Full Stack Web Developer - Part-Time

I found that I ended up (and still am) paying for what I felt was nothing more than a glorified YouTube channel. My first mentor was rude and I generally got the feeling that it was better to just figure it out myself. With that being said I fell behind in the curriculum because I felt it was pointless to reach out for help. I got a very strong sense of gatekeeping. This was an experience that opened the door for me yet at the same time set me back 2 years as I can't start school again until I've paid off my loan for this ultimately disappointing experience.

I wouldn’t say that I had a bad experience taking this course but I definitely think it’s overpriced. I took the part time course and the content wasn’t bad. It was Python backend and react front end with some systems design stuff. I ended up graduating relatively quickly and the main reason I signed up for this is because of their job assistance program. Everything seemed to go smoothly until I graduated. Their job assistance program is worthless unless you live in Salt Lake City. I got zero help finding a job. My advice is go to Udemy and learn there and then add a bunch of recruiters on LinkedIn. You’ll have better luck. 

I'm currently working with this program, and I would like to say that this is a self-thought program where you will need to understand that you will need to put a lot of effort to understand the topics. Also, I would like to say that their current platform has some downsides since you will have trouble communicating with people and the majority of people will not have the right answer to your questions.

Advisors are great, and they are always willing to help at any time. I love this since I don't call too often, but I would like to say that they are a good resource when you have silly problems.

The videos that they sell you are expensive, and you can find those videos on youtube and Udemy for a lower price. However, it seems that you are paying a lot for consulting, but if you find the right people you will feel ok since Google will have a lot of free resources, but one of the best things that you can do is having something that is a good structure to make sure you don't feel lost.

Also, after finish this course, I will help people to know how to code for free instead of charging a lot of money. My recommendation here for the school is to implement a different way to evaluate students, and have a better platform to maintain better communication with students. 

Another thing is that the CEO is answering these surveys and the way he is answering is not the most appropriate way since the only one that will look bad at the end is the school. 

After all, I like the school, and I like the topics from the Coding Bootcamp, but I hope people will do better in the future for future students.
