    Liliana and Gregorio take advantage of students in need

    Liliana and Gregorio took advantage of me in my time of need. I needed time off to attend to an emergency which they granted. Gregorio then had me choose what date I would return. When the time came for me to return though he ignored my emails and slack messages, and Liliana said I was no longer a student and she started ignoring me too! I have the emails as proof still but can't get any of my money back because of how far I had gotten in the program. They robbed this opportunity from me...

    Sabio: The Power of Mistakes

    At Sabio, you will make many mistakes but their curriculum is designed to help you learn from those mistakes. Software Engineering is not easy and learning it in the conventional way is not very helpful. At Sabio, instead of sitting through long lectures aimed at the lowest-common-denominator, you are given a series of videos and tasks to complete with help from instructors when you need it. This style of learning is conducive to real growth because learning is best done when you try on ...

    From unemployed to dream job

    When I got out of the Navy in 2020, COVID shutdowns were at their peak, and I struggled to find work. I jumped around random, low-paying jobs just to pay my bills for the next two years, unable to find a career despite having a bachelor's degree and military experience. In August of 2022, I found out about the VA's VetTec program, which pays for veterans' opportunity to attend a job-seeking school in the tech field. Through the VetTec website, I found Sabio, who is a preferred VetTec pro...

    Sabio

    The Sabio coding boot camp presents an extensive and immersive educational opportunity.

The experiential projects, collaborative ambiance, and individualized mentorship collectively facilitated a rapid acquisition of essential proficiencies, primi...

    A Genuine Sabio Experience

    This is my review of the Sabio 17-week coding bootcamp. Before you read this, I believe you should know what point of view, or perspective this is coming from. So first, a little about myself:
    -I am in my early 20's, and joined the program with little to no background in web development (besides a freecodecamp HTML & CSS crash course video)-I am a prior Navy submariner-I utilized 'Vet Tec', and only the Vet Tec program in order to attend...

    BEWARE this unethical bootcamp

    Like other bad reviews have said. Sabio is a cash grab. What's worse is they vets doing shady stuff to vets. And they have bought moderator in the veterans group on reddit. 

    The scam is to stack up on vets and others in cohorts. Get the percentage of money from the VA before booting them. 

    Red flags for me were:

    - Me and others got reprimanded an 1hr in. By the cofounder. For following the instructors directions.

    - They say you can go in with no knowledge but ...

    Don’t waste your money!!

    This school is purely a money grab. They don’t care if you graduate at all. They would rather get the 7500 upfront then kick you out after a month. On sign some other sucker up. They claim the be vet friendly. But they are not even close. 70 percent of the students are Vets. They say you do not need coding experience. Total lie. They have a free online web development course. They say you don’t need before you sign. Up. I recommend taking it twice before you sign up. But then they switch...

    I recently completed the full stack program with a focus on React and .NET at this bootcamp and overall, I had a positive experience. The program materials including videos and exercises were current and up-to-date, which allowed me to stay current with the latest industry trends.

    Challenging and thorough coding bootcamp

    Sabio is a wonderful program to learn coding and gain the necessary skills to land a job in tech. They are also super veteran friendly and take VETTEC (what I used) and other VA benefits to pay for the school. I took the 17 week program but they have a 13 week option you can test into if you are in a crunch for time. It was a challenging experience and they don't play around with expectations. Be prepared to give 80 plus hours a week to learning and applying what you learn. It sounds lik...

    Sabio

    Sabio has bad business practices. They get a bunch of people to join the program and then kick people out for anything they can. They take advantage of. the tax payer funded vet tec and gi bill. They take advantage of the benefits. They get as many people to sign up in the beginning and get paid by VET TEC. Around 140 people signed up and of those about 40 or less are still there on VET TEC. Initially they got paid 25% for these students. They find any other reason to kick you out and as...
