Constructor Academy

The Data Science program is fantastic, supported by a competent, friendly, and helpful team. The approach is very ‘hands-on’ and problem oriented, letting you dive right in. But no need to worry: you are supported at every step of the way by the instructors and the teaching assistant. Thanks to Propulsion Academy, I have had the opportunity to develop a research project I really like and get funding from the Swiss National Science Foundation. More importantly, it has given me the knowledge and confidence to move towards a field of work I had always been interested in but never dared approach before. Registering for this course is the best professional decision I ever took!

Having background in life sciences and a limited programming experience, I was not sure what to expect before starting the Data Science bootcamp. Quite early in the course, however, it became apparent where it all is going: the participants are exposed to the multitude of topics comprising this field and get a taste of most of them by solving provided assignments. With a constant flow of new information, it never gets boring - on the contrary, carefully selected teachers with their various backgrounds strive every day to satisfy our never-ceasing appetite for knowledge. The challenging capstone project with the final presentation was a perfect cherry on the cake. Overall, an invaluable and definitely life-changing experience.

Propulsion Academy boot camps opens new possibilities for the people that are looking for a change in their lives. From the prep-work through the classes, the program is very carefully structured. Lectures are provided by developers with many years of experience, who are able to answer all of your questions. During the whole program, you are supported by teaching assistants helping you understand new materials and resolve challenges. They also do not forget about maintaining a good atmosphere and integration within the group. For me, Propulsion Academy was the hope of finding my place on the Swiss job market. They not only taught me how to code but they also helped me believe in myself.

Given my limited background with programming, I didn’t think it would be possible for such a program to take me to a junior full-stack developer level. I did my due diligence and looked at other options. I finally chose Propulsion because the interaction with the staff had been the most professional (very quick responses to emails, well-structured personal technical interviews to be accepted into the program). Additionally, the curriculum seemed to be the most advanced, focusing on languages and frameworks that are needed for modern software development. And I wasn't disappointed: the journey had been demanding, but the TAs were very supportive and even came in on weekends to make sure we got the most out of the program. Upon completion, I sent out about ten applications and was invited to six interviews within one month. Needless to say, I got what I wanted out of the program and can definitely say that Propulsion has given me a very solid basis to build upon.

After graduating from university, I found myself in a role that was not technical enough to stimulate my intellectual curiosity nor could ensure a long-term future. Software development was definitely the way to go, but how would I get there? Except for the many resources online that taught you the specifics of virtually any tool, but no all-encompassing overview of the whole field of software engineering, I was on my own. The Full-Stack program not only taught you to think like a software engineer, but also gave you career-related resources beyond the education: professional connections, mentoring, CV editing, and ample opportunities to prove yourself to the public. Propulsion Academy's no-nonsense approach to teaching modern technologies was a perfect and it was not long before I found a job as a Software Engineer!

After 2 year-long career break, I finally decided to switch from Process Engineering to Software Development. I did some online courses during this time, but always felt it was not enough to land a job. Propulsion Academy became a place for me to grow into a developer. The well-thought-out roadmap and time efficiency of the program made me confident to pick up any framework or web-technology and make it work. I did not only acquire the most in-demand skills in the industry but also felt very welcome in a warm and inviting culture and had valuable career support after I was done as a student. The program finished with a happy ending as I was hired by one of the instructors as a Full-Stack Developer. Challenging, motivating, just great!

Propulsion Academy has been a great experience and helped me approach the career that I’ve been heading for. In addition to my recent Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zürich, this coding bootcamp made the difference and opened new opportunities. The course focuses on very relevant topics and skills with the goal to make the candidates attractive for employers in the field of software development. With a set curriculum and competent supervision, an environment for fast and high quality learning is provided. On top of all, the Propulsion Academy team puts emphasis on networking opportunities and guide the students in the process of figuring out the next step in their career.

The curriculum was very good but still had room for improvement here and there. The instructors' quality vary but is generally very good. The founder of Propulsion Academy is behind this project with all his heart and puts a lot of individual attention and consultation to each student during the course. Thanks to the bootcamp I landed a software engineering position and I would've never passed the interview without Propulsion Academy. I also feel like I had a kickstart on my new job, thanks to the very relevant curriculum. I also enjoyed the nostalgia from the classroom experience and bonding with very interesting people that do the course too.

I took the online Data Science class at Constructor this winter, and after researching and calling multiple academies, I chose Constructor for two key reasons: they are smaller than most other academies and have a significantly better teaching assistant-to-student ratio.Their hybrid approach—combining online and on-site students—works surprisingly well. In my group, there were only two on-site students and I was the sole online participant. Mornings were dedicated to lectures from experienced industry experts or university professionals, while afternoons focused on hands-on coding exercises. What truly stood out was the ample opportunity to discuss and deeply understand the material with our dedicated teaching assistant, whom we shared among just three students.A second small group in Zurich followed the same curriculum, with their own teaching assistant and only three students as well. I even joined them on-site for three weeks, including the final project, which allowed me to connect with everyone in person. The atmosphere was supportive, human-centered, and up to date, featuring experts from both startups and established companies like Google.Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I highly recommend it!

 Constructor is the best training academy for anyone looking to enhance their technical skills. It helped me learn new technologies and gain hands-on experience with projects. The teachers and tutors are highly knowledgeable and provide detailed guidance in problem-solving. The HR team also offers consistent support. The job training at Constructor is excellent, as it helps candidates build strong CVs. Additionally, after the training, there is one-on-one follow-up until you secure a new opportunity. 😊 

I was looking for a data science bootcamp where I could build upon my existing skills, and I am happy that I chose Constructor Academy. Despite my previous familiarity with data management and statistics, I was an outsider to information technologies. Data science bootcamp at Constructor Academy helped me to bridge the gaps. It has a comprehensive curriculum that enables you to acquire any missing skill relevant for data science, from coding best practices to MLOps and everything in between. Moreover, it does so by challenging you to constantly improve, not in a superficial way. With this bootcamp, you have the opportunity to get from zero to hero in any meaningful aspect of data science. And in the end, you put your skills to test on a real business problem, in collaboration with a real business, which gives a very good sense of what being a data scientist is all about.

I highly recommend Constructor Academy's Data Science Bootcamp. It offers a comprehensive curriculum that is constantly updated to include new technologies in this ever-changing field. Most of the instructors and technical assistants come from industry, and there are many hands-on exercises and team projects to prepare you for real-world challenges.

Working on real-world projects allowed me to apply what I learned and gain practical experience, and the career services team was excellent in preparing me for job interviews and connecting me with potential employers.

I recently completed a Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp in Zurich back in 2022, and let me tell you, it was quite the ride! The experience was intense, but boy, did I learn a lot.

One of the best parts of the bootcamp was the social aspect. We had a fantastic time together, bonding over our shared journey into the world of web development. It was great to have a supportive community cheering each other on.

Now, let's talk about the teachers. They were very professionals. Always there to lend a hand, explain complex concepts, and push us to reach our full potential. And let's not forget about the Teaching Assistants. They were there with us every step of the way, guiding us both professionally and mentally.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience. Sure, it was intense, but the knowledge gained and the friendships formed made it all worth it. If you're considering a Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp in Zurich, I highly recommend it. You won't regret it!

Constructor Learning's fullstack bootcamp was a game-changer for my front-end career! In just three months, they equipped me with the skills needed to start in the industry. The hands-on approach and collaborative learning environment gave me real-world experience and sharpened my practical abilities. The career services support provided by several teachers/mentors was outstanding. Thanks to their assistance, my current employer reached out to me shortly after completing the bootcamp. I highly recommend it to aspiring developers.

I started the bootcamp with no prior programming knowledge and it was an amazing experience to look at what I was able to do at the end of the program. The instructors and TAs were incredibly supportive and also create an amazing environment. Moreover, the curriculum was super extensive and complete. 

Additionally, they offer al lot of support for looking for jobs during and after the bootcamp. 

It was a great experience and recommend it to anyone who wants to enter to the programming world
