    Exceeded expectations, but not without its flaws

    Bottom line: This bootcamp works.  I got a job offer within the first 2 weeks of graduation, and then even a better offer 2 weeks after. It helped me accomplish exactly what I needed to do: find my first dev job, and more: an amazing first dev job, so many valuable connections. 

    Sabio is effective because Liliana and Gregorio have established a tried and true process that just works: Prework, Lab, cohort (with the big project), interview prep, then post grad support. However, it'...

    Take the leap!

    Just completed my cohort at Sabio this month and I must say that I have no regrets. I was hesitatant at first but glad I took the leap. The coding boot camp is definitely challenging but you are given all the tools necessary to be successful in the boot camp and in the work field once you graduate.

    Rebooted my Career in 3 months!

    Coming from a research background, I did my due diligence in selecting the right bootcamp that would be rigorous and would hold its students to the highest standards.  I was invited to attend a couple bootcamps that had weak and easy "assessments" and I found myself questioning that --  I wanted to be around people who were highly motivated and driven to become software developers, and I found that to be true at Sabio.

    The instructors are not afraid of uncomfortable situations an...

    Great Experience

    TLDR: I had a great experience at this bootcamp. I began working (and more importantly performing well) within about 3 months of graduating. I was not very familiar with development before starting, and do not have a college degree and now I work for a company that I am thrilled to work for. 

    I recently graduated as a full stack web developer from Sabio's .Net offering in Culver City. Gregorio was my instructor. I had the great opportunity to be surrounded by people who were driv...

    Not worth the debt

    I was part of C60 sabio, when signing up with Sabio there were statistics of how great their program was and how they helped a substantial amount of graduates find jobs once the cohort was completed.

    Unfortunately for my cohort and myself this wasn’t the case. Out of the 12 members of cohort 60 less than half of us are in a full time coding position.

    Our instructor for the cohort was seemingly pushed out near the end of our time which...

    TAKE THE LEAP. You won't regret it

    This review is for the Culver City location.

    I enrolled in the beginning of January with Gregorio as my head instructor. Everyday was a challenge, but that's what you want, that's what you're paying for. 3 months may seem like a long time, but if you consider the fact that your life WILL change post bootcamp, it is absolutely worth it. 

    The thing that separated Sabio from other bootcamps is the sense of community you feel right away. You have access to almuni, instructo...

    Trust the Plan!

    This review is for the Culver City, CA location.

    Going to a bootcamp is intense. At first I didn’t think I would be able to make it to the end. 

    A lot of the curriculum and what we were learning didn’t make any sense to me. The ideology of learn how first then why, scared me and was very different from the learning style that I was used to.

    However, by the 6-7th week of the program. Of trusting in Gregorio’s plan (putting in the hours, learning how to use Goog...

    Wonderful boot camp, taught by honest, genuine people

    If you're reading this review, you're probably where I was, about 6 months ago. I was in the middle of a career change, trying to figure out what exactly I wanted to do next, when I decided that I wanted to learn how to code and become a developer.

    If you want the short version, I highly recommend this program. I learned a TON in just three months, and I got two job offers within two weeks of finishing the program.

    If you want the long version, keep reading...

    The Best Decision I've Ever Made

    Six months ago I was a down on my luck actor, with no college degree, living off of a rapidly decreasing savings account. Now I am a full-time Web Developer with a salary and benefits at a company I love.

    Before going to Sabio, I had messed around with teaching myself to code and freelancing. However, I felt like I had hit a point where I needed some more guidance and direction. I had heard about bootcamps but had assumed they were too good to be true.

    Earlier this year...

    College in a few months

    I remeber being in your shoes reading these reviews... Thinking to my self, full of doubt, these can't be true. Why isn't everyone else doing this? And let me tell you most of these reviews are true, because what happened to me is a true story. And to be honest, the reason why not everyone does it, is simply because it is not for everybody. Let me just begin by telling you that the way SABIO does it is really, safe for you as a student. Because they first hold warm up classes and then you ...

    Front End Developer

    By far the best bootcamp to attend in SoCal if you are trying to make a career shift into coding. The reason I'd recommend this place over others such as Hack Reactor or Coding Dojo, is because this place trains you like you are working in a real life environment. You are assigned to a start up during your bootcamp and are responsible for creating a live working product for that entrepreneur. I think this is a game changer.

    A Great Choice

    It's hard to imagine that 6 months ago I was in an entirely different line of work and now I write code for a living, all thanks to Sabio. I was at a stage in my career where my earnings potential was limited due to not having enough hard skills on my resume. I decided to learn programming and found my way to Sabio's prework, which solidified my interest in programming along with the school itself. Before cohort started, I mentally prepared myself for what I thought would be the toughest 3...
