    Do not go here - software engineering full time immersive program

    Although it may have been a great bootcamp at one time, it is not anymore. Staff shortages, 1 instructor per cohort, calendars that are now pdf vs. Google calendar, disorganization on a huge level. It is the fyre festival of bootcamps. It was sold by the founders and purchased in 2018 by zovio (formerly bridgepoint education) and has had a recent change in management 6  months ago. It seems to be cutting costs anywhere possible and stretching instructors to their breaking point. Many qui...

    Great Teaching

    The good: Fullstack Academy offers an immersive cybersecurity bootcamp that is well worth the time spent doing it. The instructors are patient and will walk you through the most basic of tasks, all the way up to configuring VPCs in AWS with load balancing and Remote-Access VPNs. If you have any technical abilities at all, the course should not be difficult to complete. 
    Heed this warning: Adjust your expectations as you consider signing up for this bootcamp. If you're expecting to lan...

    Software Engineering Immersive

    I would highly recommend Fullstack Academy for those seeking a career in software engineering. As for my background, I graduated university with a B.S. in computer science, but had no related work experience, even internships. After months of zero replies from numerous job applications, I decided to take this coding bootcamp. It mainly covered JavaScript and React with a focus on front-end, but I was able to get a decent amount of experience on back-end technologies and concepts as well....

    Web development

    It's a wonderful program for individuals who already have basic understanding of programming such as HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I say this do to the fact this program is only 3 to 6 months so there's only time to touch the surface of each of these languages, I feel for individuals that have never touch code and are complete beginners would find this program overwhelming and difficult to understand at times, beginning projects are pre written meaning mostly just copy paste into your code e...

    Great Instructors

    I had an overall very positive experience at Fullstack Academy. I got into their WDF program which is part of a partnership with the city and is 100% tuition free, so bear in mind that the fact that I got to go for free may have made my perception a little rosier than it would otherwise be. That being said, if I had to do it all over and pay the full cost for this coding bootcamp, I absolutely would (especially their Grace Hopper program, which has deferred tuition). I just got my first ...

    Immersive Software Engineering Program - Grace Hopper Program

    I recently graduated from the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy and I had an amazing experience. Even though the entire course was remote, I was able to gain the skills necessary to get plenty of interviews and job offers as a software engineer after graduation. I was also able to form meaningful friendships with my classmates and professional connections with the instructors. I think the main thing to know if you're considering any bootcamp is that people won't hold your hand th...

    Grace Hopper Grad from FS academy

    I did the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy. I thought the experience was overall very worthwhile and made a huge impact on my career choice. In terms of pros, they have a great curriculum with everything you need to begin as a software engineer and a very welcoming community including staff and other students. On the other hand, being well prepared for the job doesn't mean well prepared for interviews. I felt that the last few weeks of the curriculum were not concrete or taught ...

    Fullstack Academy Cyber - Full Time Fully Immersive

    I loved my time at fullstack. It was an incredibly challenging experience and I totally white-knuckled my way through. They do provide an abundance of academic support as well as career counseling and social-support as well. I was very impressed with the diverse group of students they admitted to the program. Everyone came from a different background, and they were all very friendly and intelligent. I have made life-long friends and we continue to ask each other questions, and provide su...

    Very happy experience

    Very friendly staff and classmates, I have the happiest days here in my life. Everyone loves everyone. When we are doing group projects we help each other. 
    In terms of curriculum it is hard to say what is the best, what full stack offers is a little bit of everything, and it gets me ready for a SWE job.

    Ultimately rewarding, but room for improvement

    Pros:
    -Structured class setting with minimal lectures and lots of hands-on work
    -Great workshops that don't hold your hands
    -Great setting for working with others whether it's pair exercises or group projects
    -Great instructors who are always available to help
    -Awesome career day that really helped get you prepared for more serious interviews down the line

    Cons:
    -The pacing of the course could use some work. e.g. REACTOs (practice technical interviews) are more o...

    Great curriculum, but some flaws

    I don't regret going to FSA. I have an engineering job as a result of what I learned at the program, but a few things rubbed me the wrong way. I'm going to focus mostly on negatives because I haven't read some of my biggest concerns in other reviews. Also, apologies for the rambling and disorganization below, I acknowledge the structure of my review could be better.

    Fullstack Academy is not equipped properly to handle everyone of all levels
