Kable Academy

I went to their cybersecurity bootcamp right when I got out of high school. The course was amazing and the on site courses were really fun and hands on. Mr.Barnes is an amazing instructor and really understands how to assist you through learning something. The job placement program however, I'm a taller guy with a background in sports so Denis (the recruiter) put at a job with Aegis. I was excited to start my career in IT. Expect that on my first day at work there they told me that nothing I was going to do was anywhere close to IT. I tried it for a bit and due to my fear of heights and general dissatisfaction with the work I was doing I left and went to recouncil with Denis. Right before our online meeting I was told that the owner of the company would be joining us. So when I voiced my concerns and grievances with the fact that I spent a good amount of money to learn IT and now I wasn't even working in IT. I was told that I was being "extremely unprofessional" and that "I'm giving Kable Academy a really bad look right now" which made me feel very disrespected, to the point of tears. When I told both of them that I want to work in IT and I don't think my body can handle this work from injuries throughout my life I was told to essentially suck it up and get to work because they told me "your first job probably won't be in the field you want to work in" which left me dumbfounded, why did I even go here if finding IT work was going to be something I had to do myself. Eventually I left Aegis and cut ties with Denis to avoid being disrespected further and now I'm making more than I did at Aegis and I'm actually working in IT

Basically, if you're going to go here. Be ready to find work yourself because they care more about putting you in roles that'll make them money rather than putting you in actual IT work

I came into Kable Academy, not knowing anything about computers, let alone cyber security. This course took me 3 months to complete. I had the fortune of having a great instructor, who has been on the field for so long. He taught me, more than just what any article in cybersecurity. He taught me how to optimize my computer to work at the most optimal level. He taught me  how to do more set up a "simple network", he also taught us ways to make it secure. The labs we have gave us all a hands on experience. When I completed it, the career services helped me find a job, and when I entered the job force, I stuck out from the rest of new hires I was with. The skills I learned where more than I needed to just get started in IT. Eventually, after working at my first job out of Kable Academy, I was offered a job as a TA at Kable Academy. After working for a few years as a TA, I was promoted as an instructor and also the head of IT Support at the school. Choosing to go into this field, and going to Kable Academy, was honestly the best decision I have ever made. 

I came to this program to learn how to build and design websites for marketing purposes, and Kable Academy delivers. I was most impressed by the kindness of the staff and their willingness and drive to help every student and meet them where they are. Even though I did not want a programming/developer job (I was searching for marketing roles), they were more than willing to advise me and help me job search with enthusiasm. The atmosphere is very casual, laidback, and fun. The staff cares about their students and wants each to achieve. Though the program is new, they have good resources and connections and the teachers are knowledgable. I wish the best for this young, growing program.

Words can not express how much Kable has helped me jump-start my career in tech. I came from a completely different career path and Kable has led me every step of the way and has gone above and beyond to help me realize my passion for Tech. From Paige in admissions to Richard and Ben my instructors to Dennis in career services and everyone in between has been nothing short of amazing. This place truly cares about your growth and development and has given me a plethora of knowledge and tools to take into the field and has given me the confidence and techniques to actually find jobs. I cannot say enough good about this boot camp, and I am so glad I gave it the chance and followed through with the 12-week course. I would take it again in a heartbeat and wish I could stay in it longer. 

My experience at Kable Academy Web Development bootcamp was a great one. I come from a First Responder background with no coding experience, and I felt like I got solid instruction and resources to succeed. My instructor always went above and beyond to make sure I understood the curriculum, even stayed after class to answer any questions I had. What really drew me to this particular bootcamp was they have an Income Share Agreement (ISA) which most of the bootcamps in this area don't provide. The ISA was better for me to be able to really focus on the material instead of stressing about the high interest rate loans from Sallie Mae or Skills Fund (no offense to those companies). We were given multiple projects to put what we learned into action, which I loved because that's how I learn is to actually do it! Also, the projects were relevant to be able to showcase them on our portfolio to show companies what we are capable of. They provided job prep like mock interviews, resume assistance, and advice to be a great candidate for companies. Overall, I would definitely recommend this school if you want to set yourself up for success and learn to be a Web Developer.
