CAPSLOCK Recenzje 

The staff are professional.

There are cheaper alternatives, save your money. The course gives an insight into the different cyber security roles and the assignments for the modules, set some expectation on potential tasks one may do in a role.

The problem is getting a role. It unrealistic to expect to walk into a role with no experience and just a portfolio. Most people who have completed the course have not found roles. The job market, demands experience not certifications with no experience.

We were given the impression there will be the possibility of internships, didnt happen.

The career section with CAPSLOCK has now been made redundant. It's great to have mentors on the course but one needs to get the interviews, which hasn't been possible.

Yes it is possible to get a job after the course and in my cohort, less than half have achieved this (2 out of 13/15) after 6 mths.

Also, it depends on salary expectation, this course equips one for entry roles, many entry in cyber roles are asking for experience!

For the cost, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

Save your money and just study for certifications yourself.

Don’t get me wrong, the tutors are great, they have great people skills, but the curriculum is just not good enough. I completed the course in October 2024. It’s all 5 minutes of teaching, and then 2 hours of endless Googling for the answers to put into a presentation with no direction and a few labs.

And I’ve left it this long to leave a review - I wanted to ‘trust the process’, give it a chance to get into cybersecurity, but nope nothing - applied for around 200 plus jobs. Rejection on every one, I think it’s down to that initial sift and having CAPSLOCK in the CV.

Did everything required to pass the course, did extra study outside of class, followed their CV structuring to pinpoint precision, but there is no weight behind the ‘CeCSP’ on a CV. I’ve taken it out of my CV, not mentioned CAPSLOCK at all and I get more recruiters calling me.

I really do think there are ‘planted people’ on the course, I see on LinkedIn these amazing reviews of what people studied on the session, and I think ‘when did that happen then? I don’t remember any of that??’

I wish I took up their offer of a refund when they offered it, albeit it was like half. I don’t think I’d be able to claim it back now after all this time.

Anyway, just my experience and I know I’m not the only one. Maybe it’s because I have some experience in cyber and networking and attending other online courses which taught me lot more. I just thought CAPSLOCK might help me into a cybersecurity profession as that’s how the course is sold.

The team based learning was great. It was fun and engaging working with my team mates. The company learning structure is well organized as they not only deliver though team based learning they also have options for self reflections and individual exams where we also get the opportunity to go through as a team which reflects how others are approving certains problems and solving them.

I completed the 6 month part time Cohort and it was an eye opener for sure but interesting!. The course is challenging as it covers the whole Cyber landscape area in terms of the different roles but also gives you a realistic view of what pressure could look like in a real-life works environment. The more you put in and work on extra things in your spare time, the more you will get out of this course. All the CAPSLOCK tutors were very helpful and supporting throughout with the whole experience being very memorable as I eagerly look forward to pursuing a career in Cyber security.

Great tutors, great teaching methods, I learnt so much and I didn't even realise what I knew until I knew it! The course is very intense but its so worth it!

I did get a job through CAPSLOCK’s connections, and I genuinely enjoy the GRC role I’m in now, so I can’t deny there was a positive outcome. But I left the course with serious misgivings, and I think it’s important to share them.

One of the big draws for me was the emphasis on certifications. In hindsight, I accept that I should have done more due diligence on their true industry weight. That said, the way they were presented was, in my view, misleading. The advertised certs are very much at the entry level, and now that I’m in the industry I’ve been told point blank how little they count for. They were made to sound like stepping stones with real heft, but the reality is different.

The course itself covered a lot of ground but often without much depth. “Width of an ocean and depth of a puddle” sums it up. We did plenty of labs, but those highlighted the limitations of the teaching staff. Penetration testing was the worst example: when we got stuck, the guidance was often little more than “try adding -sudo,” and if that didn’t work, that was the end of it. The tutors were supportive and approachable, but many were alumni themselves without the technical experience to guide us properly. They also promoted a “team-based learning” model. This had its benefits, but it only went so far; the quality of your learning was capped by your team’s expertise and the tutors’ own limitations.

Privately, I didn’t meet a single member of my cohort who felt fully satisfied by the end. Some were resigned to the fact they’d at least found jobs; others were bitterly disappointed. The public positivity didn’t match the private conversations, and I think the strong “family” culture CAPSLOCK pushes makes people reluctant to speak up. The career coaching reflected that same mix: the mental coaching was excellent, but other advice—like putting target roles onto CVs as if you already held them—struck me as misleading, even if the intent was just to bypass ATS filters.

Then there’s the cost. Around £9,500 upfront, or much more on an income-share agreement, feels far too high. Especially when so much of the real learning had to be done independently anyway. For that money, there are many other ways to build a stronger, more respected foundation.

One final observation: their domain is registered in the Ascension Islands and uses “.ac,” which at first glance looks academic but isn’t tied to academia. Make of that what you will.

In the end, I did land in a job I enjoy, and for that I’m grateful. But the lack of technical depth, the questionable marketing around certifications, and the overreliance on team-based learning left me feeling it wasn’t worth the cost. CAPSLOCK may open doors, but don’t be swayed too quickly by the statistics they’ll present. Looking at the LinkedIns of many from my cohort, the outcomes tell a more mixed story than the marketing suggests.

I've been experiencing a lot of troubles with tuition fee financing. Sophie came to the rescue; she is competent and informed about how to handle the situation. She made an extra effort to resolve any concerns that the students had with their application. She is passionate about what she does and really polite, which I admire. She is a lifesaver and a true credit to CAPSLOCK. She deserves a pay rise. Thank you so much, Sophie, for being there when we needed you the most. Cheers"

What happened to me whilst studying at this provider will stay with me forever, but I will use it in my quest to ensure these businesses do better. Despite my disclosure of a disability at the start of the course, I was reminded of the persistent, systemic failure to treat people with disabilities with basic dignity and respect. Was that really too much to ask?

There were several members of the training team, I was gaslighted, belittled, ignored, made to feel invisible and unworthy, and my needs were dismissed as if they simply didn’t matter. The trauma I experienced silenced me for a long time to the point I even gaslighted myself. Was I the problem? No, Angela, you were NOT. They were. I was laying in my hospital bed with stroke symptoms and still determined to attend class, I did! I will no longer be silenced!

Those living with disabilities, who are neurodivergent, and anyone facing mental health challenges deserve more than lip serviced promises of “inclusion” yes, that old chestnut. We deserve to be listened to, believed, and treated as equals. Too often, organisations are quick to congratulate themselves on “diversity” while failing, and I was certainly failed by this training company, and I thoroughly enjoyed the cybersecurity domain as well.

Creating environments where everyone can succeed should have been their mantra. Instead, they withdrew me from the course, brushed me under the carpet, and ceased communication.

NEVER AGAIN....

*There was a Sikh lady, absolutely lovely a tutor and ex lecturer I believe. She absolutely was not involved in this behaviour, in fact she had a lot of empathy and understanding.

JUST DO THE COURSE!!!! you wont forget it honestly

Just want to thanks Nataliya for providing an impeccable service! She is very professional as well as passionate in what she does. She very Polite which I love most and never stop run out of idea's to sort things out. She very knowledgeable and very reassuring which make me feel comfortable in having this course. She is a true credit to CAPSLOCK. She deserve a pay rise. Cheers Nataliya.

Sincerely,

As a transwoman, I felt this course was perfect for me. They ensure people who will be with you are capable of accepting others no matter their skin colour, religion and gender. I felt safe since the 1st day of class. I was teamed up with amazing people. I understand now the world of cyber security like never before. This course catapulted me towards my truth calling. From business to technical capacity, CAPSLOCK successfully made me aware of all the things underlying the world of digital data.

Great experience and supportive community!

All the tutors are hands on with helping you progress. I was offered a job as soon as I finished my course, unfortunately, I could not accept as I was traveling. The support afterwards is continuous which makes course unique. As they don’t just drop you afterwards like most courses. They help set you up for success

This course provides everything you need to get started in cyber security. It’s felt more like a community. We have learnt so much and there’s tonnes of support available. I went through some challenging times but the tutors helped me stay on top of my learning. Provided excellent wellbeing support, careers support, were always available to answer questions. I couldn’t recommend this course enough and I’m grateful to have started my cyber journey with CAPSLOCK

An amazing journey filled with ups and downs! No matter what, this course WILL get you job ready. The tutors are very knowledgeable and ready to answer any question you throw at them, and there is also lots of support available and the team does take into account any concerns you’re having along the way. If you’re interested into breaking into cyber this is definitely something you should look to get into.

The course is structured exceptionally well, offering immediate support that encompasses mental health resources and career transition advice. The team consistently goes above and beyond, providing assistance even after course completion. They are always just a message away, offering ongoing guidance and support to alumni. Continuous help with networking and job-hunting further demonstrates their commitment, driven by the dedicated efforts of the career teams. The tutors, founders, and administrative staff are truly outstanding. Well done, CAPSLOCK!

Comprehensive, fun, and lots of support offered alongside the content of the course. Nothing quite like it, even better than most academic courses.
From the tutors' professionalism and knowledge, careers team insights assistance and weekly information sessions with guests, industry mentoring, coaching and wellbeing, structure and depth of the course, the commentary and periodic drop-ins by the founders, I CANNOT recommend CAPSLOCK highly enough!
Very pleased to have studied with, and graduated from, the Ce-CSP with CAPSLOCK. I now feel more informed and confident in qualifying and hunting for my desired career path development.

Great bootcamp experience with helpful mentors, tutors, careers advisors to help you on your journey!

CAPSLOCK made it possible for me to start a career in cybersecurity. It was an amazing experience. The support they give is incredible, and it continues even after the course has finished. Attending CAPSLOCK is not a guarantee that you will find a job in cybersecurity -- you will still need to put in the work. But it gives a fantastic foundation for starting a new career in a fast-paced and exciting field.

Being a relative newcomer to cyber security, the Capslock boot camp has given a broad knowledge, meaning I can now go on and strengthen my learning. The course was very informative, the lecturers were fantastic and very helpful.
