Student Reviews
Testimonials build trust — fast. See what our past students have to say about Crimson Academy.
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.
Help Desk Technician Las Vegas, NV
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.

Finally, I found a program to teach my kids about computers. I can hardly ever get them to be interested in homeschool, but the hands on learning in this program keeps them engaged. Now they impress all of their friends with their top-notch IT skills.

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.
