Many past students have advanced degrees in Computer Science, Engineering, Musicology, Psychology, Finance, Mathematics, among others. It is essential that all applicants have a great personality, work ethic, and be able to solve basic logic problems.
Sabio's curriculum prepares students for entry-level developer jobs by incorporating a real-world project for a client and four weeks of career guidance.

Its more efficient than spending 4 years at a university studying computer science, having to take random classes and prerequisites before you can even begin learning about coding. It's more efficient than learning on your own and spending time going down all the rabbit holes and learning all sorts of random things that may or may not be useful when it comes to landing a job. Sabio tells you exactly what to learn and how long to spend learning it, after which you work on something tangible that you can show to recruiters to demonstrate your skills.
I took the full time program, and it is intense, something you need to be prepared for. The first half of the program is lectures and exercises, with assessments throughout to make sure you really understood what you've been learning. Instructors are almost always available for help with questions you may have. The second half is a real-world project that you will be working on that will rely on everything you've learned thus far. You'll be collaborating and getting hands-on experience with source control, two things you can't really get experience with if you learn coding on your own.
Myself and one other person in my cohort (107), both prior military, landed jobs before we even graduated. 4 months ago I knew little about coding outside of basic HTML and CSS. I'm now working for a big international tech company making $50+/hr. It is possible, it will just take a lot of work, and a little bit of luck.- ConnerAssociate Consultant • Graduate • Full Stack .Net Back-End with React Front End • OnlineOct 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

At the end of the course you work on a startup companies web application that you can put on your resume as real world experience. Sabio does a great job of ramping you up from knowing next to nothing about software development to being ready to hit the job market. I have friends who have gone to Sabio and friends who have attended other similar boot camps and the value you get at Sabio is unmatched. From the help you get during the course and the quality of you learning, to when you are being prepared for interviews and the job market, to after you graduate and the additional services they offer past graduation choosing Sabio is and was an easy choice.

Almost no experience to working a solid software engineering job in under 6 months
My experience here was awesome! I went from very little experience to working an incredible software engineering job in under 6 months flat. The course work is super thorough and the habits you build here are solid that absolutely prepare you for the real world of software development. They stick around to make sure that grads are taken care of and get into jobs that they are happy with.

Not easy, definitely worth it
Sabio is a great bootcamp for anyone willing to do the work. I did the full-time program which was 3 months long 9:00 am - 9:00 p.m. Mon- Fri and 9:00-3:00 on Saturday. And yes you are working the entire time except for your hour lunch break.
After completion of the program, they say it takes about 3-6 months to get a job in the industry, I and few others were able to sign offers before then but I would say they're generally correct about that assumption.

After completion of the program, they say it takes about 3-6 months to get a job in the industry, I and few others were able to sign offers before then but I would say they're generally correct about that assumption.
Now before attending Sabio I have never coded nor did I have any other IT experience, I was a machine operator after my time in the Marines making a few bucks over minimum wage in California, and now I have a job paying a little over 2.5x what I was making before.
The instructors do a very good job at explaining the material but I will say there are only 3 instructors that teach all of the cohorts at the same time, so you can definitely sense some attitude when they're explaining the same thing over and over again. I can't blame them for it really it's human nature but I do wish Sabio had more instructors just to give them a bit of a break. - Scott MatsudaFull Stack Developer • Graduate • Part Time Full Stack Web Developer Program • OnlineAug 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Long overdue!
A little background, I attended Sabio a couple years ago after I separated from the Air Force after 11 years of service. I had taken a few lessons on Codecademy and knew that this something I wanted to explore as I transitioned careers. Although I didn’t want to fully commit to a CS degree just yet and decided that a bootcamp was the best option for me.

I had taken a few lessons on Codecademy and knew that this something I wanted to explore as I transitioned careers. Although I didn’t want to fully commit to a CS degree just yet and decided that a bootcamp was the best option for me. As a vet, I was able to attend through Antioch University and utilize my GI bill benefit. I graduated with cohort 57, which was full of some awesome individuals that I looked forward developing with every day. My pre-work experience was a little different than most since I was going through Antioch. It consisted attending a class a few hours a week and learning the base level knowledge you need to do well in the program. The class was all veterans due to the fact that we were all using the GI bill. Our instructor Danny did a great job of teaching us what we needed to pass the entrance assessment you need to pass to be able to attend the actual bootcamp. I personally like that they have assessment prior to the bootcamp. It allows them to be able to weed out the individuals that aren’t really serious about the program or don’t fully grasp all the concepts you need to keep up with the intense workload ahead. This saves those individuals a lot of time and money, while ensuring a productive environment for instruction during the bootcamp. During the bootcamp you spend 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week, learning how to become a full-stack developer while working on a real-world project with your cohort. Our instructors Dan and John were there between 9am-6pm during the week to instruct us and help us with things we didn’t understand. I can’t say enough good things about the instructors. They were very knowledgeable and helpful, but wouldn’t just give you answers and made you at least try and figure things out on your own at first. You might not realize it at the time, but this is vital to your success post Sabio. When you land your first job, the instructors won’t be there to help you through bugs and you’ll have to figure them out yourself. The experience I got working on our project was very similar to what I experienced at my first job post Sabio. Towards the end of the bootcamp they’ll help you with getting your resume together, applying to jobs, and preparing for interviews. My overall experience was nothing short of amazing. I went from not knowing how to code to receiving multiple six figure offers prior to the bootcamp ending. I will note though that I had an easier time than most in my cohort landing interviews and this was mainly due to the fact that I have a highly sought-after security clearance. I ended up taking a job as an associate software engineer at a great company shortly after finishing the program. I’m very grateful for Gregorio, Liliana, and all the instructors for providing me with the tools I needed to succeed in a career field that I have come to love. One final note is that Sabio will provide you with the tools you need to write your success story, but they can’t write it for you. You must put in a lot of time and hard work both during the program and after in order to succeed. - Alberto ACSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Los AngelesSep 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had the pleasure of having Brijesh as our Product Lead - he is an All-Star. He has an unwavering commitment that I personally experienced working with him on our project. He was readily available, always pushed us, and definitely put in the hours as we got closer to the finish line. Without a doubt, there will be moments (maybe many) of "What am I doing?", but keeping one foot in front of the other, leveraging your resources, and ultimately plugging in the hours will get you through.

Starting I hadn't written a single line of code before (outside of their prerequisite courses). With Sabio I learned how to develop the fundamentals of making an application. From HTML basic front end technology to advanced algorithims in real world applications. My experience with Sabino led me to working for an incredible mortgage tool company with strong knowledge and career experience on how to create incredibly dynamic applications. Sabio ensured before I entered the work environment I was proficient in many subjects including development to interview prep and resume writing.
What I took away from Sabio(tech):
Experience working as a full stack developer with the city of Los Angeles.
.NET / C# server side programming as well as request response methods.
Javascript front end programming
HTML and Bootstrap design and implementation.
SQL server programming and database storage.
jQuery front end manipulation.

If you're reading this you probably have the same questions as I did. You probably are trying to pivot your career, or are trying to get a good one without getting into the atrocious student debt life. You've also been researching relentlessly on bootcamps. You're probably asking a variant of the following: "Is it worth all this money? All this time? My social life? Will I get a job after the program?" The short answer is yes. I wish I had enrolled way before. I got a job as a full stack...If you're reading this you probably have the same questions as I did.

You're probably asking a variant of the following: "Is it worth all this money? All this time? My social life? Will I get a job after the program?" The short answer is yes. I wish I had enrolled way before. I got a job as a full stack developer in just over a month after graduating, and many got it before that.
You will learn and do impressive projects that employers love to see on a portfolio. The instructors and the owners even teach you how to get the job at the end, what to do during an interview, how to talk to recruiters, etc.
Yes, the hours are long and you will get frustrated while learning a difficult subject, but it is a worthy short-term sacrifice for your future. If you feel that you're ready for it, do not hesitate like I did, and enroll in Sabio!
