A little background regarding my education, experience, and character: I hold a BA in History and Comparative Religion from a liberal arts university. I have worked as a teacher, a fashion photographer, a designer, an account coordinator, and a partner in a wedding photography business. I enjoy traveling the globe, learning languages, and eating local foods. In summation, I’d never had anything beyond a slim introduction to HTML prior to my decision to enroll in GA.
I formally began GA’s WDI first remote cohort after completing one month of self-directed study, a prep that gave me a solid foundation to begin but was no substitute for what I learned. I had my suspicion regarding the efficacy of a completely online platform but it quickly dissolved as I completed my first week.
The 13+ weeks felt simultaneously indefinite and momentary. I believe the content of the curriculum was so new and challenging that it seemed long but it was also so engaging while augmented by the fun had in class with instructors and classmates. The most important thing about this course is that you learn and you learn a lot in a short period of time. While the course is no substitute for a CS degree that teaches you the complex math behind machine code, the jobs a web developer is looking for doesn’t require that! I think most people are fearful of bootcamp programs because we’ve seen the scandals involving for-profit academies (Everest, ITT, DeVry), but you need to realize that programs like this work far better for those that have already been out in the world gaining experience and looking to pivot in a new direction.
You are assigned HW nightly that certainly requires 3-5 hours of work but the projects are your true tests and ultimately become your portfolio. I kept on top of my portfolio landing page and projects and eventually received a bite from a top company two weeks prior to my graduation. My interests lie in front-end and web animation so when I was offered a full-time salary position with killer perks 6 days post gradation, the final validation for this course was checked off my list.
Learning to code is not a passive skill (well, at least not initially) so you must be ready to listen carefully, think critically, and apply what you learn thoughtfully. If you do this and couple it with dedication/interest/passion/whatever drives you, failure is not an option - you will succeed. GA has a finely tuned system with kick-ass instructors that are real people, and by that I mean they’re personable and considerate. Many of the instructors are GA grads themselves that after a few years in the workforce have decided to come back and teach, which is killer because they can speak the same language as the novice. I haven’t an unkind word for any of the instructors I encountered.
The same kind words apply to the operations and career outcomes staff. GA has done a fine job sourcing amazing talent and I trust they will continue to apply these tactics to acquire even more.
To summarize, GA has an outstanding curriculum with an amazing staff that keeps you laughing and interested while teaching you hard skills that truly gets you the work you’re looking for.
