    Probably worth it

    Wow, I didn't know there were so many boot camps! I chose to go to a boot camp to fill in the holes quicker and launch into a real coding job (or at least be a part of the coding team/department). I graduated with a Business Information Systems degree about 13 years ago and since worked a few technology jobs before going into the classroom as a k-12 teacher for the last 8 years. I've always enjoyed coding and realized now was my chance to really make it happen. I think what Eleven Fifty ...

    Intense, but Invaluable Experience

    I was working as a bartender before finding Eleven Fifty Academy. I knew I needed a career change, and I had always been in interesting in coding. The JavaScript course required a lot of work -- both in and out of the classroom. I would work on problems in the classroom and find my mind still thinking of possible solutions after class. The class changes your entire mindset and engages your problem-solving muscles. My teacher was willing to guide me to discover my own answers, allowing me...

    Excellent Program

    I am very satisfied with Eleven Fifty Academy. I took a 12-week Course here back in 2017 shortly after they moved to Launch Fishers and Immediately after completing the course I was able to get a 10-week paid Internship with the company followed up by a full time software job at my current place of employment just simply due to the skills I was taught at the academy. Eleven Fifty did a great job in teaching me the skills and technology needed in today's world to help me get started in a gr...

    Endless Opportunities

    I've supported Eleven Fifty Academy since its inception.  The vision for this non-profit was pure & beautiful to me and I wanted to make certain I contributed.  As an instructor, apprenticeship director, and a continued community voice for this academy, I've seen hundreds of students pass through!  Every student is given opportunities to be great.  Those that lean into the opportunities succeeded wildly.  Those that don't, are the ones you'll see writing negative reviews on sites like ...

    Huge Impact, Quick Results

    Eleven Fifty has been a phenomenal experience both intellectually and interpersonally. To the point:

    - Experienced Educators able to provide constructive feedback and answers when stuck for a while on a piece of code

    - Exceptional career services staff willing to dedicate as much time as needed to landing a job

    - Diverse group of students. Some personalities did clash, but this provided a fundamental insight into potential workplace environments and how to han...

    A great experience with exposure to true talent!

    I came to Eleven Fifty a little hesitantly, as I wasn't sure I would be able to keep up with a bootcamp style learning environment, but the staff here made it simple. The teachers here are all excellent, and really connect with the students beyond teaching. The environment is more like a family, and the materials provided are extensive and go the extra mile. This school was started by Scott Jones, the forerunner of voicemail technology, and the experience and influence in the coding indust...

    Caveat emptor (August 2017 JavaScript cohort)

    Before I continue with this review- the background: I have given this a lot of thought and held out to write a review since I was removed back in September of 2017 to avoid coming off too emotional. I want to be honest and give my full critique of this Academy as objectively as possible so those future enrollers go in with all the warnings, what to expect, and that sort of notion.

    First the positives: Eleven Fifty looks promising. They have a nice faculty/instructors and plenty of ...

    Eleven Fifty is a great program and offers very talented instructors. I was thoroughly impressed at how willing to help each of the instructors are. This is a very tough course and your learning curve will no doubt skyrocket. As long as you love to learn and aren't afraid to ask for help, you will excel in the program.

    The staff are still trying to improve curriculum and are trying different things to see what works best. There are some things that still need to be ironed out, bu...

    First things first is that I do have a paid internship lined up that I will be starting within the next month. I received the offer for this before the bootcamp was even finished. Full disclosure, getting the internshi...

    This is a good course. I learned a lot in a short time. It is a difficult course, but everyone who put in the work passed the course and is on a good path. I had a job lined up before school ended. I would recommend this to almost anyone.
