Over 120 Testimonials !

We’ve given an update to the testimonials page with all the various snippets we see coming into our social media and community. There’s over 120 statements here expressing how well our training is received by the community. From students getting placement, to upskilling, to being impressed with the content compared to other training they’ve experienced before.

Next goal - getting it over 9000.

To that end - thank you all who continue to be a part of and support what we’re doing here. The best way we can say thank you back is just more quality content and that is exactly that we intend to do!

CDA Price Increase Extension

Looking back at all the testimonials above, we’ve decided to celebrate a little more and extend another month until April 31st for the price increase. That means it will remain at $499 vs the $799 rate later.

Oh, and the CDA Pages got a bit of a facelift, too! Check them out! 👇

Training Roadmap and Site Refresh

We’ve also gone ahead and gave a clean up and consolidation of text to various pages as well as added various course-specific testimonials to the pages. The training roadmap has also been completely overhauled. It’s direct, clear, concise, in dark mode, and shows you exactly how to get from the basics of IT to Tier 2+ SOC and Engineering:
