Not worth it.
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I really wanted to like Skillcrush. The course seemed like it would teach a lot of things for the money, and I liked their spirit of female empowerment. Unfortunately it was mostly just a lot of hype, and hardly taught enough to make it worthwhile. Here is a breakdown of what they advertise, versus what you actually get:
“Practical Training That Fits Your Schedule”: The classes can be completed at your own pace. It can certainly be done in less than an hour each day, as advertised. A daily email is sent out with directions on which lessons to complete, articles to read, and any class announcements. Each lesson is comprised of a few minutes worth of video lectures, followed by a coding exercise. Rather than showing how to code, as most coding tutorials do, the videos are of Adda speaking at her desk, with a few screenshots spliced in. It was not very helpful, and I didn't like her unprofessional manner (saying things like “Amazeballs!” or making cheesy jokes). I had to do a lot of searching the web for answers before I was able to complete most of the coding exercises. I'm also not sure what the point of submitting the coding exercise was, because there was no feedback on any of them.
“A Community of Impressive Fellow Students”: There were approximately 150 people in my class, and Skillcrush uses a platform called Mightybell to connect everyone. Students can post in their “circle” and others can comment on their post. New comments would drive a post to the top of the feed, as were “trending posts” that had a lot of comments. This made it really hard to find posts pertaining to a specific topic. It didn't matter much though, because only a handful of students were active on Mightybell. There is also a group chat area on Mightybell, but it was usually dead for days at a time.
“Expert Support and Mentorship From Super-Friendly Instructors”: Only one teaching assistant was active on Mightybell, and she didn't always answer students' questions. I never saw any of the instructors post or comment there. Throughout the 3 month course, there were only 8 live office hour sessions. They were almost always on a Saturday or Sunday at 2pm EST, and I never got to attend any of them because that time doesn't work for me. Submitting homework assignments was meaningless, because there was never any feedback on it. Overall, the level of support and mentorship was a huge disappointment.
“Tons of Downloads, Code Samples, and Cheat Sheets”: They did give us samples of code, although they were quite basic and nothing you couldn't find for free on the web. The cheat sheets were full of Skillcrush graphics and used large fonts, so there wasn't much material on each page. To me that defeats the purpose of a cheat sheet; you should be able to glance at a page and find what you're looking for, not thumb through 7-8 pages to find it.
“Master Classes with Top Industry Experts”: There were 3 master classes during the 3 month period. They were each an hour long and gave a brief overview of one topic.
“Personal Letter of Recommendation”: I did receive a letter of recommendation with my name on it, touting what a “great” web developer I've become. Given the lack of feedback throughout the course, this letter is obviously meaningless, and probably serves more to promote their graduates, and thus their company, more than anything.
“A Professional-Looking Portfolio”: I was able to design a few basic sites that looked and functioned like they were made in the 90's. I was hoping to come out of this with something to be proud of, but it's not even close.
“Certificate of Completion”: I did receive a certificate indicating I completed the program.
Throughout the course, I was constantly frustrated by the lack of information in each lesson, and was frequently searching the web for answers just to complete the homework. In all that searching, I found that everything taught at Skillcrush, plus much much more, is available for free. I realize they can only cram so much material into one class, but I can't believe how many important topics they didn't teach. With a poor curriculum and lack of support, I can solidly say it's not worth paying for. Ironically, the best parts of Skillcrush are free. Their blog and free webinars are packed full of great career advice, with the exception of recommending their Blueprints to learn to code.

Web Design at Skillcrush
I enrolled in Skillcrush's Web Design blueprint and it's been a great experience. I think Skillcrush is great for those who have absolutely no programming experience because the lessons broken down in a way that newbies could understand. The staff are great with answering questions and they will help you if you can't afford Skillcrush.

New Ruby on Rails Blueprint
Read more Read less of Lynn's review
I previously took the Web Development blueprint (see my review below), and I came back to Skillcrush for the Ruby on Rails blueprint. I liked working with Ruby but really wasn't comfortable with it from the short course as part of my first blueprint. So, I wanted to explore it more in depth. This is a new blueprint that Skillcrush is doing, so they are still accepting feedback and ironing out some kinks in the curriculum. For instance, we are in the first month of three months total, and this first month-long class was easy to understand up until the final couple of days. We had to push our app to Sinatra, and there was very little guidance on that. Fortunately, the TA is available to assist and will help to debug your code and sort things out. However, I thought it was faster to ask developers on Twitter for assistance and fork my GitHub repository for quicker problem solving.
FYI: Skillcrush does not offer job assistance, so I gave that a "1" rating.

Waste of time
Read more Read less of Zubin's review
I took the Skillcrush Web Developer course. It has 3 units: HTML/CSS, Javascript & JQuery, and Ruby. Before I started the HTML unit, I read HTML and CSS: Design and Build Websites by Jon Duckett. I started the unit and I breezed through it weeks ahead of schedule.
I then started the Javascript unit and I was so confused. I tried getting assistance from fellow student, the instructor, and rereading the course material. Nothing helped. Then I started reading JavaScript and JQuery: Interactive Front-End Web Development by the same author. I was amazed at how much more I understood about Javascript from 1 chapter than I ever did from 1 week of Skillcrush lessons.In retrospect, had I not read the HTML book, I'd have been equally confused on the HTML unit. Skillcrush's 2 minute videos and infographics just don't work. They really just present a superficial understanding of the material. Reading the books, I've gotten such a deep understanding of the material. I'd never reccomend Skillcrush to anyone, especially people new to coding. Also, I'm always suspicious of a company who doesn't post a phone number or address.
I will say is that their cheat sheets and job application schedules aren't bad. The instructors are also helpful. -

Entertaining and Structured Learning With Plenty of Assistance
Read more Read less of Andrea Martens's review
At the start, I was skeptical about Skillcrush—the cost was making me sway, but the end result has left me with no regrets.
I love the energy and outstanding know-how that Skillcrush has. Their presentation of material is thoughtful, thorough and easy to follow. Their after hours one-on-one instructor-student help is unique, as well as course cheat-sheets, inside knowledge and additional videos are all incredibly helpful. I especially liked how they regularly encourage you and never leave you feeling like your treading water alone during your course (or after completion).
One stipulation, I live in Canada so their job postings are not so accessible for me. BUT, as a Skillcrush Alumni they are still super supportive and revel in my successes as well. This happens in the form of a retweet or blasting out my interview that I did with them (Sept 2014), which has got me some traction (thank you, Skillcrush!).
I still get their eblasts and take pleasure in reading them. Their tone of writing is enlighenting and entertaining—not stuffy whatsoever.
I highly recommend Skillcrush to everyone (even the fellas)! -

Flexible and great for basics (Web Development Blueprint alum)
Read more Read less of Lynn's review
I thought Skillcrush was the best choice for me when I realized that I needed more "formal" learning for front end development. I previously had owned my own web design business for a year and knew basic HTML and CSS, but I was self taught and had huge knowledge gaps of the basics. I took the Web Developer Blueprint and loved the price- it's way cheaper than a lot of the other bootcamps out there online. I got a good foundation in the basics of HTML and CSS, JavaScript and JQuery, and Ruby on Sinatra. I felt that the class rushed a bit for JavaScript and Ruby, so I'm less comfortable with those and am studying them independently now with a couple of books. The best way to enforce learning is to definitely do all of the projects you are assigned, and to try out side projects on your own. The course is flexible, so if you fall behind, it's okay, no worries. It's a good value overall. FYI: Skillcrush does not offer job placement or resume help.
I am taking the new Ruby on Rails blueprint with Skillcrush next week and will report back with those results.

Great experience!
I enjoy the courses so far. I love how it’s a mixture of videos, readings, quizzes, and hands on practice. I feel it helps me retain the information better.
I also love how they have mentors and a slack community to connect with and have resources to help you with getting ready for landing a job in tech. -

Changed the course of my life!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I am late with leaving this review. My life has been quite crazy since I was a student with Skillcrush. I never fail to bring them up in conversation since finding them. This online coding school has changed the course of my life. I found Skillcrush at the height of the pandemic. I was deep in the Healthcare field looking for a way out because I was so burnt out and could not continue. So much so, that I left for a cashier job at a local liquor store until I could land a job in tech. I planned to do an online boot camp until I could get my foot in the tech door.. Wow. So many bootcamps are extremely expensive or you have to pay them back once you find a job which didn't feel comfortable for me. Skillcrush is a godsend. The teachers, the community, the ease of the lessons and the pace. Thank you so much for everything Adda Birnir and team. You changed my life and my son's life (and my cat). Now I am making enough money to take care of both of us and I am not mentally burnt out!! -

Clear, concise and compelling
I’m only a few days (but one entire course) into Skillcrush’s Break Into Tech program, but I’m very much impressed. The lessons are clear and everything in the videos is reinforced in readings and through the quizzes and projects. I’ve taken free HTML and CSS courses before but this one compels me to keep going. -

Skillcrush is top notch!
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I've been a Skillcrush student for years but haven't completed any courses because of personal life situations. We'll now I am unemployed and I have time to go through my career track in UI/UX Design. The information is extremely simple yet the course is kept at a good rigor. The instructor is very encouraging and my coach is giving amazing, detailed feedback on my assignment submissions within 24 hours. Even though this is a self- place course, I feel like a true student who still has to put in 1000% level of quality work in order to be considered a knowledgeable and highly skilled UI/UX Designer. I finished the Intro to Web Design Elements in less than 3 days (although Skillcrush recommends 3-4 weeks average) and was empowered to update my LinkedIn because I'm now confident that I can put together a well thought out, professional design comp for any business, organization, and/or client. I will definitely continue all the way through to the end of the UI/UX Designer course, and I highly recommend Skillcrush to anyone who is interested in becoming a UI/UX Designer or someone who wants to break into tech overall because they have a lot of other great tech courses as well that's also self-paced. So far, it's been a great experience and I know having these technical skills now will literally pay off in the near future! -

Terrible!

An embellished course name, but the content is empty. To make the course fun by making all kinds of jokes and montage music in the background. Combining the facial expressions of the woman with the constant effort of trying to look cute in different ways got on my nerves. the background music doesn't even give you a chance to focus. motivational music anyway, playing the guitar. waste of money and time! They didn't give me my $68! Dont stop by here, go coursera. You can find masters of This job! -

Wow. Terrible. You can Google the same content and receive better education on YouTube. Courses are short and do not explain enough to even think about applying to jobs. Also, you might wait over a month like me to even receive a certificate after you complete the course. Do yourself a favor and run from these people. -

Exactly What I Was Looking For
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I have been extremely impressed with Skillcrush. I have learned so much in the approximately 3 weeks I have been a study in the Break Into Tech Bluprint. The program is very reasonably priced for all of the teaching, resources, and instructor support you get. The mentor sessions are what really drew me to this program. I had been learning to code online for a little while but really wanted some face-to-face (virtually of course) contact with a mentor to help guide me in the right direction in the tech world to switch careers. Overall A+ program.

Love Everything about Skillcrush!

I was a bit hesitant at first and took a few weeks to take the leap, mostly due to my own fears. I am still working my way through the Front End Dev program, but am loving it! The instructors are involved, encouraging, and know their stuff! They make it easy to access help whether it's through the online chat, email, or Slack channels. The program itself provides a ton of useful resources in addition to the course videos and projects themselves. Worth every penny!

Break Into Tech Blueprint: 1st 3rd of course
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
This course is a nice pace both for people new to coding as well as those with very limited experience. It gives ample explanation of concepts, and even gives multiple explanations for harder concepts. I especially liked that there were transcripts available for all the videos. I felt like it was a safe place to ask even the most basic questions, and everyone was very helpful & welcoming. I do have to say that the fact that it is mostly women here is making learning much more comfortable and confidence building, and it is SO NICE not to be talked down to!
I'm excited about this new opportunity to have a job I enjoy AND can make a living doing. It's a relief to know that career change IS possible with some work & perseverance, and I'm very happy to have stumbled upon Skillcrush at this point in my life.

Okay. I only write reviews if my experience was awfully good or awfully bad. Ive been enrolled with skillcrush for over a month now and i have learnt a lot!!! Previously i had spent months over months on othet online platforms like udacity, udemy, coursera, lynda (you name it) to learn web design, development and git but some of the concepts were extremely confusing to grasp and i ended up giving up because it got so frustrating without clear tutorials and not much help from the instructors. Online learning can be very challenging! Then aftet a year i decided to join skillcrush and i have to admit its worth every penny!!! they make learning a breeze. The tutorials are amaaaazingly simple and at the same time very informative. If you get stuck you can turn to their google hangout or an instructor on live chat. The responses are fairly quick. And the instructors dont rest until they have resolved the issue for you. They make learning so much easier and fun!i look forward to learning stuff every day (who thought learning was so fun, right?!). The curriculum is great. You learn super hard concepts without even realizing how hard it was. -

I have been in retail way too long, and finally decided to take the leap and change careers completely. I have 2 little girls, and do not have the luxury or income to attend boot camps or get another college degree. Skillcrush was the best decision I made! It made it fun, interesting and applicable. I tried other online courses, which were helpful, but Skillcrush guides you so you don't feel lost or overwhelmed. And it sets you up perfectly for an actual job when you're done. Loved it!!!!

Amazing Course IF...
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
The Front End Developer course is the first I've taken with Skillcrush, but it definitely won't be the last. I have never taken an online course, and felt incredibly hesitant to learn tech this way (what if I have a million unanswerable questions!!! what if I get behind on my classes!!!), but this Skillcrush course is designed in such a way that learning (and getting help!) was a breeze, even for a total beginner like me. I even took a week off of classes for vacation, but it was a cinch to work at my own pace and stay up with the material.
The Skillcrush folks do a great job of creating an online community vibe, so I never once felt isolated or alone in the process. BUT, I will say that these courses are much easier IF you read all of the instructions, complete orientation, go through all of the basic beginning steps before class starts, and really set yourself up for success.
When you're learning on your own, it's SO tempting to skip steps, jump to the cheat code right away, or just do other things besides class. I believe these courses are best suited for folks who know themselves well, are self-motivated, can hunker down and stay on-task (even when they have a ton of questions and feel uncertain about their work), and can exercise patience when waiting for questions to be answered via email.
Personally, I LOVE working on my own, don't have trouble staying focused, and was able to resist the urge to cheat through the course - the answer code provided at the end of every learning module helped me immensely when checking my work.
I HIGHLY recommend Skillcrush courses. I will most likely take the Wordpress course next - this stuff is FUN to learn.

High-Quality Experience

I am a current student doing the All-Access Career Blueprint. This is a very valuable course as it allows the student to learn about more than just one area. You can do the design courses and the Wordpress courses and the Ruby courses if you want to. It is great for people who want to develop more than one skill set. The courses are well-paced and they make it easy to learn the new skills. The other great piece is that you get a career counselor who will work with you one-on-one to help you develop a personal plan for entering the workforce. That to me makes it all worthwhile.

So, I'm only just a month into this blueprint and I like the way this is working for me. The fact that I can work at my own pace is great. I am sometimes concerned that I don't have all the in-depth knowlege I might want to have, but I also know that I have time to catch up. I also love that Skillcrush points me in the direction of articles, other Developers and their websites, and other relevant resources to help you learn more on your own.
And I have to say, going to a networking event and even mentioning that you are learning tech skills--suddenly people want to talk to you.

Skillcrush - an online course with a difference

I'm a designer with a lot of experience and am fascinated by the potential of digital products so I decided to learn to code! I have to say it's been such a great experience and Skillcrush has been amazing - I value them not just for helping me dive in to such an overwhelmingly huge field (they make it as painless and accessible as possible) but I also really value the positive input they have in my life - I love their positive vibes and empowering, pro-active way of going about things! I went for my first interview for a digital role yesterday and thanks to just a few short months of Skillcrush, I knew all the right answers to their questions!

As a designer, we were taught a lot about photoshop, design principals, and html/css in school, which was helpful, but not the whole story for someone who wanted to be a designer and devloper.

I am glad I signed up for the front-end developer blueprint. Prior to signing up for this, I was taking free courses. However, I was missing structure. I like being able to advice from professionals. You receive great resources and encouragement. The courses are taking things I seen in free courses and making it clear. I feel more confident to build my own website. I encourage others to join. I also like how they teach you with a variety video, reading, discussions. This method keeps you engaged.

Skillcrush takes time to explain the details
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
Skillcrush Blueprints fill in the blanks I'm left while completing other online bootcamps and courses. Adda clearly spells out each concept with amazing detail and I don't feel pushed to move on to the next concept even though I'm not ready.
The value for Skillcrush's services is amazing. I cannot believe all that I get for the price that I pay. TAs and instructors respond in a quick fashion in our Google Groups, and students interact with each other.
I couldn't be happier with my investment.

I can't speak for job assistence as I havn't made it that far through the course yet. As far as everything else about the course, I love it! Every lesson is broken down in a way that you gain so much knowledge without it seeming to overwhelming and daunting.
I do wish that there was a feedback 101 google group, as sometimes its hard to tell if I've gotten my code correct, but appart from that, I really am enjoying learning through Skillcrush.
everything was as advertised and if you're someone like me that needs that structured space for learning, but can't do deadlines, this is definitely a great place to start! I work full time and sometimes have to make everything up on the weekend, so its nice to not have hard deadlines.

Flexible and Thorough
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I have been incredibly happy with my Skillcrush experience. Prior to joining the Skillcrush Front End Developer Course, I had been desperately trying to find a way to learn to code and work full time. I had tried teaching myself some information, but the amount of information that I was unfamiliar with was daunting. I looked into a few ful-time boot camps but didn't have the time or the funds to attend. I wasn't sure I would ever be able to make a change in my career, until I found Skillcrush.
After searching around the Skillcrush website, I decided to give their free "10-day Boot-Camp" a try. The course was informative, easy to follow, and geared towards women- it was perfect! I decided to sign up for one of the (very affordable) blueprint courses, and I couldn't be happier.
I'm still able to work full time and fit Skillcrush classes in when I can. Information continues to be presented in manner that is easy to follow. I appreciate that lessons begin with a video, followed by some reading and a quiz. I have found the instructors and the students to be very helpful and supportive via the online forum and via email. I haven't finished my first blueprint yet, but I already have pages of additional learning resources (which I love).
I don't really have any recommendations for Skillcrush, their blueprints are perfect for those looking to learn a new skill or change careers and offer a light for women in a predominantely male field.

Web Design and Wordpress Blueprint
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I took the Web Design blueprint last year ('15) and am currently in the Wordpress Developer blueprint. Both blueprints provided a great foundation in the languages that they are teaching. However, despite the breadth of information there is not as much depth as I would have liked. However, they provide many external resources to refer to, as you continue learning tech skills. Moving from Mightybell to Google groups is definitely an improvement. These groups allow you to discuss work with other classmates and with TAs and instructors, which allows for more personalized help than some online classes allow. The Master classes are great additions to help make the connection from what you are learning into the real world with people who are in the industry. Office hours are run through Google groups, which provides a lot of personalized help and to meet others face to face. The best part of taking Skillcrush classes is being a part of the community and all of their content. Signing up for their newsletter alone provides so many great articles on a weekly basis on all things tech. However, by taking classes you are invited to exclusive online webinars and summits and they provide you with great cheatsheets. These are lifesavers as they basically summarize what you are learning in bite-size chunks that you can use throughout your tech career. Finally, as alumni you are invited to join their Slack alumni channels, which keeps you engaged and accountable and a part of an amazing tech community.

Fun, well-supported first steps in coding
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I am not technically able, and I'm probably much older than the typical learner. (My teenagers shake their heads, muttering "elders and technology".) In the past, I have tried to learn HTML and CSS through books and through free and inexpensive online classes and videos. Always, I got stuck after the first few lessons and abandoned the effort because of lack of support. With Skillcrush, the pace of the learning and variety of ways to learn is actually helping to push me ahead. The instructional videos are short, sweet clips you can watch when you have a moment. The hands-on practice sessions are challenging and fun. When I have a question, I can participate in an online group where students and instructors can pitch in, or I can email an instructor directly. Each day I receive an email from the instructor and a list of tasks. As I complete a task, the screen visually records my progress. Further, Skillcrush provides a lot of bonuses like online resources, coaching for job search, and general rah-rah enthusiasm and encouragement that makes you feel that you can do this! If you want to start walking and talking like a real, live coder, this is the place to start.

I'm currently enrolled in the Web Development Blueprint, and can't say enough good things about this curriculum. The syllabus provides detailed info on what is expected daily for the coursework, and even with a full time job, I am able to complete my daily assignments. Skillcrush provide shelpful handouts to review as well as resources to research on your own time. Teachers are available for questions throughtout the program, and always accessible. I had prior knowledge of HTML & CSS coding, which has been helpful for me in this class; however I feel you could excel with this class with no prior knowledge. I have already applied what I have learned to projects in my current job, and feel much more confident in my coding abiities. Skillcrush reps have sent us mulitple ways to get jobs in the industry as well.

Skillcrush Review
I had been debating for about a year to sign up for a Skillcrush class, when I finally had, I regretted waiting so long. I thought while I was sitll in school I wouldn't have the time, but the class is so flexible it's not even an issue now that I'm working full time. Skillcrush instructors are FRIENDLY and helpful, and try to create the most supportive, judgement-free environment possible.

Visual Design Blueprint

As someone with a creative background, but no experience designing for the web, this course was amazing. In 3 months, I learned an incredible amount just taking the hour long classes every day (or when I could get to them, they don't expire). The teachers are friendly, knowledgable, and provide really constructive feedback. You also get valuable feedback and inspiration from other students via the Hang Out sessions and in the Google Groups sessions. I feel confident in applying my new skills in a new career, and speaking of new career, not only did the Skillcrush team teach me how to design for web (and a bit of print as well, which I already had background in, but is good if you don't), they provide you with resources on how to write cover letters, resumes and - drumroll please - where to find an actual job with links to actual job posting sites for Tech jobs. My only complaint is that the Google Hang Out sessions fill up incredibly fast and it was hard to snag a time that worked for me. I'm only removing one star on Overall Experience for that reason.

I had been on the fence about starting a blueprint for quite some time and finally took the plunge. I could not be happier ad doing so. I am only on my third week but I feel that I will definitely get to where I need to be by the time I am done. I hope to continue taking other Blueprints like the Wordpress and Design ones and get a very clear understanding to better my current situation. I highly recommend the courese as it will guide you from absolute zero to actually understanding.

Front End Web Development
Read more Read less of Anonymous's review
I am currently taking Skillcrush's Front End Web Development Blueprint as a refresher course for a Front End class I took back in January at a popular brick and mortar coding bootcamp.
I have to say, the way the information is presented by Skillcrush blows this other bootcamp out of the water. So much more organized and streamlined.Part of the reason I am taking the Blueprint is because I didn't feel confident enough after I left the bootcamp in my ability to start working as a freelancer. I felt that there were a lot of holes in my knowledge--for example, the bootcamp never discussed frameworks like Bootstrap. Not even a mention! Yet it took half a class to explain floats when skillcrush has managed to cover it in one short module. I realize coming into the Blueprint with previous knowledge has helped me pick it up easier, but I'm still impressed with Skillcrush's simple and playful learning program.
Kudos, Skillcrush!
