”
I thought I knew a lot about IT. I'm embarrassed to say that after completing all three of Crimson Academy's Level I courses, that I was barely a beginner. Now, I feel so much more confident that I can compete in the job market with my newfound skills.

”
I dropped out of college as a psychology major over a decade ago for financial reasons. I worked at a local supermarket for the next three years, eventually becoming the store manager. After a couple more years, I realized that my growth was limited and decided to try my hand at cybersecurity. I have tried dozens of programs and spent much more money than I care to disclose.  In less than a month, I've learned (and retained) more at Crimson Academy than I have in the last two years of trying other programs. oh... and it didn't break the bank.

I know the lead-instructor from a Pen-Testing job that his company did for my office. They did such a great job that I decided to enroll my son in Crimson Academy. My son just completed his Net+ and Sec+, and is working on CISSP all from two months of working on Crimson Academy's curriculum. Believe me when I say that whatever they touch turns to gold.
