Constructor Learning

Propulsion Academy has been a great experience and helped me approach the career that I’ve been heading for. In addition to my recent Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering at ETH Zürich, this coding bootcamp made the difference and opened new opportunities. The course focuses on very relevant topics and skills with the goal to make the candidates attractive for employers in the field of software development. With a set curriculum and competent supervision, an environment for fast and high quality learning is provided. On top of all, the Propulsion Academy team puts emphasis on networking opportunities and guide the students in the process of figuring out the next step in their career.

The curriculum was very good but still had room for improvement here and there. The instructors' quality vary but is generally very good. The founder of Propulsion Academy is behind this project with all his heart and puts a lot of individual attention and consultation to each student during the course. Thanks to the bootcamp I landed a software engineering position and I would've never passed the interview without Propulsion Academy. I also feel like I had a kickstart on my new job, thanks to the very relevant curriculum. I also enjoyed the nostalgia from the classroom experience and bonding with very interesting people that do the course too.

Hello this is Riccardo

It is amazing what you can learn within three months time frame.
It is like a Tesla 0 to 100 in a couple of second, although the bootcamp is great, please be aware that this 
will take full dedication and full commitment of your time and life if you really want to succeed.
You stress level will be challenged too so make sure you have a way to steam out from time to time. 

Despite all of this I was able to get an internship right after the bootcamp and get hired by the end of it.

So definitively a positive and life changing experience.

Highly recommend

My overall experience with SIT Academy was great. This bootcamp is for anyone who is really determined, motivated, hard worker and can afford it.
They teach technologies that are in demand right now but you have to sacrifice all of your time for 3 months if you want to be a junior developer after the bootcamp and I am not exaggerating at all. If you don’t put the hours in it then you will be lost because the lessons build upon the previous one.
Their curriculum is well planned and super efficient in my opinion. I can suggest them anytime.

(I had no degree or any programming knowledge before the bootcamp and I don’t even speak German. 1 year later after the bootcamp I am a Software Engineer Intern at Adobe and I earned this position without any connection.)

I came from Academia with a PhD in seismology, and was hired at Pictet Asset Management just before then end of SIT data science bootcamp. What I learned at SIT Academy was really valuable during the interview process and afterward. SIT Academy alumni network was also a big help as I could receive advices from an alumni working at the company I was applying for. Looking back these were three great months in Zurich, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone considering joining the class.

The SIT Bootcamp is a game-changer for anyone who wants to change their career path or just expand their skillset. They provide very skilled and professional instructors as well as an extensive set of useful materials. Unlike other course providers, SIT Academy has an excellent network with the industry, allowing the students to find the ideal company to work for after the Bootcamp. I especially liked the mentorship program, where each student has their own mentor guiding them through every step of the application process. 

I decided to enrol in SIT Academy's Full-Stack Web Development program in order to further improve my knowledge, and to gain the exposure that I knew I needed in order to be ready for the challenging demands of the software development market, as I was aiming to transition into a new role as a software engineer.

Since my first day in the program, I knew that it was the right choice to be there. The instructors are extremely helpful, and also quite knowledgeable. They do their best to ensure that everyone understands the curriculum and gets the best out of it. The assignments were rather challenging, but they're designed in a way that helps you learn and understand the logic behind every line of code that you write, and not just memorise things without understanding them. They helped me find my path as a backend/devops engineer, and I will forever be grateful to their wonderful team for that!

Pros:

• Excellent teachers.
• The curriculum is well-structured and some of the assignments are very challenging (in a good way).
• Everyone is passionate about what they do, which makes the overall experience fantastic!
• You get to learn soft skills along the way! (working in a team, dealing with different personalities and so on).
• They help establish your presence on LinkedIn and other platforms where you could land your dream job.

Cons:

• If you're attending the class remotely, you could face some technical issues sometimes. (probably something that got fixed anyway!)

I've always had a passion for software development. The fact that one could use their software development knowledge to fuel their creativity and bring their ideas to life through applications that can make peoples' lives easier and more productive has always pushed me to learn more and more about how it all works.

At the start of 2021 I have never written a line of code, at the start of 2022 I started as a Junior Software Developer in Zurich. 
I applied to SIT Academy for a change in my carrier after working in the insurance industry for five years. I had zero prior knowledge up to the moment I applied.  After I passed the interviews SIT Academy gave me access to a bunch of preparation work which really helped giving a basic understanding of coding and setting a level to excel from during the bootcamp.

The bootcamp is very demanding as there is so much to learn. I really enjoyed the teaching method used by SIT Academy as they give lessons during the mornings and in the afternoons you are free to do as many exercises as you wish to help you understand the topics taught. We also worked on three big projects which you can put into your portfolio and show to potential employers.

In the end and after the bootcamp the SIT Academy team will help you prepare your ideal CV and will support you finding a job as a developer.

I would highly recommend SIT Academy to everyone who wants to change career paths or wants to learn a new skill. You need to be motivated as you will gain extra knowledge according to the work you are willing to put in.
