My TrueCoders advanced technical training experience was wonderful. The instructors, available study groups, Discord channel of classmates and alumni, and career services components set TrueCoders apart from other bootcamps. They value establishing and keeping relationships, and they set you up for success with coding content knowledge and how to approach your job hunt.

Prior to attending Codesmith, I pursued a career as a healthcare professional, investing seven years of my life to earn an advanced degree. However, upon venturing into the real world, I was taken aback by the rapid pace at which healthcare companies exhaust their professionals for the sake of financial gains. Overbooking, subpar care quality, inadequate compensation, and stymied long-term growth opportunities left me disheartened with healthcare as a whole. The whirlwind of COVID-19 served as the final catalyst, prompting me to seek an alternative path. It was during this time that one of my closest friends, a Senior Software Engineer, recommended a switch in careers. He recommended that I pursue a boot camp, and after conducting thorough research and considering various factors, I found that Codesmith consistently delivered the most exceptional outcomes, making it the clear frontrunner in my rankings.

During my search for programs, I simultaneously pursued Harvard's CS50 course. As I delved deeper into the requirements for admission to Codesmith, I shifted my focus from C to Javascript, immersing myself in the fundamentals through CSX and Eloquent Javascript. Additionally, I dedicated myself to self-teaching data structures and algorithms by solving Leetcode problems, laying the groundwork for a successful job search after graduation. Months of consistent effort in preparation for the technical interview paid off, as I was fortunate enough to secure acceptance on my initial attempt—a noteworthy achievement given the high selectivity of Codesmith. Recognizing the program's rigorous standards, I made the decision to invest in a new Macbook Pro, a decision that proved invaluable, as I encountered no compatibility issues throughout the duration of the program. 

Life during Codesmith offers a profoundly distinct experience. It demands unwavering dedication and investment in personal growth, as well as a collective commitment to the success of one's peers. It is a journey that requires pushing oneself beyond perceived limitations and persistently striving to overcome obstacles. Days consisting of 10-12 hours of intense learning and perseverance become the norm, with some individuals choosing to extend their efforts beyond the structured schedule. The program unfolds in two distinct phases: the initial half, characterized by structured classes and learning modules, and the latter half, where the true essence of learning emerges through project work. My overall experience with Codesmith was truly exceptional. From day one, the atmosphere fostered empathy and kindness among the cohort, and this sentiment resonated with my personal encounters. Whether offering assistance or receiving help, each interaction was infused with a sense of fulfillment and compassion. The main instructors, mentors, and teaching fellows showcased exemplary skills and dedication. I attribute the extraordinary quality of my experience to Codesmith's meticulous vetting process and the nurturing environment they cultivated. Our class made it a collective goal to ensure that every individual felt comfortable with each topic, readily providing tutoring and support to one another. The unwavering commitment to high standards and positive vibes permeated throughout, leading to a transformative and life-changing experience.

Upon graduating from Codesmith, one swiftly realizes that the journey has only just begun, and it is an exhilarating prospect. The growth potential that lies ahead over the next 3-6 months is nothing short of inspiring. Personally, I was picky with the roles I applied to and only did 200 applications, which ultimately led me to secure my first role. In contrast, some of my peers took a more extensive approach, submitting 2-4 times that number. Unlike traditional universities, Codesmith does not simply hand you a diploma and bid you farewell. It is more akin to an anti-university, placing little emphasis on pedigree, titles, or mere pieces of paper. Instead, Codesmith's core values revolve around tangible outcomes. Remarkably & deservingly, many individuals in my cohort have successfully secured senior positions or are earning annual salaries exceeding $150,000. The support provided by Codesmith extends far beyond your initial job search. They offer comprehensive career assistance, regardless of whether you are seeking your first job or embarking on your third. While there were moments of discouragement during my own job search, they were fleeting thanks to the unwavering encouragement and motivation provided by the support team and my fellow peers. Eric Kirsten was of immense help during the process, providing positive encouragement and real-life stories to aid in the hunt.

Overall, if you are looking to change careers to be a Software Engineer, I give Codesmith my highest review. Keep in mind it will take a long time of grit and grind, but it will pay dividends. If you are interested in pursuing software engineering, I would teach yourself a first language and dig deep into if this is something you want to pursue. Allot at least a year for the full transition, and expect to give it your all each and every day. 

I had a great experience at Hack Reactor. I appreciated the preparation that was required before enrolling in the course because it gave me a chance to see if I like coding before committing to the immersive.

DataCamp for Classrooms provides a complimentary six-month group subscription to academic courses.  I have been using DataCamp as part of the data science courses I teach for several years.  It provides extra resources for instruction or assignments and my students love it.

I am a database developer working for over 20 years in this area. I love database development and I also love learning new things. I started learning web development some years ago, but I never worked professionally with it. So, I decided to take the Code Institute "Free 5 Day Coding Challenge" first and then I got accepted to the Code Institute "Diploma in Software Development (e-Commerce Applications)" course via Springboard.

From my experience and after completing the course, I can say the following.

The content of this course is great. It is suitable for both those who have no previous programming experience and those who have programming experience and just want to learn more about web development, like me.

Of course, as it is an online platform, the student must adapt to it and accept that the course is prepared to reach a large number of people. You should not assume the course will be tailor-made for you.

The Code Institute team is great, supporting anything you ask, as long as you follow the rules. You just need to take your learning experience seriously and get in touch immediately whenever you have any difficulties.

The rules are pretty clear. You must read and follow them, respecting the deadlines and contacting the Code Institute to temporarily block your access and postpone your deadlines, if there is any personal or professional situation preventing you from studying and progressing in the course, so that you have time to successfully complete the course after this situation is resolved.

My learning experience with Code Institute was very pleasant. I look forward to applying what I learned and continuing to learn.

Product Gym has everything about getting a product manager job down to a science, though you have to do the work to succeed. How to write a resume and how to interview (every step of the way, every kind of interview), including specific interview types, are all explained. The FAANG companies are covered, as well as specific types of interviews along each step of the process. There are regular coaching calls, and many different ways to practice. If you want a product management job, this is the place to go to get one.

I am an Electrical engineer by degree who needed to break out of the career choice and find a new field.  When looking into software programs, I reviewed a dozen before choosing devCodeCamp.  I found their curriculum to be challenging, intense, and fun!  I know what I want to do with my life at this point and that is due to the devCodeCamp program. I love coding and the 16-week program was thorough with instruction that was exceptional. The teachers were there for every step and they made sure you did your due diligence through each section of learning. Honestly, I now miss going to class! Now I'm working with the Carrer Services group at dCC and it's been very helpful and I have hopes of finding a software position soon.

I am a student of Microverse and can confidently say that Microverse is the perfect place for people who wants to become a Full Stack Developer. Here, they do not just teach you how to code but also take you through the real professional environment of a developer.
Every week they assign us a real-life project and a coding team with a dateline strictly to be followed. This has made us better at communication skills while building up all of our technical knowledge. The strict dateline they give us forces us to plan ahead and improve our time management skills.
Joining the software development program at Microverse has been the best decision I have made in my career. They do not just teach you how to code but also help you become marketable in the job market. Plus, you don’t have to pay anything until you get a job!
Thank you Microverse!

General Assembly's Software Engineering Immersive (remote) has far exceeded my expectations of what a bootcamp can do for its students.  Over the course of 12 weeks, I learned more than I possibly could have imagined on day one with incredible support from my instructors, TAs, and outcomes coach.  These instructors really care about your success and prepare you not just to be a good software engineer, but a great employee who can work independently and actively contribute to a team.  Would suggest this bootcamp to anyone interested in coding but would highly recommend you try some coding lessons independently first to make sure this is a field you want to dive into.   10/10 experience, it will forever change my life.

I really enjoyed the training. I'm very interested in the tech industry and I'm very happy that I was able to change my career path. I learned a lot and the instructors were happy to answer my questions. I'm still looking for a job, the first interviews gave me a lot of confidence.

The content has been exactly what I expected and I was not disappointed. They go out of their way to make this as simple as possible. The team has been very responsive when asking questions on the Slack channel. When I contacted the team due to a family crisis they were completely sympathetic and agreed to pause my course time limit while I sorted my family life out. In a time of absolute chaos for me, the UXDI team was really understanding. They allowed me to start the clock where I let off. I am truly grateful. They'll never understand how helpful that was to know I could focus on my family. 

The course content was great from start to finish. When I had questions they were great on Slack ready to jump into your figma file to see if they could sort out a specific thing I was trying to do. I would recommend this course over and over again. Glad I chose UXDI. 

I recently completed the 4-month ML Specialization at Zaka. The journey was both challenging and rewarding. With a comprehensive curriculum and guidance from dedicated instructors, I gained a deep understanding of Machine Learning. The program concluded with a hands-on project, allowing me to apply what I learned in a real-world context. 
If you're aiming to elevate your ML skills, this course is a top recommendation.

I ran across Launch School after about a year of trying to teach myself coding with low-cost
online resources. I was working full-time, and my efforts up to that point had not been too
successful. But the moment I started reading Launch School materials was the moment my
studies started building towards something bigger. “This process will take longer than you
want it to, but if you take your time and do things the right way, it will be worth it.” It was a
message I didn’t really want to hear after I had already put a year into the effort, but a
message I knew that I needed to hear anyway. No other course I had tried was stating this
truth so clearly and honestly. I knew up front that the first two or three months of Launch
School would cover material that I already knew well, and I would feel a bit frustrated at
first about “starting over”. Nevertheless, I jumped in right away, with the realistic
expectation that it might take another two years or more before I could accept a job offer.

Friends and family were incredulous when I shared my excitement about this program, but
there was no reason for me not to be hopeful. The pedagogy–starting from the ground up,
building mastery of fundamentals, verifying the knowledge of students before allowing
them to continue, and slowly building confidence through that verification–made all the
sense in the world to me. And Launch School had the results to back up their claims, not only
with numbers, but with real people. Engineers with credentials, people who had been
through the process and were now working for amazing companies, were hanging around
in the chat channels, answering questions and talking about their work. I trusted the
process from the beginning because I was convinced that everything about Launch School 
was genuine.

To make a long story short, the process worked. The Core Curriculum taught me the
fundamental concepts I needed, and at my own part-time pace. Capstone extended and
integrated that knowledge by cultivating it in a dedicated, full-time, team-based
environment. Working every day with other students, and with program graduates as
mentors, I was able to learn interviewing skills and contribute to the development of an
amazing product. I began to feel proficient. Capstone prepared me so well for the hiring
process that, once I finally started interviewing, I was full of confidence, and there were no
surprises. I knew I belonged in those hiring pools because Capstone had given me the
preparation I needed.

After finishing Capstone, I secured a job as a Senior Software Engineer within six weeks,
with essentially the Capstone average salary–a higher salary that I had originally hoped for.
Now it’s been a year since I graduated. I’m at a company where I love to work, and I’m able
to jump into any task or project that interests me and find my way thanks to my strong 
background in the fundamentals. I work at a company that supports continuing education,
gives me a voice in what projects I work on, and has a clear path to promotion and career
development. My family is able to buy a new house. And honestly, this is all thanks to Launch
School. I was nowhere close to making this kind of progress after a year of self-study. But
after less than two years in Launch School, I had everything that I needed to get a great job 
as an engineer and build a lifelong career. The same has been true for many others, and I 
would recommend Launch School, the Core Curriculum and Capstone, as an excellent 
choice for anyone who is interested in starting a career in software engineering.

I got my dream job 4 month after completing the bootcamp, and I am so happy! Now I have been working at this job for 3 months. My coworkers told me they really liked my portfolio when they interviewed me, and I thank to IxDF's bootcamp for that! My mentor Karl is THE BEST. He went above and beyond to critique my portfolio and help me craft my interview case study. Highly recommend IxDF to anyone!

My experience with The School of IT was very  transformative, equipping me with the practical skills and confidence to get into software engineering . I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an intensive and impactful learning experience.One on one online classes, you have the tutor's full attention. You can ask as many questions as you want without worrying about other students. 

Initially joining and being interested in RevoU was an accident, because I saw an advertisement then became interested and finally registered as one of the students at RevoU.
With an education base that is quite different from what is studied at RevoU, at the beginning it was quite difficult to adapt to the material, but because it was determined to complete this stage, then everything was done so that it could follow the lessons given
Complete curriculum, cool teachers, team leaders who are so full of support are also one of the reasons to continue to survive and be able to complete all lessons and assigments given every week
Finally, learning at RevoU is really cool if you don't join and become part of it.

I'm so glad I stumble into RevoU ads in social media, and without a doubt (except for the tuition) I sign up for the full program. I took Data Analytics program. The curriculum is great, learning module are extensive, but sometimes felt too dense, and instructor quality could've been better. I'm a little bit left behind on first module, which is the most important part of the industry: "Understanding Business Problem", because the instructor can't explain it well. It's not just me, but even my team lead encourage us to put it in feedback form. Meanwhile, on other section (class), they have no problem with their instructor throughout the course. 

So, I think RevoU should choose instructor that not only good on their jobs technically, but also have communication skill to share it to students, and apply it for the entire section group for each module. 

Another pros are RevoU assignments quality. Its really challenging and close to real world problem. Even though I think RevoU could do better on spreading learning module to entire week. My close IT-person circle said it's almost impossible to master Python in just 3 weeks. Yet, we did it, with blood sweat and tears.

Last but not least. I love small little details added on the program. Such as Menti Quiz (pre-test about today's learning material, and you can get awarded as King/Queen Menti if you winning it often), tebak-tebakan or free drawing on screen during 5 minute break, even (not so small and easy) Python Competition, to encourage students participation during class, and instructor appreciation for top score students who accomplished their optional assignment.

Overall, my 13 weeks in RevoU is a journey I will never forget and I believe this will be my solid rock stepping stone to my next career path. Thank you RevoU.

Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to break into a data analytics role. It has the right mix of learning resources that is easy to follow and helps you stay on track with a nice motivational layout. You learn popular tools currently being used in Analytical roles.

When I saw all those Instagram posts from Yellow Tail Tech graduates talking about how they loved the program, I got really curious. As a truck driver, I thought I could never find something to help me learn and grow in the IT field but those posts caught my attention, so I decided to give Yellow Tail Tech a try. Let me tell you, my experience with Yellow Tail Tech has been hard and amazing. Our instructor, Georges. He takes his time to explain things in a way that even someone like me, who's not too familiar with IT, can understand. The recorded Zoom sessions are incredibly valuable. If I need to go back and review something or make sure I understand it right, I can just watch the recorded sessions again. It's super helpful, especially during the live sessions with David when I get to ask questions. And everyone in the class is involve and active. This program genuinely prioritizes the success of its students, I feel lucky to have found this program.

 I would recommend DigitalCrafts to anyone that is committed to transitioning into full-stack software development. During the 17-week full-time program I experienced tremendous growth and was able to build much greater things than I expected. On the 17th week I was accepted into an internship and it's because of this bootcamp. During the full-time bootcamp it is up to you and how hard you are willing to apply yourself during this time. If you need to recharge, recharge. However, if you have free time, commit it to learning new technologies or improving existing skills. As I write this, I am now familiarizing myself with an entirely new codebase and beginning work with 40 other developers. The curriculum keeps you moving and lays an important foundation for new developers. Also, I would recommend Veronica as an instructor. If you're willing to work hard and you aren't just trying to "get by" - this bootcamp will be great for you. 

A little over 10 years ago I joined CCS's Data science and data engineering Bootcamp. The program was extremely thorough, 
well-structured, and top-notch. The coursework, assignments and live projects challenged me to push my limits, and equipped 
me with in-demand skills using the suite of MS SQL Server software. With that discipline, confidence and the right mindset, 
I have worked on projects for nationally and globally-recognized companies through their exceptional placement support.

I would highly recommend CCS Learning Academy to anyone who wants to make a career in Data Science and is looking for guidance!
