    Scam! Scam! Scam! Hondros should be ashamed of themselves! This program is an absolute scam. I chose BOC because I thought that being part of Hondros College it would be a great program. I couldn't be more wrong. A day of class consist of the instructor reading from the book and then doing a few exercises at the end of the chapter. When it comes to projects the majority is Windows desktop applications. Only one web project which nobody could finish because it was given too late. I had to...

    My opinions from the July-Sept ‘17 class

     

     

     

     

    I attended the July ‘17 class and had high hopes going in.  I wanted to wait until I had a job so I could give a review based on the entire experience, and just be honest. I’ll go in to this saying I genuinely liked every employee at BOC, but I’m going to give my negative and positive opinions on the program so prospective students don’t have to decide between 5 star and 1 star reviews.

    These are only my opinions based on what I obs...

    Rewards come from Hard work and Effort

    I came to BOC with no knowledge of Computer Science, but after a few hours into the course I knew it would take hard work and dedication to become successful. It does take hard work to become successful in the real world.

     

    I was part of the very first class that was held. Yes there were bumps in the road, but that is to be expected. Did it sell me short? NO! The course was challenging yet fun. The instructors that I had were very well versed in the Computer Sci...

    REWARDS ONLY FOLLOWS HARD WORK

    From the beginning I realized the hours I would have to put in for a successful outcome. PLEASE don't waste your time if you don't have a true passion for computer science.

    I was apart of the first class in Blue Ocean ever. I had ZERO experience nor knowledge of technology, however, I had a STRONG INTEREST. The course is very cut and dry, challenging, and all topics, materials and schedules are provided from the beginning. The instructors have all seemed to be we...

    Waste of time and money

    This course promises job placement and that you will learn how to code, even if you have zero coding experience. This claim is ridiculous. I went through the course and by the time it was completed I still didn’t understand coding. The instructor was switched out what seemed like every other week. No consistency and no real help learning how to code. I was there for 3 months and gave them 12,000 dollars and I can not write a simple app. DON’T TAKE THIS COURSE!!!

    There were many things that were in the "contract" the paper agreement and verbal statements that we signed and were told that we never recieved. We were told that there were plenty of jobs that needed to be filled and that we would get a postion, that couldn't be further from the truth everything needed experience which we did not have. Then there is the cap stone project that was never completed we never got to finish te project that shows off all that we learned during the class. On top...

    It is not "Easy"

    Am a current student of Blue Ocean Coding and my 3rd week in class. Is been a challenge, but perseverance and dedication is puching me towards my goal. The instructors are outstanding and willing to help in anyway. Everybody that I've come in contact with at the school have been very help. Getting a certificate from an institution will not get you the employment you want, is what you are willing to do to achieve that goal. The help is there whenever you need it. Please take advantage.

    Great all around support system.

    I have no professional software development expierence and very little amateur coding expierence.  I come from almost a decade in Japanese automotive manufacturing and decided I needed a career change.  After much research I came to the decision that Blue Ocean Coding was my road to that change.

    I am currently wrapping up my third week in the full time day class, and it has easily been the most mentally challenging 3 weeks of my life. With 8 hours of class a day, I am also studyi...

    Satisfied Former Student

    I came to BOC student as a bartender and I am currently working as a Jr. Developer, so the program works if you are willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to learn a new skill. The great thing about BOC is that the staff and instrctors really do want you to succeed. After I graduated the head of HR constantly cheked in with me to make sure my resume/cover letter were the best they could be. When I needed financial assitance during my classes because I was having trouble workin...

    The course really shined here for me.  The career services were top notch and I had access to a professional who helped revise my resume multiple times over the 12 week program.  I felt incredibly prepared sending out my resumes and cover letters.  I am currently in a posiiton that I interviewed for at their hiring event and had multiple interviews with other companies from the mock interview event as well as the hiring event.  If you choose to utilize the resourc...
