I'm starting a Cyber Security (PenTest) certificate and I'm concerned about it being a waste of time

tldr; 16 weeks intensive Cyber Security (Pentesting) certificate. Very little tech experience other than some electives and hobbies. Is 16 weeks even possible to learn something like this? And if all my experience in the field was that 16-week cert, is it really feasible they could find me a position as a junior? Classes are M-F 40 hrs a week.



So for long story short, I am a Veteran from the Army (weird saying that. I didn't deploy/do much lol) …
