    Awesome learning experience

    I was a student in SD42 cohort. As someone with zero prior experience or background in coding or full-stack programming, this program has brought me a lot of knowledge and practical experience.  The instructors have real experiences in software induysttry and  provide a vast range of experiences and teach styles. The learning process is steep and fast however the material is set up in a way that continuous advancement into more complicated coding is seamless.  I would totally recommend t...

    Super positive and rewarding Java Boot camp experience

    I am delighted to announce my successful completion of the software coding bootcamp at Skill Distillery, where I immersed myself in 75% Java and 25% Angular. Entering the program with the goal of becoming a proficient Java developer, I can proudly say that, four months later, I have achieved that objective. Not only can I now program fundamental Java to construct console-based applications, but I have also gained the skills to develop more sophisticated server-side applications that inte...

    A Great Decision

    The Java Full-Stack course that Skill Distillery offers is absolutely fantastic. I learned so much in a short 16 weeks and came out of the course feeling well prepared for the next stage of my life. The staff is great, very helpful, understanding, and supportive. Going through this program was easily one of the best career decisions I've ever made.

    My 4 month developer journey !

    I went from zero to hero in a matter of 4 months attending this bootcamp. The instructional staff is absolutely amazing; they are patient and knowledgeable. Your learning preference does not matter. The overall pace of the course was perfect for beginners and intermediate programmers. I was a bit hesitant to attend an online class because I am more of a 'learn in person' type of student, but all of that went out the window after this course. The classes are very engaging and entertaining...

    From Course Report to Review

    When I was looking around for Bootcamps to attend, I did a lot of research. I looked for anywhere that had good reviews and a great team with successful outcomes. I ended up finding a lot of mixed reviews but most of them that came from SD were impactful. I charged straight ahead and went, and it's the best thing I've done so far. I started as a non-programmer who had never touched the CLI, to developing Full-Stack websites.
    The instructors were great, and all of them wanted nothing b...

    What an amazing experience

    Skill Distillery is an amazing experience with compassionate dedicated instructors who will get you to the finish line when you trust in yourself and the process. While at times it feels like drinking from a fire hose trying to learn 4 years of schooling in 4 months should be impossible but SD seems to have it down to a science and while you may not be an expert when you graduate you will most definitely have what you need to compete for those entry level jobs and even have experience an...
