Completing a cybersecurity boot camp doesn’t mean a lot unless students go on to earn industry-recognized certifications, recruiters say
Kyle Kingery yearned for a change after four years of working for an organic-food company. Attracted by a cybersecurity-boot-camp ad from the University of Oregon, he decided to get on the cyber path through a $10,000 part-time course in 2020.
Many cybersecurity boot camps, often aimed at career changers, have sprung up in the past few years. Among roughly 170 such programs in the U.S., tuition ranges from free to $19,000, according to Course Report, a website that matches students with boot camps. Unlike industry-approved certificate programs that focus on a specific topic in the cyber field, boot camps usually cover a spectrum of concepts over a few months.
Nasdaq-listed 2U, based in Lanham, Md., runs more than 200 full- or part-time boot camps in eight disciplines, including cybersecurity, under more than 150 universities’ brand names. They include Columbia University, the University of Oregon and Northwestern University. Some recruiters and corporate security chiefs say completing a boot camp doesn’t mean a lot unless students go on to earn industry-recognized certifications from training organizations such as CompTIA or Isaca.
