Carleton University Boot Camps

The Carleton Boot Camp gives you the most up to date knowledge for front end and back end coding. You need to be prepared to put in the time and effort into the course as there is weekly modules and assignments that are due. You get an immense amount of help from all the staff at Carleton. You are never left in the dark with a bunch of questions and concerns, you have access to support 247. The AskBCS is a lifesaver when it comes to needing help after class hours and on weekends so I suggest making sure you take advantage of that support.

It was immediately apparent that all 30 students, myself included, who began the bootcamp were taking this on as they were in need of a career change, and fast. The term 'bootcamp' should not be taken lightly by any means, the course is intense and is constantly full throttle for the duration of the program. Yet, at the end of the program (i did part time, so 6 months), I am amazed at how much material we were able to cover, and even though I was always thought to be lost at sea, I cannot believe how much I have learned and can now accomplish following this coding bootcamp. 

The point of bootcamps in general are here to serve a purpose, they are not for the faint of heart. Of the 30 who began the course, 13 stuck it out to the end. But it is such an amazing feeling to have gone through such an intense 6 month period and come out the other side unscathed, and ready for a new career! 

The class had one instructor and two TA's. The instructor was incredibly smart, and very hands on with how he taught the subject which made it easier grasping each topic as it's thrown at you. The TA's are always bootcamp graduates, so it was nice to have someone there who had been through what we were going through, and reassure as that "it's okay to feel stressed, it's stressful!". That really meant a lot. The support from the program outside the instructor and TA's is quite vast as well. We had an individual oversee the whole program and keep us up to date with what we needed in order to graduate. There is also a career services option, which helps groom you for the working world upon completion of the program. 

Honestly, I did not know what to expect entering this program 6 months ago. I now know that my future self will thank me for making for this sacrifice for a short time in order to have a different working/personal life moving forward. Amazing experience, would do again if I ever decided to change careers later on. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quick change of career and can't afford to go back to school for 2-4 years.

for me it is a turning point as it is based on my experience on tech of microsoft products such as c# ASP.net website application development which is tired some to create website now it is very easy for me to develop website application using that i learned with in this 6 months without warrying on intensive programing language using on backend such as c# and java programing languages which is unthinkable before 8 years .now using only javascript we can build both frontend and backend which is surprised me .

I felt like an ignorant former computer teacher when I started this Bootcamp. Now I am an equipped Data Analyst. With a wide range of programming languages and environments such as Excel/VBA, Python  (Pandas, Numpy, SciPy, Matplotlib ), SQL, HTML / CSS, Flask, Tableau, and Machine Learning.In the beginning, this was too hard for me. I even thought about leaving the program. However, Carleton’s Business Analytics and Data Visualisation Bootcamp was very well organized.Our instructor and TA embraced me from the beginning and supported me in all their capacity.Our instructor Arooj Ahmed Qureshi helped me when I was struggling; she encouraged me when I was down, and she answered all my questions, even if they were silly. Being a student of Arooj was a privilege.Our TA, Harshitha Reddy Dunthula, worked on my problems even when she didn't have to. She opened my vision with some creative solutions.Our Administrator, Sureer Jimale, was always close to us to find administrative solutions. We could always reach her easily. Sometimes I needed more support, she always found a solution to my demands.When I was struggling with something, the Learning assistant team was there for me to solve the problems 24/7. Additionally, I could receive assistance from tutoring services at least once a week. All the tutors were competent in the field.In short, I genuinely recommend this program.
