Career services Kim - our career coach and our main instructor Shirl were both extremely phenomenal to us as students They both genuinely care about their jobs and their students Kim made time for students during hours I ve never seen a career coach offer services Shirl gave us learning material that he didn t have to He stayed late in class some days and even attended a few classes during non class days to help us catch up He never made us feel silly for any questions asked There was an instructor the main cyber instructor who left our cohort very early on We students were never given an explanation or heads up This left class in a chaotic mess most days We had a pen tester instructor who done his best I m sure but he s not really a direct instructor to students when it comes to power point so I didn t gain much from him because I had no experience in pen testing so it was quite hard to follow until the very end There was another instructor who came in shortly after the main cyber instructor left He had no idea where we were in class what material we had learned what our currently skill level was as a class and didn t really know what he should ve been teaching most days Probably wasn t all his fault when he was thrown into it and not given much because I believe behind the scenes there s a HUGE lack of communication with the instructors But I didn t gain much from his teachings either Most days I was active on Project Ares or TryHackMe while he was instructing I learned so much more from both of those At the very end while we were going through death by power point for the security exam the program should ve had an actually sec instructor Poor Shirl done the absolute best that he could so grateful for him However we would and future students will benefit from an instructor whose primary mission is sec course material and teachings If I had not studied my head off for numerous hours every day attended private study sessions with some fellow students and used the review guide Henry provides to us I probably wouldn t have passed the sec It s far from an easy exam The program needs to take its difficulty much more serious than they do Overall we are overpaying by a lot for this program We got a small USB thing in a packet at the beginning and I m pretty irritated having to pay for that when we never got instructions on how to use it Yes I get that one of the instructors made a video presentation but there could ve been live instruction too WE ARE PAYING FOR IT I don t necessary regret the program because it has given me some skills I will use in the near future but I don t appreciate they promote it as upon graduation we will get you into a high paying cyber role All of that is fake Only way for that to happen is if one has previous experience I m paying for career services and our instructor Shirl s amazingness as a teacher That s what I will say is worth the total of the program upon completion They are the two who deserve a 10 star review

The course offered little more than what can be found for free or severely less expensive from sites like YouTube Udemy Professor Messer etc The instructors were great However the content was not worth the price of admission I would strongly advise against paying what they are asking for the content received The entire program felt very thrown together and poorly planned executed There was a small section of virtual cyber games simulation exercises which is the only reason I m giving 2 stars instead of 1 The simulations were great in context but the performance of the platform these simulations were run on was abysmal Save yourself the money and get the free cheaper options If money is not an issue go with WGU or another accredited institution

For me I would have greatly benefited from a hands on type of onboarding process I received my welcome kit 4 weeks after I started my classes Not a huge deal but I realized after I rec d it that it contained tools resources I could have used in some of the classes I already completed The class content seems to be good However I feel like I am on an island trying to navigate some of the more difficult content by myself I will persevere but I can see how some people would get extremely frustrated Thank you for your response You are correct I received one email and one VM from the student success coordinator The VM went directly into my spam so and I was never aware of the call Yes I did find the email with the scheduler earlier today and yes I have set up that call Please note a 2 5 hour window between 10am-12 30pm during the same business hours most people work makes it a bit difficult to schedule But when you want something bad enough you make it happen Thank you again for your response I will fully utilize the call to address my needs and fill in the gaps so I can continue on and be one of your success stories
