“SECA introduced in demand technology and concepts most companies are looking for. The experience gained in the classes are invaluable, especially to self taught/bootcamp grads. Working with Cognizant, one of the top technology service companies, adds more credibility to the skills that I have developed, and I can even work with top Fortune companies like JPM.
