Jay was awesome sauce and then some, he made sure you understood why a topic helps with security +. I would definitely take another class with Jay and the company, trust the process and you’ll succeed. Thank You Jay!!!!

J Chaney is highly knowledgeable and explains course material in a very comprehensive way. It is a lot of material for a one week course, but I felt that I was able to retain a good portion. Taking the Security + boot camp has me ready to tackle the test. ****Update**** I passed my test because of this boot camp on the first try. Well worth the time and money.

This school is hands down the BEST IT school I have attended for SEC+. I have attended SEC+ twice at Fort Gordon and the information that is taught there was so outdated. I appreciate Applied Technology Academy so much! I actually enjoyed the instruction, it was not hard to follow, and the instructor, Mr. Chaney, was extremely knowledgeable. He was able to communicate to the lowest level from Beginner to advanced. Our class had 100% pass rate of who took the exam after the course was over. After the exam I was able to contact the instructor and Ms. Liz Pernaselci for more information. I was provided with the audio from the course to go over in the event I needed to brush up. We are also allowed to log in to any SEC+ Course afterwards without paying an additional fee. I really appreciate this school and will be attending more courses in the future!

I am currently overseas for business and even this far away the help I received from Kim Locke was fantastic. We were able to reach a quick and precise conclusion from my goal, all online with no confusion. Thank you again. I will be suggesting this Academy for anyone pursuing goals relative to mine.

I can't say enough good things about Applied Technology Academy. I require CompTia Security+ for my current job and this is the place that I went through to get it. Kim Locke was my initial contact that scheduled my class and J Chaney was my instructor and both are complete professionals. The quality of the class was unbelievable and totally prepared me for my S+ exam. I was very nervous about taking the exam but about half way through it I realized that J had nearly over prepared the class for success which is definitely the position that you want to be in. Overall, this is a top notch operation and I highly recommend them.

I had 0 computer knowledge or background going into the Security + class. J made it understandable and easily digestible. The classes were thorough and the study material was exactly what was needed to help prepare for the test. Cannot recommend this enough for people trying to get into the security field.

So, I have used ATA for several bootcamps and they have all been great. All the instructors I have had have been excellent. The staff is helpful and responsive. I have asked if a class could record sessions for me and they have reached out to the professor to get that done. I can't wait for their new AWS offerings.
