    Amazing place

    I've had a fantastic experience at Melsoft Academy! The faculty is passionate about teaching, and the facilities are modern and well-equipped. The program has helped me develop valuable skills and confidence that I wouldn't have gained elsewhere. The career support and guidance provided by the academy have been exceptional, and I'm grateful for the opportunities I've had. Five stars isn't enough – I'd give it a ten-star rating if I could!

    Edifying, Challenging, Rewarding

    I am currently 8 months into the software engineering bootcamp and since I started I have not stopped growing   .

    Awesomly cool place and welcoming

    Today is the second month in the Bootcamp and the experience is amazing. Every thing about the Bootcamp looks perfect! I get to learn a new thing in every bit of activity I carry out. If I should plot the graph of my experience so far it’d undoubtedly yield a positive graph.

     My experience so far is not limited to the above mentioned point, they are many! In one word, I can only but describe my experience so far as awesome!

    Good mentors and best course materials

     I'm grateful to be part of Melsoft Academy and I don't regret the decision I made. When I started, I had no idea how to code and wasn't even very good at using a computer. Now, I can build full-stack websites and web apps. The mentors are great and patient.

    Transformational!

    I enrolled at Melsoft coding bootcamp with little to no knowledge of software development and couldn't be happier! Melsoft has weekly meeting with fellow cohort colleagues  and with mentors. These weekly meetings foster a strong sense of community, providing valuable support and camaraderie. The gamified experience makes learning enjoyable, with points and leaderboards motivating me every step. Highly recommend for anyone serious about coding!

    Family orientated journey

    Before I even joined Melsoft, I was searching for a bootcamp that would provide me with a sense of family connection. One that would allow me to be held accountable, offer support, and not make me feel like just another number on their list. Beyond their curriculum, Melsoft welcomed me with open arms, and I have never been happier.

    I am currently halfway through my course, and it has been a journey of self-discovery. From challenging myself during peer-to-peer projects to embracin...
