    Skill-building Experience

    The three months I spent with my team at Co.Lab as a Product Designer had a significant impact on my career. We worked on a project from start to finish, and I got to fully experience my role as a designer. While we had room to be fully independent in our thoughts and decisions, we also had sufficient support from our mentor and the larger Co.Lab community. I got a job immediately after the program because I was able to apply some skills I had picked up/applied while designing my team's ...

    Fulfilling team-building Tech experience

    Co.lab does so much to set you up with real-life experience developing a product.  As a Front-end Developer, I learned so much from talking to my designer and fellow developers about project scope and how to talk about designs and all the decisions that go into it.  I came out with a real-world MVP product that I helped develop from the start.  Our project Mentor also gave us invaluable knowledge about how to navigate a project and how to further our goals outside of co.lab.

    It was a hands-on learning experience, with real time feedback from mentors. Collaborating in real time with crossfunctional teams from different part of the world mimicking the real setting scenario and then delivering an MVP at the end of it all was a masterstroke

    Refreshingly different

    Co.Lab is an excellent boot camp for those looking to expand their skills and knowledge as a product designer, product manager, or developer. Colab is well structured and provides a hands-on learning experience in a cross-functional team environment. The mentors are knowledgeable and provide helpful feedback and guidance throughout the program. Resources made available to us covered a wide range of topics related to product design and even helped me build in public which aided me greatly...

    Amazing experience

    I recently completed the software development bootcamp and overall, I had a positive experience. The instructors were knowledgeable and supportive, and the curriculum was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics. The hands-on projects and group work helped me to solidify my understanding of the material and apply what I had learned. Additionally, the career services team provided valuable resources and support to help me find a job in the field. The only downside was that the p...

    Do you want to get a real life product development experience? Co.Lab is the answer

    Co.Lab is the complete package if you want to get your hands dirty. You get to work on any product of your choice agreed upon by your team. 

    As a software developer, I had the opportunity to work with a designer and a product manager. We had standup meetings as a team and with our mentor.

    Co.Lab makes the building process smooth as we were given weekly targets and various resources to guide us. This ensured everyone were on track

    During the program we were encouraged...

    The Best

    I joined Co.lab with no previous experience with working on a project across teammates in a remote distributed team which varying time zones.

    This was a first and very educative one. I got to see another equally important aspect side of the software-building process that I did not know about after months of learning how to code on my own.

    This program helped me build my decision-making skills on what tools to use to accomplish the problem at hand.

    Product Designer

    I had a great experience with Co.Lab! I'm a post-bootcamp grad and I didn't get to interact or work on projects with a PM or devs before this. Not having this experience really hurt my interviewing capabilities since I had no direct experience as a designer on real shipped products. Being in Co.Lab gave me more confidence in that I was able to apply my design process and thinking abilities while also helping me better understand how a product development cycle works. As a result of my ex...

    Hello Christine,

    Thanks for the high praises! We're glad that you had such a great time with us, and was able to gain the real-world experience you needed to break the Catch-22 problem of finding real-work experience without getting hired. 

    You were amazing and we're very excited to know where you'll be at in the future.

    Join Once and Belong in Tech Forever

    This is one of the best Bootcamps I have completed regarding real world software development experience, team work, software development life cycle and learning resources provided. The bootcamp is organised in the best way to support people falling in the lack of experience deadlock to break through and deliver real world products. After the bootcamp, I was able to identify my faults which I have done before in software development. Thanks to all the amazing instructors, cohort members, ...

    Hello Valence,

    Co.Lab is more than about taking classes together. It's also about learning how you function in a cross-functional setting so that you'll know what your strengths and weaknesses are, as well as making the necessary professional improvements to make yourself attractive to the job market.

    And it seems like you were able to gain much of the same learnings at Co.Lab. We're proud of you!

    Great First Step for Finding a Job in Tech

    Coming directly form online tutorials, this was a great first hand experience of how to apply my knowledge to real life projects with a cross-functional team. It also taught me a lot of the practical skills needed for building my career and built my confidence to put myself out there and interact with my community. And ultimately it was this experience that helped me land my first job as a Software Developer. 
    Thank you Co.Lab <3

    Hello Sara,

    Congratulations on your new Dev role! We found that many of our students are already well-equipped to land their first tech role - one of the only critical problems being the lack of confidence to communicate their technical knowledge effectively, and just put themselves out there.

    We're glad that the program was able to help you in this aspect!

    The Co.Lab team and community are very proud of you.

    Co.lab kickstarted my product career

    I learned a lot during Co.lab that I still use to this day. The content is solid. I didn't have the best team but that experience taught me a lot about being flexible and rolling with the punches like it is in the real world. Helen is a great human being and really tries to treat Co.lab participants like they are family. I ended up transitioning into an APM role at a Forbes top start-up after my stint in Co.lab.

    Product Designer

    Co.Lab was an incredible experience. Going into the program I was hoping to reignite my love of working on a team after a lonely year of freelancing, I was hoping to gain confidence, and I wanted a portfolio piece I could really speak to, especially during job interviews. 

    I can confidently say that I got all of that and so much more out of the program. With Co.Lab I got to work on a team with a Product Manager and two developers and together we created a product called Podball th...
