LearningFuze

LearningFuze has provided an excellent program with quality instructors and supporters. The coursework is tough and it's full of challenging, but it is definitely valuable.

The cohort that I have taken had the unique experience of performing online learning due to the COVID-19. Nevertheless, we were able to receive excellent trainings and education. I was pretty amazed by how seamless the transition was, and how dedicated the instructors were teaching in spite of the unusual situation.
In all, I’m very happy with my decision to select LearningFuze. I feel like I have gained valuable experience, learned programming, coding, and developing a lot, and have met so many new people. If you’re having thoughts about joining the program, I highly recommend contacting LearningFuze.

In addition to the actual coding skills, LearningFuze taught me to think like a programmer, new problem solving skills, new strategies for learning, and new ways of thinking. Four months after graduation I landed an amazing job.

There is a heavy emphasis on providing a simulated workplace environment. There is a capstone final project, and you will build a beautiful and impressive portfolio using your various projects from the course. The curriculum is designed to prepare you to hit the ground running as a new member of a software development team.

They dont make big claims, promises, or sugar coat.
They prepare you for the reality of the job hunt and provide top notch career services.
They equip you for success in the job market and in your career.
They create opportunities for you with speakers, events, introductions.
The alumni community is highly talented and supportive.

Go see for yourself!

Choosing to attend LearningFuze has been one of my greatest choices in life. I am currently in week 10 out of 12 and can create useful web applications. If you told me 3 months ago that I would be able to create applications from scratch, I would never have believed you. However, here I am 3 months later and I am proud of what I have accomplished.

Here is a list of reasons why you should consider LearningFuze.

1- Instructors

The instructors are amazing! They have worked previously as developers and have the knowledge and experience of what it takes to get into the market. They will not let anyone fall behind. If you feel that you might grasp concepts a little slower than others, do not worry, they offer tutoring sessions for those that need it. Most of them are available before and after hours monday through friday. Additionally, they often come on Saturdays and offer help online over the weekend.

2- Curriculum

The curriculum is great! The curriculum is based on technologies that a majority of employers are looking for in a web developer. The program will teach you both front end and back end technologies. Not only do you work on solo projects, you also work on projects as a team. This will prepare you for a real job where most likely, you would be placed on a team of developers.

3- Career Services

They do not leave you in the dust after finishing the program. Their success comes from the success that their student achieve when finding jobs. They are motivated and offer plenty of resources on how to land a job. They will prepare you for interviews by practicing whiteboard problems, performing mock-interviews, and creating a well structured resume. They help create a LinkedIn profile and GitHub to show off to employers. Also, they host job fairs and bring in developers from prestiged companies to give us tips. During my time here, they brought in a developer from Blizzard and it was cool hearing his experience and how he got there.

There are many more reasons to choose LearningFuze but these are the ones that set it apart from the rest. I drive 65 miles each way to attend this program and it is more than worth it. It really is as good as the reviews are.

Deciding on the right bootcamp can be a strenuous process as we all want to do our due diligence prior to making the commitment. I visited a few different bootcamps during my search for the right one. Teaching style, quality of instructors, and culture were deciding factors for me, and these were all clear after taking both prep courses offered by LearningFuze. My decision was made and it was firm. Coming into this with no knowledge of programming, the instructors are extremely passionate about teaching while making the material as digestible as possible. They are there to lend a helping hand at any given time. The curriculum is strategically designed with assignments and projects that utilize concepts taught at the current moment as well as previous ones. The projects and group work simulate a technical environment to prepare you to play a vital role in the workforce. In addition to preparing you with the proper skills to become a programmer, they also offer excellent job preparation throughout the course.

Overall, the program is by no means a walk in the park. However, with the extensive resources and assistance that are offered from LearningFuze in conjunction with hard work and dedication, it is the most rewarding experience.

I recently finished up LFZ's 12 week full time immersion program and would like to share my thoughts. 
Before attending the program, I was looking at other boot camps and to be honest the others had wowed me a little more at first. One boot camp was next to the Chargers training facility, had sport Wednesday and had cool rooms. But when I went into the orientations and did more research I noticed that I was looking at boot camps wrong. I wasn't planning on spending all that money and time just to have fun. This was about my future and about a career change. I knew as soon as i completed the program I needed to be job ready to land my first job without any prior coding experience. So I made pro's and con's list, I looked over reviews, instructors, and I asked current and past students for their feedback. I found some mixed reviews but a majority of it was positive. I went with LFZ because of Dan's (Lead Instructors) experience and his honesty in the info session. He wasn't trying to sell you on getting rich but was honest that not everyone makes a ton of money right out of the gate. It is all about those who put in what they want to get back. To me, it was an absolutely amazing program. Not only do they teach current tech, have passionate and inspiring instructors, they also truly care about each student. If you are looking into a boot camp, I would highly recommend LFZ. They will take care of you but make sure you do your absolute best, ask questions, and push through all the challenges.  

I have just completed my 12-week immersion course with LearningFuze and it has changed my life. I have always been interested in coding and learning various languages but had little development experience outside of copying code and pasting it hoping it would work. Now that I have gone through the 12-week immersion program I have been able to write multiple apps by myself as well as various team centered apps.

 

The biggest difference between LearningFuze and other programs that I investigated was that LearningFuze takes the time to get to know you and your skills and then helps you gear up for the full immersion course with two shorter programs to teach you the basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Then when you are in the program you take a really deep dive into these topics and build real-world applications to truly understand how to think like a programmer and how to work through the development lifecycle from beginning to end.

 

At LearningFuze you do not only learn languages like HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript / jQuery, but you are exposed to PHP and MySQL. You create various apps that test your logical thinking and then you start to work as groups to bring together various technologies (AWS, APIs, JSON, AJAX) to create real world applications that solve particular problems. There are code reviews for you and your groups to help improve your code and to show you that there is no one way to write code to solve even similar problems.

 

The instructors are top-notch and take the time to get to know your name, where you are coming from and have a great ability to explain difficult concepts in a simpler manner that you can understand. This level of commitment doesn’t end when you finish the program. You are given time during the program to work on your resume, interviewing skills and various whiteboard challenges to prepare you for after the program. They have staff members dedicated to helping you find a job after the program and have great connections in the Southern California area and beyond.

 

This is a culture of helping and setting you up for success after the program. They are personally invested in your understanding and knowledge and look for ways to help you whenever they can. If anyone ever asks me about which accelerated web development program they should look into I will direct them here so that they can have the same experiences that I had. 5 stars

I have had an exceptionaly fun time at this academy, they put you in the environment of being in the workplace and give you the opportunity to learn first hand what it would be like.  We had the mentor of a senior level programmer which gave us some deep level understanding of the industry and what we would need to know to succeed in the field.  The projects we were tasked with completeting were fun and tough at the same time, each time learning a new concept to bring us deeper into the understanding of programming.  You learn to work in a team atmosphere and have projects and hackathons that resolve around this concept, which is a great learning experience because you will have to learn how not just you program but how others around you do.

Long story short, I was not happy with my career. I decided to quit my job and start the long venture coding\programming. After speaking to friends and going over many options, I decided to check out LearningFuze in Irvine. I was a bit apprehensive at first since I had no real first hand experience with coding but after the initial info session, I was all in. Between the friendly and welcoming staff and the fact that the majority of the students had no prior exposure to coding but were still enrolled, this gave me the confidence to move forward with enrolling at LearningFuze. During my cohort, we were taught a variety of skills such as Javascript, React, Redux on the front end and Node.js and PHP for back end. Since this was a full immersion program, we were coding up to fourteen hours a day, five days a week for 12 weeks. We also put together various projects both alone, and in groups. The group projects were especially rewarding as they greatly emphasized on the team dynamic. These hack-a-thons as they were called, were a true real world sprint in not just coding in tandem, but also a teaching us to better our communication skills (which is something that can easily be overlooked). Even after completion of the program, we are still allowed to come in and work on various projects. The staff is always ready and willing to help us acheive our goals even after our program is over. This mentoring alone is what sold me on Learning Fuze.
