I signed up in July 2016 for the online bootcamp. The initial lessons were easy to grasp but as the course progressed I could not keep up.
The latter lessons were confusing and too fast-paced. I have a biology degree and could barely understand what the instructors were talking about.
I tried the online tutoring, but in the time alloted, only got 1 or 2 questons answered. In addition to having the tutor flirting with me.

By November 2016, I had tried the mock interview twice, and failed miserably. I reached out to them in December 2016, in regards to retaking the course in person. I was even willing to pay another $2000. They said they would reach back to me, and to this day I have never received a reply....
I am dissapointed I spent $2000, in good faith, and did not even get a response. They took my money and left me to my own devices, essentially.
I would not recommend the bootcamp to anyone. It was a very negative experience overall, and one of the most unprofessional situations I have encountered in my adult life.
I have since given up becoming a software engineer, due to feeling duped and mislead, and will likely never pursue it again. I am now leery of anything promising such and such, but then asking for thousands of dollars upfront.
Anyone not already in Computer Programing, save your time and money and learn on your own or go to an actual university!
