Founded in 2010, Sabio is a tech training provider offering 13- and 17-week full-time coding bootcamps and a 21-week part-time bootcamp in Los Angeles, Orange County, and online. Sabio specializes in Mobile, Front End, Back End, Source Control, Database, and Development platforms across the full stack, and students can specialize in Node.js or .Net to help jumpstart their careers. By incorporating project-based learning into its curriculum, it offers students a comprehensive experience of all phases of software development. It was founded by tech industry innovators, and it is now taught exclusively by experts from companies such as Fox, Gamefly, Stack Overflow and TMZ.
Prior programming experience is not required, but applicants with prior experience are given a faster track. A technical assessment is available immediately or within four weeks of the 17-week program for full-time students. The application process at Sabio identifies motivated and engaged students from diverse backgrounds. 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. Prior to starting the intensive bootcamp, students receive four weeks of pre-work conducted by instructors. Every student at Sabio has access to extended mentorship and a five-year professional development program. Sabio instructors have over 100 years combined experience in software engineering. Small class sizes and expert instruction give students an edge when it comes to competing for jobs. A Sabio instructor must be an executive or C-level executive before teaching in the classroom, and must undergo an intensive vetting process. It provides students with a high-level education and a unique real-life perspective that prepares them for a more elevated career path.
A California-approved company, Sabio innovates based on market knowledge, experience, and expertise.
Just last year I was approaching 20 years of being a developer for the same company. I did not have many other developers around me, and I felt like I was falling behind watching the "outside" world of technology expand. My income was favorable and steady; yet, having to make a change was a must, and I felt like I couldn't waste much time with traditional schooling or even through online courseware.

Just last year I was approaching 20 years of being a developer for the same company. I did not have many other developers around me, and I felt like I was falling behind watching the "outside" world of technology expand. My income was favorable and steady; yet, having to make a change was a must, and I felt like I couldn't waste much time with traditional schooling or even through online courseware.
Learning about coding bootcamps was intriguing as they offered anyone the chance to learn about current development frameworks and libraries quickly, and apply those skills going forward. In my search for a local bootcamp, I found Sabio to stand out because it did not make empty promises. It was very honest about laying out expectations and the level of commitment needed for myself and my family to obtain a measure of success.
I selected Sabio based on multiple factors. The main one was their partnership with Antioch University. From this stance, I was able to enroll and participate in the pre-work through Antioch in evening class sessions. This period was what I called, "testing the waters." Whereas, I was testing whether I could I exert the additional energy to drive to class after work, learn about new tools and coding principles within a structured flow, be excited to be there, do the homework exercises, and continue to be pleased with doing this again and again over 12 weeks.
Not only was I energized, I felt exalted. I was able to see the potential for more opportunities, and I couldn't wait to move onward to the immersive program. So, I gave ample notice to my employer that I would be resigning my position to commit wholly to the immersive program later that year. Based on my situation, many of my friends and colleagues thought I was taking an enormous risk; yet, as I continued to convey my impressions about Sabio and to the critical need for quality developers in today's market, they recognized my bold outlook and envied my courage.
The design of the immersive program was one of those other main factors as to why I chose Sabio; it engages you in a real-world project with a real business owner invested in the outcomes of yours and your colleagues' work. So just days after leaving my previous job I felt like I was starting a new one, via the immersive program. From day one we hit the ground running, establishing rapport and finding strengths among our diverse group of other "developers." I viewed our instructors as great team leaders who had extensive knowledge and were always able to balance the notion of providing enough guidance to help you overcome a bug, or understand an intricate design pattern in the code versus just giving away the answer. They would also lead our daily Scrum meetings at the start of the day to promote the principles of Agile development.
As a group of peers, we regularly supported each other through code reviews and publishing. A useful teaching mechanism used in the program is to identify a topic or a recent implementation of the code and take a break within the day to pause and present to the whole group how he/she accomplished it. Most of these times, the instructors were there to guide the discussion; yet, encouraged us to be comfortable with talking openly about our code, There were instances after the instructors went home for the day, we instituted teacher sessions amongst ourselves. On a personal note, that is an example why I miss the high level of collaboration we had.
While my prior years of development positioned me as senior developer among my peers, I considered myself to be at the same standard level in that we all aspire to learn to code well by using the tools and cloud-based resources many employers are seeking candidates with practical experience. And that's an essential takeaway you should understand. Employers and their recruiters are not looking for dabblers in the hottest new trend in tech. They need people with unique skills that come from practical experience based on working in an environment like this; where specific requirements are given to you to tackle and write code to provide a solution.
The intensive part is that you need to put in the time working with your team, your instructors, the project owner, learning new concepts, coding, debugging, and even dreaming in code. All this effort pays off towards the end of the program when you realize how much you have learned and are indeed able to move forward with your career as a developer.
Be aware of the final two weeks of the program. It comes at you fast because this is when you shift from developing all the time to preparing for interviews and job searching. It's a bit jarring as I remember many my of colleagues hating this phase because you start to miss coding. During this period, the program directors, instructors, and the support staff do a great job with providing information and setting expectations, and this is when should follow their recommendations and utilize their time and resources as much as possible because you are establishing a momentum for yourself to manage your job hunt going forward.
Some of your peers will find jobs right away, and some will take longer to find the right match. It all varies, but incredibly the jobs are out there, and Sabio is there as a resource even after ending your program, and you're in your new workplace or if you are not. Sabio allows you to be connected and call upon other past graduates as a community to help with code, discuss new frameworks, share job postings, exchange playlists for coding, or get advice on dealing with your new boss or workmates.
It has been a fantastic journey, and I have new colleagues, and friends to share my challenges and success. A notable achievement includes a 30% pay increase from what I earned before. It is nice to have that; however, my new job setting gives me a better sense of purpose. And I find that to be more fulfilling. In all, I genuinely am reaping the benefits of choosing Sabio. It is no bootcamp, it is a program that provided a transformative experience where it was a distinct honor to have worked within my cohort, and I feel very privileged to be part of the Sabio community.
Selecting a bootcamp should be treated with great care because you are investing money and time towards your next chapter of finding success and being happy. I applaud you for reading through reviews because I too discovered from the reports that there are a number coding bootcamps that fall short in preparing the world in need of quality coders.
Selecting one of Sabio's programs and putting forth the effort to code and collaborate with others will set you on a path with many more opportunities.
I wish you well with finding your new career path. Good hunting.
