GBTotally 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!
