Graduate Stories
They started where you are.
Stay-at-home parents. Restaurant workers. Military veterans. Immigrants. They all had zero tech experience. Here's what happened next.
Tifa
Stay-at-home mom
Test Automation Engineer
“My daughter started asking where the money comes from. Now she sees her mom working in tech.”
Yvette
2 AM shifts, no work-life balance
Cybersecurity Analyst
“Everyone had their doubts. A friend called it a scam. I proved them wrong through hard work. Now I protect data from home with a cup of coffee.”
Lilia
Delivery driver
QA Engineer
“From delivering packages to writing test automation. I didn’t think this was possible for someone like me.”
Tariq
Personal trainer
Automation Engineer
“As a trainer, I could only count reps. Now I build test frameworks. It showed me how much potential I really have within myself.”
Husna
Babysitter & odd jobs
QA Engineer
“When I saw my first paycheck, I couldn’t believe it. Nobody in my family thought seven months could change everything. It did.”
Bradly
Military veteran
Software Quality Assurance
“The discipline from the military helped, but CYDEO gave me the skills. Completely changed my life.”
Omar
Restaurant manager
SDET
“I was tired of standing. Eight months of study taught me what four years of college couldn’t. Three raises in my first year without even asking.”
Miriam
Nail tech & cab driver
Automation Engineer
“I used to drive passengers to the buildings where I work now. I wasn’t smart, but I had desire. Now I’m making six figures and never missing my daughter’s life.”
Where our graduates work
The Difference
Only at CYDEO
Get Your Security+ Certification
A driver’s license doesn’t make you a Formula 1 racer. Security+ doesn’t make you a cybersecurity analyst. It’s the baseline — the fundamentals, the terminology, the traffic rules of cybersecurity. You need it. Every employer expects it. We get you through it first. Your $425 CompTIA Security+ exam voucher is included in your tuition.
Learn by Doing — Not by Watching
Can you become a basketball player by passing a multiple-choice exam? Of course not. Cybersecurity works the same way. Range Force gives you a secure environment with 300+ hands-on modules where you practice real cyber skills — not memorize slides. You’ll learn more by doing in these labs than four years of classroom lectures.
Security Operations Center — A Real Cyber Battlefield
A soldier certification doesn’t turn you into a Navy SEAL. A Security+ certification won’t make you a cybersecurity analyst. CYDEO’s Security Operations Center is an enterprise-level SOC with enterprise-level tools. Cyber incidents come in all day, from all around the world. You work real SOC shifts with a SOC lead. You do exactly what you’d do on day one of a SOC analyst job.
Job Hunting & Continued Education
Most bootcamps promise you’ll land a job overnight. That’s not honest — and you already know it. This is a marathon, not a sprint. After SOC training, you’ll be ready to go to market. But the world doesn’t stop evolving, and neither should you. We provide career coaching, interview prep, resume support, and continued education — until you find a job. Period. No expiration date. No unrealistic promises. Just real support for as long as it takes.
Curriculum
What You'll Learn
4 phases. 23 weeks. From zero experience to certified, SOC-trained, and job-ready.
CompTIA Security+ Certification
You start by earning the #1 entry-level cybersecurity certification. Live sessions every Sunday. Wednesday mentor office hours. A full review week with mock exams and a self-study sprint before the real exam.
Your $425 exam voucher is included. Students who prepare with structured programs pass at up to 93%.
Hands-On Cyber Labs
RangeForce gives you a secure environment with 300+ hands-on modules where you practice real cyber skills. Weekly live review sessions every Sunday. This is where theory becomes muscle memory.
You’ll learn more by doing in these labs than four years of classroom lectures.
Security Operations Center Training
An enterprise-level SOC with enterprise-level tools. Cyber incidents come in all day, from all around the world. You work real SOC shifts with a SOC lead — exactly what you’d do on day one of a SOC analyst job.
CS and SOC students work together on real incidents. This is the closest thing to on-the-job experience before you have the job.
Market Prep & Career Launch
Runs in parallel with SOC training and continues until you’re hired — so you’re job-hunting with momentum, not starting from scratch after graduation. No expiration date.
We don’t disappear after graduation. Career support continues until you’re hired — period.
Certified by week 9. SOC-trained by week 23. Job-hunting from week 20.
Everything above is included in your tuition. No hidden costs. No extra fees.
