Forward Edge Cyber1000
Hear what our students had to say
To be honest, it felt like I won a jackpot the day I discovered the Forward Egde Consulting team on Instagram. Having a group of professionals that genuinely care and want you to become a replica of themselves is all that you need to become successful in this relatively new field of cybersecurity
I will give it a 10 out of 10 😌💪 it's so organized and there is no rush in teaching us. Instructors make sure we are on the same page and if we get confused, we can always go back to the recordings and also the people in the bootcamp are always willing to help. The curriculum gives a detailed understanding of every section and they try their best to align it to cybersecurity goals.
The boot camp's emphasis on hands-on training is particularly impressive, providing practical exercises that simulates real-world scenarios. This approach not only reinforced theoretical knowledge but also built my confidence in handling actual cybersecurity challenges.
I'm currently participating in the Forward Edge Consulting Ltd Cybersecurity Bootcamp 2.0, and the experience has been incredible so far. The hands-on training with tools like Kali Linux, Metasploitable, and many other CyberSecurity tools are highly practical, relevant and interesting to experience. The techniques we're learning are directly applicable to the industry.
The lectures are very valuable, it’s very informative and enlightening. The tutors are great too, they take their time to explain in details for better understanding. I thought cybersecurity was undoable lol, because I saw it as something hard but look at me sailing through because of the great facilitators teaching us.
Your cybersecurity career starts here.
5 weeks of live training + optional self-paced career tracks. Whether through direct enrollment or via the Forward Edge Cyber1000 scholarship, Bootcamp 5.0 is your pathway into cyber.
