CAPSLOCK Anmeldelser 

The training matrix was robust and covered a wide range of Cyber security modules. It encompassed a series of theoretical sessions as well as practical based live projects. The trainers had a wealth of experience in their various fields and were passionate in the delivery of the courses. There was adequate support for students during the course and beyond the course. This ensured networking amongst students and also provided opportunities to reach out to potential employers. I would highly recommend the course.

Wonderful company, wonderful course, great wonderful people.

Staff were awesome. Course is done in such a way you can build your cv around the tasks completed in class, meaning it counts as experience. I was part-time and bagged a job in Vulnerability Management 2 months before the course ended. All thanks to the wonderful CAPSLOCK team. Could not have got to where I am without them. Best investment ever and can’t recommend CAPSLOCK highly enough!

This is the best immersion training available for those looking to learn cyber security and secure their first cyber role. The delivery of the content, the mentorship, the career guidance & support, the quality of instruction, and the culture are all outstanding! Not only that but you get the most certifications of all the bootcamps in the UK too. I cannot recommend this course enough!! It's been a few months since leaving the course and being in my role as a cyber engineer and it's still a great feeling being in touch with cohort members and staff. You will potentially find friends for life too with the emotions you will go through being immersed in the exercises and learning. Thank you all. A proud alum.

I recently completed CAPSLOCK's cybersecurity bootcamp, and I'm thoroughly impressed! As a top student in the program, I found their beginner-friendly approach not only enhanced my technical skills but also bolstered my career readiness. This awesome bootcamp and team are an excellent choice for anyone committed to hard work, thinking, and launching a cybersecurity career quickly.

The curriculum allowed me to earn 5 industry-recognized certifications in just 16 weeks, focusing on practical skills like penetration testing and vulnerability assessment.

CAPSLOCK's commitment to building a strong foundation in both transferable and technical skills is truly conducive to cultivating a successful career in cybersecurity.

Hearing from fellow graduates who have successfully navigated the field further motivated me, confirming the value of these certifications.

I believe incorporating cybersecurity training for aerospace assets such as drones and satellites into the program would significantly enhance its relevance and provide even greater benefits to students.

Capslock, instructors are very knowledgeable and patient, the exams are not easy to pass, you have to get 70 % correct, but the mini exams only have 5-6 questions so this means you have to get at least 4/5 to pass that exam, but the course final grade is through the grades achieved in the exams, course work and attendance, so even if you don't pass some units you can still pass the course. there is a lot of self-learning to do as well through assignments in your teams. Capslock does lack a bit on actual practical training, and you do your skills Labs in teams, instructors do come around and help you if you are struggling with the skill labs, although sometimes you might have to wait for about 10 minutes since there are normally only two tutors and they could be helping other teams out. The careers team is good at reviewing CVs although your initial CV is done by you then peer-reviewed and then reviewed by Capslock Careers team and graded, the Careers team also gives you homework, to improve your LinkedIn profile. The Careers team posts jobs but you are not guaranteed an interview with the companies Capslock are linked to, although just after my cohort this has now changed with BAE offering an interview for all current Capslock Students. Capslock does offer the opportunity to take extra exams/ qualifications, which are CISMP, ISO27001,CCSK which you get two attempts to pass, and the Comp Tia Security+ exam they will only pay for the first attempt to pass. Capslock also does have Mental Health Support and you have access to a careers coach as well, which when you have passed the course you are allowed up to three coaching sessions with them, and the careers team still keep in contact with you after passing the course.

I graduated from CAPSLOCK in May 2023, and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The curriculum was really comprehensive, covering everything from technical concepts, to security policies and governance, risk and compliance.

The instructors were highly knowledgeable and supportive, always willing to clarify doubts and provide extra assistance when I needed it.

Working in groups I got experience with hands-on labs and real-world simulations that have been very valuable in my career, which is now in cyber.

There was also a huge amount of career support, helping prepare me for job applications and interviews as well as access to some mentors already working in the industry.

I had to put the work in, it isn’t a walk in park but I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to kickstart a career in cyber security.

I spent 6 months on the Capslock programme part time. An experience I would happily complete again. Learning new aspects of security most nights, having new scenarios presented, time to research and feedback our findings to a larger group.

Taught skills that are often missing in grads, public speaking, research skills, analytical thinking under pressure, being part of a an online team.

My company has now employed several colleagues from Capslock based on our success.

Don't think for a moment this is easy, it's not. You will learn how to be resilient and push on, how to take others views into account and produce work that is a consensus of all opinions.

Capslock can tweak the curriculum quickly dependant upon industry needs.

I wish I knew of them before going to University! Capslock, thank you for all you have done for all of us alumni!

If you are thinking of signing up, don't delay, your future awaits.

Changed my life.

Went from knowing zero to knowing enough to get a job. Incredible dedicated team.

I started CAPSLOCK on the 27th of November through to the 28th of March, the team based learning was great, it really got the discussions flowing between the team and the wider cohort.

The course isn't just about learning Cyber Security though...It's so much more than that, there's weekly mentoring and dedicated career sessions (and a careers team!) that help you get ready to start interviewing for the industry and get your CV up to scratch, before the course, I had a generic white paged CV with all of the information, wasn't pretty but it did the job, once we started working on the CV, I finally had one that I was proud of that stood out from the crowd, and even had comments during a recent interview on the aesthetics of it, it wasn't something they'd seen on a CV before.

I've also made some friends for life throughout the course that I've bonded with and got to know on a more personal level, rather than just people you learn with for 16 weeks and never interact with again.

The style of learning, Team based, really worked for me, it got me thinking, discussing, but also focusing on peoples presentations from other teams as it gives you the chance to start learning parts of tasks that you may not have been focusing on in your own group and the presenting in front of a large group of people really helps build your confidence with speaking in front of an audience.

The application process isn't good. I haven't been on the bootcamp but there's a lot of messing candidates about. Was told I would be moved to the next stage and that I would receive more information the same day. 3 days later, I received an email saying that they were still processing applications and no one got back in touch about the next stage. Thankfully I applied to other bootcamps and enrolled on another bootcamp Friday. Do not waste your time it seems like they're doing castings for their bootcamp.

This training provider has very little in-house education material, and instead promotes the benefits of team-based learning, i.e., going into a breakout room with similarly bewildered peers to work it out by yourself.

The COO is unstable and loudly defensive over the teaching methods, and writes the most horrendous things in the group chat. Their rants posted on LinkedIn make CAPSLOCK embarrassing to be associated with and discredit the organisation.

The material you are tested on is riddled with inaccuracies, and the poor CAPSLOCK lecturers (almost exclusively recent alumni) struggle to justify the flawed answers they themselves acknowledge to be wrong. Some inaccuracies are explained as being based on past-papers, to prepare you for equally inaccurate external certificate questions. Others are a fault at CAPSLOCK's end, with students encouraged to appeal inaccuracies with supporting evidence, but with CAPSLOCK seemingly disinterested in addressing the results.

And why would they be? With the course fees set at £9,500 - and with 57 students joining the most recent cohort - and if the government funding represents full price per student - CAPSLOCK are up £500,000+ for delivering this 16-week full-time course.

Do the results represent good value to the taxpayer? I cannot say, but from my experience as a student, I do think it is worth investigating.

Capslock does exactly what it says on the tin, (and more). The P/T course was intense but enjoyable, (I often found myself to be more energised at 9pm than when I got home from work at 6pm). As with most education, you get out of it what you put in, but all the support and encouragement you need is available from the tutors and support staff, (as well as some great advice on getting a job after the course). Overall I have very fond memories of this experience, - it has helped me to change my life, and I would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of a career in Cybersecurity.

CAPSLOCK manage to pack a real breadth of Cyber Security knowledge into an intensive course while putting a firm emphasis on teamwork throughout. Support is excellent whether you need careers assistance, technical help or have mental health concerns. I cannot recommend CAPSLOCK enough - thoroughly brilliant people!

My experience at CAPSLOCK has been nothing short of remarkable. I was told to trust the process on the very first day, I’m glad I did because it paid off. CAPSLOCK gives you all you need to begin a career in Cyber Security and it works because I got a job in cybersecurity before finishing at CAPSLOCK. I can’t say enough about their tutors and support staff who are very awesome.

The CapsLock course proved to be an outstanding experience! It not only enriched me with valuable knowledge but also empowered me to seamlessly apply the acquired information in real-world situations. I am truly grateful for the positive impact it has had on my skills and capabilities and employability.

I recently completed a part time cybersecurity bootcamp with capslock.
I recently completed the transition from beimg an adult Nurse into cybersecurity. This was possible because of Capslock, From pre-course to completion of my course and my recent new role, the team/tutors were amazing and inspiring and helped me progress and become a confident and competent cybersecurity professional.

Following the course end my tutors and careers team continue to offer support and advice to myself and others from the course.
They are a passionate and knowledgeable team and I would recommend capslock to anyone who is looking to change career or is wanting a new career path within cybersecurity.

Well done Capslock keep being yourselves!

This course has been a life changer. Anyone considering taking the course should throw away any doubts they have about it. The way they go about teaching you is not purely to pass the certifications, you actually learn how to solve real-world problems, which is invaluable for entering the industry - it's all well and good to have certifications and a theoretical understanding of what to do in certain situations, but to have experienced it, and have a practical understanding of what to do is a world apart.
The entire team at CAPSLOCK are amazingly supportive and I couldn't have asked for anything more from them.

I was part of the second, full time cohort, and I couldn't recommend this high enough!

The course itself was 16 weeks, 5 hours a day, Monday to Friday. There is also a part time option for people who work through the day, lasting 26 weeks. The team learning was invaluable, as hearing other people's opinions can help understand concepts I was surely struggling with, I dont think I would have passed if left on my own!
The support offered in my job search was very good, the careers coach would have weekly catch-ups, helped me write my CV, and also gave me mock interviews.
The subjects looked at a wide range of domains in the cyber industry, with guest speakers who specialise in the relevant weeks topics. We also had weekly meetings with a mentor who worked in the industry.
In around 20 weeks, I went from having zero experience in this industry (I worked in a mma gym!) To landing my first role as a SOC analyst, which I have held for less than 2 years, and I am about to move to the incident response team, not bad for someone who used to cuddle for a living!

The support still offered is also very good, with weekly catch-ups, as well as access to other learners, both past and present.

The certs offered were valuable to my employer when I applied, but what they were most interested in was the hands-on approach to learning that Capslock offered. We now have 6 people from Capslock on the team!

I recently had the incredible opportunity to embark on a life-changing journey with the Capslocks Cybersecurity Bootcamp, and I can't express enough how transformative this experience has been for me. As a recent former teacher with no prior cybersecurity background, I can confidently say that Capslocks has not only equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary for a successful career in cybersecurity but has also instilled a newfound confidence in my abilities.

One of the standout features of Capslocks Cybersecurity Bootcamp is the emphasis on team-based training. From day one, I was immersed in a collaborative and dynamic learning environment where I had the privilege of working closely with a diverse group of individuals from various backgrounds. This team-based approach not only allowed me to learn from my peers but also provided a real-world simulation of the teamwork required in the field of cybersecurity.

Another key factor that sets Capslocks apart is its exceptional mentorship program. Throughout the bootcamp, I had access to experienced mentors who were always ready to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer valuable insights into the cybersecurity industry. Their expertise and willingness to share their knowledge were instrumental in helping me navigate the complex world of cybersecurity. I was supported by my Mentor during all stages of the interview for my present job in Cyber Security.

I can see that a number of people have complained about the cost of the training. My take on this issue is that the knowledge and skills one gains from this course are invaluable and can significantly enhance one's career prospects. However, the cost associated with this course can be a substantial financial commitment, and potential students should weigh their options thoughtfully. I have no regrets about the cost because I now have a cybersecurity job and have begun paying back the loan.

If you are transitioning from any career, I wholeheartedly recommend the Capslocks Cybersecurity Bootcamp. Thanks to this program, I have stepped into the exciting world of cybersecurity with the confidence and skills needed to thrive.
