Ripoff Report: Infosec Institute / Intense School MCSA Boot Camp — One Pass Out of 44
Another public complaint — this one about Infosec Institute’s Intense School MCSA/MCSE boot camp. The reviewer reports that only one exam was passed out of the 44 the class should have taken, and describes a training operation that felt more like a sales pipeline than an education.

Reddit Review: Infosec Institute’s CEH Boot Camp Isn’t Worth It
Here’s a detailed first-hand review of an Infosec Institute CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker) boot camp, posted publicly by a student on Reddit’s r/CEH.
