My experience with the Academy of South Florida has been frustrating and absolutely not worth the $10,000 student loan I took out to attend. I hesitated to enroll for years, and when I finally decided to go for it, I ended up deeply disappointed. The program was supposed to last 24 weeks, but it's now been over a year and I’m still not finished, mainly due to poor scheduling and limited course availability. Despite receiving the full $10K, they asked me to pay extra for lab access, even though I was told everything I needed was included in the tuition. I was also assured I’d receive better support as a prepaid student compared to those on workforce grants, but that didn’t happen either. I was dropped into the middle of advanced courses instead of starting with A+ and Net+, because courses are only offered at specific times. At one point, I even ended up repeating the same Azure course due to overlapping schedules and a shared instructor. There were also multiple forced breaks between classes, sometimes lasting weeks, through no fault of my own. Communication from the staff was poor and inconsistent, and the job assistance offered was basically just links to job boards I was already subscribed to. If I could go back, I would choose a different school, preferably one that offers a job guarantee or a refund policy, like the one the Academy ironically liked on social media. If I had to attend again, it would only be through employer sponsorship and only for what was strictly necessary for a job promotion. I wouldn’t recommend this school to anyone. I’ve honestly learned more from Udemy, and while the Academy does have a few solid instructors, I wish I had spent my money elsewhere. The only reason I thought this was a 5-star school is because I hadn’t looked at their Yelp reviews, where the real feedback is buried under one-star ratings.
This is such a great program! The staff is super helpful and the teachers are a great resource. We get hands-on experience through labs, and have access to practice exams. They also help us get jobs in the industry. I'm super grateful for everyone at The Academy and am very excited for this journey.
I'm a new student at The Academy and my experience has been great. I'm learning a lot and the staff and instructors are very professional and knowledgeable. The school also provides tons of practical study materials like extensive practice exams and labs to prepare you for your certs.
Had an appointment at 10:50am. The people working here were super organized and fast. The lady taking your finger prints and information was doing a great job multitasking with 2 clients at the same time. Super polite, going above and beyond. I do recommend this office. 100%
I took an online course on aws during Christmas break and it was very well managed. We didn't have to listen to endless lectures that are easily forgotten. From the beginning it was very hands on and we were building things in the cloud from day one.
