LearningFuze
LearningFuze is a coding bootcamp that offers full-time and part-time web development and data science bootcamps in-person at their Irvine, California campus and online. Students are taught by experienced instructors who have all held professional engineering careers, and receive support throughout the course, including problem-solving skills, essential workplace and interviewing skills, and mindset training.
In the Web Development bootcamp, students learn full stack front and back end development. The curriculum covers HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Typescript, Git/GitHub, React, Node.JS, Express.JS, PostgreSQL, Tailwind, Servers, Databases and AWS deployment. Students will participate in hackathons and build two custom portfolio applications during the course.
In the data science bootcamp, students learn data science, artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

Coming from a background as an elementary school teacher and no formal coding exposure or experience, I had plenty of apprehensions about learning any kind of web development in such a short period of time. I am in now in week 9 of the 12 week full immersion program. Looking back at the last 8 weeks of the program, I am in awe of what I have been able to learn and create. It has been quite a unique learning experience.

Coming from a background as an elementary school teacher and no formal coding exposure or experience, I had plenty of apprehensions about learning any kind of web development in such a short period of time. I am in now in week 9 of the 12 week full immersion program. Looking back at the last 8 weeks of the program, I am in awe of what I have been able to learn and create. It has been quite a unique learning experience.
Some of the exceptional aspects:
1)Instructors
The instructors are what make Learning Fuze so exceptional. As a student who was struggling to understand some of the most foundational concepts in the beginning, I found immense support during class time, on the weekend (whether it be through a Google Hangout or during the open hours on Saturday), and after class time during the week. They are extremely knowledgeable and supportive and have been a vital resource in navigating my way into becoming a web developer.
2)Materials/Information/Access
Prior to the program, Learning Fuze provides a comprehensive guide to materials you should reference, read, and/or utilize before beginning the program. Their prep courses are a great introduction to the foundational concepts needed for web development and also give a small glimpse into what the full time program will be like, as well. In retrospect, it is easy for me to see that they have thoughtfully designed this to help students prepare for the full immersion program (particularly those of us who have no previous coding background). Additionally, the curriculum during the program is extremely comprehensive considering the short timeline.
Another great resource provided is job search support. Starting from the first week, we have been provided with tips on creating our resume, LinkedIn profiles, interviewing practice, and hearing guest speakers from the industry. This aspect has been extremely beneficial and educational as I pursue this career change.
Some of the challenges:1)Pace
When I first began researching bootcamps, I kept reading about the fast pace associated with an accelerated web development program but didn’t fully comprehend what that meant until I was a part of it. The pace of the Learning Fuze bootcamp is faster than any educational environment I have experienced. The same day that you learn about a topic (or multiple topics), you are also coding a project to apply those skills. This definitely could feel daunting and overwhelming at times but with the support of the instructors, it was manageable...still challenging, but manageable.
2)Workload/Time
While the technical class hours are Monday -Friday from 10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m., the studying time, practice exercises, and projects that need to be completed will easily require your focus and a time commitment of 7 days a week and about 12-14 hours a day (including the 10-6 time on Monday-Friday).
Overall, I am extremely pleased with my decision to choose Learning Fuze bootcamp as my school of choice to pursue a career in web development. As challenging as it has been, I have seen my abilities improve more than I could’ve imagined and I have grown even more passionate about building my coding abilities than before starting the program. Learning Fuze has been a great place to learn.

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. - Sarah YouJunior Software Engineer • Graduate • IrvineVerified by GitHubSep 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

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 Software Engineering Bootcamp Full-Time In-Person • Orange CountyVerified by LinkedInMay 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I took the part time software engineering program and couldn't be happier with what I learned.

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.

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.

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
