    Immersive Learning Experience

    Learning from Arooj and Justin has been a life-changing experience. Besides picking up Python, SQL, and the many software packages, I really enjoyed completing the projects. Not only when I completed them on my own ahead of time but working with my peers was extremely rewarding. Taking on the large four projects were daunting at first but also meant a lot to me with each different team. Creating the connections with my classmates were important in keeping the class engaging. I had a phen...

    Great experience and detailed guidance

    I have spent a lot of time researching online on how to create my own webApp and found it to be a huge challenge being that there are so many resources online and steps required to complete a full stack webApp. Joining this Bootcamp has allowed me to closely work with the instructor to dive deep into all the necessary steps to creating a webApp. I have also had the chance to work with tutors to help me get through some tough homework assignments. I am more than halfway done with the boot...

    An absolute mind-melter

    This was one of the most intense courses I have ever taken. There was never a single time where I felt like there wasn't support when times got rough. Whether it was the instructor Paul, the TA Jonathan, my classmates, or tutors. There was always someone to help guide me through. I would recommend this course to those who want a challenge, but also have a bit of a tech background. It goes deep quickly, and it takes a LOT of personal effort to keep up. Loved every second of it

    Fantastic and Professional Coding Bootcamp

    When I originally signed up for the Bootcamp, I was extremely nervous.  I had very little coding knowledge and was driven to make a career change.

    Throughout the Bootcamp, it was evident that a lot of time and effort went into preparing each class and student assignment.  

    Our instructor would give a lesson on a new topic, and we would go into breakout rooms with other students to work on an assignment we just learned.  The instructor then reviewed the assignment with the c...

    This 12 week course, while tough, created a great foundation for my future in web development! My instructors were helpful every step of the way and always pushed me to keep going! When I feel a little behind my Success manager gave an extra tutoring session to catch up. Overall this was a great experience and I would recommend it to anyone that is looking to start a new path!

The 24-week part-time web development course is an excellent course for anyone to become a full-stack web developer. I learned new skills every week.

    A New Sense of Direction

    My consideration for this course first came from a place of a desperation. Fresh out of my battle with cancer, a stalled degree, and too much uncertainty over my future I knew I needed to gain some control over my life. So through the recommendation of some mutual friends one month after being declared cancer free I would embark on a six month journey that would leave me feeling more fulfilled than I've ever felt in my entire life.

    Useful Bootcamp for Beginners

    My recommendation for this course is rather conditional. For those who have a bit of programming knowledge already, and can handle a heavy courseload while learning new material every week I recommend this. If you take time to soak in knowledge, taking time to learn some of the starter material beforehand will definitely help.
