Lets start at the beginning. The screening was a joke. I took a quiz online and got accepted without an in person interview/screening. It consisted of a few riddles, simple math questions. Compared to screenings from other bootcamp which require you to have some basic coding fundamentals already, it made this bootcamp feel like a cash grab, but because of UC Berkeley's backing and the cost is cheaper, I decided to take the risk.

Lets start at the beginning. The screening was a joke. I took a quiz online and got accepted without an in person interview/screening. It consisted of a few riddles, simple math questions. Compared to screenings from other bootcamp which require you to have some basic coding fundamentals already, it made this bootcamp feel like a cash grab, but because of UC Berkeley's backing and the cost is cheaper, I decided to take the risk.
The main stack that was taught is MERN. Mongodb, express, react, and nodejs. Its a pretty good stack to learn for beginners and was taught pretty well.
The curriculum could be improved by spending a little more time with data structures and algorithms, how javascript really works, since they focus on javascript and some more programming fundamentals.
The instructor was a nice guy but didn't really put much work into his teaching Most of the time the instructor's way of teaching was just show you a block of code and say "this does this, and that happens, now you try it" which doesnt really help. This is one of the reason's many bootcamp graduates fail to go outside of the stack they were taught. They know how things work in that stack, but they dont reallly know why it works which would translate into using other stacks if they did understand.
Job assistance is pretty much online interview resources, so don't expect them to help you find a job after. I did eventually get a job but most of my learning that got me the job was through failed interviews and building myself up off those failures.
Bootcamps have over saturated the web development market so don't expect to get a job with just this bootcamp.
The real gatekeeper from getting a job will be things that weren't taught at the bootcamp, aka more in depth about how api calls really work, datastructures, and algorithms, how javascript really works. how server request are made, testing(taught once at the end of the bootcamp), etc.
TLDR: Sign up if you want to pay 12k to learn some coding for personal projects or business ventures. If you expect to get a job after this course, this course will only get you 0-10% the other 90% will be up to you to put in the work. This bootcamp is for beginners. If you can do some basic html and javascript, go to some bigger name bootcamps eg hack reactor, app academy and surround yourself with other competent coders with tougher curriculum that will make you job ready.
