Broad Skills, Supportive, and Intensive Learning

At the start of the program, I was quite apprehensive and stressed about diving into such an intensive course. However, student services and my trainers, Chaitanya & Isabelle were incredibly supportive, providing positive reassurance that helped elevate my concerns. Their encouragement made a significant difference in my confidence and ability to tackle the coursework.
The curriculum is robust, covering essential foundations in Python, machine learning, and other key areas, such as soft skills (critical thinking, presenting, documentation). It's a comprehensive overview that serves as a jack of all trades, master of none. This broad approach is perfect for those looking to gain a wide range of skills in a short period. Be prepared, though—the course moves at a rapid pace. It’s definitely a case of what you put in is what you get out.
I would recommend completing the pre-course work in plenty of time to alleviate stress. This preparation will help you start the boot camp on the right foot and keep up with the fast-paced learning environment. Additionally, a laptop with at least 8GB of RAM or higher is essential for the course. For the final capstone project, I highly recommend sourcing a data set as early as possible to give yourself ample time to work on it.
By the end of the course, I was very pleased with what I had achieved and how far I had come. The progress I made in just 12 weeks was beyond my expectations.
While I am still in the process of securing a full-time data role, I can't comment extensively on job prospects after the course. However, I can say that the job outcomes team is very friendly and provide a wealth of resources.
Overall, I would say the course is a good introduction, but please manage your expectations when it comes to transitioning to the field of data science and AI and job prospects. . - Michael BockGraduate • Cybersecurity (Part-Time) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMay 01, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Personal growth and skill development.
Before starting this course, I had doubts about its usefulness for me, as I have been working in the IT industry for 25 years. However, I decided to combine my practical experience with the knowledge gained from this Cybersecurity Boot Camp. Our instructor was outstanding, and his IT expertise was exceptional. Although I already had some experience in cybersecurity, I noticed that the students who had no IT experience were well-supported and could participate actively in the classes.Before starting this course, I had doubts about its usefulness for me, as I have been working in the IT industry for 25 years.

Although I already had some experience in cybersecurity, I noticed that the students who had no IT experience were well-supported and could participate actively in the classes.
This program was not limited to theory only, and we got hands-on experience in pen-testing and system hardening. I consider my capstone project as my personal accomplishment, as I enjoyed conducting research and presenting my findings in the final assessment.
I would highly recommend this course to anyone interested in learning about cybersecurity. It's a valuable investment of both time and money, and it provides excellent opportunities for personal and professional growth. - Matthew RushGraduate • Cybersecurity (Full-Time) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInApr 03, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Job services helped make an amazing resume, but I didn't really have to get help after that.

There follow along way of teaching along with individual tasks and bigger projects allow the learners to ensure they are up to scratch with what is being taught and are not lagging behind. The projects i found were the biggest benefit to my learning as it gave us a great opportunity to blend in all the skills or our favourite coding techniques into a project we had an interest is and really gave us a real life use of certain coding methods and functions.
The only downside i would say is that on the final Capstone project you are not given a certain mark to see how well you met the requirements, rather only given a pass or a fail grading even though the marking sheet has scores that can be allocated. This would of provided a great indicator for the students on what their strengths and weaknesses are.
Other than that, happy with the overall layout and format of the bootcamp and a great way to get some kind of credential or certification under your belt to enter the work force
