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.

I'm sure if you are reading this, you were in a similar position that I was in 6-7 months ago. Either unemployed, or working somewhere you were unhappy. At this point, I am unimaginably and immensely thankful for the opportunity I was provided with at Sabio. Before further elaborating on my experience, I recommend to all of you to do your RESEARCH. Make the decision yourself. Most reviews on this site are positive reviews for the bootcamp that a person may have come out from because most experiences were positive. I didn't go to any other bootcamps, so I have no real comparison to delve into. However, I did do my own research and I felt that Sabio would be the best fit for me. Go to their information session. Speak with the instructor in the area and ask as many questions you may have. Go to other bootcamp info sessions and make the final decision for yourself. I am just going to give you my two cents on why I chose Sabio. It's long so TLDR is on the bottom.
Before starting, I had originally researched all the bootcamps in the OC area as I wanted to stay local. The thing that stuck out with Sabio is their no BS attitude. When you go to the information session, they tell you everything you want to know in regards to the job market, job expectations, hiring rates, their program, etc. They don't hire graduates directly to inflate numbers, and their program has constantly been adapting to the technologies and students that come through the course. The MAIN REASON I decided to go with Sabio is that you will work on a REAL application. Either a startup idea some client has, or like my cohort, an MVP for a client who already has a real business. I guarantee that you will not get the same real world experience, depth of knowledge, or opportunity anywhere else.
Prework was challenging. I actually had the disadvantage of deciding to start with Sabio a couple of weeks after the Prework had already begun. It took a lot of self-studying at home and catching up to pass the assessment but I did it! You need to make sure that you are ready to learn, ask questions, and study on your own. Do the homework, keep up with class, and you should be fine. I was lucky to have Komron AND Brijesh as teachers and they were amazing. Both are very smart and have tons of knowledge to share with you about what we learn at Sabio.
Once we started bootcamp, it was a whole different level of committment. When they say you need to spend 70 hours a week, they are not kidding. Obviously, this number comes down to YOU and YOU only. If YOU do not put in the time and effort, YOU will not come out of the program on the same level of experience and skill as someone who does not. Nothing can subsitute for the time and effort that you need to put into this program to get the most out of it. Be ready to do nothing but code. If YOU do, you will get a job, you will be successful, and you will learn a TON.
I had Aaron sifu as our bootcamp instructor C28! C28! He is the coolest, nicest, and down to earth guy you will ever meet. He is super patient with any question that you have, no matter how stupid. I also really love that he doesn't try to give you the answer, but always will go over with you the process you need to take to debug any issue. That way, you can learn to solve things on your own, and start becoming an independent developer. This, is a HUGE skill in itself as researching and learning on your own are invaluable skills in this industry.
Other things you experience during the cohort are agile/scrum methodologies, which really help to stay organized and communicative. You get to talk with the client every week, and get the real world experience of dealing with changing features, scrapping features, or totalling revamping certain pages to fit the client's needs. You also have the opportunity to work on different API's that exist out there, or work on huge features that the application requires. This is where PUTTING IN THE WORK AND TIME is important. The more work you are able to finish, the more work you can do, which results in more real world experience. You can work on MORE API's, more features, and more experience dealing with issues. This only gives you a step up on your job search.
The Job Assistance is also HUGE. This was actually the most important aspect of a bootcamp that I was looking for. The thing about Sabio that impressed me was that they fully prepare you for the last 2 weeks of the bootcamp to destroy any interview that you enter. Each day was different but you go over at least 200 interview questions, go in depth on harder questions/whiteboarding, interview practice, non-technical interview practice, resume reviews/changes, linkedin prep, learn Git and AWS, and more. I began 2 weeks ago, scared and unconfident, and now I have the confidence to go into any interview and be sure that the experience came out positvely. I started applying at the end of week 10, and had 5 interviews and an offer by the end of week 12. Now I am employed and ready to work. The job market is HUGE. When they say there are a lot of jobs out there, they aren't lying to you. You just have to be ready to show employers out there that you have what it takes and that you are better than every other person they are meeting.
I did not expect to have a job, even before the bootcamp ended. I am a proud, happy Sabio graduate.
TLDR: Great experience and totally worth the price. Do your own research, go to information sessions, and make the final decision yourself. I guarantee that Sabio will not let you down. The bootcamp was an amazing experience and it really requires the 70 hours a week they say. Put in the effort or you won't get the same experience out of it as someone who is. I got a job before the cohort ended, and now am a happy employed Sabio graduate. NATION!
