In order to translate your IT training into a job, you must prove to employers
that you have hands-on knowledge.
Our internship does exactly that, you will be assigned tickets in a real
environment, to solve real problems in a real company.
Our internship enrollment opportunity is one of the most important
components of our continued success
Our Career support is very methodical, this is when you will be working directly
with Jubee and his team.
Together, we will outline a personalized plan to get you ready for the job
market.
We will leverage our industry partnerships and 7+ years of experience to help

HOW DO I APPLY?
We’ve done away with the traditional application process and instead, we’ve opted to
admit applicants based on a mutual fit selection process. Acceptance to the program is
awarded following a thorough assessment of how your needs can be met through our
unique model during the career strategy session.
The first step in the acceptance process is to SCHEDULE a CAREER STRATEGY SESSION.
This is where we will know where you are and your road map to success!
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.
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!
Our programs are only available virtually. Although virtual, our belief in
direct engagement underpins our class environment. We commit to
fostering an active engagement and require that trainees show up
to class prepared to connect and share their experiences. You are
never alone in your efforts.

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.
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.

Holistic programming
AWSFORJOBS
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.
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.
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
AWSFORJOBS
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.
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.
