The ability to access class recordings is a huge help, especially for someone like me, a busy nurse. If I miss a class, I can catch up by watching the recordings and still stay connected with classmates and TAs. This flexibility lets me learn at my own pace without any stress. Studying IT infrastructure and networking, including subnets, has been fun. It's opened up new career possibilities as a networking engineer. The coursework is engaging and helps me explore different interests in the tech industry. My learning journey at Yellow Tail Tech has been enjoyable, and I'm loving what I'm studying.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -
