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.- Kasiet RakhimdinovaStudent • Full-Stack Web Development Bootcamp In-Person • Orange CountyVerified by LinkedInMay 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Totally worth my time!
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.

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.

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! - BrandonStudent • IrvineVerified by LinkedInFeb 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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 Team of LearningFuze

Real-world, fast-paced environment
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.

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.
