Actualize

My experience with Actualize was amazing. The instruction was clear and hands-on, and my instructor was extremely knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful. Classes felt like a mentorship more than a lecture; we worked through real problems, got constant feedback, and built projects that solidified what we learned. The program emphasizes problem-solving and practical skills, not just memorizing code, so I left feeling confident in my ability to tackle real-world development work. I would recommend Actualize to everyone, especially beginners and career-changers who want strong fundamentals and caring, experienced instructors.

As a person that hate to study, actualize was the best, at first i pick them because they give you the laptop and because the couser is not too long, but after i talk with Rena Wengrow( Awesome and really helpfull person ) she convince me and she wasn't wrong, i really enjoy the curse, Brian is an awesome teacher and so helpful too the way he explain the things and how the curriculum is build also help the teacher to give a good learning experience. I would definitely recomend Actualize, but because is just 5 months you have to really focus on it, you have to really want to be a software developer, if you can focus for 5 months and commit to learn and practice a lot definitely Actualize would work for you!!

Joining this bootcamp not only taught me in demand web development skills but also was extremely enjoyable. My cohort was full of amazing students all eager to learn and help each other and Peter, the instructor, was the best teacher I have ever had (I graduated with a 4 year engineering degree from a top university). You could tell that the program is centered around the students and the instructor really wants to see everyone learn and succeed. Whether you are coming from a technical or non technical background, if your goal is to learn web development skills then look no further as this in my opinion the best option currently. The job support is also top tier as they have dedicated professionals helping tailor your resume and job search for the types of roles you are looking for. Overall Actualize was a great experience and my future self will be thanking me for joining.

After doing so much research on which coding BootCamp to pick, I'm really glad I picked Actualize. It is the perfect guide to break into the software development industry. The instructors (Peter) support you when you don't understand concepts and take extra time to work one-on-one with you. You work on projects that prepare you for the real world and collaborate with your classmates as you would your co-workers. The career support is AMAZING, Ryan is the absolute best and helped me craft my resume, LinkedIn, personal website, and more!! After you graduate you still have access to your career advisor, get a mentor, and can connect with other alum. I honestly miss being in class because I had so much fun learning and working with my instructor and other classmates. I have no doubt that if anyone took this course, they would be set up for success in this industry. 

Joining the Actualize bootcamp was a great move for me, even with a strong background in engineering and machine learning. The program focuses on full-stack development, which was the perfect way to round out my skills. The courses are well-designed to cover both front-end and back-end development comprehensively. Our instructor, Peter Jang was fantastic. He really knows his stuff and has a clear way of teaching that makes complex topics easy to grasp. This bootcamp is great for anyone like me who already knows a bit about machine learning and wants to expand their skill set into more practical areas of tech.If you’re thinking about boosting your ability to build complete applications from start to finish, this program is worth it. It not only broadens your technical skills but also improves your job prospects by making you proficient in both the back-end and front-end aspects of software development.I’d definitely recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to get practical coding experience and make their tech skills more well-rounded.

I chose to attend Actualize not just for its reputation as a top-ranked online bootcamp. After thorough research—exploring online forums and speaking with former students—I found that Actualize’s approach stood out. It emphasized critical thinking and not just teaching coding skills but also how to learn coding effectively. I was particularly drawn to the curriculum, which was led by instructors with real-world teaching experience, and the availability of an evening program. This flexibility allowed me to balance the bootcamp with my work and parenting responsibilities, which was a rare offering among other top bootcamps at the time. Additionally, Actualize’s focus on job readiness early in the program felt more authentic than the typical “job guarantee” promises, especially in today’s competitive job market.
The course was challenging but also deeply enriching. I gained a lot from the experience and appreciated the program’s depth and rigor. I would advise prospective students, depending on their learning style, to be ready to dedicate time to additional weekly learning beyond the in-class curriculum to excel. Software engineering was a tough yet rewarding journey for me, and I’m continuing to learn and grow in this field.

Actualize Coding Bootcamp stands out for their genuine human connection. After speaking with numerous coding bootcamps where I encountered robotic, script-reading representatives who barely listened to my responses, I was feeling disheartened. Then Actualize reached out based on my inquiry form, and the difference was immediate. Their email responses were prompt and personal, and my phone conversation felt like talking to a good friend.

What sealed the deal was their offer to let me sit in on a class before signing any contracts or making payments. This authentic approach carried through to our instructor, Brian, whose classes were focused, well-structured, and refreshingly honest. While learning to code is challenging, they excel at making complex concepts accessible and logical.The most valuable takeaway wasn't just learning programming languages – it was learning how to teach myself. This bootcamp is perfect for complete beginners and those with some coding experience who want to connect the dots. 

Actualize's approach to class time is refreshing – unlike other bootcamps that require 40 hours of Zoom sessions per week, their schedule is more balanced. While this means you'll need some self-discipline to study independently, it's actually a benefit. After all, spending endless hours on Zoom isn't necessarily the best way to learn coding.

Although I'm sad to see the program end, I'm grateful for the great friendships I've formed and excited to be part of their strong alumni network.

My experience at Actualize was exceptional. I gained a significant amount of knowledge in a short period, from the pre-work to the live classes. The curriculum was both comprehensive and engaging, providing a solid foundation in the subject matter. Additionally, the support offered throughout the job search process was invaluable. I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to advance their skills and career!

I had the absolute pleasure of being in this bootcamp. We had a wonderful instructor Peter Jang with patience that most saints could not muster. He was informative and fun to learn from and I came in with little to no knowledge of coding and was able to follow along and learn the basics of coding. He made sure to spark the wonder for research and figuring out the problems not just giving up and saying I don't know. He offered time and expertise in so many ways to all of my classmates we all have come so far and truly will be successful due to this course.

I was part of a January 2024 cohort (Sundays and weeknights) and I found the course to be engaging and fulfilling. A big factor in that was the small cohort size. With only 7 other people in the class, we all got to know each other well and spend plenty of time working together to solve problems and help each other out every day. In fact, I've become friends with 2 others in the class, and we plan to hold each other accountable in our job search and continuous learning.

A special shoutout is well-deserved to Peter Jang, the instructor. He was funny, had lessons that were easy to understand, and had an positive attitude that was a great motivator. He was always willing to answer any questions we asked or even offered to stay late after class to help out with tougher issues.

I also appreciated the "job hacking" portion of the class where we spent an hour every week learning how to network, get interviews, and land jobs. An hour might not sound like a lot, but we also had homework that forced us out of our comfort zone in order to get connections and find the right jobs for us.

After 5 months in the cohort, I definitely see the improvements. I couldn't see myself learning how to do a CRUD app or realizing that I love backend way more than frontend code before the beginning of the course. Now, I have multiple side projects that I want to tackle, and it's possible to do so because of the foundation created during the bootcamp.

I'm still looking for jobs, but I definitely wouldn't be as confident in my search now if it wasn't for the bootcamp and the support from instructors and classmates.

So, I'll start this off by saying this bootcamp was basically my only choice after having called at multiple different bootcamps. They were very professional at the start of me contacting them as opposed to another bootcamp that i wont mention, and slowly pushed me towards choosing them. They were very helpful and understanding of my situation and gave me options on which course to pick (they got morning and evening cohorts as of this writing) and even offered for me to take a sit in on one of their classes. Its very much a structured learning environment, i would compare it closer to maybe like, a college class with a small amount of students. Because of this I felt as though I was watched over in a good way, they pushed me to complete assignments on time even when I fell behind, but I was able to submit them at any point (this is during the first 5 weeks for the class, before any actual zoom calls). once the zoom calls started I felt a sense of accomplishment. and again after the course. In todays job market they also told me the reality that I might not get a job within a month, but that they would help us in any way they can and they gave us strategies to go about it. Overall while being the only coding bootcamp i have attended, its definitely my favorite. Especially when comparing it to my early comp sci classes where the professor could not be bothered. 

...and that's ok. I'm a graduate, so I'm still applying to things. Ask me in 6 months how I feel about my Actualize experience. But at least, right now fresh out of it I can say: I don't feel ready. But I know I *am* ready, and that's really all that counts. If you go with Actualize, there are a few things I can guarantee: (1) you'll get a teacher who cares, and is good at teaching. (2) it'll be 100% about what YOU put into it. You'll get out what you put in. Be ready to apply yourself. and (3) you will absolutely adjust to the schedule. It'll all be ok. And sooner than you know: you'll graduate.

Good luck on your school search and, should you choose to accept it, your coding journey. 

I decided to join Actualize because I wanted to get into the coding world and make a career out of it. With the help of this bootcamp I feel prepared to enter in a junior developer role. During the pre-work they teach you the basics of coding and it is self-paced. After 5 weeks of pre-work you start the live classes. The live classes is 12 weeks and they teach you all about the frontend and backend of making an app. It is Ruby/React based which is a nice easy start when you come in knowing little about coding. Overall it was an amazing experience and I definitely would recommend this bootcamp to anyone that asks "What coding bootcamps are worth it?" 

If you are someone who is new to coding and unsure of which way forward is best for you, look no further because Actualize is the BEST COURSE AVAILABLE. I could not more highly recommend this bootcamp as the overall experience was amazing and it has prepared me thoroughly for my new career as a software developer/engineer. Prior to joining Actualize, I was completely new to coding and slogging through Youtube tutorials and other self-learning materials but didn't feel that my learning trajectory was on the right path. I had actually joined a different bootcamp but had a terrible experience that lasted 3 days before dropping as their material was more advanced than advertised and my teacher there was not welcoming or helpful. Soon after, I found Actualize and the reality could not be more starkly different. Their application process was very straightforward, and Actualize was extremely transparent with their curriculum. The pre-course work with Kevin was vital to creating a great base of coding fundamentals, and the live course with Brian exceeded all of my expectations. Brian organized the class content perfectly and was extremely attentive to each individual student's needs. He took my cohort from writing loops in Ruby to making full-stack web apps, and I truly feel comfortable using Rails and React to create web apps. Don't waste anymore time on your coding journey and join Actualize now!

I decided to give Actualize a chance after my brother took this coding BootCamp. I felt like this was one of the better programs when compared to my other options. Overall it was a great experience. In total, it's about 18 weeks long because they have you do pre-course work that is all self-paced for about 4-6 weeks prior to your official start date. I think this is amazing because it gets you prepared with the basics of coding. It usually consisted of 3-4 video lectures (5-10min/each) daily with practice problems. The actual course covered backend and frontend development very well. I just wish they explained some syntax/logic a bit better on the front end. It also would've been nice if we spent a bit more time learning how to make our web apps more appealing with Bootstrap, CSS, or Tailwind. Of course, these are all things you can teach yourself outside of the course so it's not a deal breaker. For the job assistance, it's pretty average you get resume help, how to find jobs, and interview prep.

I entered Actualize Coding Bootcamp with high expectations, having been referred by two former alumni, and I can confidently say that my experience exceeded every anticipation. The only regret I have is not joining sooner! From the curriculum to the instructors and career services, Actualize has proven to be a game-changer in my journey towards web development.
The curriculum at Actualize is nothing short of superb. The pace at which I learned was astonishing, and the depth of knowledge I gained in such a short time is a testament to the effectiveness of their teaching methods. The instructors played a pivotal role in this accelerated learning journey. Kevin, who guided me through the prework, Amanda as the lead instructor, and the TAs, Kevin and Luke, were nothing short of phenomenal. Their dedication to student success was evident in their willingness to go above and beyond to help with any challenges or roadblocks.
What truly sets Actualize apart is the unwavering support system provided by the entire team. In moments of doubt and imposter syndrome, I found solace in voicing my concerns to the instructors, teaching assistants, and career advisor. No matter how many times I reached out, they were not only responsive but also incredibly supportive and encouraging. The genuine care and personalized attention I received helped me put my fears into perspective, fostering an environment where growth and overcoming challenges were not only possible but expected.
I am coming out of Actualize with a robust foundational knowledge that goes beyond just web development—it's a skill set I can use to learn new technologies and adapt to the ever-evolving tech landscape. While the journey was not without its challenges, the incredible support system of instructors, teaching assistants, and career advisors made all the difference. I wholeheartedly recommend Actualize to anyone looking to enter a coding bootcamp with a strong and nurturing support system, setting the stage for long-term success in the field of web development. My time at Actualize has been not only educational but also empowering, and I am incredibly thankful for the enriching experience.

I enjoyed my time at Actualize and especially liked my instructors. I switched from the night class to the day class due to a personal scheduling info and both Kat and Amanda were thoughtful teachers who helped guide you toward solving problems on your own. The curriculum covers both backend and frontend technologies and bounces back and forth between them which really helps build on ideas gradually rather than doing all one followed by the other. While I do feel more confident in my ability to pickup new languages, frameworks, etc., I do wish that the course spent a bit more time teaching some of the other popular coding languages. The career counselors and touching base regularly has been incredibly helpful for preparing a resume and getting ready for job interviews. I look forward to the continued career support and landing a job with my class experience!

I did a lot of boot camp research, and immediately got good vibes from Actualize.  Their website was the most transparent, with the cost, curriculum, and ethos displayed openly (whereas many boot camps require your contact info or a phone call to learn about the tuition rates).  Their professed dedication to teaching you how to continue teaching yourself post-graduation was what pushed me further toward Actualize, and they definitely delivered on that promise!  Our instructor, Amanda, was engaging, smart, funny, and always went to distance necessary to answer questions and ensure comprehension.  I was also surprised to find out that I could finance the cost (through a third party) easily, at a reasonable interest rate, and without even being employed at the time of application.  I am now-  I got my first engineering job 2 weeks before graduating from the boot camp.

I have been learning coding prior to joining the bootcamp for almost a year, but I didn't have direction in how to learn the material. With thousands of different tutorials and guides online, I didn't know where to start or go next. Actualize has provided me with a knowledge of what to learn and has taught me different libraries and frameworks(rails, react.js, vue.js, flask). The instructor I had, made the experience fun and easily graspable. The job assistance coach provided a wealth of knowledge which I didn't even know I needed. While the curriculum doesn't teach you algorithmic problems, it does provide enough knowledge to start your career and to continue teaching yourself after graduation. 

I recently finished the coding bootcamp at Actualize, and it was an amazing experience. I had zero coding background, and I was worried about understanding everything, but Actualize turned out to be the perfect fit. The teaching style at Actualize is spot on. They start from the basics and explain everything really clearly. Our instructor was not only knowledgeable but also patient, and the classes were interesting and easy to follow. Even though some of my classmates had more experience than me, everyone was friendly and always ready to help  I never felt left behind or intimidated, and I enjoyed getting to know everyone in my cohort. The days went by faster than I expected and the breaks every hour were just right, keeping the pace comfortable. The community feel was great, and it's not just about learning but also building connections for the future. Choosing Actualize was a smart move for me. I gained valuable skills, and I feel confident about starting my career in coding. If you're starting with no coding experience like me, Actualize is a fantastic choice. It's a supportive and enjoyable place to learn. Highly recommended!

For anybody who's on the fence about this school, i highly recommend it. From the beginning they were very helpful in explaining every detail and help anyone in wanting to make a transition into the coding world. The course itself was so very intense but also cool, our teacher Amanda was awesome. She was really good at explaining and letting us be hands on and actually code, instead of just theory and reading about it. I could go on and on about all the pluses, but this is definitely the best bootcamp out there and i highly recommend for anyone looking to join one.

I spent over 6 months looking for a full-stack coding bootcamp, and this one is the real deal. It is fully remote in a cohort setting with daytime or nights/weekend options. My instructor was a magical coding fairy, she was competent, funny, and able to keep all 15 of us engaged in our virtual setting. We learned more in 4 months than I could teach myself in 3 years. They have career coaching designed into the curriculum as well. Bootcamps are time-intensive and expensive, but I truly believe that I received the best value at this bootcamp, and the return on my investment will be well worth it.

This bootcamp was everything I was hoping it would be. It's my last day at the course today and all I can say is that I am so glad I made this choice. I was worried about whether or not this would give me the information I need to get a job, but now I know that they truly do set you up for success. Also my teacher, Amanda was amazing! She was great at teaching the material, was able to make it fun, and was flexible if I ever ran into problems. My classmates also only made the experience better. This was a great decision not only for learning Full Stack Web Development, but also for the people involved!

This one is the real deal people.  I'm so glad this was the bootcamp / cohort I chose.  I could tell as soon as the first class started that it was the right place and I was going to actually be picking up usable and marketable skills here.  You will learn a ton here.  Hands-on projects, with lots of back-up, resources, and support from the instructor.  They make sure to provide you with a realistic and complete view of what to expect.  Frameworks, languages, workflows, version control, team-building/team projects, career advisory and job searching.  The instructors were all great.  The career advisors were all great.  I (like a lot of other people), was overwhelmed and unsure about bootcamps, but I can assure people now, that this is one of the good ones.

I have completed Actualize's full stack web development program and it has been an incredible experience. These people care about doing a good job. These people are passionate about giving you every resource that you will need to improve yourself. They are steeped in science and experience. The instructors are awesome. I have full confidence in the bootcamp that I chose, and I am so glad I didn't end up at another one.

As someone who has worked in tech companies for many years in support roles, I always had interest in what the engineers were doing but never thought I could learn it myself. But that has changed through my time with Actualize! Going from someone who hasn't written a line of code before to now building out frontend and backend applications. I am really pleased and grateful for my time with Actualize. The pace of curriculum is challenging but manageable yet puts students in the best position to tackle future new tech and languages. My instructor Brian and our TAs Sam and Alex, were always in our corner to support us whenever  and happy to go over concepts again if need be. Thank you so much to the Actualize team and staff for all the help along the way. I couldn't recommend the course enough, so if you're looking to make the jump, I say take the chance on yourself and go with Actualize. 

In the beginning of the year, I decided to make a career pivot into programming. I explored several routes on how to break into the field, from self-teaching, bootcamps, and college courses. I initially settled on self-teaching, but after several months of tutorials with no real projects to show for it, I began to explore bootcamps more. What drew me to Actualize was the "educators first" mindset with live demoing as well as the job search support, and after starting the program, I quickly realized that this was the right launchpad for me in starting a programming career. The structured curriculum, hands-on-learning, and incredibly supportive staff made it an amazing experience. I gained full-stack web development skills, built several applications, and received invaluable guidance on the ever-daunting job search. I would recommend Actualize to anyone looking to kickstart a career as a developer. 

As someone with no experience in coding, whether it be making a webpage or even writing a line of code. I was skeptical that I could learn all of the skills I needed to achieve the goal of becoming a full-stack developer in the future. Actualize was the best decision I have ever made, from my first interaction with Serena Green, who was my liaison to get in touch with the BootCamp and answered every single question that I had from how I was going to pay for the BootCamp and how we could fit it into my schedule. Serena was so able to answer my questions that my anxiety level came down, and I felt much more comfortable with my intention to commit to the BootCamp. As the program commenced, we had a five-week prework program, which gives you the basic skills you will need during the 12 weeks in person or (online part of the course). Personally, for me, the prework section of the BootCamp was challenging. As I stated before, I had no prior experience coding. My prework instructor, Kevin Mitchell, was available for questions and online time to meet with him during office hours and if we needed scheduled time to understand a specific topic. Amanda Hale and the actual TAs (Leah and Anna) teaching my cohort were excellent; as Actualize says, they are educators first and developers second. I can not STRESS how important this was in my experience. I learned how to teach myself different frameworks and languages and now teach myself a new concept almost every time I sit at the computer. One of the standout features of the Actualize program is their career-focused push with our cohort HR guru Sara Kercher. She and Amanda are completely in your corner to ensure you have the standout features and skills that recruiters at companies are actively looking for in candidates.  Sara and the team and Actualize support you after graduation to sharpen your skills and get the job you want and deserve! I loved every moment of my time as an Actualize Bootcamp student and would recommend it to anyone searching for something special that will change their life! 

Nickhil-- Acutalize Graduate September 2023

I recently completed an inconceivable adventure with Actualize, and I couldn't be more thrilled to share my overwhelmingly positive experience. From the moment I walked through their doors, I knew I was in for something special. The program at Actualize is nothing short of stupendous. I started this journey with the goal of learning some programming languages and tools, and I was not disappointed.  I learned Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, Node.js, SQL, and Git. The depth and breadth of the program were truly impressive and sometimes overwhelming. One of the aspects that truly sets Actualize apart is their exceptional instructors. They possess an incredible depth of knowledge but also have a natural skill to express complex concepts in easy-to-understand manner.  And if I did not understand they took the time to help with that.. The support and mentorship I received were invaluable and made the learning process smooth and enjoyable. The hands-on approach at Actualize is another highlight. Real-world projects allowed me to apply what I learned in a practical context, strengthening my understanding and furthering my confidence as a developer. Collaboration is also a cornerstone of the Actualize experience. Working alongside fellow students on group projects not only improved my coding skills but also fostered a sense of teamwork and camaraderie. The career services provided by Actualize are extremely valuable. From resume building to pseudo interviews and networking opportunities. I cannot overemphasize the positive impact Actualize has had on myself. I've not only acquired invaluable technical skills but also a newfound passion for coding. The support, the knowledge, and the sense of community I gained throughout this program have been life-changing. If you are looking for a coding boot camp that offers a program curriculum, superb instructors, hands-on experience, and an unbeatable support system, look nowhere else than Actualize. I totally recommend it to anyone who wants to learn coding.

I had tried a bootcamp that was not in Zoom meetings and used reading material instead. I can definitely say that having someone demonstrate the code in first, then trying it myself helped a lot. I would run into errors that the reading material hadn't covered, so I was left to Google it myself, but I didn't always know the specifics of the problem. Having someone there, that could look at my code in real time,  and give me feedback on how to get it to work made the learning experience so much better. They even gave us advice on Googling our problems so we could find a solution, which has come in handy many times. I could not recommend Actualize more, whether you're a total novice at computers or have some basic knowledge. It has been a great learning process and definitely worth the time and money!

You do 5 month plan or do financing with sub credit 680 score. You have 5 week prework with 2-3 meetup(3hour each day) each week for learning coding basics. After 5 week you start the 5 daily meetup schedule each week. It different depend on selection but for me Class Schedule 9AM - 2PM(PST) Mon through Friday. 15 Min Break at 10AM and 11:15AM and 30 min at 12:30PM. Course format: Instructor Demo(15-30 min) follow up with student doing lesson after for 15-30 min. There are 1-2 Teach Assistant to help during your exercise time. There are before and after help 2-3 times a week with a Teach assistant. No homework but there deliberate practice checklist(programming basics, loop, each) that is helpful to work on daily basis to learn key concept. Week 1 Ruby rails basics. Week 2-4 Ruby on Rails Backend API. At End of Week 4 you will be able to crud(build) Back End API. In between you learn how to setup and use git and github. Week 5 React Crud front end. Week 6-8 introduce to front end frameworks React,Vue,bootstrap,etc. Week 9- 10 introduce to different  libraries and technologies express, flask, etc. Week 11-12 Capstone and transition out of class: alumni slack, mentor program, support systems. You have career counselor (Sara- Amazing) which go through Linkedin and other channel to get job and through out the 12 week process both in class and out of class. Meetup is through zoom and slack is use for communication. Class videos are recorded and accessible after class if you miss class. You access through out the cohort. Max 3 absent days for cohart. Support system is great for during and after class. Instructor have access to slack if you need help access after class for reference. I came from retail and able to follow class with little problem. Use your resources Teacher assistance,  instructor, career counselors, mentors. Connect with me on linkedin.com/in/trung-dinh-9513543 . If you have questions. message me on Linkedin.

When I was researching bootcamps to find one to attend, there was a common theme of negative issues for many OTHER bootcamps (high-stress, quality of instructors, 24/7 workload), but Actualize seemed to have a curriculum and a solution to each of those problems. After going through the program, I think I made the best choice possible. The instructor was amazing and had gone through the program so he knew exactly what we were going through. We also had 2 TAs for 10 students so there was always someone available for to answer our questions. Actualize emphasized continual learning and really helps set the foundation of how to go about picking up new technology and languages for after the bootcamp. While there are tough moments during the bootcamp, I never felt super stressed and always felt comfortable with what we were learning or I knew that I could easily ask for help to make me feel comfortable. The best aspect overall is also the Job Hacking where you have a dedicated Career Advisor that can help you with whatever job related item you need. It can be as broad as updating a Resume/LinkedIn Profile or as specific of helping you craft a message to network with someone on LinkedIn. The support does not stop after the bootcamp ends also, since you keep meeting with your Career Advisor after and are paired with a Tech Mentor (someone that has gone through the Actualize program and is currently working in the field). Overall the experience and the resources are amazing, and I truly enjoyed going to class each day.

When researching bootcamps, Actualize stood out to me because of their teaching methods. Actualize focuses on a "Learn to Learn" style, so we spent a great deal of time delving into the fundamentals of the coding languages we worked with and as we neared the end of our cohort, we discovered that what we had learned, could also be utilized across many other languages! The primary differences were nothing more than syntax. Our instructor, Joey, was incredibly knowledgeable & kept the class energized throughout.

I chose Actualize because of the top reviews and all the good things the previous graduates and students had to say.  I can say after taking this class I feel more confident than I honestly envisioned I would prior to graduation.  Every instructor I had enjoyed their role as teacher and was always available to answer the questions, which was one of my main concerns when choosing a bootcamp.  The coursework was carefully chosen by the members of the company to make sure we were getting the most out of the 4 months and I feel I really did get the most out of it. The job advisors were also always available and provided us with the information we need to be prepared for interviews and how to put ourselves in the best possible situation to get job offers.  I also liked how the classes aren't too big.  If this is an industry you are thinking about joining and you're looking into bootcamps I can say with confidence you can't go wrong with Actualize. 

Choosing to switch careers is nerve wracking, so picking an institution to partner with that you trust will deliver on your goals is also a scary choice to make. I chose Actualize because of their reviews and curriculum, and they absolutely delivered. My instructor was a former educator (all Actualize instructors are) and that made all the difference in the world. Teaching is one of the hardest careers out there, and teaching coding a major challenge on its own. My instructor made the foreign concepts easier to grasp, and reinforced my confidence in believing I could do it. Everything from delivery to pacing to mentorship to job searching help, to additional resources made Actualize a decision I will never regret, and I know will propel me successfully into the world of software development.
