My experience is not so positive. It looks like the donors and learners data is not secure and protected at PerScholas.And the behavior and actions of employees raise questions. As a client I'm disappointed. During the learning process someone several times connected to the computer Perscholas provided. He/she/they typed different text on the screen, runned commands on the terminal. Each time connections and tasks were recorded and information was provided to the instructor to conduct investigations. Perscholas required clients/learners use they personal emails to get access to different platforms and at the same time they cannot protect their network and clients/learners accounts. If someone can easily get access to the learners computers at organization's network, he/she/they can easily can get access the the donors data as well as data any person that use Perscholas network. I asked for help and requested copy of the documents regarding the incidents. Unfortunately, since January 2023 didn't receive any.

Went there to volunteer at an event and the staff were really nice and I loved working with the students! The place was well run and organized from my perspective.

I had the best experience at Per Scholas Online Cyber Security bootcamp. They provided me with FREE high level education, FREE computer to perform labs on (and later I got to keep that computer!), FREE tech tools and books (+online resources) and all this in order for me to succeed during this training! I had a very knowledgeable instructor and I would've never learned all this by myself! They also provide a voucher to take the standardized test and get certified in the field (my voucher was worth $400 and I didn't pay a penny). I feel incredibly blessed for this opportunity. THANK YOU PER SCHOLAS!

While I understand the negative reviews, I can tell you as a former alumni that this place is Awesome! It is FREE...instructors are great and did I mention it's free. They will prepare you for interviews, have boat loads of connections and will do their best to hold your hand. Also will provide you with a counselor to help you negative thru $ problems, if you are stressed, got that covered too. But you have to take charge of the opportunity that they are providing you with! Even if you went to bootcamps and took out loans, they will expect you to self study as well, and this is a free bootcamp. BUT if you are the type of individual that thinks that just by attending and being a burden on these guys...I'm sorry you can make all the excuses you want...it's YOU not them.

I am a Vocational Education Specialist from Housing works. I've been trying to refer one of my clients' to Per Scholas program and I was unsuccessful. I have left numerous messages and no one has returned my calls. I think this is very unprofessional and unethical. I am still waiting for someone to return my call, so I could make the referral. Unfortunately, my client wants to enroll in your program. Please return my call, thanks.
