Which Live Online Cybersecurity Bootcamp is Right for Me?
You have several options when it comes to learning Cybersecurity, so we’ve chosen 16 of the best Live Online bootcamps from the top 13 training providers to help you make your decision. But even so, with the variety of considerations including cost, duration, course format, starting level, and more, choosing the perfect bootcamp still isn’t that easy.
Here are the key questions you should ask yourself before enrolling in a Cybersecurity bootcamp. We hope you’ll find the best option based on your learning preferences and goals.
What level should I start at?
Enrolling in the right skill level is pivotal. Skipping over prerequisites can leave you confused, while choosing a course too easy will waste your time and tuition dollars.
Beginner Courses
If you’re new to Cybersecurity, there’s no need to fear. We’ve found 15 beginner courses, with costs ranging from $1,404 to $18,000. The top options open to beginners include:

Already comfortable with the basics of Cybersecurity and feel ready to move to an intermediate or advanced class? Consider the following courses which all require some prerequisite knowledge:
- SecDevOps @ Tech Talent South ($4,750 | 8 Weeks)
How does live online Cybersecurity training work?
Live Online training is synchronous training where participants and the instructor attend remotely. Participants learn and interact with the instructor in real-time and can ask questions and receive feedback throughout the course. Instructors can remote into students’ computers (with prior permission) to assist with class exercises and any technical issues. The courses are hands-on and interactive like in-person training.
You can attend the course from your own home or office. This option works best for those without easy access to a nearby facility, and it has become increasingly popular during COVID-19.
If you attend a virtual training from your home or office, you’ll need a computer with strong internet access and any relevant software installed prior to the course. Most schools provide setup instructions before the course, and some will provide direct assistance.
The instruction takes place via a teleconferencing software like Zoom, Webex, or GoToMeeting, and some schools have their own learning portals.
When are Cybersecurity classes available?
It’s crucial to find a course that fits your schedule. For live online Cybersecurity training, we’ve found flexible scheduling options, including weekday, evening, and weekend courses.
Courses with multiple scheduling options include:

Also note, 2 courses we’ve found require a full-time commitment. These courses are “career-changer” courses that typically span over several months and require 40 or more hours of work per week, whether in the classroom or out-of-class assignments and projects. They also typically require a large financial commitment, although many provide payment plans and financing options. Full-time courses include:
- Full-time Cybersecurity Bootcamp @ Fullstack Academy, spanning over 17 Weeks for $17,980
- Cybersecurity @ Jedha, spanning over 40 Hours for $1,295
Due to changing schedules and uncertainty during COVID-19, we recommend that prospective students confirm course availability directly with the school.

Career Changer
You’re not only committed to learning Cybersecurity comprehensively, but you’re hoping and ready to break into a new career.

Job support typically includes resume writing, help with job applications, portfolio building, and career counseling, but the services vary by provider.
Applications are typically required and many also require remote prework to build essential concepts before the more intensive “live” training.

Learn More About Live Online Cybersecurity Bootcamps
Cybersecurity is the protection of internet-connected assets such as servers, systems, hardware, software, data. A cybersecurity professional works to protect an organization’s computer equipment, systems, networks, and servers from information theft, cyberattacks, and other security breaches. Cybersecurity is a term that encompasses a variety of online security aspects including analytics and engineering.
Cybersecurity bootcamps can focus on a specific aspect of cybersecurity or cover all aspects. Cybersecurity bootcamps cover network and system administration as well as analyzing and responding to attacks. Students learn about protective concepts as well as potential threats so they can configure a system to have an appropriate response. Students learn theory and also participate in cyber-attack simulations. Some bootcamps also introduce participants to cybersecurity tools like Python and its libraries.
Careers for Cybersecurity Bootcamp Graduates
At the rate that the internet grows every year, and with the growing number of online threats, cybersecurity is a field with immense growth potential. Cybersecurity is one of the core skills needed to secure a cybersecurity position as a security engineer, security analyst, or information technology (IT) security specialist. Most cybersecurity positions require certification but this is the standard in the industry, as cybersecurity specialists are expected to stay current on all aspects of online security.
A security engineer builds security systems for organizations, looks for vulnerabilities in the system, and makes security systems more reliable. A security analyst monitors their organization’s network to prevent attacks on their private data. They must know how to build firewalls to help prevent threats from happening. Like a security engineer, an IT security specialist develops and implements security measures. Additionally, they analyze the existing security procedures in terms of efficiency and security and recommend any changes to upper management.
Virtual Cybersecurity Bootcamps
Live online cybersecurity bootcamps are a great alternative to in-person bootcamps as they have essentially all the same benefits. Like in-person bootcamps, they are live, interactive, and hands-on. However, live online bootcamps can be attended from anywhere that has a reliable internet connection. In live online bootcamps, students ask questions in real-time and, with permission, the instructor can access their screen in order to monitor progress or help with any questions.
Noble Desktop, the creator of this tool, has compiled helpful information about available cybersecurity bootcamps. Tech Talent South offers an 8-week, 6-hour per week part-time program that covers software development and IT operations. Participants learn how to maintain software using AWS, Kubernetes, Agile, and Docker.
Flatiron offers a 4-month Online Cybersecurity Analytics course designed to teach participants the needed skills to become a security analyst, consultant, or tier 1+ SOC analyst. The course covers network and system administration, threat and security intelligence, and event management. Students finish the course with a capstone project.
Virtual Cybersecurity Classes
For those who are not quite ready to commit to an entire bootcamp but want to start learning about cybersecurity or its related topics, a live online cybersecurity class is an excellent choice.
Certstaffix offers three 5-day options. One is CISSP: Certified Information Systems Security Professional, a comprehensive course that prepares students for the Certified Information Systems Security Professional exam. They also offer CompTIA Security+, which prepares students for Exam SYO-501(CompTIA Security+) certification, and CompTIA PenTest+ (PT0-001).
Choosing a Cybersecurity Bootcamp
There are several factors to consider when choosing a cybersecurity bootcamp, including cost, duration, and level of depth into the subject of cybersecurity. Cybersecurity bootcamps generally take between 4-6 months to complete and cost anywhere between $10,000-$20,000.
Cybersecurity bootcamps can focus on a specific aspect of cybersecurity such as analytics and engineering, or cover all aspects. Many of the bootcamps offer payment plans, monthly payment plans, and income share agreement payment options, which means students don’t pay until they’ve secured a job. Students can also look for scholarships and employer reimbursements.
Generally, cybersecurity bootcamps are hands-on learning experiences in which students acquire a solid base in a short period of time. One of the additional advantages of taking a bootcamp is the job support that is often included in the program. Some programs offer job mentoring while others even offer job guarantees.
