Coming from an IT and Computer Science background, joining Hacktiv8’s Full Stack JavaScript program still felt like taking a major leap. Even with my technical foundation, I started almost from zero in real-world web development. The program pushed me far beyond theory — I built hands-on projects, learned industry-level tools, and developed practical skills that I had never touched before.

Career Switcher and Non-IT Bootcamp Friendly
Bootcamp yang cukup menegangkan but alhamdulillah bisa survive sampai graduates, bootcamp ini sangat baik untuk yang baru mau mulai switch career ke software engineer terutama untuk yang dari Non-IT, karna saya lulusan manajemen. tapi perlu di ingat bahwa harus siapkan mental dan niat yang kuat untuk bisa survive sampai akhir karna materi yang dipelajari sangat banyak dan bener bener padat. - Devy M SWeb Developer • Graduate • Night Bootcamp Back End Golang • JakartaVerified by GitHubOct 15, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Hard, but I finished
At first I doubted a short bootcamp could make me ready for real backend work. It was tough, I hit a lot of tricky bugs and spent many late nights fixing them. Instructors pushed me to fix things properly. I learned how to build and run simple microservices and connect them to databases and APIs. If you want practical backend skills and are switching careers into backend, it works, especially if you can handle the pressure. - Dewi AminahGraduate • Full-time Bootcamp Full Stack JavaScript Immersive • TangerangVerified by GitHubOct 01, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
No IT Background? No Problem
As someone from a non-IT background, joining Hacktiv8 Full Stack JavaScript really felt like a big jump for me, but I’m so glad I did it. The program is tough, but super hands-on. You’re not just reading or watching stuff, you’re actually building real projects. The instructors always have your back, and it’s great having supportive classmates who help you get through the tough days. The career counseling and mental health support made a real difference too.

Hacktiv8 is an intense, well-structured bootcamp teaching full-stack web development and real-world projects. It not only covers coding fundamentals but also pushes you to think about real impact and monetization.

Hard, but worth it.
Arguably, best JavaScript bootcamp out there especially in Jakarta. The curriculum is great, from basic fundamentals to TypeScript and React Native you can probably only get those in Hacktiv8 Indonesia. I am not gonna sugarcoat it, but it is not the easiest and probably the hardest phase in your life but believe me, it is worth your time especially if you are interested in Web Development - Gabriela VaniaGraduate • Full-time Bootcamp Full Stack JavaScript Immersive • TangerangVerified by GitHubSep 29, 2025Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
