After spending five weeks in the Capslock cybersecurity course, I have mixed feelings about the experience.
On the positive side, the team-based learning approach seems to work well for many students, with around 75% of graduates reportedly finding jobs within six months of finishing the course. The course also provides access to valuable resources such as RangeForce and O'Reilly, and the people at Capslock are generally friendly and helpful.

On the positive side, the team-based learning approach seems to work well for many students, with around 75% of graduates reportedly finding jobs within six months of finishing the course. The course also provides access to valuable resources such as RangeForce and O'Reilly, and the people at Capslock are generally friendly and helpful.
Additionally, the course offers a cybersecurity practitioner certification, which could be useful for some learners.
However, there are several drawbacks to the course that I feel potential students should be aware of. Despite being advertised as "live classes," the actual instruction time is minimal. Instead, most of the learning takes place within teams, with students researching topics and creating PowerPoints on their own.
Unfortunately, many of the course tutors are past students with limited knowledge and experience in cybersecurity. I found that I was often left to solve problems and answer questions on my own, even during "live" class sessions. Furthermore, some of the security measures used by Capslock seem to be amateurish and easily bypassed, raising concerns about the quality of instruction and the safety of student data.
Ultimately, while Capslock may work well for some students, I would caution anyone who is truly passionate about cybersecurity against taking this course. The cost is high, and much of the learning seems to take place outside of class time, with little support from instructors. I personally feel that I could have learned more on my own with the same amount of time and effort.
As it stands, I have left the course due to what I consider to be an overreaction on the part of Capslock, ( They left a hyperlink to their intranet on a banner and when I clicked on it they accused me of being unethical and gaining unauthorised access).
Luckily I was offered a full refund if I leave so I took that.- AnonymousGraduate • CAPSLOCK Full Time Cyber Security Bootcamp • OnlineAug 16, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Not worth it
Poor teaching quality, very poor job assistance and support from the career's team. Please, save your money and study on your own, there's plenty of free materials. Engage with the cyber community on LI. Stay away from these predatory bootcamps!
