Junior Level Student Review
UPDATE: I have to change my review based on what I've been through at the senior level and intern level. The school did not deliver what they promised in the end. Every time there was a live lesson on conducting audits it was interrupted. The lessons taught were just a run around. The group work was just work done without knowing if what you did was right or wrong because no true feedback was provided. There was no guidance with the work. I requested for an instructional video to be made and that never happened. This school did not offer a curriculum that teaches you how to properly conduct PCI audits. They do not help you find any type of employment either. Some of the employees were very rude and treated you as if you were nothing to do them. The program did not help you meet the type of requirements that employers are looking for. The school is extremely expensive I have been scammed out of about $11,000 to $15,000 plus more interest. Avoid this academy! I met some good people that attended the school and suffered like me. That was the only good thing that happened. ----------------------------------------------------------- I am in the junior level of the Cybersecurity Assurance Specialist program and so far I have enjoyed the curriculum. I just wish there were more hands on activities in the lessons. Having a success coach that guides you during a good portion of your journey makes a huge difference! The courses are self-paced and moderately challenging. It’s not required but having prior IT experience can be beneficial for students.

I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the curriculum so far in the Cybersecurity Assurance Specialist program. Your feedback about hands-on activities is very much appreciated. We strive to make our lessons as interactive and engaging as possible, and your input will certainly help us improve in this aspect. You're spot on about the self-paced nature of our courses. We understand that everyone learns at their own pace, and we want to accommodate that. And yes, while not a prerequisite, prior IT experience can indeed provide a helpful foundation. Isn't having a success coach amazing? They really do help guide you through the journey, providing support and encouragement along the way. Your insights are invaluable for us to continue refining and improving our program. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts!
