KU Boot Camps Reviews
- Data Visualization BootCamp- 7/10/2019Bhargavi Pasarlapati • Student • Course: Data Science and Visualization - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City • Verified via LinkedIn
Before I enrolled myself in this program, I looked into a variety of options including online courses, but working full time, the online courses were not motivating enough for me. The instructors in this course are knowledgeble about the subject and the TAs are extremely helpful and always willing to make things work out for me. I have learnt a ton of new stuff since I have been in this program and loving it. There is a lot of additional hours required to be put in which is not easy especially with working full time and having a family of young children. But the advisor and the TAs are very supportive and encouraging throughout making it easier to get through the course. You'll have to come prepared that just sitting in the classroom will not help, and be willing to put in few extra hours a week outside of the sessions.All in all, this is a great course and everyone here wants you to succeed in learning.

I recently completed the full stack bootcamp, and all I can think is, "Why didn't I do this sooner?" The classes were super fun and I learned a ton! They do a great job providing you with everything you need to be successful, even if you have no idea what to do going in. I'm glad I committed to taking this course, and am excited for where my new life will take me.

- Data Analytics Boot Camp- 6/19/2019Anthony Alfano • Pricing Analyst • Graduate • Course: Data Science and Visualization - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City • Verified via LinkedIn
This boot camp was a very challenging class that comes with a high reward. I attended class between February and August 2018, and have been sold on the program ever since. Upon completion of the course, I signed up as a teacher's aide and am in the middle of my 2nd term in this role.
I've told individuals on countless occasions that I learned more in that 7 month stretch than I learned in my 4-year undergraduate degree. It was well worth the investment in myself as I started a new full-time job as a pricing analyst just weeks after graduating, and quickly found that I was well prepared for the challenge that comes with a new role.
Prior to the class, I was the resident excel expert at work, and had a minimal amount of VBA scripting experience that was applicable. It was a tough class that definitely put up a fight, but it was the appropriate level of difficulty to keep you engaged and learning throughout all 240 hours of class. Three to four hour long classes flew by, as the class is formatted with a 10-15 minute lecture followed by an in-class activity, which really breaks up the monotony.
A worthwhile experience if you're a relentless individual who is willing to go through the grind.

Title: Community TeamThursday, Jun 20 2019Way to go, Anthony! We're thrilled you learned the fundamentals of data analytics and landed an exciting new role following the completion of the program. We completely agree that if you're willing to put in the work, you can succeed. Congratulations on graduating, we appreciate your review and returning to TA for us! All the best moving forward.
- Life Changing- 6/6/2019Tim Lukens • Application Developer • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City • Verified via LinkedIn
I wanna start by saying that I dropped out of high school in the ninth grade after deciding school wasn't really for me. I decided to get my G.E.D. and started working random jobs that never made me happy. I had always enjoyed building websites, but never thought at any point that I could make a career out of it.
Before going into the program I had a couple of years of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS from different courses online. I would say that the foundation that built was helpful, but the KU Coding Bootcamp helped to solidify those skills and taught me way more in 24 weeks, than I learned in those 2 years on my own.
After 1 month of graduating the program and receiving my certificate I received a job offer that doubled my old jobs rate of pay.
I had to work for it, but the career services department was really helpful, and the instructors and teaching assistants were always available anytime I needed assistance. I can't say this will work for everyone, but if you truely apply yourself and give it your all it can be life changing.

- Full-Stack Web Developer Bootcamp- 5/13/2019
I'm am so glad I took this course. I had a basic understanding before I came in and now I have expanded my skills so much! I never would've learned what I know now on my own. The inclass session with a teacher is a huge help. Plus learning from your fellow classmates and working on group projects. They were great on getting us ready for the job market.

- Worth it!- 4/11/2019Giovanni Rigters • Student • Course: Data Science and Visualization - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City • Verified via GitHubHaving a couple of years of experience in digital marketing, I see how being able to analyze and visualize data is becoming increasingly more important. Many aspects of digital marketing are also becoming more automated, which frees up time to actually perform more data analysis tasks.That being said, I have friends in IT and others that went through a data science bootcamp who I talk to and they advised me to try it out and gain some additional skills which will make me stand out.The bootcamp is challenging, but also very fun. It's fast paced and every class I learn something new. I also like the fact that we have a teacher and TA's who are in the industry, so we are getting first hand knowledge of what the current business world is looking for.My favorite aspect of the bootcamp is not only the applicable knowledge we gain in six months, but also the support we receive from career services who helps me to become employer competitive, by giving much needed advice on resumes, updating LinkedIn profiles, mock up interviews, and more.Advice to anyone thinking about taking the bootcamp is to get prepared that the bootcamp will be programming heavy for the first half and to do the bare minimum of googling the topics covered in the curriculum.

- Great Experience Overall!- 9/10/2020Mackenzie Schutz • Student • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas CityI attended KU Coding Bootcamp from March 2020-August 2020. It is a six month program learning full stack web dev- everything from front to back end. I am amazed at how my skills have developed in the last six months. I can now do things that I didn't even know were possible to learn so quickly. It was supposed to be an in-person class but the Covid-19 pandemic changed that and we did a majority of the class on Zoom. It was an adjustment and I wasn't thrilled about it at first but the instructional staff was able to maintain the quality of the class and be just as attentive in helping us with homework, projects, understanding concepts, ect. It is an extremely intense class, requiring several hours a week doing assignments and practicing writing code. The things we learn are technically things you can teach yourself but I'm the type of person that thrives off of the interaction with other people while I'm learning. They also give you weekly tutoring sessions. I had a great tutor! The extra support totally justified the price tag for me. Would I recommend this class? Well, you have to be able to really push yourself, participate, keep a positive attitude and do everything the instructors tell you to do to reap the full benefits. If that sounds like you, you should definitely sign up. You will be so amazed at what you can learn. If you aren't willing to do those things this class isn't for you.

Title: Community TeamFriday, Sep 11 2020Amazing, Mackenzie! It's great to hear you had a positive boot camp experience. Your cohort did experience a disruption due to COVID-19 that resulted in your studies transitioning online for the health and safety of all participants. We're happy to hear this unplanned change was delivered successfully and that you benefited from the online format.
Like you mentioned, this is a fast-paced course, one that will require extensive hours both inside and outside of the classroom. As such, we commend all the hard work you dedicated to your studies. Congratulations on graduating and thank you for your review! Best of luck moving forward.
- Web-Development Bootcamp- 6/6/2019Jacqueline • Front End Developer • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City
Before I started this course, I had a decent understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I believe this really helped me in this course. This program offers a wonderful introduction to the world of web development. However this is a huge time commitment, the recommended 20 hours is not enough, I personally spent closer to 30 hours a week. I learned a lot though. I was able to land a job within a month of graduating, and most of my friends in the class had similar success.
Response From: Boot Camp Team of KU Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamFriday, Jun 07 2019Thank you, Jacqueline! Like you mentioned, this program will require an extensive amount of time to master the topics covered, so we commend all the hard work you dedicated. Congratulations on graduating, we wish you continued success on your new career path!
- A Great Learning Experience.- 2/24/2019Patrick Kearney • Project Manager • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City
The Full-Stack Web Flex Part-Time program is an outstanding introduction into web development. The material covered is extremely current, the instructors are incredibly knowledgeable, and the teaching assistants are really capable to meet the students’ learning needs. The balance between material on the front-end and back-end of web development is good and students graduating from the program, who have put in the time to really study the material, are well prepared to pick up new material on their own afterward.
Potential students should be warned that this course is a real time commitment. The ten hours of official instruction per week will generally need to be supplemented with up to twenty hours of outside study per week. That said, the program is a lot of fun, and it is really motivating to be surrounded by so many other people seeking to change their lives by learning to code.
The career services offered through the program are good for younger students, who may have never received previous career coaching. However, they could definitely be improved for older students, who may not want to jettison their previous work accomplishments for a complete restart in web-development.
Response From: Boot Camp Team of KU Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamMonday, Feb 25 2019Thank you for sharing your review, Patrick! We're glad you enjoyed the curriculum and found our instructional team to be knowledgeable. Like you mentioned, prospective students should take into account that this program requires extensive commitment and time outside of class to master the complex concepts.
Our goal is for all participants to complete the course feeling equipped for success as they step out into the job market, providing ample support for those individuals who may have more professional experience, like yourself, so we truly appreciate your feedback. Congratulations on graduating, we wish you all the best in your future aspirations!
- Best Decision- 2/15/2019Jackie Nguyen • Software Developer • Applicant • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Kansas City
This course was everything I'd hoped for it to be. There is a lot of material in the course that were all relevant to current technology. So you know what you're learning is relevant to today's standards. It's impossible to learn everything about a specific language. However, the course gave me the tools to continue learning on my own and excel in the field.
