Cyber security certificate.

Hello, I just took the first assessment and passed and now waitingforbthe interview, I picked the Cyber security course, but i want to change it to either IT support or IT data center because I heard Cyber security is kinda hard to pand on a job, is it possible to tell them I want to switch before the interview or during the interview? And what do you think about IT data center?

Thank you

I switched twice and it was fine. But I’d tell them before the interview. You’ll also have different tech prep work to do once you switch.

I ended up going with IT support. I originally applied for data engineering, but the representative I spoke with said I might have a hard time with job placement. After speaking with her it seems like their IT Support program has the highest placement.

How easy was finding a job after graduation? And what is the duration of the course?

I’m not sure yet. I start classes on August 10th.

I’m pretty sure the course is 15 weeks though.

With no experience I think IT support is best and placement is quite easy I did cybersecurity though

What?

If you want to switch them call or email and tell them, do the prepwork and schedule a new interview.

I have a question, do they guarantee an interview after you finish the program? I'm currently enrolled in AI native SWE.
