DevX School Reviews
- Great experience!- 11/28/2021Maryna N • Graduate • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: Chicago • Verified via GitHubI am very glad that I made a decision to join DevX, it was probably one of the best things, where I could invest my time and the money! What I loved about the school the most is that everything was very organized, the instructors were very professional, and most important - they were patient, never regretted the time to stay an extra 30-40 minutes after class to explain additional questions, etc., and the material that was given to us was up to date. Also, there is a family atmosphere, which definitely helps to ease the stress!

- Student- 11/23/2021Tetiana • Student • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoAt DevX School my expectations were matched, I received a lot of useful and important information in the tech industry. I do not regret the decision of me taking the challenge and study with this school. You have full support of the instructors. My Java instructor -Baha does his job very well by bringing real life examples and explaining materials using different approaches.
- Mr.- 11/23/2021Ashikul Fahad • Automation Tester • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoChoosing DevX was an excellent choise that I made so far. The course is very intensive and interactive. I am learning new topics and technologies everyday through this course. I love the culture here and all the instructors are super awesome. They do their best to ensure that, you are moving forward along with the course. I choose DevX to achieve my career goals and I am on the right track.
- The most rewarding 6 months of my life!- 11/22/2021Victoria • QA Engineer • Graduate • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoIf you want to step into the IT field but do not know where to start - a DevX school is the best place to reach! It was my greatest decision of 2021 to join them as I met so many new friends, worked with amazing and professional instructors and gained a lot of knowledge. In DevX SDET course you will learn everything starting from programming basics to advanced tools in testing. Very well organized school curriculum and skilled instructors will help you learn things in a most comfortable way ever because you just need your laptop, time and dedication. DevX school organizes the learning process in a way that there are technical and soft skills classes, group projects and mentoring with instructors. You'll have your hands on many interesting projects to develop the problem solving skills that you will use in your future job.What I really like is that with DevX , you're never alone because the instructors are always ready to help you with answering all of your questions.The SDET course is really intense but I believe that hard word pays off and if you're not satisfied with your current job and want to learn something new, then you're in the right time and place - DevX school will definitely help you in changing your life for the better and provide a lifetime experience!
- Life changing experience!- 11/20/2021Malika M. • Automation QA Engineer • Graduate • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoI joined DevX 2 weeks later than others, but with the help of instructors, mentors and class recordings I was able to catch up really quick on weekends and be on the same page with my classmates! Previously I didn’t like online study, but due to the situation of the world Devx was online for Fall Batch 2020 and you can’t imagine how I was waiting for the classes everyday, I was so excited! I arrived to USA on March 2020, and on August 2021 I got three offers and started my job at JPMorgan Chase&Co as an Automation QA Engineer. I will not be able to land a job without my amazing instructors and mentors Askar, Adina, Sofiia, Marat, Nazar, Dan, Nursultan, and other people who supported us all 6 months of school and even after (sorry if I missed someone!)
Why I chose Devx? Because the program was different from other schools and from the first call I saw how they want to help you with your career and life.
Askar once said “Hard work pays off”, 6 months seems a long time, but once you’ll start it will be really fast. If you think to start, then do it. But my biggest advice is DON’T quit a course in the middle. Yes, it can be hard sometimes and you can start thinking it’s a wrong way. If you think so; it means you’re on the right way. Just keep pushing until you’ll get your first offer, start working and then you can say is it your job or not.
Good luck!
- SDET- 10/1/2021Peter Z. • GraduateThe best decision that I've made! With DevX 6 months pass really fast. Teachers and mentors are great professionals and know what they doing. They were really helpful throughout the course. Software Development Engineer in Test course covers a lot of popular tools and basics that are used in industry. I had no experience with coding before but in Devx learning that was easy. Overall I had a great experience with DevX and would recommend it to everyone.
- DevX care about their students and their success- 9/16/2021Iryna R • Graduate • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoIt is always scary to step out of your comfort zone but instructors and mentors from DevX school made sure you succeed.
DevX has a great curriculum and they really take time on explaining. They all understand that learning as a process and sometimes it takes time for some people and they are happy to explain again if needed. Also loved the way they explain, it is very easy so that people who has zero experience in computer science would understand.
The program is intense as there's a lot of tools they cover but if you're dedicated to the school and to learn you will succeed, the mentors and instructors will make sure you do. They provide a lot of homework to practice, variety of projects and simulators. So after this 6 month you be a professional. You just need to dive in and trust instructors, and don't forget to study and practice.
- Software Engineer in Test- 9/12/2021Dana • Software Engineer in Test • Graduate • Course: Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) • Campus: ChicagoDevX is a life-changing experience! I took professional certificate courses before and they were all average. But I can confidently say that DevX is a whole other level. DevX founders Askar and Adina along with the rest of the team carry about the students like family. The instructors are always ready to answer your questions and help you when you struggle. DevX curriculum is very intense, however, it is so much worth it. I've never felt like I was all by myself. My groupmates, my mentors, my instructors were always there to lift me up and help me reach my goal. The course covers the most important subjects, programming topics from ground zero, testing tools, CI/CD tools, and testing strategies that are highly in demand these days. The program also includes algorithms and data structure classes that help you understand how to write efficient and optimized code. There are also soft skills classes that cover the most important topics to get you ready for the job market. After completing the Bootcamp, you still get 100% of DevX support in finding the right job for you. Definitely recommend!
- UX/UI Design Course- 11/17/2021Anonymous • Student • Course: UX/UI Designer • Campus: ChicagoI was part of the first batch that started in March 2021. There are a total of four teachers and four classes throughout the course.
Classes: UX/UI Design (Axure), UX Soft Skills (Figma), Mentoring, and HTML/CSS.
Only two of the four teachers were helpful during and after the course. Thank you, Ryan (UX Soft Skills ) and Zoya (UX/UI Design)! I would say that my only two complaints about the UX/UI Design classes are that: 1) I wish that we had live demos for Figma and Axure. I just feel that if students are paying to take these courses; then using Youtube, Udemy, etc to learn the tricks of Figma and Axure should be used as a secondary tool ... not as a primary tool. The classes were mostly lectures and/or reviewing and giving feedback on homework/projects. 2) We did not learn Sketch or Adobe XD.
One teacher in particular, whom I will remain nameless, was so disorganized .... we could tell that she didn't plan any of her classes ... she was just winging it. Anytime you ask her questions she would often tell us to look it up ourselves ... or she wouldn't answer the question, she'll just go off-topic. Oftentimes, she repeated herself or just talk about absolutely nothing just to kill time. Honestly, it was so bad, that only 3-4 students bothered to show up to her live classes (on average).
Job assistance was non-existent. When the course is completed, you are on your own. There wasn't even a proper goodbye to the students. Even though their website states that there is job assistance. That is simply not true for the UX/UI Design course. It felt like the owner neglected the UX/UI Design students in favor of the SDET students. Also, the owner of DevX School suggested to us that we lie about our work experience to "get ahead". If you're okay with doing that, then perhaps this school is for you. If not, then I suggest you attend a school that has good job placement assistance/connections to companies, so that you can get your foot in the door without faking your resume.
