The curriculum is on point ,the intership is yours if want it , but I wasnt too impressed with the mentors except for 1 .I didnt think they were nice ,they were not responsive .But they are very competent programmers but they need to accomodate weirdos like me ,Larreth Jimu of Melsoft Academy

My Melsoft Experience
Wow, where do I even begin? My time at Melsoft has been absolutely fantastic! As I'm nearing the end of my bootcamp, I can't help but reflect on how amazing it's been. The bootcamp provided hands-on courses where we worked on real projects, giving us a taste of what it's like in the real world. The courses are intense and move quickly, so they require commitment and focus. Luckily, I was really dedicated to learning and knew exactly what I wanted.

The courses are intense and move quickly, so they require commitment and focus. Luckily, I was really dedicated to learning and knew exactly what I wanted.
The course instructors are incredibly experienced and have a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that even beginners, like myself, can understand. Plus, the mentors and other students are always there to lend a hand when needed. One of the best things about the bootcamp is the abundance of opportunities it offers. When they say "internship guaranteed," they really mean it. Every student gets their money's worth, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to break into the tech industry.
I also want to mention how supportive and dedicated the founders are. They're truly committed to reducing youth unemployment in South Africa, and it's inspiring to see their passion for making a difference.

World class
I’ve tried learning to code using Coursera courses but I always found myself quitting. But with the support I get from the mentors at Melsoft (especially Laurice!) I’ve never made so much progress before. Course content is really easy to understand, wouldn’t change anything about it.

A community that has changed my life
The best decision ever was joining Melsoft Academy! You're never alone with their tight-knit community of students and mentors. I loved building real projects and learning from my classmates. The mentors always have your back, and the owners work tirelessly until every graduate lands a tech job. No experience is needed - they prep you for success! I wouldn't be where I am without Melsoft's invaluable training, network and nonstop support. - Catherine MStudent • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineAug 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best Educational Decision I've Made
First and foremost, some of my peers who haven't graduated have already gotten jobs through MA. Their job guarantee is the best part. I love the community and the way Melsofters push each other to do better and become more competent every single day. I can't believe I wanted to spend 3 years pursuing a job when Melsoft does it in 6 months. Highly recommend. - Nompumelelo ModisaneTech Virtual Assistant • Student • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineJul 26, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
