The educators were incredibly kind, supportive, and highly professional. The only downside was the accelerated pace of the 12-week program, which made it challenging to absorb all the information. If you already have programming experience, it can be immensely beneficial. However, if you're new to programming, I recommend considering the part-time option, as the full-time program can be quite intense.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0 -

While I thought that the course content was good, I think the final deliverables could have been more robust. Preparing an MVP is a good place to start, but it could have been an opportunity to prepare a working product (minimal, but more usable than the basic user flow).
