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. Yellow Tail Tech is a Maryland State WIOA Occupational Training provider and bootcamp students may qualify for state funding.

Yellow Tail Tech brings out the best in me. This is the first and only time I’ve literally enjoyed studying. I’m usually skipping class at school but the way David Baker taught us Linux is so fun and enjoyable and honestly I’m really enjoying what I do. In the next few weeks, I’m confident to say I’ll be a Linux System Administrator and get a job!

Yellow Tail Tech is a really open learning environment. My colleagues and I collaborate well in class. It’s a really nice environment. You just need to be willing to do the work and you know practice. - Lisimba AdegokeGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
At Yellow Tail Tech there is a designated time for us to take the class, and we are also given time to review and absorb the material.
The instructors at Yellow Tail Tech are not just excellent, they are outstanding! I came to the US a month before the pandemic and I was in search of something that would help me earn so I can support my family back in my home country. I got hired as a salesperson and somehow the job became a routine and I was ready for something challenging. This friend of mine who’s a nurse had just recently enrolled at Yellow Tail Tech and encouraged me to check their programs too.The instructors at Yellow Tail Tech are not just excellent, they are outstanding!

I enrolled in Yellow Tail Tech’s Linux for Jobs program. Me and my friend were classmates and it’s funny cause we see each other at work and we also see each other in class. The training is really good, unlike other schools where it’s self-paced where you can just come in and out of your time, it’s so easy to procrastinate and postpone the lessons. At Yellow Tail Tech there is a designated time for us to take the class, and we are also given time to review and absorb the material. I like it that way.
I believe in the program so much that I know that if I just follow Yellow Tail Tech’s instructions I know I can make it. - Jothson PollasStudent • Cloud For Jobs 2.0 • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The instructors and TAs, I can’t even think of a word to say about them, those guys are amazing.

You can talk with your students. You can ask questions with the teachers and more than that is we have that channel, a slack channel where we can communicate. There are people 24/7.

I remember since day one when I talked to, I don't remember the name of the lady the first time I spoke to, she was very, very nice. Everybody in the Yellow Tail Tech family, they are so nice and everybody is willing to help you if you ever have any situation going on. So to me, the teachers are great and the staff is amazing. - Daniel NoelBehavior Therapist • Student • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 20, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Well guided adventure
Yellow Tail Tech is definitely not a tech "Boot Camp". It is a school. A Real school. Students are in class, encouraged to ask the professor any questions, and build a great two way communication relationship just like in a university. My experience has been very pleasant. The staff has been very supportive and encouraging. - Laquinta KingGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
What a ride! The whole structure is perfect!
Yellow Tail Tech helped me have a more flexible schedule, without sacrificing my finances. I was working as a flight attendant and our schedule was chaotic. The perks of traveling anywhere is nice and rewarding but when you have a family already staying at home is something I really want. My husband is working in an office so we have to ask my mom to take care of our two kids, which worked out until she suffered a mild stroke and I decided to stop flying.

I learned about Yellow Tail Tech from my friend who’s husband is studying in one of their programs. I looked into their website and since I was kinda desperate to do something I booked a session with them and enrolled. It was a swift process that by the time I was studying the Linux for Jobs program and months had passed already I never really expected that here I am at cert prep.
What a ride! The whole structure is perfect! I like how the teachers handed down the modules and how easy it is for us to reach out to our instructors especially if we have questions. Since I’m preparing for my certification already, I’m confident that after I pass and do the internship, Yellow Tail Tech will still be there for me to assist me in everything. - Tanginika WalkerGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I'm so glad that I was able to start this journey through Yellow Tail Tech! I'm so grateful that it all turned out well for me.
My previous work was in a gas station, it’s my way of helping out my parents, and since I’ve stopped studying already I have to get other side hustles to provide for my personal needs too. I’ve always been fascinated by the world of IT and it’s like a kid’s dream for me working in the IT industry but I just had to let it pass.

I’ve always been fascinated by the world of IT and it’s like a kid’s dream for me working in the IT industry but I just had to let it pass.
I never really thought that I could be studying IT or working in it because looking back I have no idea how I could finance myself but one time my uncle visited and asked about my future plans, what I loved to do, I told him about IT and he then introduced Yellow Tail Tech because his friend is studying there. He offered me a loan and that’s it I just enrolled in their Linux for Jobs program and put in everything I’ve got. The good thing about Yellow Tail Tech is that I can still do some day time jobs because classes start at 7:00 PM which is really convenient. I like the fact that we have review sessions every weekend too.
I’ve always told myself that when I get in I have to really focus because this is it, this is my first step. I’m very thankful to all my teachers because they’ve been great at everything - support, giving tips, the lessons were handled in a way that everyone can really understand and you can ask any question.
Yellow Tail Tech has given me the opportunity to really learn something new and apply it on real projects. I'm so glad that I was able to start this journey through Yellow Tail Tech! I'm so grateful that it all turned out well for me. Now, I’m working from home and the journey that I had from just a nobody to what I am now is really something. - Ranielle MartinezGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

It’s tiring you know, driving everyday and to be honest it became boring. All I do is drive from one destination to the next. I’m sure this is not the thing for me but I’m scared of jumping into something I’m not familiar with and failing. I don’t want to be a bus driver until I die. A friend told me about Yellow Tail Tech, and I never imagined myself learning IT. In fact I told my friend that at my age IT should not be my next career target, but when I saw the interviews on their website of people like me who had no background in IT, it made me want to learn more—so much so that I signed up right away.
It was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. I'm so glad that I enrolled at Yellow Tail Tech. The instructors are not just the best they go above and beyond for you. I mean you will know if someone wants the best for you or if they’re just doing their job. At Yellow Tail Tech, the instructors, teacher assistants and the whole team wants you to succeed. I mean it’s a learning platform and a support system at the same time.
Now, I'm working from home as a Linux System Administrator. My boss is extremely impressed with my work ethic and knowledge base, which is clear evidence that this job is making me happier than ever before. I really recommend Yellow Tail Tech to anyone. They’re the best. - Moesha SmithGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Of course, the latter would be my obvious choice right? But I was still hesitant because of the number of scammers I hear and see on the news. I did some research on bootcamps but nothing stood out until my cousin told me about Yellow Tail Tech, he said that his friend who was a nurse before is now working remotely in an IT company. I was like wow, that’s amazing. So I went to the Yellow Tail Tech website and I saw the students that were successful because of them.
It’s been three months since I started the program and I am very very glad I did. It was amazing learning new things and the teachers were very friendly and very engaging too. Our lead instructor is Zee and I’m very grateful for all the guidance he has given me and the rest of our class.
If I had to make a decision of whether I should shift to an IT Career I wish I did it sooner. I thank myself for not passing on this opportunity, I’m very excited about what's going to happen next. I would really recommend Yellow Tail Tech to anyone who wants to have a change of pace and a career in IT. - Quinto AkinyemiGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 15, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I started at Yellow Tail Tech with a lot of doubts and fears, but the teachers and the program structure quickly helped me overcome them. I am so glad that I enrolled in the program. All the teachers were excellent—they made sure that every student understood what they were learning, so when it was time to take the certification exam all of us were prepared. I was so shocked that all the questions from the cert prep ( when we were still preparing for the red hat certification) were in the exam like 95% of everything we studied were there.
Yellow Tail Tech also helped me polish my LinkedIn profile and resume and we also did mock interviews which were so awesome. I couldn't make it without them! After 2 months of sending resumes and answering interview questions, I actually received 3 job offers all offering remote work. I’m glad I chose Yellow Tail Tech and I’m so happy with my growth both in my career and personal life. - Quashawn AkintolaGraduate • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 14, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I really like the way our teachers explain things because I can understand them clearly and they don’t just teach you, they also motivate you.
I have been working as a machine operator for the past five years and I have seen many changes in the industry, especially during the pandemic. I also observed that during that time many workers decided to work from home and because of that there is an increase in hiring people from IT. It didn’t really cross my mind to be an IT professional. I was just jealous of those people who were able to earn a higher salary while working from home.

I saw an ad for Yellow Tail Tech on my way home from work, and I thought it would be interesting to learn more about what they do. When I went to their website, I was impressed with their high-quality content and student community. They really do prepare students well for the job market after they graduate.
The program structure is very excellent, especially for people with no IT background. I really like the way our teachers explain things because I can understand them clearly and they don’t just teach you, they also motivate you. It’s true what they say that if you work hard you’re going to succeed. When I passed the Red Hat Certification Exam I was so happy, my teachers and classmates were also very happy for me and that’s what I like about Yellow Tail Tech, we’re like a family.
After a month of interviews and job search, I was able to land a job and the salary was very competent. The best thing about it is that I received two offers from different companies. Yellow Tail Tech is highly recommended by me if you want to learn new skills or get ahead in your career! - Kreymer PascoStudent • Lnx For Jobs • OnlineVerified by GitHubAug 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The classes are very well structured that you can really get to know your classmates and instructors, and they are also organized in such a way that it doesn't feel like you sit around all day doing nothing.
I really appreciated the message that Jubee was telling us and what the school is all about. It wasn't just about getting me a certification, but getting me a career, starting me off, and doing the right steps. That was exactly what I wanted out of my education as well as my career path.
My experience so far has been fantastic! My instructor is wonderful, he goes above and beyond to help each student succeed no matter where they are on their path toward learning or working toward their goals. Classmates are great too, we all learn together through our discussions in class. I learn a lot every time I’m in class.
