Cybersecurity

Robert Terrell took the Cybersecurity course at Per Scholas Newark, which helped prepare him to obtain his CompTIA CySA+ certification.

Before attending Per Scholas, Robert was a production assistant, working on TV shows. His work suffered due to the writer’s strike and, after hearing about the high-quality, cost-free tech training that Per Scholas offered, he made the bold decision to pursue a new career in tech.

Robert described his experience in the course as “amazing,” due to his knowledgeable instructors, close-knit cohort, and more. “I really enjoyed it…I would honestly take the course again if I could,” he reflected.

Robert believes that the combination of intense and focused technical training, as well as well-rounded professional development courses, holistically prepares Per Scholas graduates to be excellent tech employees, straight from the get-go. “If you hire someone from Per Scholas, not only will you be getting someone that is technically good at everything they do, they are also going to know how to carry themselves professionally,” Robert said.
