My experience here at BC at this point…
My experience here at BC at this point has reassured me that this has been one of the best choices that I could have made for myself and my family. There is a lot of information for you to take in, but this program gives you the chance to slowly take it in and digest it. If you're still struggling, there is multiple different ways for you to ask for help or get a better understanding to what your struggle may be. This program is very unique, for instance if there is something that you get wrong on a test or quiz, it almost forces you to want to get the understanding right. Once I understood the reason behind why certain steps had to be taken for the requirements, then it made the big picture clearer. I advise any student of this program to just use your resources and you will be fine. Do exactly what's asked of you without skipping steps and you will be fine. Some people can follow directions and some people just don't. For those who don't will make excuses for why it didn't happen. I would recommend this course over and over again! Good Luck!

My BaxterClewis Program Review
Transformative and Inspirational describe my experience with the company. You have to truly believe in yourself and the processes put in place to succeed, and you will succeed. The program demands you care enough to put in the work and overcome any doubts u have. If you stay consistent, you will see amazing things happen as your knowledge and confidence transform right before your very eyes. #Strive4Sixfigures

BC exceeded my expectations
I have been in the program now for a month, the tools that are given are not only beneficial for the cyber security field but in life. It starts by building character forcing you to become the best version of yourself, and the Boyd takes the lump of clay and molds you. I would say that the training is applicable to all fields in GRC, Risk assessment/Remediation or Information security. Not only is the program great but there is also a community of like-minded individuals some who have passed and others who are starting or going through, it's great to connect with them and look for pointers. There are some things I would search Professor Messer for but for the most part the information is easy to digest, and you can go through it as much as you need to achieve mastery. Really happy to be a part of the club! Edit: I have since passed my final and now I'm learning in the field through the internship, next update I'll have the job

My Experience with Baxter academy is a life change experience in a sense that these past 12 weeks I learned to be to be mind full of cyber treats and my mind set now is to become the first line of defense against such threats Thanks to my coach Cori Chaney that kept pushing and motives me along this 12 weeks. I will continue to work and push harder to reach my dream job and personal goals

The opportunity to learn from Mr. Boyd Clewis
The opportunity to learn from Mr. Boyd Clewis and a team of seasoned experts in the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is a significant advantage for students. This kind of direct mentorship and hands-on learning is crucial in the field of cybersecurity, where practical skills and up-to-date knowledge are paramount.
The emphasis on community spirit and personalized attention at Baxter Academy further enhances the learning experience. By treating students as part of a family rather than just numbers, the academy likely fosters a supportive and collaborative environment. This approach not only aids in academic and professional growth but also in personal development.
For anyone interested in pursuing a career in cybersecurity, especially in areas related to payment security and data protection, joining Baxter Academy seems like a promising step. The combination of expert guidance, hands-on learning, and a strong community spirit offers a comprehensive educational experience.

I am having a really good time in the program. I am learning a lot, but more importantly, I feel like I am really being groomed to become a professional in the real world. I am currently a senior and I feel like a lot of resources are given to make sure I succeed. The last star is just being held until I can get that 6-figure salary that I hear so much about.

This academy along with the course is amazing! You really can go from Zero to CyberHero if you follow the course to the T, keep in contact with your advisor, have an open mind and embrace the newness of it all. This course is set up for you to learn new things about cybersecurity and yourself while having fun. Total life changing experience! Thanks Boyd and the entire team at Baxter Clewis!

What’s your Kaizen? Mine has been attending Baxter Clewis Training Academy gaining PCI DSS Mastery and the Authority Mindset to improve my tech career .. that’s Kaizen!
My life’s mantra has been Kaizen, there's always room for improvement. Whether it is for spiritual growth or a pivotal new Cybersecurity career. Every few years I get a new certification. Learning new things makes me feel good. I took an interest in Cybersecurity towards the end of 2023, and began taking an Intro to Cybersecurity Bootcamp, that’s when I first learned of PCI DSS. It was my first time experiencing online learning, and I honestly didn’t feel confident in the Cybersecurity Bootcamp, it encompassed a broad spectrum of several niches, and I had zero tech background so some of it felt incomprehensible.
I began looking up PCI DSS after learning about it in the Cybersecurity Bootcamp and found BCTA, specializing in PCI DSS. It resonated with me because I’ve been working for over a decade with regional government administration specializing in Compliance and Purchasing. I figured the PCI DSS Requirements to be similar in nature to the Regulatory Requirements I was used to monitoring for compliance. The methodology is practically the same! If it’s not in compliance, how long will it take to remediate to become in compliance?
As for BCTA program, it’s been a very good experience. On day one I was given a success advisor who has supported me throughout the first 12 weeks of the program. I have also been given a community of students at all levels of learning within the program. Which is a gem within itself to have such a wealth of resources at my fingertips. The community feels like family cheering each other on sharing our wins!
And to my surprise, Boyd comes on live zoom calls with us all for additional support and is not just teaching us the lessons on the modules. He shares his experiences, his insights, and how to do things that will help us to get hired, and how to do things when we get on the job. His coaching and mentoring skills set us up for success!
I feel it was a smart decision to have put the Cybersecurity Bootcamp on hold until I complete BCTA and land my first job in tech. One thing I wish, would be if there were a legacy membership to stay connected after completing the year of BCTA. I’ve found the community to be not just a wealth of knowledge, but also a tribe of like-mindedness all there for each other. I know I’d pay a membership fee to stay connected, and I suppose there are others who would do so as well that are in the program with me currently. Something to consider Boyd. Something to consider, just saying. Boyd, kudos on creating a learning platform specializing in a niche of Cybersecurity that is extremely important in today’s world shifting to a cashless society!

Very Effective
I have been in this program now for 6 months. The curriculum is well put together, the support we get here is immense, and community is amazing. I know that I now have a solid grasp of PCI concepts and feel extremely positive about securing employment in this field.

PROS and CONS
First of all, Yes! I did get a $$$$$$ 6 figure offer!
PROS:
*Internship experience working with Fortune 500 company
*Access to certified QSAs to ask questions
*Access to SMEs to build your resume
*Access to SMEs to build your online profiles
CONS:
Price point is a little high.
MY RECOMMENDATIONS:
You have to look at this as an investment in yourself, just like you would college. There is no guarantee that you will receive a job offer after you gain your degree. This is the same. If you decide that you are going to invest in this program, then don't do the Self-paced Training. Go all in! The Internship is where the real value is and where you gain the real experience working with a real Fortune 500 Company.
Could you learn to do this on your own by reading the PCI DSS Framework? Yes, you could!
Could you learn to do this by watching YouTube videos? Yes, you could!
Would I recommend you invest in this opportunity? Depends on how much you believe in yourself and how much you believe in investing in yourself. I believed that I was worth investing in.
BTW...everyone that has left a 3, 4 or 5 star review I have either worked with or seen in the program, However, I have never seen ANY of the individuals who gave a 1 star rating in the program.

You know when you’ve hooked up with a winning system!
The environment created by the team here at Baxter/Clewis has been A1 professional and built on a foundation of knowledge and solid leadership environment. I’ve never been a part of a learning environment where people support and encourage others to WIN and push through to achieve their dreams! I could write a paragraph of accolades and adjectives to express my gratitude for their genuine concern for all of their students success! Thank you for the awesome learning environment!

Invest in Yourself!
This academy stands out big time. Thank you to the Baxter Clewis team, I have began my journey as a cybersecurity professional. In this academy, you get paired with a success coach, tap into a vast network of IT pros, dive into pre-recorded lessons, and even get to chat live with Mr. Clewis himself.
But the real gem? The “Authority Mindset"modules. When I began, I felt uneasy about my career. I wanted to feel more in control of my life circumstances. This program isn't just about cybersecurity and PCI stuff; it also boosts your confidence and teaches you how to master your own mind. It's a game-changer that affects all parts of your life. I will carry this gem with me throughout the remainder of my life.
The main message? Invest in yourself because that's how you grow. As the saying goes, you reap what you sow.

Baxter Clewis Training Academy played a major role in helping me transition from 14+ years in education to an IT role with a Fortune 500 company.

Thank you Baxter Clewis Training Academy!
The Baxter Clewis Training Academy does a fantastic job in getting you started in a cyber security career! The course is full of valuable knowledge and you get to hear it right from the people leading the way. The interactions with Boyd and his team are always helpful and they try hard to show their investment in you and your success. If I had to voice a word of advice to those running the show, it would be to provide more in depth interactive training while going through the modules (such as reviewing network diagrams, firewall rules, etc). I will continue to refer people who are wanting to start their cyber security journey to Baxter Clewis.
