I was hesitant to sign up for a full time bootcamp knowing the hours of attention needed to be successful in/out of class, so when I found out Northwestern had a part time option I went for it.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. If you have done any coding tutorials/research at all and show your interest in web development you will be fine. I was glad I had already come up with all my boot camp questions before answering my phone call from the trilogy recruiter, as the i...
I was hesitant to sign up for a full time bootcamp knowing the hours of attention needed to be successful in/out of class, so when I found out Northwestern had a part time option I went for it.
Interview process was fairly straightforward. If you have done any coding tutorials/research at all and show your interest in web development you will be fine. I was glad I had already come up with all my boot camp questions before answering my phone call from the trilogy recruiter, as the initial phone call is the start of your interview.
Prework is basic enough to not scare you but gives a sneak peak into the basics of what you'll cover over the six or three month course.
If you are starting from zero as I did, I HIGHLY recommend studying as much as possible through resources like Code School and Udemy to gain as much traction as possible and be prepared for what is coming. Having some knowledge of the base concepts in each technology/language we were going to cover in the course absolutely helped in completing assignments and understanding the material.
My instructor was hands down one of the BEST instructors I've ever had in my life. The encouragement, support, and knowledge he had of anything we discussed was outstanding. He knew exactly when the class needed some emotional support and a pep talk and was honest about his own experience in job seeking and pushing through the discouraging and encouraging parts of entering this job path. My instructor took time to prepare review sessions during office hours, build applications from scratch, and recorded videos on his own if we ran out of time during official class hours. Just enough fun to keep my attention but serious enough to get the work done. It is obvious he genuinely cares about the success of every single student who enters his classroom. I cannot say enough good things about the instruction I had.
Research instructors and read reviews if possible to find an instructor whose teaching style works for you. Everyone is different, and having an instructor that fits well with your learning style is essential to being successful.
Career services is the only part of the course that felt disorganized. The career services isn't necessarily anyone within your city (same goes for your tutor, if you use them--I had a fantastic experience once I got a TA directly linked to the Northwestern Triology program), and I think it would have been more beneficial to have interacted and built a relationship with one career advisor throughout the course instead of being passed around to multiple people. Comments on my online portfolio and resume seemed a little robotic.
Other than that -- amazing experience. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a career change or to upgrade their current skillset. I am a little terrified to begin the job search but feel like I have a lot of people rooting for me.
