Software Engineering (Part-Time) Reviews

My overall experience in the course was amazing, given the context that I just started transitioning to a tech role, coming from an entirely different one (healthcare role). I took the part time Software Engineering course, which ran for 6 months, with classes every Tuesdays and Thursdays (3 hours) and fortnightly on a Saturday (about 6 to 8 hours). I believe that this pace was quite helpful for me in the sense that I didn't need to absorb new information all-at-once and at the same time, still continue to do my day job. The course contents were pretty concise enough to give me an idea of the essential tools and processes to use in software engineering. It may not be everything, but they did what they can in the span of 6 months (+ allowing us time to build our capstone project in the last 2 to 3 weeks, combining everything we've learned). Mirza, our instructor, was consistent with his classes, utilising every time provided and showing flexibility by asking the cohort how he can be helpful to us in how we'd spend our times in the classes, should we have spare times. He was also there to offer support, when we need it. The student support staff were also responsive in our queries. Arshdeep was kind enough to check-in on me every now and then to see how I was going and to provide the next steps when I miss a class. Lastly, I have been enjoying the job outcomes information, with Komal as my contact person. I still haven't used much of it, as I just recently finished the course. In saying this, they still offer access to the job outcomes 12 months after the end of the course, which is helpful as I will soon look for software engineering jobs. Would I highly recommend this course? I definitely would, especially if you are someone who would want to know what's out there when starting over as a software engineer. It is going to be definitely a lot information-wise, but it's lovely to have a "why" as you take the course, and hopefully have a supportive instructor, and other like-minded students in the cohort. Wish you all the best!

Took the part time 6 month course. Though it was full on, I got to learn what the current industry practice is and am now able to build a full application with confidence. From a non IT background to a confident developer, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here with fellow students and a great trainer Mirza who guided me along the way. The best part of the entire course is the on job program. Komal is amazing, she gave us industry insights on how to crack that job.

I recently completed the Software Engineering Bootcamp at IOD/UTS, and it has been a truly valuable experience in my journey as a student. The program is well-structured and covers a wide range of industry-relevant topics within a short timeframe. While the pace can be intensive, the instructor was very supportive—always willing to provide detailed explanations and approachable whenever I needed guidance, even outside class hours.Overall, I would highly recommend the IOD/UTS Software Engineering Bootcamp to anyone serious about breaking into the tech industry. It’s a challenging, practical, and career-focused program that makes for a strong investment in both technical skills and future opportunities.
