AI + Fullstack Engineering

If you are serious about learning how to code and/or becoming a software engineer/developer I highly recommend taking the plunge and joining this bootcamp. The curriculum emphasizes learning 'how to learn' new technologies and languages instead of focusing on what is most popular. You will also do a lot of test-driven development and pair programming throughout (I will also include that you won't realize how much of it you've done until the end). Peter and our TAs were not only accessible and caring but also smart AF. They're really good at identifying the goals, gaps, and opportunities within each individual. In addition, they're really good at building a super diverse, inclusive community of people you will be learning alongside. I can't emphasize enough how dope this bootcamp was for me. 

I had such an amazing experience at Actualize! My bootcamp was during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and their response to it was very impressive - we did not skip a beat! My professor, Peter, and all of the TAs were so helpful with every topic. I definitely recommend Actualize to anyone!

A friend of mine recommended Actualize coding bootcamp because I had mentioned that I was interested in learning how to code and he had previously taken the course. I had no prior experience with coding, so I was really nervous about the class and wasn't sure what to expect. I was very happy with my experience! Peter, my instructor, was very knowledgeable, approachable, and encouraging to all of the students and was a great teacher! It was a fast paced course, but he was very good at breaking down and explaining problems and helping students gain a firm grasp on the fundamentals and how to apply them to your code. Not only did I get this great learning experience, but they also help you with career training and make sure you are prepared when you leave the bootcamp. I would definitely recommend for anyone, whether you have next to no knowledge about coding or if you want to have a deeper understanding. I'm took the plunge and decided to join my Actualize cohort! 

I chose Actualize based on the recommendation of a colleague. I was wanting to do one for well over a year, but was hesitant for various reasons. Once I was pushed into it due to a job layoff, I took to it really quickly. It is hard to quantify just how much information is pushed into your brain in a short time, but the curriculum is great. The instructors are all about reinforcing what you're learning, while also reminding you that you don't need to be an expert right away. Everyone is always learning, and they don't shame you if you're not "performing" to a certain standard, since everyone's journey is different. They also aren't afraid to be human and not put so much pressure on benchmarks of performance. Overall would highly recommend.

A very helpful and informative class. I learned a lot about coding and working as a coder. The instructors were very helpful and friendly.

I'm very happy with Actualize. The instructors and staff were very personable. I am also very pleased with the depth of job support that is integrated into the curriculum and continues on after the 12 week program until a job is secured by the student. Very thorough.

After extensive research on many schools,  the Actualize Coding Bootcamp stood out as the best option. Initially, their online program has the best schedule for you available to keep work and still put up time to dedicate appropriately to your new journey. Having 100% or the classes online is a differential that matters and helps you keep up and steady progress on your learning curve. One of the most important things to look out for a course is the teacher. And Brian is one of the best ones for sure. I am glad to have such a high-level teacher and friendly style as my teacher. I pushed to get all the work available done, but there are so much available to do an extra class that I couldn't keep the pace. That is definitely a pro for the program. At some weeks, I wish they could have gone more in-depth and pushed a bit more. The learning shouldn't rely on the school but on yourself. With that in mind, I did a lot of work on the side, and that pays off and helping me to feel confident about the next steps. Overall I definitely recommend the school, and just at some points, I do wish to have more content. 

I researched a bunch of different coding bootcamps in Chicago and I didn’t feel comfortable committing to one until Is spoke with the team at Actualize.  It just seemed natural. The team was so supportive from the very beginning and the pre-work helped me feel more confident actually starting a course. The online live portion in particular, fit my lifestyle and allowed me to continue to work and support myself.  This was especially important in the middle of this pandemic!  My experience was truly amazing. While some things were extremely challenging, it was nicely balanced out by an excellent teaching style that provided help but also enough freedom to make mistakes and learn.  I would recommend Actualize to any adult that’s ready to make a major change in their career. Although the road is still ahead of me, I feel confident in the skills I’ve learned and the things that I feel empowered to teach myself as I move forward! 

I can't yet tell what the ultimate outcome will be career wise, as I just finished the course, but the journey has been amazing.  The instructors and TAs from pre work and on were fantastic.  Brian Rice, the evening online instructor is  an expert teacher and coder.  Education is the name of the game.  It's not as much about what languages you're taught, but how you're taught them.  The goal is to empower you to feel like you have thew ability to pick up any language, learn it, and use it.  It's easier said than done, but it is doable.  The commitment is grueling, yet satisfying.  As a full time worker and father, the schedule is difficult.  It was extremely hard to find any time outside of class to practice.  That's ok, but I do feel that the you'll get the absolute most out of the experience with some extra time outside of class.  Just something to keep in mind.  I highly recommend Actualize.

I chose Actualize because of the ability to do the course online, while also still having a structured classroom schedule/setup. I knew doing an "at your own pace" class was not going to be good for me, so Actualize was a fantastic option. It was definitely immersive and interactive. I was hesitant at first to be on camera throughout, but I think it actually helped me bond with the other students and become more comfortable to ask questions (of the teacher and of others). The instructors and the TA's were all very knowledgable and approachable. I would highly recommend this course to either someone looking for a career change and has the time and passion for this type of bootcamp, or someone like myself who is still working full time, can log on in the evenings to attend, and is dedicated to learning!

I love the curriculum of the course, the instructors were always very helpful also the other students. 

I cannot be more grateful for the support that I was given along with the resources. My instructor--Brian Rice--was everything: helpful, funny, charismatic, and innovative. 

The focus on teaching you how to learn is what drew me to actualize and they definitely delivered. The instruction was always clear and concise and tailored to help you understand complex subjects. The instructor's jokes weren't THAT bad either... While it was digestible it was also challenging. The job hacking portion took my networking game up to another level and many excellent connections and learning experiences were gained as a result of reaching out to others in the industry which I would not have done on my own. 

I chose Actualize because of their emphasis on teaching and instruction and not just on what was in their curriculum. The experience lived up to advertised. Brian did a great job of taking complex tasks and breaking them down for us to understand. He also did a good job of stretching our learning and getting us out of our comfort zone. I would recommend Actualize to anyone who is looking for a career change and wants to get into software development.

Actualize was recommended to me by a group of Software developers I befriended on my search for the perfect boot camp. I am not disappointed at all and it doesn't hurt that they offer scholarships. The experience was mind blowing and a little scary, but I came out the other end equipped with the skills to help me move forward in my new journey. I am very grateful to Dani Z. (lead instructor), My two TA's, Tori and Benji, My Job career coach (Lisa) who worked tirelessly to help me succeed. I'm also grateful to Jay Wengrow for Founding such a wonderful program and giving back to the community and all future developers out there.

This bootcamp is great for people who would like to transition into web development.  The staff here is very passionate about what they do and they ensure you have superior resources available not only for the class itself but for job-finding support.  This program has been built by people with a very strong background in education and it shows. It sets a great foundation for so many topics not only for learning how to code but for project management, communication, collaboration and more! I highly recommend Actualize!

I recently finished the Actualize online web development course. I looked long and hard at all the schools. Interviewed at several different programs as well. In the end I choose actualize because I felt the live online classes with an instructor, teaching assistants and other students gave me the best of both worlds. This turned out to be exactly the case! A bonus was all of the content is recorded and documented so you can use it as reference right after a lesson or after the program is over. I felt that the program was well thought out in terms of timing spent on all necessary aspects of learning development concepts, softwares, frameworks and even the basics on command line interaction. All of the content felt on point. There were some technologies I would have liked to have gone over but the rate at which technology moves I understand you can't touch on everything. This is a great course for someone with no previous knowledge in IT or development. I only put 4 stars on the job assistance just because I am starting to get into that aspect of the job search right now. Actualize does start grooming students for how to get prepared for the job market as soon as you start the program. It was good to have a gradual introduction to job assistance right away and throughout the program. I highly recommend this course! Another big take away is they teach you how to learn new concepts and software in the development field.

Enrolling in Actualize was the greatest decision I ever made. I needed to be pushed. Dani was an incredible lead instructor, very caring, entertaining, funny and positive. she kept me focused and motivated and gave me the personal attention & occasional ass-kicking I needed. Lisa the career counselor was a very helpful and caring and involved resource, and all the TA's were super friendly and helpful as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience with Actualize and would recommend it to anyone seeking to learn to code and become established in the developer world. 

I chose Actualize because their program was the one that best fit my schedule. They offer classes that cater to both day and night time schedules. This led me to pick the night time cohort because this allowed me to work during the day and attend classes at night. Also the Chicago location for their school is close to the Loop and is readily accessible via public transportation which made it convenient for me to attend.

The greatest strength of Actualize is that its technical staff is composed of teachers that happen to know coding. This might seem like a minor detail but this is what distinguishes Actualize from other coding schools. A programmer might be able to repeat information to a potential student but that does not mean that they can teach. Becuase of the teacher first emphasis that the founder uses to develop the course curriculum, key concepts are not simply memorized but synthesized for later lessons.

I recommend Actualize to people who want to have fun while they learn. I never felt like the staff were administrators that assigned my coursework but rather they were more like friends and family to me. Also, while Actualize places a heavy focus on teaching Ruby don't be concerned that its not on the list of programming languages that are "hot" right now. Ruby is a solid foundation to learn the fundamentals of coding and a good springboard for a student to be able to learn future languages.
