The Best Kansas City Coding Bootcamps Of 2023

"I decided to embark on this course because I like technology and I was drawn to the idea of becoming a software developer. I retired as a classical ballet dancer after 20 years and decided to completely change my field of study, which required a tremendous emotional storm. However, through methodical study and measured approach, I always stayed present and never got ahead of my own thoughts.

I enjoyed every single challenge, but the biggest one is working accurately in such a short time. A three-hour class may seem long, but I assure you, it's not enough time. You need to always work ahead.

My humble advice to other students: if you are going to do the bootcamp, I can tell you, it is worth the time and effort. There is so much infrastructure around that will help you succeed, but you have to be willing to put in the hours (and endure some mental strain). As a retired ballet dancer who was used to moving and exercising for over 8 hours a day, in terms of mental effort, this bootcamp was the hardest thing I have ever had to do in my life: and I would do it again if I had to. I enjoyed every second of it."

Can absolutely recommend this program if you are interested in getting into Ed Tech sales and see yourself working with schools and school districts (bringing them up-to-date technology). First week is going to be theory and role plays. All coaches are super positive, encouraging and supportive. You will do a lot of homework - but it is worth it. Starting from the second week you are basically diving into real Ed tech SDR full-time job life through working for one of the partner companies - with meetings, coaching/mentorship, prospecting etc. As for me - I can’t imagine better start, I was in Hillary’s team and she is amazing (truly cares her team members grow and succeed), I was getting all needed attention, knowledge and support. Teammates - positive and supportive (If I needed something and couldn’t do/find it as a beginner - someone from the team was ready to help). As a result - I’ve got knowledge of need-based SaaS sales, learned Salesforce/Salesloft/Wingman, got experience in sequencing, adding/qualifying leads, cold calling (64+ calls per day), having conversations with prospects, leaving voicemails, working with emails and appointments setting. Trainings with Maurice and Hilary were useful and inspiring. Thank you, all Fuel Sales team for such an opportunity!

I enrolled into Nucamp because the courses seemed to be inline with what I wanted to learn to become a Back End Software Engineer. Going through this first course, I firmly believe this has been the best thing for me! I'm extremely happy I decided to enroll into this bootcamp and can't wait to utilize what I learn to a future Software Engineering role!

I started LC101 in October 2018 and was placed in an apprenticeship as a full stack developer on the last day of September, 2019. After the 6 month apprenticeship I was hired as a full stack developer.

LC101 met 3 hours, 2 days per week for 6 months but required 15 hours or more work outside of class to keep up with the workload. After LC101 I attended Liftoff, a 2 month LaunchCode program to get you ready for interviews, help with building a portfolio and a resume. After Liftoff, I was accepted into the apprenticeship program. LaunchCode got me 2 interviews and on the second, I was hired as a LaunchCode contractor. At the end of 6 months, I was hired as a software developer.

I think that the main takeaway is that this program works but you have to be ready to put in the work if you want results.

 This is an immersive 12 week boot camp with dedicated instructors and staff guiding you along the way.  The curriculum is extensive and comprehensive. I was definitely intimidated at several points, but staff is eager for students to learn and answer questions and tutor if necessary.  Job assistance is an exceptionally valuable resource, providing unwavering support in propelling students towards a highly advantageous career trajectory.
