So I was blessed enough to be accepted into the SANS Womens Cyber Security Immersion Academy. After months of interviewing and getting recommendation letters I got accepted into a 6 month boot camp for 3 certs (I got to choose an elective) everything fully paid for. Value of the program is at least $20,000
graduating from my cybersecurity bootcamp in two weeks! A few of my classmates landed interviews not even halfway through the bootcamp. I've learned a ton also.
@@hamdij5560 Honestly I'd say just take notes and ask as many questions as possible. If your bootcamp is anything like mine. Your instructors will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
@@Bby755 thank you, did you have any technical background before, because I don’t have any technical background, do you think someone like me could succeed in the cyber security bootcamp?
Thank you for this content Sandra! I’m a new subscriber. I don’t have any IT experience but I am looking into being a PACS Admin since I am a radiologic technologist. I’ve been looking into boot camps since I don’t have any IT experience but with your help and videos, I was able to find much more information!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I have heard mixed reviews on bootcamps. I am self-taught and have looked at bootcamp curriculi and often find that i can find as much or more using free resources online. There are online courses that provide certificates, etc. that may be much more worthwhile as many bootcamps can be ridiculously expensive. I have gotten some attraction by some employers just by getting certificates from online learning resources, but that is my experience.
Well I’d assume they still cost money but some boot camps don’t make u pay until u actually lane a job and as opposed to how much you’ll pay at a university it’s way cheaper.
The people that primarily work in Washington DC in the Security field are people who have obtained a Bachelor's degree from their service in the Armed Forces. Plus they have experience as a Specialist, etc. in the Army, Navy, etc! Thank you for the information!
Wow! Excellent! I'm actually surprised that bootcamps are worthwhile. Great content here Sandra! Thank you beautiful lady! I hope you guys are having a good weekend.
Thanks so much John! When I was doing research for this topic I was actually really pleasantly surprised as well with all the positive metrics around coding/cyber bootcamps, have an awesome sunday :)
Thank you Sandra! Really looking into a Beginners course for Python programming that isn’t on youtube, i’m glad you mentioned General assembly, I did not know about some of those other boot camps! Really appreciate the video!
id recommend Dr. Angela Yu's Bootcamp she has Python Full stack web development and more. She is founder of the London App Brewery in London and has taught over 2 million students.. of course i don't live in London but on Udemy she has the exact same lessons and sections as in person :) the in person costs 12k so getting the same exact thing online was worth it for $170 or around there. O had basics down but needed more advanced work. I got hired as a junior Developer at Google
I am changing careers and I am torn between boot camps. On one hand some people are telling me that there are free boot camps but I don’t see 1:1 mentorship or job guarantees, and on the other end, I found a Boot Camp in MD University that is 13k but offers a lot of support with mentors, job guarantee and front end and back end. I am going to have to take a loan but I think I should go for the one in MD university. It sounded promising. What is your advice?
Any program with job guarantees (aka “if you dont get a job within 12 months, you get your money back) or ISAs (income shared agreements where you dont pay until you get a job n then part of ur paycheck goes to the bootcamp) are going to be the best if the job search is your main concern. Even if it may not be the #1 bootcamp, if you need support during your job search and thats something you value highly, then go for that, as long as it teaches you the basics or foundations for the job you want to go into. Typically universities with bootcamp programs already have a career center for their students so they may be better equipped than stand alone bootcamps that offer career guidance too. Good luck Ana and so excited you’re interested in getting into cybersecurity! Keep us updated! ☺️
Hello! 👋 I would like to ask you about your bootcamp experience. Is it UMGC? I would like to go for a bootcamp too but kind of skeptical about it since there are mixed reviews. Thank you!
Hi Sandra! Is it possible to have a career in Cyber Security with a criminal record? Specifically a felony such as Conspiracy to Possess with the Intent to Distribute LSD.
what are your thoughts on if the bootcamp is fully funded by the goverment? I've already gotten a degree in information systems but I'd like to increase my technical skills. The only cost of this is that I'd be out of work studying fulltime in the bootcamp for 3-4months. I'm located in new zealand though so the tech scene isn't as big here.
Agreed, a CompSci degree could be just as good if you get experience hacking yourself, which is mostly free online including sites like Tryhackme/Hackthebox and most tools are free to use or have a community edition - nmap, burpsuite, wireshark, etc. Good luck with your decision!
Thanks Steven! I'm not familiar with them but I'd make sure to ask/check for actual alumni who found jobs after graduating from codingnomads and the companies they got into/salaries they started at. This will tell you everything you need to know for how good the bootcamp is, good luck!
Ima get my bachelors degree in cyber security but i need one bootcamp experience one is 2,500 and another that cost 5k should i just do the cheaper one so i can get my bachelors done quick?
Hi Sandra, I’ve been researching Cyber Security boot camps and I’m impressed by the course offered by The Tech Academy. Do you have any opinions or feedback on their course? Thanks in advance!
Hiii! I m from italy, and I like your video,really interessing. I have a question, i m 24 y old, i started university when i was 19/20 i computer engineering filed(not comp.science). There was a lot of subject lime electronics,telecomunications ecc where i was not interested, and I also had some financial " problem(and I was also bored about accademic enviroment) so i stopped university and I started to work(in a totale different field, gold production like make jewellery ecc "a manual" job, my city is famous for that ). Now I m 24 and I want to start back university, maybe with a differenti mindset, is it too late in your opinion? I also like travellin, i want to discover new country,new people ecc. If you can give me some tips it ll be really helpful! Thanks. Cya from italy! Ps you are cute 😀 😃
Have you attended a bootcamp or are you planning on it? 👩🏻💻
Planning on attending one, thanks for this it’s so helpful.

Sorry so my point was to say definitely people look into scholarship programs they’re out there!

Hey Morgan, I’m staring my bootcamp for cyber security next week with zero tech experience, do you have any advice for me ?
@@hamdij5560 Honestly I'd say just take notes and ask as many questions as possible. If your bootcamp is anything like mine. Your instructors will be more than happy to answer any questions that you may have.
@@Bby755 thank you, did you have any technical background before, because I don’t have any technical background, do you think someone like me could succeed in the cyber security bootcamp?
@@hamdij5560 Not really. I just knew some command line stuff. If I can do it I'm sure you can. Just gotta stay on top of your studies!
@@Bby755 thank you for the feedback I appreciate it

Could you give me an example of some good online certificates i would be able to get or should look into
Well I’d assume they still cost money but some boot camps don’t make u pay until u actually lane a job and as opposed to how much you’ll pay at a university it’s way cheaper.
did u get a job?
Mate, you can't just drop this "There are other ways to get certificates" and not tell us.
Finally a channel that understands bootcamps are good

What are your thoughts on the UCLA cybersecurity boot camp ?
Great video! Good information and all sourced. Much appreciated
What do you think about bootcamps like the ones at Rutgers and Georgia Tech? Can you do a vid on those types of bootcamps?

Do you know a work study program that I can apply for that will pay for my cyber security bootcamp or certificate ?
Hi Sandra! Have you ever heard of Bethel Tech as a bootcamp?
Sanda, how do you feel about a SDET bootcamp or sales tech bootcamp??
Is a cyber security degree good to get into pen testing?
It can be helpful but it's unnecessary. Any technical degree (Computer Science, Information Systems, etc.) would be fine.
Agreed, a CompSci degree could be just as good if you get experience hacking yourself, which is mostly free online including sites like Tryhackme/Hackthebox and most tools are free to use or have a community edition - nmap, burpsuite, wireshark, etc. Good luck with your decision!
Great video! Would you happen to have any knowledge/opinion about codingnomads?
Thanks Steven! I'm not familiar with them but I'd make sure to ask/check for actual alumni who found jobs after graduating from codingnomads and the companies they got into/salaries they started at. This will tell you everything you need to know for how good the bootcamp is, good luck!
Ima get my bachelors degree in cyber security but i need one bootcamp experience one is 2,500 and another that cost 5k should i just do the cheaper one so i can get my bachelors done quick?
