Whether you’re just starting your tech career or looking to level up into a senior role, CIAT’s accelerated certification bootcamps were built for you. And we’ve got some exciting news: our bootcamp catalog just got a whole lot bigger.
We’re launching six new intensive certification programs, bringing our total to nine bootcamps spanning IT fundamentals, cloud computing, AI-driven cybersecurity, healthcare administration, and project leadership. Here’s a look at everything that’s now available, and how to figure out which track might be right for you.
What Makes CIAT Bootcamps Different
Before we dive into the programs, here’s what every single one of our bootcamps has in common.
All nine programs are delivered through live, instructor-led online sessions, not pre-recorded videos you watch on your own schedule. You’ll be learning in real time alongside other students, with an instructor you can actually ask questions.
Every bootcamp is also backed by our Unlimited Certification Exam Policy. That means if you don’t pass your exam on the first try, you can retake it as many times as you need to, at no extra cost. We want you to get certified, full stop.
Scheduling is flexible too. Weekday cohorts run Monday through Friday, 8am–5pm PT over five days. If your week is packed, weekend cohorts span two weekends from 8am–6pm PT, so you can train without putting your job or life on hold.
And all of this starts at just $995.
The Original Three: Our Core IT Certification Tracks
CIAT’s bootcamp program started with three foundational CompTIA tracks that have already helped hundreds of students land their first IT roles. If you’re new to the field or looking to build a solid base, these are the place to start.
CompTIA A+
This is the essential starting point for anyone pursuing an IT career. The A+ bootcamp covers computer hardware and software fundamentals, network troubleshooting, mobile device management, and security best practices. It’s the credential employers look for when hiring help desk technicians, IT support specialists, and field service technicians, and it’s a natural first step before moving on to more advanced certifications.
CompTIA Network+
Ready to go deeper? The Network+ bootcamp builds on foundational IT knowledge and gets into the architecture and infrastructure that keep businesses running. You’ll cover network design, routing and switching, wireless technologies, and network security fundamentals, skills that translate directly into roles like network administrator or systems engineer.
CompTIA Security+
Security+ is one of the most recognized entry-level cybersecurity credentials in the world, and for good reason. This bootcamp covers threat identification and mitigation, security architecture, security operations, and risk and compliance management. If you’re aiming for a role in cybersecurity, this is one of the first certifications you’ll want in your toolkit.
What’s New: Six Expanded Bootcamp Programs
Our original three tracks laid the foundation. Now we’re building on it, with six new programs that take students into cloud computing, AI-powered security, healthcare, and leadership.
CompTIA SecAI+
AI isn’t just changing the way businesses operate; it’s fundamentally reshaping cybersecurity. The SecAI+ bootcamp is designed for IT and security professionals who want to stay ahead of that curve. You’ll learn how AI is being used to detect and respond to threats, how to build AI-enabled security architecture, and how to manage the unique risks that come with automated security environments. This is one of the most forward-looking credentials available right now, and CIAT is one of the first institutions offering dedicated bootcamp prep for it.
Microsoft Azure: Fundamentals + Administrator (Two-Cert Track)
Cloud skills are no longer optional for IT professionals, they’re expected. This two-certification track starts with Azure Fundamentals and moves into the Azure Administrator credential, covering cloud identity and governance, virtual networking, compute services, and storage solutions. By the end, you’ll have two Microsoft certifications and the hands-on skills to manage Azure environments at the enterprise level.
AWS: Cloud Practitioner + Solutions Architect (Two-Cert Track)
Amazon Web Services powers a huge portion of the internet, and demand for AWS-certified professionals continues to outpace supply. This two-cert track starts with the AWS Cloud Practitioner credential to build your foundation, then advances toward the Solutions Architect certification, covering cloud architecture design, core AWS services, security best practices, and operational excellence. It’s an ideal track for anyone targeting cloud operations, engineering, or architecture roles.
CISSP: Advanced Security Leadership
The CISSP is widely considered the gold standard for senior cybersecurity professionals, and this bootcamp is built for those who are ready to pursue it. If you’ve got experience in the field and you’re looking to move into a Director, CISO, or Security Architect role, this intensive program covers everything from security and risk management strategy to governance, compliance, and security program leadership. It’s not an entry-level program, but if you’re at that stage in your career, it’s a powerful next step.
AAPC CPC: Professional Medical Coding
Healthcare is one of the most stable and consistently growing industries in the country, and medical coders are in high demand. The CPC bootcamp prepares you for the Certified Professional Coder credential from the AAPC, covering medical coding fundamentals, industry code sets like CPT, ICD-10, and HCPCS, compliance and documentation standards, and real-world clinical coding workflows. It’s a great option for anyone looking to enter healthcare administration or transition into a coding role from another part of the healthcare field.
PMP: Project Management Professional
The PMP is the most recognized project management certification in the world, and this bootcamp was built to help you earn it while also making you a stronger, more effective leader in practice. You’ll cover modern project delivery frameworks (including agile and hybrid approaches), scope and schedule management, risk assessment, stakeholder communication, and team leadership. Whether you’re already managing projects informally or looking to make it official, this program gives you both the credential and the real-world skills to back it up.
How to Choose the Right Bootcamp
Not sure where to start? Here’s a quick way to think about it:
Just entering IT? Start with CompTIA A+, then build toward Network+ and Security+.
Already in IT and want to move into cloud? The Azure or AWS two-cert tracks are a natural next step.
Working in cybersecurity and want to specialize or advance? SecAI+ if you want to focus on AI-driven security, or CISSP if you’re ready for a senior leadership credential.
Interested in healthcare careers? The AAPC CPC track opens doors into one of the most in-demand roles in healthcare administration.
Managing projects and want to make it official? The PMP bootcamp gives you the credential and the frameworks to lead with confidence.
