I like the flexibility of the program and the way the course is being delivered. Working two jobs gives me no much time to study but the way and manner through which this course is delivered, I'm able to study in transit and revise them over and over again for a better understanding.

My experience here at BC at this point…
My experience here at BC at this point has reassured me that this has been one of the best choices that I could have made for myself and my family. There is a lot of information for you to take in, but this program gives you the chance to slowly take it in and digest it. If you're still struggling, there is multiple different ways for you to ask for help or get a better understanding to what your struggle may be. This program is very unique, for instance if there is something that you get wrong on a test or quiz, it almost forces you to want to get the understanding right. Once I understood the reason behind why certain steps had to be taken for the requirements, then it made the big picture clearer. I advise any student of this program to just use your resources and you will be fine. Do exactly what's asked of you without skipping steps and you will be fine. Some people can follow directions and some people just don't. For those who don't will make excuses for why it didn't happen. I would recommend this course over and over again! Good Luck!

I'm absolutely thrilled to read your review! It warms my heart to know that choosing Baxter Academy has been a positive move for both you and your family.
You're right, there's a lot of information to take in - it's like drinking from a firehose sometimes! But we've designed the program to let you take a sip at a time, making sure you understand one concept before moving on to the next. And if you're still finding it tough, you've got a whole support system ready to help you out. Whether it's through one-on-one sessions, group discussions, or online resources, we're here to make sure you don't just memorize the info, but truly understand it. Your point about our quizzes and tests is spot on. We want them to be learning experiences, not just assessments. So when you get something wrong, it's an opportunity to dig deeper and really grasp the concept. The big picture does get clearer once you understand why certain steps are necessary, doesn't it? It's like putting together a jigsaw puzzle - each piece makes sense only when you see how it fits into the overall image.
Your advice to future students is golden. Using available resources, following instructions, not skipping steps - these are the keys to success in this program.
Thank you for recommending our course, Roshode. Wishing you continued success in your journey!

I am having a really good time in the program. I am learning a lot, but more importantly, I feel like I am really being groomed to become a professional in the real world. I am currently a senior and I feel like a lot of resources are given to make sure I succeed. The last star is just being held until I can get that 6-figure salary that I hear so much about.

What’s your Kaizen? Mine has been attending Baxter Clewis Training Academy gaining PCI DSS Mastery and the Authority Mindset to improve my tech career .. that’s Kaizen!
My life’s mantra has been Kaizen, there's always room for improvement. Whether it is for spiritual growth or a pivotal new Cybersecurity career. Every few years I get a new certification. Learning new things makes me feel good. I took an interest in Cybersecurity towards the end of 2023, and began taking an Intro to Cybersecurity Bootcamp, that’s when I first learned of PCI DSS. It was my first time experiencing online learning, and I honestly didn’t feel confident in the Cybersecurity Bootcamp, it encompassed a broad spectrum of several niches, and I had zero tech background so some of it felt incomprehensible.
I began looking up PCI DSS after learning about it in the Cybersecurity Bootcamp and found BCTA, specializing in PCI DSS. It resonated with me because I’ve been working for over a decade with regional government administration specializing in Compliance and Purchasing. I figured the PCI DSS Requirements to be similar in nature to the Regulatory Requirements I was used to monitoring for compliance. The methodology is practically the same! If it’s not in compliance, how long will it take to remediate to become in compliance?
As for BCTA program, it’s been a very good experience. On day one I was given a success advisor who has supported me throughout the first 12 weeks of the program. I have also been given a community of students at all levels of learning within the program. Which is a gem within itself to have such a wealth of resources at my fingertips. The community feels like family cheering each other on sharing our wins!
And to my surprise, Boyd comes on live zoom calls with us all for additional support and is not just teaching us the lessons on the modules. He shares his experiences, his insights, and how to do things that will help us to get hired, and how to do things when we get on the job. His coaching and mentoring skills set us up for success!
I feel it was a smart decision to have put the Cybersecurity Bootcamp on hold until I complete BCTA and land my first job in tech. One thing I wish, would be if there were a legacy membership to stay connected after completing the year of BCTA. I’ve found the community to be not just a wealth of knowledge, but also a tribe of like-mindedness all there for each other. I know I’d pay a membership fee to stay connected, and I suppose there are others who would do so as well that are in the program with me currently. Something to consider Boyd. Something to consider, just saying. Boyd, kudos on creating a learning platform specializing in a niche of Cybersecurity that is extremely important in today’s world shifting to a cashless society!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate your thoughtful review. Your story resonates with me on so many levels. The path to continuous learning and improvement, your mantra of Kaizen, mirrors my own journey. And it's heartening to see you apply this principle to both spiritual growth and your career in Cybersecurity.
I'm thrilled to hear that BCTA has been a great experience for you. We put a lot of thought into creating a supportive environment, and I'm glad that it feels like family to you. Our community is indeed our strength, and seeing everyone cheering each other on is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. As for the live zoom calls, they're honestly one of my favorite parts of the week. Sharing experiences and insights is just as valuable to me as it is to you all. It's always been important to me to not just teach the modules but also offer real-world advice that will help you all land jobs and excel once you're there.
Thank you again for your kind words and insightful suggestions. You've given me a lot to think about. And remember, this journey you're on, it's just getting started. Keep reaching for those stars!

Curently enrolled in the program
I want to begin by saying how grateful I am for this opportunity to change my life. The Baxter Clewis program is self-paced and designed to enhance skills focused on PCI DSS, which is more common than most people realize. The program allows access for up to a year. In this course, you get out of the program, whatever you put in. To give you an example, some people have been enrolled for 6 months and haven't got into the TDP portion. I have been in the program for about 3 months and have already completed my first deliverable; this all depends on your life and what you dedicate to this. Overall the program is great, there is a community of like-minded individuals for you to collaborate with as well as advisors to reach out to when your wheels are spinning.
I believe if you have a weak will and you rely on motivation to overcome adversity, this isn't for you; don't waste your time or money. However, if you are confident you will take advantage of your time, take advantage of your resources, ask questions, and not be afraid of failure, it's IMPOSSIBLE to fail. Excuses only sound good to the person that's making them.

I read your review with a sense of shared joy and understanding. Your gratefulness for the opportunity to transform your life echoes my own sentiments when I first embarked on a similar journey.
Your description of the Baxter Clewis program as self-paced, focused on enhancing skills in PCI DSS - an area more prevalent than most realize - struck a chord with me. To put it simply, it's like learning to ride a bike. You can take it slow, get your balance right, and then gradually pick up speed. And just like riding a bike, the more effort you put into the program, the farther you'll go. The sense of community you've highlighted is something I value highly. I've always believed that having like-minded individuals to collaborate with, and advisors to turn to when you're stuck, can make all the difference. It's like having a team cheering you on from the sidelines.
Your candid evaluation about the suitability of this program brings to mind a personal nugget of wisdom I picked up along the way: it's motivation that sparks the start, but it's the power of habit that fuels the journey. It's not about having a weak will, but rather about being willing to commit, to make use of resources, to ask questions, and to embrace failure as a stepping stone towards success. As you've wisely pointed out, excuses only sound good to the person making them.
Thank you for sharing your experience and insights. Your journey is inspiring and a testament to what can be achieved with dedication and the right mindset.

The program is excellently designed
The program is excellently designed, well-structured, and offers ample support with the flexibility for individual pacing. The community, consisting of both students and faculty, is characterized by respect and helpfulness, fostering a genuine teamwork environment. This program presents numerous benefits and has the potential to be a transformative force in your career if you remain committed. One suggestion for enhancement would be to incorporate practical, real-time projects after each module, providing active practice and hands-on experience before entering the workforce. In summary, the program is highly commendable.
