    GW Data Analytics and Visualization Bootcamp

    I came into the part-time (M/W/S 6:30pm - 9:30pm) GW Data Analytics and Visualization bootcamp with no coding background, just art and physics. I have a master's degree in physics. I took this bootcamp to gain tools to help me transition into data science and even use tools for my science. I was a bit apprehensive at first that I would be able to keep up but the instructors (and two TA's) do a great job at providing academic support. I never missed a single homework assignment, and tried t...

    Recent Grad (Buyer Beware)

    Went through the full time full stack dev course. The instructor was good went fast at times. You'll need to spend 4+ hours daily after class to keep on pace. Tutoring they offer was lousy at best he flew through questions faster then the instructor. TA's we helpful but this is really a self learning environment with 'demos' GW's name carries weight on your resume in the Washington DC area. Forget about it for career services, everyone that found employment in my class did so on their own. Th...

    Hi Anonymous, thank you for taking the time to leave us your review, we really appreciate you sharing your personal feedback. We regret your experience did not meet your expectations. Our program is rigorous and fast-paced, and we cover a great deal of knowledge in a limited amount of time. We understand you found our instructional team to have quickly covered the course material. We do our best to communicate to students that because we cover a full-stack, topics are introduced at a higher level in-class, after which, students are expected to dive in and not only gain a deeper understanding of the concepts but also practice their skills outside of the classroom. Depending on an individual's experience, one should expect to spend a minimum of 20 hours or more per week outside of class in order to excel. This helps individuals learn how to self-teach, a key strength needed in a developer's role. We take participant feedback regarding our course, instructors, and tutoring most seriously, measuring success based on student feedback, video audits during teaching, and classroom assessments.

    Our professional development services are built on the principle of empowerment, and we strive to be clear about expectations. While we do not secure direct employment for students, we work to empower them the best we can with the necessary tools and support for entering the job market through technical interview training, portfolio reviews, resume/social media profile support, and more. Did you find these to be helpful?

    We regret that you had a difficult time communicating with us via email. We receive many communications throughout the day, but we strive to give timely assistance to all students within 24 hours. We take input like yours most seriously and are constantly refining our career and student services to best help students navigate the program and prepare for the job search. Please let us know if there are any additional ways we can improve upon our responsiveness.

    Your student experience does not end on graduation day. I'd love to hear from you directly to see what else we can do at this time to best meet your expectations, as well as reinforce your job search or any further learning materials. If you would like, please reach out to me at (202) 629-0252.

    Web Development

    This is a self study program, instructor review topic in 2 hour class which 1 out of 2 hour is spend with pep talk/chat. Just FYI it is all on you and with some support from TAs. Course goes pretty fast you need to study at least 20 hours or more every week to catch up.

    Thank you for your feedback. We regret to hear the boot camp is not living up to your expectations.

    You are completely right that this is a fast-paced and challenging program, covering a wide range of knowledge in a limited amount of time. We pride ourselves on teaching individuals how to learn, providing a strong foundational skill set that allows them to easily dive into other programming languages, even after the course ends. This helps students problem-solve and self-teach — two crucial abilities needed in any real-world role.

    Each of our class sessions is designed to build upon the last, and we do find that as the program continues, students begin to feel more and more confident in their skills. From your review, we understand that you do not feel this learning approach has been sufficiently beneficial for you and we appreciate your input, as we're constantly optimizing our curriculum and program offerings.

    It's our goal for all individuals to feel equipped for success during the program, so we would welcome the opportunity to speak with you and determine what additional assistance we can provide for you at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us directly at (202) 629-0252.

    Beware

    My experience with the course has been poor. I was excited when I first joined assuming the high cost and GW name meant better quality than the online courses that I done before, unfortunately that was not the case.  

    The instructors that taught my course were great however, I felt they were restricted due to the amount of material, student to teacher ratio and the lack of flexibility in providing additional support.

    Thank you for your feedback. We regret to hear the program did not meet your expectations.

    We understand that you chose GW Coding Boot Camp for expert guidance in navigating the fundamentals of web development. Like you noted, this is a fast-paced course and rather than spending extended periods of time on one topic, we pride ourselves on teaching individuals how to learn, building a strong foundational skillset they can use to quickly learn additional languages and frameworks—even after the boot camp ends.

    This methodology helps students learn how to problem-solve and self-teach: two crucial abilities needed in any real-world programming role. We've found that as the curriculum progresses, most participants feel increasingly confident in the knowledge they've gained. In order to assist learners every step of the way, we do provide a wide range of support, including office hours, Slack, free tutoring, and one-on-one sessions.

    It's great to hear you found our instructors to be helpful. We strive to provide in-depth academic support, and in addition to our main instructors, we supplement each class with knowledgeable TAs that work hard to assist leaners both in and outside of the classroom. We're constantly optimizing our services to ensure individuals have the best learning experience possible, so we appreciate your insight.

    We would welcome the opportunity to further discuss how else we can support you at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us directly at (202) 629-0252. We wish you all the best moving forward!

    Dont do it..

    DO NOT TAKE THIS COURSE!!!!

    Expect instructers to not care, projectors to not work, over crowded class rooms, inadequte course material, alot of time on google and only one hour a week additional support, over restrictive course homework requirements. 

    To sum the course in a single phrase.. "Use Google, it should answer your questions" 

    For the amount of money they are asking for, I recommend you find an online course that will teach you much more

    Thank you for your review. Based on your feedback, we understand you were unhappy with your program experience. 

    We take pride in our comprehensive and holistic approach to learning. As this is a boot camp, we recognize the material is fast-paced and challenging, moving quickly from one complex topic to the next in a condensed amount of time. Like you mentioned, we instruct students how to learn, providing a strong foundational skill set that allows individuals to easily dive into other frameworks and languages on their own—even after completing the program. 

    Not only do we strive to equip students with a robust academic framework, but we also work hard to help learners develop strong problem-solving and self-teaching abilities through internet research and other available resources; two essential traits developers constantly utilize in real-world roles. As the industry continues to evolve, our curriculum is continually being optimized using extensive market and employer research.

    Our entire team is passionate about enabling student success. In order to assist learners, we provide additional support through 24 total hours of free tutoring, 90 total office hours with instructors and TAs, optional one-on-one meetings, supplemental resources, and host structured review sessions to reinforce core concepts. We strive to respond quickly to any concerns and offer weekly surveys and office hour sessions to provide a voice for all of our participants. Throughout this process, we have collected over 200,000 feedback forms to date, making necessary enhancements based on student and instructor insights. We hope you were able to benefit from these resources and appreciate your input as we're frequently enhancing our services.

    We sincerely care about all our students and it is our goal for everyone to leave our program feeling equipped with the skills they need to succeed. We would love the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn how else we can assist you at this time to bolster your learning experience.
