Yellow Tail Tech offers online AWS DevOps Engineer (44 weeks) and Linux System Administrator (24 weeks) bootcamps. Yellow Tail Tech is a hybrid e-learning program combining pre-recorded video instruction and online exercises with weekly live sessions tailored to fit the schedule of each cohort. Live sessions are typically held in the evenings to accommodate working professionals. Yellow Tail tech students should expect to spend 7 to 10 hours per week on bootcamp classes and activities.
AWS DevOps Engineer bootcamp students will learn to deploy a fault-tolerant and resilient web service architecture in AWS, monitor availability, simulate and test failure scenarios and recovery, and optimize cloud service infrastructure for cost and performance. Students will learn how to use Terraform to provision and configure AWS services in a global configuration, evaluate a cloud environment’s security vulnerabilities, and write code to automate tasks using AWS APIs and AWS Lambda.
Linux System Administrator bootcamp students will learn to install and configure OS and applications, deploy virtual machines, and perform user management tasks. Students will learn how to manage web servers, troubleshoot permission, performance and networking issues, and write bash scripts.
No prior technical experience is required to apply for either Yellow Tail Tech bootcamps. All prerequisites are built into the bootcamp curriculum designed for non-IT professionals. Yellow Tail Tech admits students based on a mutual fit selection process. Bootcamp acceptance is awarded following the required career strategy session, a 45 minute 1:1 Zoom call with a Yellow Tail Tech enrollment advisor.
Yellow Tail Tech bootcamp students may choose to enroll in an optional internship program. All bootcamp students will also receive individualized career coaching and mentoring.
Yellow Tail Tech offers a tuition reimbursement program. If bootcamp graduates don’t land a job within five months of internship completion, the full price of tuition will be reimbursed. In order to qualify for tuition reimbursement, bootcamp students must meet certain conditions including attending every live class session, completing all assignments, and scoring 70% or better on all tests.

Kevin OwooStudent • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubOct 25, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceI came into this with no tech background, but they’ve been so patient and thorough.
I started my journey with Yellow Tail Tech about six months ago. I previously worked in the Department of Defense and I’m ex-military, so transitioning into tech was a huge leap for me.

What sold me was their approach: the instructors are industry professionals who genuinely know their stuff, and that internship program really stood out.
I came into this with no tech background, but they’ve been so patient and thorough. The instructors break everything down, and you can ask as many questions as you need. It's refreshing, honestly.
I’ve gone through a lot of schooling in my life, but I’ve never experienced this level of support before. One challenge I faced was managing my time since I was still working in DOD, but they understood and always made themselves available.
The course format is solid. They guide you on what’s coming up, and you get to build skills through hands on assignments.
For anyone feeling stuck in their current career, I’d say think about where you want to be in 5 or 10 years. This program demands time and effort, but it’s an investment in yourself.- Natasha MackStudent • Student • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 13, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Yellow Tail Tech has been an incredibly positive experience, and I’m excited to continue growing in the tech field.
My experience with Yellow Tail Tech has been wonderful, truly, no complaints. The support has been incredible, and I’ve learned so much. It’s crazy how fast time flew by because we were so busy, but it was an amazing journey. I’m really glad I took this step. Moving into the tech field is helping me achieve a better worklife balance, which was my main goal. I love learning new things, and in tech, you're constantly learning. It’s a good field to be in.My experience with Yellow Tail Tech has been wonderful, truly, no complaints. The support has been incredible, and I’ve learned so much.

My instructors have been wonderful as well. They’re always there for us, whether through Messenger or extra Zoom meetings.
The networking class was awesome, I never thought I’d be interested in networking, but I really enjoyed it. Ricky, my instructor, broke everything down in a way that you can understand.
I’m just getting started with the apprenticeship, and it’s so far, so good. I’m working on tickets now, and I think the apprenticeship will allow us to gain access to more tools and improve our troubleshooting skills. It’s not the same as the training, it’s a huge learning curve, but I’m ready for it.
Yellow Tail Tech has been an incredibly positive experience, and I’m excited to continue growing in the tech field.

Yellow Tail Tech's program is not just a learning experience. it's a journey that keeps lifelong connections.

It's simply awe-inspiring to have instructors who are not just educators but professionals who bring real-world experience to the classroom.
I've had the pleasure of being taught by two amazing instructors so far. Ricky, although it was a short period, left a cool impression on me. However, it was David who truly stole the show. His outgoing personality made the class an absolute blast. Learning from him was like starting on a fun-filled adventure. Now, we've just entered the world of Cloud for Jobs, and Santiago is our guide.
