Amazing Coaches and real world experience Level Up in Tech provided a truly hands-on experience in gaining applicable knowledge for real work problems. The coaches are amazing and help you every step of the way while also ensuring you have the space to figure things out on your own as well. I will say for interviews, I was over-prepped for anything that was thrown my way and the interview panels have been surprised I had the depth of knowledge I did after only 6 months. If you are thinking of changing careers, I can't recommend this program enough...and yes, I have landed a job in this field after 7 years in HR!!!

My journey with Level Up… I started my tech journey with Level Up in Tech with zero technical knowledge! I came in with an HR background, but had seen how the ecosystem at my current employer had shifted more towards data and technology. I was able to learn multiple coding languages and received certifications along the way. I am proud to say that I have transitioned within my company to a process manager role supporting card technology! This would have never been possible without the training and knowledge I received during the program! I was specifically told that my training and technical knowledge is what put me above the rest of the candidates! If you would have told me a year ago this was possible, I wouldn't believe it, but DEFINITELY is!

Lifechanging Impact The Instructors at Level Up in Tech are outstanding. I've had previously been trying to break into Tech for years unsuccesfully, trying different vocational/tech schools- I've never been a part of something so impactful such as Level Up in Tech's program. They provided me the skillset needed to succeed in my career in Cloud. When I say LUIT has changed my life- it's not a cliche' feel good story-it's real. I had a job offer towards by the end of the program and have been there for over a year. It wouldn't have happened without Level Up in Tech.

Totally Worth It!!!! As a person with no experience in tech (literally), the program did a great job taking you through the basics with Linux, building upon those skills with cloud engineering fundamentals and best practices, all the way to automation, containers and skills that I now use everyday on the job. A lot of people claim that the skills you get from LUIT you can easily do on your own from Udemy. As a former teacher who has self study-skills, I don't think I could've accomplished the same things without the guidance of the LUIT team or my colleagues in the program. I'd also say the number one thing that sets LUIT apart are the projects they give which later serves as a portfolio for interviews. It's one thing to have all the certs, but another to have 15+ projects showcasing your abilities. One other thing that makes LUIT unique is the career coaching at the end of the program. The coaches did a great job helping with tailoring resumes, proving job recommendations, and walking you through the whole career search process. I started the program in January and after the program signed a job offer by October. I highly recommend the program. It's even something I've been nagging my friends and family to do too!
