LearningFuze

LearningFuze Bootcamp exceeded my expectations by providing all the tools I needed to create polished, full-stack applications. The curriculum focused on the PERN stack, with particular emphasis on React, which is valuable for building modern applications. They prepared us with everything from front-end basics to back-end development, ensuring a well-rounded understanding of full-stack concepts.The support from instructors and staff was consistently available and helpful. Whether I needed help with coding challenges or career advice, there was always someone ready to assist. Speaking of career preparation, LearningFuze put a strong emphasis on job readiness, which included mock interviews, resume support, and guidance on building a portfolio. They really did prepared us for the job hunt, even though the current market is tough for new developers. We were able to build two solid portfolio projects—a front-end project and a full-stack application—that demonstrates our skills to potential employers.Overall, I would recommend LearningFuze to anyone looking to transition into tech or strengthen their coding skills. The bootcamp is perfect for people who want a comprehensive, career-oriented program with lots of support.

LearningFuze does such a great job during the program with help towards the students! In this 18 week program I have gained so many skills with the help of all the instructors and teaching assistants. Even post program, LearningFuze does a fantastic job with the job search and helping us get our LinkedIn profiles, resume, and GitHub profiles set up for perfection! They definitely do a good job of being there for us every step of the way and are on top of keeping us motivated. They also offer webinars for the job search and for new technologies that I found very helpful! If you are considering learning this curriculum at an accelerated pace, take a chance with LearningFuze. 

If you are considering attending a coding boot camp I would strongly recommend putting LearningFuze on your radar. I have nothing but good things to say about this program - to start, I felt like the curriculum is extremely relevant and changing with the landscape of the industry. The instructors are extremely knowledgable and fantastic to work with. The school also offers a career services program to assist and guide students after graduation. 

I had a wonderful experience here and would encourage you to reach out and schedule an info session if this is something you are considering.  

After researching between bootcamps and hearing positive reviews from 2 other friends, I felt the most confident in LearningFuze.
This was around when COVID first hit so LFZ was in a transitional period. The info session gave me the most reassurance because the rep was hella personable, informative and didn't pressure me at all. Their confidence in the quality of the program stayed consistent throughout my experience and gradually was instilled into me. My instructor was an absolute gem of a human to learn from: professional but easygoing, empathetic, funny, and most importantly, had a wealth of knowledge.

My concerns for post career services were also reassured. With any bootcamp, your results are a reflection of the effort you put in. Best believe you have to work your butt off. That being said, the amount of post grad support I've received is borderline overwhelming. The job search is expected to be tough, but the support and genuinely amazing people I've networked with would never have happened if it weren't for the LFZ staff. I have professional work under my belt now and am best believe that momentum's not stopping. I sound like a broken record for constantly thanking them, and will shamelessly continue to do so. 

If you're reading these reviews, it's likely you're in the process of doing your due diligence researching all the bootcamp options to start/transition your career as a programmer. I was in your shoes in January of 2023, and currently, in Sept 2023, I am a junior software engineer, thanks to LearningFuze. Anyone can share what the course consists of and LFZ website provides all the information you need to feel assured that you're really in good hands. Therefore, I'll share my personal background and experience to add more context to why LFZ is probably the best choice for a coding BootCamp. 

I graduated with a degree in communications and began my career in marketing for a few years. I then decided to transition to software development and looked around at bootcamps and asked my surroundings about their experience with other bootcamps (codesmith, hack reactor, to name a few). Their experience there was great, however, I chose LFZ because they had an in-person course available which I knew personally would be a huge advantage because I engage better in a forced environment. Bootcamp and career change is a huge commitment of time, energy, and money, so I wanted to push myself rather than just choose what is comfortable (since I was able to commute the distance). Being in-person, I was able to create many lasting friendships, network more effectively, and take in the material much better because I didn't have to spend as much excess time and energy required when interacting in an online class setting. 

Looking back, now that I am coding professionally, LearningFuze truly prepared me to know how to read and understand life cycles of languages, enough that even when I am no longer actively learning with materials, homework, and projects, I am able to ask the right questions, figure out what the issue is, and essentially know how to use various tools and languages on my own. 
LearningFuze teaches you ways to keep learning on your own without guidance as you graduate. Yes, there is tons of material they cover that prepares you with the fundamentals of programming. Yes, you are placed in a setting similar to real-life dev environment to familiarize you with what it's like to really work in the field. Yes, You will be ready to start a junior position. I think personally, the biggest takeaway was that currently at work, I'm able to read a line of code, understand what's happening, and what I need to do next to address a bug, problem, or build something. This skill, is what LearningFuze provided me with, and I can take it with me any dev job and succeed regardless of what language a company uses, because it's not simply a tool they teach you, LearningFuze truly builds you into a developer.  

Everything in this bootcamp is amazing! If you are looking for a place to gain real knowledge and become a confident, solid candidate for the tech job market, this is the place! They will help you from your first step until the end, while you find a job! And even after, they continue to support their alumni! I am amazed at how the program was built so smartly to enable you to learn so many things in a very short amount of time. I have learned a lot, progressing from being an absolute beginner to building solo full-stack projects from scratch. I highly recommend LearningFuze if you are ready to take on challenges and become a developer!

I took the part time software engineering program and couldn't be happier with what I learned. My understanding is that it is the same curriculum as full immersion, so I feel confident in what I learned especially given that the lead instructor is from Google. The instructors were phenomenal and so dedicated especially given they also have full time jobs. I felt the curriculum was very well structured and loved the fact that it is focused on learning through exercises and large projects. Although it was intense, I did not feel as though it was homework or a chore, but rather more like a game to beat. I do recommend being organized, that will make it much more fun and feel more like a game. Definitely recommend, the skills I developed tremendously helped me land a job in tech, which was my goal. Great experience!

As I am in my final week of the in-person full stack web developer course; I am very shocked at what has been accomplished in such a short time frame. With only a few online tutorials before the course and just being able to code simple html to put some text and color on a page, I am now completing a full stack project with React. The amount that you can learn is just incredible. The course focuses on having you write actual code for most of your in class time, and getting a good review after. Your teachers are available for assistance through modern way in an agile methodology set up. 
In addition to the great coding experience career services start preparing you early for the job search afterwards. The career services is tailored specifically to this industry in preparing you for job searching through networking and key tools like LinkedIn as well as creating or fine tuning an already existing resume. And preparing you for the different approaches interviewing and the hiring process take in the web developer industry.  

LearningFuze’s part time web development program has been and continues to be an amazing learning experience. This program has been well thought out and includes in-demand technologies. I really appreciate that they offer this part time program, as it has allowed me to continue working full time while also pursuing my career in web development. The instructors and staff are all amazing and truly care about their students, you can tell they they genuinely want you to succeed and help you every step of the way, including amazing career services. The program is intense and takes a lot of dedicated time and effort, but that’s exactly the way it should be and I’m grateful for it! I would definitely recommend LearningFuze to anyone who is serious about their goals and excited to learn!

Having recently completed LearningFuze's 14-week full-stack coding bootcamp, I can confidently say that this program is the real deal. 
From the very first day, I was blown away by the staff and instructors' dedication to helping every student succeed. They were always available to answer questions and provide feedback, and they genuinely care about our success.

One thing that really stood out to me about LearningFuze was their flipped or inverted curriculum. This unique approach to learning allowed me to get hands-on experience working on real-world projects, and then discuss and review them with the instructors and other students. We were taught how to learn by using documentation and other resources. It was a fantastic way to really understand and solidify what we were learning.

The curriculum itself was comprehensive and covered all of the essential skills and tools needed to become a successful full-stack developer. It was challenging, but the instructors were always there to provide support and encouragement when needed.

Perhaps what I appreciate most about LearningFuze is their emphasis on career development. They provide us with personalized career coaching, mock interviews and job placement assistance, which is really helping me feel confident and prepared for the job market. I know the job search process can be overwhelming, but with their guidance and support, I feel like I have a clear path forward. 

If you're considering a career in tech and want to gain the skills and knowledge needed to succeed, this is the ONLY place I would reccomend! 

I am in the process of completing a coding bootcamp at LearningFuze, and overall, I had a positive experience. The program was well-structured and covered a wide range of coding topics, and the curriculum was somewhat up to date and could use some tweaking.
The instructors at LearningFuze were the real standout of the program. They were extremely knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping us succeed. They always made themselves available for questions and were willing to go above and beyond to help students understand difficult concepts.
In particular, I found Cody and Robert to be exceptional. They were both patient, approachable, and had a talent for breaking down complex concepts into simple, easy-to-understand explanations. They always took the time to ensure that each student was keeping up with the material and offered individual support where needed.
However, there were a few areas where the program could have been improved. The curriculum could use some updating and I sometimes found bugs in the code for the curriculum that needed to be updated.
Overall, I would recommend LearningFuze to anyone looking to learn how to code, especially if they are lucky enough to have Cody and Robert as their teachers. While there were a few areas for improvement, the quality of instruction and dedication to student success really set this program apart.

LearningFuze is a great place to learn coding and to get a taste of what it's like to work in a web development environment. All the tools and languages they teach students are what companies are currently using. The curriculum changes to keep up with what is relevant. It is a full time commitment like a standard 9-5 job but the effort is well worth it. Not only do they teach you coding, they also teach you how to build your resume and interview skills to help you succeed after the course is done.

I came from an industry outside of software engineering, and LearningFuze has provided the necessary skills and support to changing careers. My instructor, Brett, has been outstanding and is readily available to answer questions. The career services team has thoroughly prepared me for interviewing and provided resume/LinkedIn workshops and feedback. Overall the experience has been excellent and has given me the confidence to pursue a new career.

Recently finished the 14 week full immersion program and it was genuinely an amazing experience! The things we are capable of learning in such a short period of time if you apply yourself and give it your all, it's unbelievable. The program is fairly intense and it'll take a lot of dedication if you truly want to make the most of it, however, it just comes down to how much effort you're willing to put in. That being said, the LearningFuze curriculum system, learning environment, and staff are one of a kind. They don't just teach you how to code, they mimic a real working environment and provide you with the additional tools and resources needed to a hirable employee. This bootcamp is special and I can't express how lucky I was to enroll here. If you are able, I recommend doing the in-person full immersion program. Although, the online course is also great, I think going in person just adds another layer that can only be beneficial to this learning experience. 

 LearningFuze's curriculum is designed to empower the students to work with current technology, to read documentations, and to design and build projects that we are passionate about.

Apart from the academics, their career services prepared us on technical interviews (white board interviews), 2 mock interviews to discuss soft skills and technical questions, resume review, and LinkedIn help. 

Overall, the program is centered around helping their students break into the tech world and it has successful due to the dedications of the instructors and staff. 

From learning how to set up an HTML skeleton to building a full-stack application that you design and build yourself using React, Node.js, Javascript, and more, the learning that is accomplished within the 14 weeks at LearningFuze is an incredible experience. All of the instructors and staff have been wonderful to work with. They are fully there to help their students, are extremely knowledgeable, and their passion clearly shines through in all that they do. The course is set up to simulate a real world working environment which means that you will get to experience being a junior software engineer and learn how to use Git as well as to ask for help from your instructors using Slack. Class is set up to be like a flipped classroom where you as the student get to read about and work with a programming topic first before coming together as a class to go over and discuss it. The system worked wonders and you are able to learn so much so quickly and be able to actually apply what you've learned to build your own projects. You are also given career support and will have a well build resume and LinkedIn by the end of the program. Even after the 14 weeks though, your time with LearningFuze and instructors does not end there. They are always there to provide support for their students, even after graduating the program. I am very grateful for being able to attend the Remote Web Development Bootcamp at LearningFuze. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to get into Web Development.

Overall great experience! I attended the full time full immersion coding bootcamp. The instructors were amazing. Very knowledgeable and knew how to guide without just giving away answers for the "easy way out." LearningFuze also taught me to be more self-sufficient and be able to learn on my own through exploration and documents. It is an intense course because there are only 14 short weeks so you need to be 100% invested and ready to learn in order to succeed.

LearningFuze is an accelerated web development program that mimics an agile work environment with instructors as acting senior developers. Technologies taught throughout the program include core HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the PERN (PostgreSQL, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack. I highly recommend this program to those interested in learning web development who have experienced "tutorial hell" during self-study and want to take their skills to the next level. The curriculum builds upon itself thoroughly and includes two portfolio projects for students to showcase online and in job interviews.

In addition, the career services provided throughout the program are incredibly helpful and insightful for those looking to make a career change into web development. Services include workshops focused on a student's professional brand as a developer and mock interview practice. There are also plenty of opportunities for students to develop their soft skills and network with active industry professionals and alumni. Future students should take full advantage of this since technical skill alone is only half the battle when landing a job as a web developer.

LearningFuze and its team have greatly surpassed my expectations as someone who is pursuing web development as a new career. Enrolling with a growth mindset and full commitment is absolutely necessary in order to succeed and get the most out of the program. Sincere thanks to the LearningFuze team for their guidance and passion! 

As I’m nearing the completion of my 14 weeks at LearningFuze, I am amazed at the growth and progress I’ve made in my programming skills. Before this program, I could follow directions in a tutorial but would struggle to apply those skills afterward. Since being part of this program, I can now build a full-stack application and have gained familiarity in many areas, including React, Node.js, and PostgreSQL. The program surpassed all of my expectations, and I am incredibly grateful that I took the opportunity to invest in my growth and potential through LearningFuze. 
Part of what makes the in-person program worthwhile has been the instructors, Tim and Cody. They mentor you as if they were your senior developers to help simulate real-life interactions with developers. Their passion and enthusiasm for learning and explaining concepts are infectious, making learning to program even more exciting. Tim and Cody do a great job of not telling you the answers but guiding you to documentation and resources to help answer your questions. The curriculum they’ve developed is intentional in how it progresses and advances, allowing you to build up your confidence and ability to tackle increasingly more complex tasks. In LearningFuze’s flipped classroom, you take charge of your learning and growth, which has been a game changer in my learning. I’ve become less intimidated by learning complex programming languages and can navigate through documentation with purpose and understanding.
Everyone at LearningFuze cares about your success and progress. Career services have provided mock interviews, workshops, and whiteboard interviews to help you transition into searching for and finding a job. These have been incredibly useful in demystifying the application process and gaining valuable feedback on how to prepare. Overall, if you demonstrate a commitment to learning and growing, you will be able to reap the full benefits of this program. 

Highly recommend the in-person full-stack web dev program! I had no prior experience with coding, so I wanted support and guidance from an accessible instructor and wanted to be in a productive working environment. Although the course emulates a professional working environment (most communication during class time is done via Slack), the camaraderie and rapport I built with classmates and the instructors during breaks helped my morale and momentum through this rigorous program. After only 14 weeks, I'm amazed that I can build a functional webpage on my own with tools and languages that I didn't even know the names of before I began my journey into coding! Tim and Cody are exceptional instructors. They are approachable, patient, and care about their students leaving the program with the confidence to learn anything. They teach you how to learn! No boring lectures, no busy work. Every assignment is meant to guide your thought process and build habits to solve any problem. Andreana and Casey in Career Services also are invaluable resources to help you prep your LinkedIn, interview skills, and resume for job readiness! The program goes by FAST and will probably be the only thing you do for 14 weeks. But if you can get comfortable with being uncertain, wrong, and tinkering with tools and concepts that you don't fully understand in the moment, trust the process and invest in yourself by enrolling in this life-changing experience!

I recently graduated from the 14 week in-person Web Development program at LearningFuze. As a graduate, I feel well prepared to begin my new career as a full-stack web developer. What makes a good developer? It's the ability to learn and adapt to new skills and technologies as needed. Learning how to learn is one of the primary goals for the students at LearningFuze. 

The curriculum is broken up into independent exercises. Each exercise begins with reading official documentation such as docs provided by Mozilla Developer Network, Reactjs.org, Nodejs.org, etc. After reading through the documentation, we would attempt to complete the exercise before engaging in a full class Q&A discussion about the exercise and its solution. I enjoyed this process of learning compared to the traditional approach where we would have our lectures before attempting the assigned material. This approach made our Q&A discussion very effective for understanding the material. The topics covered in this bootcamp include but are not limited to HTML, CSS, Responsive Design, JavaScript (ES5/ES6), APIs, AJAX/Fetch Requests, Node.js, Express.js, SQL, PostgreSQL, React.js, Data Structures, JavaScript Promises, OOP, Closures, Algorithms, and much more. There are also career services in which we work on building our Resumes and personal LinkedIn profiles. 

I really appreciated how the instructors ran the classroom like a professional workplace. All assignments were submitted as GitHub Pull Requests that needed Instructor code review before merging. Communication, including questions and concerns, occurred through Slack. During our Project weeks, we delivered daily stand-ups on our development progress. All together, LearningFuze has the goal of not only preparing us to be developers, but professionals as well. 

I am thankful to my instructors, Tim and Cody. They are both excellent instructors and genuinely seem to love what they do. I would highly recommend attending in-person if you can. I had a wonderful experience and will continue to be involved with the Alumni community for years to come. I highly recommend this LearningFuze for launching your career as a developer.

Joining the full-immersion web development bootcamp was definitely what I needed to get confident in my coding skills. It's not easy, but if you put in the hard work, you will see the how much you've learned. Learning full-stack allows you to start creating and working on almost any type of project. One thing I value a lot from the bootcamp is how it teaches you not to be afraid of documentation (especially official docs) and how to start learning and trying things out on your own. I'll be using this for the rest of my career and life!

One of the best things about the program is how much the staff really cares about each student's success. Success to them doesn't just mean spitting you out at the end of the camp, but rather it's you understanding the code and using that knowledge to build a career. Their curriculum is well made with each assignment building up to the next and constantly being improved by the instructors to better educate the students. I'm grateful to have attended and recommend this bootcamp to anybody looking to become a web developer. 

A couple months ago I decided to make a big decision in my life. I realized a lot from the pandemic and it changed my mindset on what I wanted to pursue. I decided to study on my own during the pandemic and step foot into web development. I found LearningFuze and made a choice to submit an application. It was the best decision I could have made in my life. I knew this bootcamp would would be hard going into it but you have all the help you need coming from the instructors and TA after hours. It was all worth it in the end and you will be surprised at how much you will accomplish in 14 weeks.

I decided to make a career change after 5 years of working at the same company and oh boy Im glad I did! Here are my thoughts on why LearningFuze (LFZ) is the best option! 

I'll be completely honest, while attending the LFZ prep course, (required before joining the program) I was nervous. The way the curriculum was presented was daunting. My entire academic career was always lecture first and thats all I really knew. LFZ takes a different approach through guided assignments, reading documentation, and then a Q&A style review of what you learned. 

My nervousness was not needed at all! Their way of teaching is a game changer! I only wish I was able to have this style of learning while going through my previous schooling. Not only do you retain information better, it teaches you how to learn on your own, which is 100% necessary in this field (the learning never stops, even after you graduate!).  

The instructors were fantastic and were always available for help. Don't be afraid to ask questions! Their knowledge and expertise is top notch and they are very personable. LFZ takes good care of you during and after the program. You'll have access to their career services and their vast network of alumni. The LFZ community really is a family which makes the experience that much more worth it. 

This course is an all in commitment and should not be taken lightly. 14 weeks and 800+ hours of dedication is intense. If you do decide to take the leap, and I highly recommend you do, you won't regret it. The people you'll meet and the connections you make are just bonuses compared to the amount of knowledge you'll gain from this experience. 

After much research on in-person coding bootcamps in Southern California, I chose to enroll at LearningFuze (LFZ). I enrolled knowing very little about how to code (one semester in college in C++). After going through the prep course and the in-person full immersion program, I do not have a single regret about choosing LFZ, out of all the bootcamps, as the bootcamp to enroll in. I would have never thought I'd be able to learn as much as I did in 14 weeks, all thanks to the instructors and career services staff at LFZ.

The course is definitely intense and requires full dedication and commitment.  I recommend making sure that you're able to sacrifice 14 weeks of your time to learn how to code. If you're able to, then choosing LearningFuze as your coding bootcamp is hands down the way to go. 

The first thing that comes to mind when writing this review is how much everybody within the staff of LearningFuze genuinely cares about the success of every student. The curriculum is all thought out and everything we learn has a purpose and reason. The curriculum, coupled with the instructors will have you coding projects from the ground up in no time.

It is really such a surprise in what you can learn and accomplish when you take the time to develop your skills. I am extremely grateful for the staff and recommend this bootcamp to anybody looking to seriously become a web developer.

As I'm entering my final week of Learning Fuze, I can confidently say that this is a great place to learn web development. That being said, it is an intense course that will require lots of dedication and hard work. However, if you're able to stick through it—you'll learn a lot. You'll also be going through this with your cohort who you end up bonding with throughout your time at LearningFuze. The instructors (Tim & Cody) as well as the career counselors are great and they truly care for your success. Overall, I would highly recommend this place if you're in the greater OC area.

LearningFuze is a great place to learn how to actually code.  They put a lot of focus on helping you understand what you're actually doing.  It is an intense course and you will be challenged daily.  The instructors are kind and patient and really want to help you learn how to solve the problems rather than just giving you the answer.  One thing that stands out for me is their amazing career service and the help they provide in getting you your first job.  I would highly recommend this bootcamp for anyone who really wants to take coding seriously.  

I have been surprised with the rigor that has gone into developing the curriculum at LearningFuze. It is hard but quite worth the effort. You will notice very quickly that the instructors at LFZ are there to help people change their lives. I am grateful for their belief in me and willingness to help me learn in a way that will continue to benefit me as I learn on my own after the program. I have had a great experience with job interview preparation as well. Cass and Bill are very insightful and willing to give you the feedback you need to achieve your goals. Overall, I am extremely grateful for LFZ and would recommend it to those wishing to make a change into tech. 

I enrolled in LearningFuze's Full Immersion Web Dev program in January 2022. The curriculum is well-paced and up-to-date and there is a substantial amount of material that is covered. It is fairly intense (which is expected from a boot camp) but you will not lose traction as you learn since you will be coding every day. The instructors are experienced and provide guidance and resources so the class mimics a real-world dev environment as closely as it can.  If a student puts in the effort, there is a lot to be gained from the program. Students can take advantage of an excellent career support team and the close-knit community of alumni LFZ has cultivated. 

To be completely honest, joining LearningFuze (LFZ) was the best decision I made since walking off  stage with my Master's degree in January 2020. The program is definitely challenging and intense; however, if you want to join a coding bootcamp for x amount of months it is more than expected to be so! Everything in the program is catered for the students. This includes the curriculum carefully created and updated by the instructors as well as the superior career services which dedicate time to help you show your best self on a resume or on your portfolio. The instructors are very knowledgeable with a surplus of years of experience who keep your interest at heart. They care and want you to succeed and it shows.

I would say I spent over 10 hours/day, 7 days a week for the entirety of the program to work on exercises/challenges/projects and study documentation to remember older material learned early on in the program. Other time was spent keeping up with my networks and going to meetups within the LFZ community. 

There is a lot that goes into the program, whether it be from your time, energy, or mental capacity; however, the outcome and payoff is worth every minute.
