This will challenge the information you think you know, and the information yet to come. It is a challenging course, but in the best way possible. This will give you a baseline in everything Cybersecurity in order to set you up for a very successful career. It directly led to a promotion at my previous job in IT, and that led to what I'm doing now. In technical support, working from home, and making more money than I ever have. I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a change in their career. It does come with, what I would say, a heft price tag. But don't be fooled, that comes 100% justified in what this course teaches. Mike Geller is one of the best teachers I've ever had in my life, and the rest of the instructors were just as good. Nothing but good things to say about this course, and directly attribute my success to this course. - Ahmed AlgassidGraduate • Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp • OnlineSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After all this was brought to the attention of the directors of the program I was denied a refund despite clearly not getting what I was paying for nor what was advertised. This program does have a few good professors, but the experience, and the cost of $16,000 is not worth it, especially when no certification test are offered or included in the cost to go.NEXUS AT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ENGINEERING CYBERSECURITY PROFESSIONAL BOOTCAMP of Nexus at University of Michigan Engineering Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp by ThriveDX

I enjoyed everything in the Bootcamp, from attending classes to hands experience labs with the instructors who were bringing real life work experience and its challenges to the contents and materials and finally with the career coaches. - AnonymousGraduate • Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp • OnlineSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great
Course was awesome. All of the teachers were qualified to teach and were helpful when it came to questions about different fields of study. Prepares you for certifications once you complete the course. Books and study guides are all online which makes studying easy. Course was very organized and easy to follow. And not only do you learn, but you also get coaching on building your resume as well as interviews. - AnonymousApplicant • Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp • OnlineSep 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Could Be Better
My NEXUS UofM Cybersecurity bootcamp experience had its highs and lows. The curriculum impressed me, although I hoped for deeper exploration of subjects like Cloud. Instructors' effectiveness varied; some were captivating while others struggled. The cost was on the higher side, and the prohibition of financing options like those from private education lenders leaves you with limited options unless you have the cash on hand. Incorporating specialized certifications or discounted vouchers...My NEXUS UofM Cybersecurity bootcamp experience had its highs and lows. The curriculum impressed me, although I hoped for deeper exploration of subjects like Cloud. Instructors' effectiveness varied; some were captivating while others struggled. The cost was on the higher side, and the prohibition of financing options like those from private education lenders leaves you with limited options unless you have the cash on hand. Incorporating specialized certifications or discounted vouchers, such as those from CompTIA, would have enhanced the value. I believe WGU, for example, has better value as it integrates certifications into program curriculum. Despite the shortcomings, I gained valuable insights and skills. - AnonymousGraduate • Ann ArborAug 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Enjoyable experience. Covered a broad area of topics. Staff and career support/job assistance was awesome. Helped until I was employed. Only thing I didn't like is this price. $16,000 is steep for a lot of information you can learn online for free. Consider WGU! Bootcamp was fun! No regrets. - AnonymousInformation Security Analyst • Graduate • Cybersecurity Professional Bootcamp • OnlineAug 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome Bootcamp
This isn't an easy Bootcamp, but it is so worth it. I was hired in cyber security less than a month after completing it, and I had two job offers to choose from. I didn't have a technical background to start, but they taught me everything I needed to know to get a foot in the door
