    Challenging but are rewarding

    I think it’s a great way to break into tech or solidify pre existing web dev knowledge. Coming with zero coding experience, it will be really challenging and you’ll probably need some more months after the boot camp to practice (in order to find a job...

    This bootcamp is the best

    It was an incredible experience to learn coding from scratch. It's really tough for newcomers, but with these guys you don't have to worry about it, because they make it easy, fun and support you all the way.

    Dear Reviewer, 

    Thank you for sharing your feedback about our bootcamp. We regret that we were unable to fully investigate your concerns, as the review was posted anonymously. However, we still appreciate your input and would like to address some of the points you raised. 

    Firstly, it's important to note that a bootcamp is not equivalent to a Master's study. Our program is designed to provide practical skills and make students job-ready within a shorter timeframe. While we strive to cover essential concepts, we prioritize teaching the skills directly relevant to day-to-day work in the field. 

    Regarding the instructor, our investigation indicates that none of the scheduled courses started regularly one hour late. We have systems in place to track attendance, and multiple team members are involved in ensuring punctuality. Nonetheless, we take your feedback seriously and will investigate further to ensure consistent adherence to the schedule. 

    We apologize if you felt our job assistance was lacking. Our Career Services Team offers three full-day workshops for each batch, focusing on various aspects of the job search process. Additionally, our learning platform includes a Career Service track, providing resources and guidance. Students can also request personal CV and cover letter reviews to further support their job search. 

    Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our bootcamp experience. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly.

    We are sorry that our bootcamp did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, you did not provide any contact information, so we can neither assign which group you were in, nor contact you directly. Therefore, we ask you to contact us at info@wbscodingschool.com and give us a chance to improve our bootcamp.

    But in advance, I would like to clarify that our courses have been carefully designed for beginners and its success has already been confirmed numerous times by our students and alumni.
    The pace is appropriate for a bootcamp - a lot of content is taught in a short time, but all important content is repeated steadily, so that at the end of the bootcamp beginners are able to apply as juniors in the relevant fields.

    We are sorry that our bootcamp did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, you did not provide contact information, so we can neither assign which batch you were in nor contact you directly. Therefore, we invite you to contact us at info@wbscodingschool.com and give us a chance to evaluate when you did not receive support. 

    In addition, however, your review contains some factually incorrect statements, which we would like to comment on as follows. 
    Our lead instructors work with their students every day. The days start at 9 am with a joint stand-up meeting followed by either a lecture, workshop or one-to-one meetings. The lead instructor's help can also be requested at any time during group work in the afternoons. 

    Moreover, participants can request the support of junior instructors and mentors at any time. A booking system via Calendly is available for this purpose. In addition, all trainers and mentors, as well as every team member of the Coding School, can be contacted at any time via Discord.
