What Our Students Say.

For more than 25 years, Training Camp has run accelerated IT and cybersecurity boot camps that pair instructor-led training with the certification exam at the end of the week. As of 2026, students from the DoD, defense contractors, and the private sector continue to rate the experience for its expert instructors, hands-on labs, and exam-ready outcomes.

A few things come up again and again in these reviews. Students name their instructors — Eric Beasley, Ross Everett, Barb Johnson, and Brian D'Andrea all earn repeat mentions for teaching style and real-world depth. Veterans point to how Training Camp handles GI Bill paperwork and walks them through the VA process. Many highlight the all-in-one format, where the course, materials, hotel, and exam are organized together so the week stays focused on getting certified. And when an exam doesn't go their way the first time, students describe a team that stays in contact and works with them until they pass.
