Learn Network Security at These 158 Network Security Bootcamps

Very intense 3 months where you learn a lot with tons of hands on practise, following a well structured course curriculum. 
Educators are very helpful too. 

I was lucky to get a BC government grant as unemployed. That said, I think the regular $16000 is very expensive. 

NuCamp FullStack Web & Mobile App Development Review

Introduction and Decision-Making Process
When I first started researching bootcamps, NuCamp stood out because of its affordable price and flexible schedule, combining self-paced learning with instructor support and a community for help and advice. These factors played a significant role in my decision to choose NuCamp.

Course Structure and Content
The course structure was well-designed. The bootcamp I attended was the FullStack and Mobile App Development bootcamp, which teaches JavaScript fundamentals and how to build FullStack applications with MongoDB, Express, React, and NodeJS (MERN stack). It also covered React Native for mobile app development. The subjects built on each other as the course progressed, and some topics were revisited to reinforce learning.
The bootcamp is structured with weekly assignments that include lesson overview videos, lesson videos, and exercise videos to follow along with. Sometimes there would be practice lessons where we wouldn't code using VSCode on our computers but use CodePen or similar websites that allow students to code in the browser and post links to their code. There were also discussion forums for students to post some of the assignments and discuss them with each other, similar to college discussion posts. At the end of the week, there is a quiz and a weekly feedback session where students can share what they liked or any potential issues. This approach makes you feel like NuCamp genuinely cares about student experiences.
Each section of the bootcamp allows students to work on a portfolio project, either individually or in teams, to facilitate their learning. Although I noticed that portfolio projects were mentioned less frequently during the workshops towards the end of the bootcamp, I recommend doing a portfolio project for each course in the FullStack bootcamp as they significantly enhance your learning, coding, research, and debugging skills.
NuCamp’s community is on Discord, with various servers for different courses. The servers include instructors, students, graduates, and ambassadors who can help answer questions. This is very useful and makes the community feel lively and active.

Flexibility and Part-Time Schedule
The bootcamp offered a flexible schedule, allowing me to complete lessons at my own pace throughout the week. As long as the lesson modules were completed before the weekend workshop, you’re on track.

Instruction and Mentorship
The instructors were very knowledgeable. While the quality of instruction can vary depending on the instructor, mine were responsive on Discord, typically replying within a day.

Learning Environment
The learning environment was generally good. Weekly workshops facilitated useful discussions, and many students shared common issues. The Discord community was a valuable resource for finding answers. Considering debugging and fixing issues is a big part of software development, NuCamp has a guideline called the 20-minute rule, which encourages students to research answers to any question that arises for 20 minutes before asking for help.

Skills and Knowledge Gained
I gained significant technical skills, particularly in JavaScript and FullStack MERN applications. However, I supplemented my learning with additional YouTube videos for specific topics and portfolio project needs.

Career Support and Outcomes
Completing the FullStack bootcamp gave me the skills to build FullStack applications. While it doesn't guarantee immediate job placement, it provides access to NuCamp's Job Hunting course content. Paying for the course includes instructor support.

Cost and Value
NuCamp offers an affordable price compared to other bootcamps that can cost upwards of $10K. It also provides lifetime access to course content. The part-time, self-paced format means it takes longer than some other bootcamps, which might have full-day classes, but this isn't necessarily a drawback.

Challenges and Areas for Improvement
One area for improvement is the inconsistency between videos and written lessons, particularly in the NodeJS and MongoDB sections. Video instructions sometimes used different versions than the written instructions, causing confusion and time-consuming debugging sessions. While debugging is a critical skill, the inconsistency could be frustrating.

Conclusion
Overall, I rate NuCamp highly. The FullStack bootcamp provides enough knowledge and confidence to create your own projects and continue learning independently. It also helps you identify areas where you need further learning, which is crucial for advancing in FullStack application development.

The only cons to the bootcamp are the fact that the labs are simple click and post labs. Outside of this, the resources availble to help grow, amazing mentors with current experience in the field, career coaches with experience in the job market, and full control of how to manage time and generous payment options, all contribute to how amazing Springboard is for anyone getting into cybersecurity. Furthermore, they also prepare you to take the Security + and pay giving you the ultimate starter kit to embark on your job search.

Hello everyone!
Before starting the bootcamp I was super scared that I wasn't going to be able to follow the classes and understand the content but it turned out to be way better in so many aspects than I could've ever imagined. From my fellow coleagues, to the professors and to the whole staff of Ironhack everyone helped each other out so much that made the whole bootcamp and the whole proccess of learning new things so much easier.
I want to give a special appreciation to Diogo Capitão, the PM on the Lisbon campus for making sure everyone had everything they needed and to attend to everyone's necessities makinhg sure everything went as smoothly as possaible.
On a last note I just want to say it was one of the best decisions I made recently and I highly reccoment it to everyone wanting to shift carreers to any of the bootcamps available.

It's a really engaging bootcamp. It prepare with the necessary skills to apply in the professional life. They offer great help to develop the necessary skills needed to apply in the data environment.  Also the professional development support is off the charts, it's give contrast to past experiences and help identify existing skills that can be enhance to apply in data analytics.

As an individual coming from NO computer background what-so-ever, I want to  share my experiences.

First of all, I have a great support system at home that allowed me to focus 100% on this course for 4 months. I was able to take a recourse to prepare me for the full-time program. 

The first month was HARD. I thought I was going to give up. The assignments are fast, and I spent all of my free time studying. It was difficult not to compare where  I stood to others in my class. At my toughest moment, I reached out to my Career Services Manager and my TA. They both helped encourage me and offer support when I needed them. 

I would say the most important take-aways for those looking to join the bootcamp: Make sure you have a support system. Don't compare yourself to others in the class. Stay dedicated and find the motivation behind why you're doing this. 

Coding Dojo has great resources throughout the course, that continue on for 6 months after you graduate. There is also an option to pay more for a yearly alumni pass. 

I joined ReCoded Algeria Bootcamp back in june 2017, currently i'm still a student in it and will hopefully graduate by December, the whole bootcamp was nothing but an amazing experience, from the mentors, to the career prep teams, to the choosen students, to the provided materials and feedback, truly the best. It wasn't onlu great academically but felt homey as well with the shared love, laughter, memes and even personal experiences from everyone included. I HIGHLY recommend it! 

The Tech Academy is a great place to start your journey in software development. I recently completed the Software Developer boot camp and I couldn't be happier. It starts off with basics of computers and how they work. Then you get into the basics of multiple languages like Python, JavaScript, and C#. The job placement course is amazingly helpful with creating your resume and cover letters. The only con is that the course gets a little repetitive at times. The projects that you create give you great fundamental information and room to expand your knowledge. The job placement staff are incredibly helpful with tips on applications and how to continue to improve your skills. 

I want to start off by saying thank you to the entire Fullstack team for all the help that they've given me. Kim Wood is an extremely knowledgeable career coach and she helped me a ton when it came to my interview process. The instructors were extremely friendly and knowledgeable as well. A few things to consider if you're thinking about enrolling at Fullstack... Start studying for your Security+ ASAP and be prepared to study outside of class hours. My two goals when starting this course were to have Sec+ completed and a job lined up for when I graduated. Both of those goals have been accomplished, I actually got my job offer 3 days before graduation! I know most everyone who reads these reviews wants to know whether or not they will get a job and I'm confident to say that if I can do it, anyone can do it. The only downside I can think of with this bootcamp would be that my cohort was over 70 students which made it a bit tough to get 1 on 1 time with the instructors and to have your personal questions answered. However, there are mentors in the cohorts in which they provide outside class office hours that you can attend to ask any questions if you can spare any time outside the course itself. Lastly, start focusing on LinkedIn and building connections. This is how I found out, applied and got my job so I cannot stress enough how important LinkedIn is. Also, NO I did NOT have prior tech/cybersecurity experience before this bootcamp either. I started from scratch!

They adopt the project-based learning method by instructors who are experts in their field. It also shows how the problems we may encounter in the sector can be solved. Not only problem solutions are shown, but also how to deal with a possible problem is explained. Training programs are updated by following the current developments and needs in the sector.

Great feeling when it's done, how these challenges shape your way of thinking to solve different problems. Engaging in these exercises not only sharpens your problem-solving skills but also instils a sense of accomplishment. The structured approach to tackling diverse challenges each week broadens your perspective and enhances your adaptability. It's amazing to see how each challenge contributes to personal growth, fostering creativity and resilience. Overall, it's an enriching experience that not only improves technical prowess but also moulds you into a more resourceful and confident individual.

The first time I called them I thought they were a scam LOL but then they started to explain what they were all about and everything began to sink in. I hope everyone who reads this that are thinking about going this career route has an opportunity to talk to them and check out what an amazing school they are. They will help you throughout the whole program, is not a moment that are going to feel alone. This is a life-changing decision and they would make it fun and dynamic to learn it and be part of the experience. BTW I hate writing reviews but they deserve every word and this would change everyone's lives. 

 I would recommend DigitalCrafts to anyone that is committed to transitioning into full-stack software development. During the 17-week full-time program I experienced tremendous growth and was able to build much greater things than I expected. On the 17th week I was accepted into an internship and it's because of this bootcamp. During the full-time bootcamp it is up to you and how hard you are willing to apply yourself during this time. If you need to recharge, recharge. However, if you have free time, commit it to learning new technologies or improving existing skills. As I write this, I am now familiarizing myself with an entirely new codebase and beginning work with 40 other developers. The curriculum keeps you moving and lays an important foundation for new developers. Also, I would recommend Veronica as an instructor. If you're willing to work hard and you aren't just trying to "get by" - this bootcamp will be great for you. 

J'ai suivi la formation Data Analyst Essential. J'avoue que les 2 premiers jours j'ai cru ne pas pouvoir réussir vu l'intensité de la formation. Mais grâce à la pédagogie, la disponibilité, l'écoute
et la bienveillance de toute l'équipe Jedha, j'ai bouclé ce premier module par un projet que je n'aurai pas imaginer pouvoir faire le premier jour. Merci à cette équipe dynamique et qui prends plaisir à transmettre son savoir. Une très bonne formation. Maintenant cap sur la formation Data Analyst Fullstack

This 6 month bootcamp took me from not knowing how to write a single line of code in HTML or CSS, to creating a full-stack mobile  trivia application that talks to ChatGPT through the OpenAI API!! So, I would say I've come a long way. You also meet great people along the way that will help you get a job! Highly recommend for anyone looking to get into the business!

My experience at Codeworks Bootcamp was intense but incredibly rewarding. It provided the immersive experience I was seeking. While the onus was on me to put in the hard work, Codeworks provided invaluable support and gave me the tools to continue learning and improving my skills. The post-bootcamp support in finding a job was crucial and greatly aided my career change. Overall, despite the challenges, Codeworks played a significant role in my journey.

I recently transitioned from graphic design to cyber security, and I'm grateful for Evolve Academy's support. Despite no prior IT knowledge, the transition was smooth due to their comprehensive assistance. Step-by-step guidance, teacher availability, and recorded lectures provided a personalized and flexible learning experience. Collaborative classes pushed me out of my comfort zone, and concerns about isolation were alleviated by a supportive virtual community. Mike, an exceptional teacher, guided me with patience. Now actively seeking cyber security opportunities, I feel well-prepared and confident, thanks to Evolve Academy's thorough training. The skills acquired surpass those from a Google Cyber Security course. This investment equips me to handle real-world scenarios, setting me apart in the job market and boosting my overall confidence.

It was an exceptional educational experience from day one due to the quality and commitment of Professor Ernesto, whose passion for teaching and deep knowledge of web development was reflected in each class. His practical approach and ability to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely made each session very enriching as well as challenging.

Also his assistant Nancy was an invaluable resource to me, always willing to provide additional support, answer questions and offer additional guidance that contributed significantly to the fulfillment of all learning requirements.

The entire 4Geeks Academy support team, whose efficiency and promptness in addressing any issues or concerns that arose during the Bootcamp was impressive. They were always available to help, which created a challenging and interesting learning environment.

I graduated form MAX Technical Training's Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp. I highly recommend this program. I did a lot of researching when deciding which bootcamp to attend. I decided on this one because the languages and Stack aligned with my desired list of technologies I wanted to learn. However, I received so much more than I expected. My Instructors were, and have been very attentive to all of my  questions and struggles. My career coach has guided me every step of the way through job search. She has always been available when I need to talk. The staff as a whole is nothing but attentive and supportive. And even though I have completed my training and career search, they are still there for me. As I am starting my new and first role as a software developer, my instructor is supporting me through my required learning. When they say they support you and give you every tool available to succeed, they mean it. I cannot say enough good things about them. I will also mention that I was a virtual student in a class of in-person students. The instructors made sure that I was included in all class interactions and exercises. I have made so many friends and connections through this experience. It has truly been life changing for me and my family.  

My experience at ENTITY Academy shaped my career: thanks to the skills I gained in editorial and SEO, I was able to secure a steady gig as a freelance content manager for a reputable SEO agency directly following my graduation. The writing and editing on WordPress, as well as the collaborative workshopping of digital marketing collateral (think social media, branding, PPC), helped me hone the skills I needed to thrive as a marketing expert. Now, as a Content Marketing Manager for a professional membership community in the tech world, I'm practicing the knowledge I learned at ENTITY every day. Oh, and did I mention I was able to learn about and secure this job through the networking connections I formed at ENTITY? On top of the hard skills I developed, I also built lasting friendships and professional connections that continue to serve me well. 

Thank you, ENTITY Academy, for one of the best summers of my life.

The No code / Low code AI Machine learning course has provided me with a wonderful foundation upon which I can continue to build. The materials were very details and the video lectures were detailed and thorough. One of the best parts was the mentored learning sessions w Akash. Going through the material and then being able to talk about it and work through examples was great. Amazing support and communication from great learning (Juhi) as well.

I joined the Data Analytics Bootcamp with University of Toronto in August 2023. My reason to join was to upskill myself to join the industry back after a long career gap. Although the course was very fast-paced and rigorous it covered a wide variety of topics in a very organized manner. I loved the fact that there was help available 24X7 with resources like AskBCS, Tutor Sessions, office hours. This course gave me the confidence boost I needed to re-launch my career. The instructional team was amazing and always very patient. If you're looking to get the best educational experience but have limited time on hands, this should be your go-to path.

After completing the intensive 480-hour Data Science program at The Bridge, I feel thoroughly equipped to tackle any challenge in the data analysis realm. This bootcamp has not only provided me with a solid foundation in Python, but it has also immersed me in advanced machine learning and big data techniques.

What truly sets this program apart is its practical, hands-on approach. From day one, we were engaged in real-world projects, allowing me to develop not just technical skills but also a deep understanding of how to apply these concepts in real-life situations. The instructors, all experts in their fields, were incredibly approachable and dedicated, ensuring that every student got the most out of the learning experience.

The collaborative environment and constant support from peers and mentors created an ideal atmosphere for learning and innovation. Additionally, the networking sessions and professional development workshops were instrumental in better understanding the job market and preparing for my future career in data science.

In summary, my time at The Bridge has been one of the most rewarding and transformative experiences of my professional life. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to make a significant career transition or deepen their knowledge in data science. It's an investment that's worthwhile in every sense!

I came to this review site before quitting my job and doing this bootcamp, so I thought it would be nice to come full circle and leave a review after starting my career in tech. Overall, the bootcamp is great - you learn a lot in a short amount of time. I would recommend a bootcamp if you are in a hurry to change careers. That being said, LHL is not responsible for the overarching job market / economic climate. When I graduated every tech giant was doing mass layoffs. Bear that in mind before making a decision. Nothing is guaranteed. After a total of 8 months (which includes 3months of bootcamp) i finally landed a junior dev role. And I was lucky. That being said, the support from career services was good. They help where they can. If I were to use an analogy: they are a passenger in the car you are driving. Is it worth the money? I'm not sure. I think that they do a lot of behind-the-scenes work that indirectly benefited me. 

Overall, if you are passionate about tech and want to start your career, give it a go. Life is too short.

For curriculum I would prefer not spending a week on Ruby. I think the curriculum would be better served with an extra week with React or learning Typescript. Pivoting out of Javascript for a week didn't feel worth it to me. On top of that none of the TAs who picked up my request-tickets knew the language. The only fringe benefit of the Ruby week was that it was nice to see the MVC approach.
