Great institution, I would honestly recommend it to everyone out there looking for a career switch or just someone looking to learn a new skill, Melsoft Academy is the best place to start. I've faced challenges along the way as someone with no prior coding experience and the mentors have been so helpful and all the students have been so welcoming and fun to be around. The atmoshere at Melsoft Academy is so unreal and the fact that we're able to interact with the CEO Larreth was such a shock at first. He's given me personally advice and guidance on so much and the volunteer positions that they offer are so helpful and really give you a sneak peak on how things in the real world work. -

I am currently 8 months into the software engineering bootcamp and since I started I have not stopped growing . I started with no prior experience in coding and now can confidently create websites from scratch. I have been exposed and connected with many people in the industry, from CEO's and Founders to junior and senior developers in the space. There's not a lot of programmes that give you value for money but melsoft is one of the very few that do because they don't only teach you the skills but they connect you with the right people. Thank you Melsoft for helping me on my journey! I highly recommend. -

A more applicable and more accessible for an individual. I had began the program on the 5 of June, and it has been a a beautiful experience, I had discoverd that I am a charismatic person. The Melsoft Academy makes an individual blend in with other individuals. The course brings out levels and we get to interact with in pairs, navigate challenges and conclude a solution at the end of the program or the levels. So far, we have already learnt html, which was the creative side of coding. It was more on building an open-minded webiste or project. We proceeded to learning CSS with is more of making the project responsive. -

Family orientated journey

Before I even joined Melsoft, I was searching for a bootcamp that would provide me with a sense of family connection. One that would allow me to be held accountable, offer support, and not make me feel like just another number on their list. Beyond their curriculum, Melsoft welcomed me with open arms, and I have never been happier.
I am currently halfway through my course, and it has been a journey of self-discovery. From challenging myself during peer-to-peer projects to embracing new technologies and languages, I have been placed in positions reserved for freelancers or those in employment as well as beyond that I have acquired leadership skills alongside my coursework. I am eagerly anticipating the person I will become by the end of this journey. -

I am about to complete my studies at Melsoft Academy, and here's my assessment of the program:
The curriculum at Melsoft Academy is comprehensive and covers a wide range of programming language and technologies, including JavaScript, React, and Node.js. The content is up-to-date with industry standards, and I appreciated the emphasis on practical, real-world projects.
The instructors at Melsoft Academy were knowledgeable and experienced. They were always available to answer questions and provide guidance. However, there were a few instances when I felt that some concepts could have been explained more clearly.
The bootcamp offers both full-time and part-time options, which was convenient for students with various schedules. I chose the full-time program, which lasts 6 months and was quite intensive. It requires a significant time commitment but was worth it in terms of the skills gained.
Melsoft Academy places a strong emphasis on practical projects. I built a portfolio of projects that I'm proud to showcase to potential employers. These real-world projects gave me hands-on experience and boosted my confidence as a developer, they provided excellent support through mentorship and career counseling. I received valuable feedback on my resume, LinkedIn profile, and interview preparation.
Melsoft Academy provided me with the skills and support needed to transition into a career in tech. While there were minor areas for improvement, I highly recommend Melsoft Academy to anyone looking to kickstart their career in programming. -

As a non-technical founder with a food delivery startup idea, I needed to build an app but didn't have the skills. Thankfully, I discovered Melsoft Academy! Their full-stack bootcamp gave me the programming abilities to oversee the development my own MVP. Beyond coding, they provided invaluable guidance on designing features, planning technical architecture, and best practices for startups. This was done thanks to the assistance of the senior software engineers Byron & Larreth. I collaborated with other aspiring founders which accelerated my learning. Within months, I had a functioning prototype ready for launch! None of this would've been possible without the world-class instruction, mentorship, and hands-on learning environment at Melsoft. My startup journey changed overnight. I can't give enough thanks to Melsoft for giving me the tools to turn my idea into reality! -

This coming from someone who has been in other boot camps and is well-versed in training programs. It means a great deal when I Say that Melsoft Academy is one of a kind.
It is Full-stack, meaning Front and Back-end languages and Frameworks are taught.
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, UX/UI design, Node.js, and Express are among the subjects covered in the Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp. Small class sizes and group projects are used at the Bootcamp to enhance the learning environment
The lessons are Interactive and informative, they cover the fundamentals and include demonstrative videos and extra resources, and industry-demanded tools like Git.
The projects have real-world relevance, they are individual and paired, with constructive feedback & deadlines that have students industry ready for project and time management skills.
When studying through Melsoft you not only have a community of learners and mentors on the online platform, but a chatbot namely, Leo for after-hours help. You are never alone, The mentors and Melsoft Academy team treat your journey as their own & go the extra mile to ensure you're well on your way with guidance and support, not to mention the option to schedule a call to be brought to speed, and familiar/fall into place with topics struggled with.
In essence, with Melsoft, I look forward to learning, perfecting my craft, and having the community and guidance from the team and mentors that share my vision and passion for technology to further my development and shape the students of today into the developers of tomorrow.

I came to Melsoft without any experience in coding , the course really helped me grow from being nothing to making me feel like I have a sense of purpose. Our mentors Larreth and Laurice has been hands on , they are with you throughout , every meeting they are present , they are running the academy yet they make time to answer any questions you may have . The teacher assistants are friendly and open to offering feedback/advice regardless of time. I appreciate the fact that they give you time to sink in all the theory and then gives you time to prove yourself in a practical project after every level, but the cherry on the cake is them offering job or part time opportunities where you can gain real experiences while learning. After your course you get a internship and interview tips on how to land a job in tech. -

As a software engineering student, Melsoft Academy provided a solid foundation in coding and development. The curriculum was well-structured, offering deep dives into key programming languages and frameworks.
The instructors were a standout feature—they were not only knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in our learning, making sure that even the most challenging topics were accessible.One of the academy's strengths was its focus on hands-on projects, which allowed me to apply theory in real-world scenarios. This practical approach greatly enhanced my understanding and gave me confidence in my coding abilities.
However, the bootcamp's pace was intense, and at times, it felt overwhelming. While the supportive environment and peer collaboration helped, I believe that extending some modules or offering additional resources for self-paced learning could have made the experience smoother.
Overall, Melsoft Academy excelled at delivering a comprehensive, immersive learning experience that significantly boosted my skills. For future students, I recommend being prepared for a rigorous journey, but one that will undoubtedly pay off in the end. -

The curriculum is very relevant to the tech industry market. The projects taught me core skills that are in need for full stack developers. The videos in the course are however poorly explained. Specifically Level 5: Frontend with React & Redux, the instructor did not explain the content adequately and so working on the project was a bit challenging. The LinkedIn webinars that were held on Wednesdays were really helpful as they pushed me to optimise my LinkedIn and that's how I got hired as a developer. The bootcamp is worth the price. -
