                                        learned in the program by answering simple and
                                        auto-graded quizzes. Easily go back to the
                                        lessons to brush up on concepts anytime you get
                                        an answer wrong.

  It’s a 45 minute one on one Zoom call with an Enrollment Advisor to identify where
  you are at and help you create a roadmap that guarantees success. During the session,
  Tuition cost

  Finance options Current incentives Program details; and Program eligibility will be
  discussed in more detail.

  ARE YOUR COURSES SELF-PACED?

  No. We firmly believe that self-paced programs are synonymous with procrastination. In
  a landscape that is characterized by fast-paced hands-off courses, we choose to put all
  hands-on deck.

  Our programs feature weekly interactions with live instructors, a robust Learning
  Management System, dedicated attention and high engagement to keep you pumped
  every step of the way!

  Frequently Asked Questions

  I DON’T HAVE A TECHNICAL BACKGROUND; HOW CAN I TELL IF THE
  PROGRAM IS RIGHT FOR ME?

  The good news is that our programs were designed with non-IT professionals in
  mind – You don’t need a technical background. Our approach considers the building
  blocks needed at every stage. We take you from 0 to job ready, ensuring that all of the
  prerequisite you could need–from IT infrastructure, networking fundamentals, to the
  core training – are included in the program and extending internship opportunities to
  bolster your experience.

  This program is for you if your end goal is to become a job-ready, industry certified
  professional.

  This program is for you if you are willing to put in the work to become a job-ready,
  industry certified professional.

  DO YOU NEED A COLLEGE DEGREE TO BE ADMITTED TO A
  PROGRAM?

  Absolutely not. In fact, the majority of our trainees have no college degree OR a
  background in IT. We’ve designed a comprehensive program that encourages familiarity
  with the basics. This approach allows for tenured IT professionals, non-degree holding
  professionals and recent high school graduates to train at their level.

  From IT infrastructure and networking to internship, our programs intentionally cater to
  non-degree holding persons seeking to pivot their career path.

  WHAT ARE THE PREREQUISITES FOR ENROLLMENT?

  Our programming encompasses the prerequisite courses we would otherwise
  recommend. In other words, once a career track has been selected and you are enrolled
  in your program of choice, whether you are just starting out in the field, or a
  professional looking to pivot into a different career path, you will not be
  required to enroll in another course to become job ready.

  Frequently Asked Questions

  WHAT IS THE TYPICAL CLASS SCHEDULE?

  Scheduling for our cohort-based programs is tailored to appeal to working professionals.
  As such you can expect evening sessions although frequency will vary based on the
  program. Admission is awarded on a rolling basis.

  HOW IS THIS PROGRAM STRUCTURED?

  Delivered online, our programming features:

    Hybrid e-learning

        Our method combines the essential elements of a self-
      directed model—e.g. online exercises, and pre-recorded video
      instructions—with “traditional” classroom features, e.g. weekly
      live sessions, to create an environment conducive to high
      engagement for the benefit of the trainee.

    Lockstep teaching

       While self-paced programs let you choose when and what
      to study, our lock-step approach requires that you follow our
      curriculum in a group setting. This approach helps us ensure that
      you have a peer group you can call on throughout the program
      and beyond.

    Holistic programming

      We believe that the interconnected nature of the IT field requires
      programming that encompasses both the building blocks and the
      core learning objectives. Pulling from multiple IT tenets, principles
      and disciplines, our training model prepares you to become a
      holistic professional with a complete understanding of your field
      and capable of performing in real life situations.

    Internship enrollment & personalized career coaching

      The accompaniment you receive extends beyond certification as our
      programs are complemented by individualized career coaching and
      features elective enrollment in a meaningful internship program.

  Frequently Asked Questions

  WHY SHOULD YOU ENROLL WITH US AS OPPOSED TO ANY OTHER
  COURSE?

  The YellowTail difference starts with the structure of the program. Whereas a course
  focuses on the subject matter, we approach our programming holistically, with your
  career goals in mind. Our value add begins with the care we take in ensuring you have a
  proper understanding of infrastructure, continues through the tailored, hands-on career
  coaching we provide and is enhanced by elective internship programs.

  Backed by a tuition reimbursement guarantee, our program features live lectures and
  hand-on meant to encourage engagement and interactions among trainees, instructors
  and TA when most courses are currently self-paced.

  There is a reason our programming ends with FOR JOBS. From start to finish our goal is
  to ensure that you are job ready.

  HOW ARE YOU QUALIFIED TO TRAIN?

  We are industry certified career professionals with 30 years of combined subject matter
  expertise and experience. Far from jacks of all trade, our staff of instructors and TAs
  intentionally focus on the Linux OS, bringing back real-time and relevant industry
  knowledge to your classroom experience.

  With a seven-year track record, our success rate speaks for itself. And, just in case you are
  still skeptical, testimonials from past trainees attest to the hands-on investment from
  instructors that underpins our training programs.

  HOW MUCH WILL I NEED TO INVEST IN THE PROGRAM?

  Your total investment is determined by a few key factors unique to your needs. Please
  schedule a career strategy session with our Enrollment Advisor to discuss, among other
  things:

    Tuition cost
    Finance options
    Current incentives
    Program details; and
    Program eligibility

  Frequently Asked Questions

  DO YOU OFFER FINANCING? AND, IF SO, WHAT OPTIONS ARE
  AVAILABLE?

  Yes. We offer a variety of financing options. An Enrollment Advisor will go over all
  financing options available to you during your career counseling session.

  WHY WE OPT OUT OF THE INCOME SHARE MODEL?

  Years of experience have taught us that our most successful trainees are those with skin
  in the game.

  We’ve learned that once the investment has been made, trainees are more likely to
  remain engaged and motivated throughout the duration of the program.

  We are only interested in investing our time and resources with individuals who are
  equally invested in their career progression.
