Skillcrush Reviews
- Skillcrush rocks my socks!- 11/29/2016Christina Rivera • Student • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI look forward to skillcrush everyday! And I anticipate a great career coding for life.
- Adda makes coding fun- 11/28/2016Phoebe • SEO specialist • Graduate • Course: Visual Designer Blueprint • Campus: Online
Before finding Skillcrush, I had been dabbling in numerous websites trying to learn bits and pieces of HTML, CSS and other back end languages.
The problem is that I didn't really know what to do with my knowledge, like how to get it up and running and how to use a text editor. Skillcrush guides you through all of that and sets you up so you learn in a fun and comfortable way.
The benefits of Skillcrush is that you learn the fundamental and basics, but you really learn it as everything is described to you in bite sized digetable chunks.I work a full time 40 hour work week and I still find myself looking forward to coming home and spending an hour or so learning to code.
I say this package is worth it if you just need some motivation or that extra push!
While I don't think Skillcrush teaches you everything you need to know (that's impossible anyway!), I do think their blueprints lay our a really good foundaiton to build on in future so you can understand concepts better during your coding journey.
Bonus: They have really great instructors who answer your questions when needed!
- tired of getting dirty for a living- 11/26/2016Matt • Student • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
So I tried my hand at another front end dev course and got lost and no help from the staff, and a lot of it was TL;DR. Skillcrush was this wake up I needed with Adda on video lecture breaking the lesson down, Barney style for me and then jumping into the practical after the talk. That is how I learn, with a crawl, walk, run approach. If you want to break into a tech job on the cheep, this is how you do it. Its kinda like learning from your big sister. And thats not always a bad thing.
- Loved my blueprint- 11/25/2016Enise Anas • Campus: Online
I started my visual design blueprint this past June and just recently was able to graduate due to life circumstances. But I would highly recommend it due to the following:
1. Great structure, easy to apply and go at your own pace.
2. Coursework is appropriate for beginners and have great group support through Google groups.
3. The resources provided are valuable and definitely helped me achieve a great sense of security about where to go next.
- Visual Design- 11/23/2016Mary Ioannou • Student • Campus: Online
- Web Design Blueprint- 11/23/2016Kristina • knicolebeck@gmail.com • Student • Course: Front End Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
I am currently in the middle of the Web Design Blueprint. I had some basics down for HTML5 & CSS but I was needing more and really unsure of where to even start with all the information on the internet. Skillcrush has provided me with the structure I was seeking and is much more current than the college Web Design class was enrolled in last semester.
I really am enjoying the Skillcrush Blueprint and would absolutely take more Blueprints or single classes in the future from them.
- Front-end Developer Blueprint- 11/23/2016Matt • Graduate • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
I came to Skillcrush with zero knowledge about web development. I find coding to be intimidating, but after one month of taking the Front-end Development Blueprint course, I've taken a big step forward. I feel confident about what I am learning because it's well structured with simple, easy-to-follow steps. Highly recommend Skillcrush!
- Frontend Developer Blueprint- 11/22/2016Mike • Student • Campus: OnlineI am currently enrolled in the November 2016 Frontend Development blueprint and have to say, after close to a month of working in it daily, I'm disappointed enough to cancel. This review will cover why based on my experience - though it of course may be different for everyone.There's a lot of stuff in both HTML and CSS the instructor breezed over. Things are often not explained well and worded poorly - then you're quizzed on it. Entire areas of HTML that anyone who uses the code should know are skipped. In my experience, the community "feature" is almost nonexistent - I don't know anyone in the course and very few people ask questions in the Google Groups. The whole experience is awkward and the office hour I attended was pretty useless.Plus, it's a lot of money to pay $399 for this course; there are tons of free and cheap resources elsewhere that go into the detail I'm looking for. I just bought everything the Front End course offered, plus a lot more programming languages on Udemy for $13. There are even free apps that are just as useful.They said 1-2 hours a day but the reality is it's going to take several more hours to really maximize this course.While I like Skillcrush's broad goal to get more women coding, it's not what I am looking for.
- Fantastic Front End Development Course- 11/18/2016Kim • Art Director • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
I love this class! I'm also enrolled in the Freelance Wordpress Class and that is good too. The courses are broken down into nice little bit sized chunks, and then you're given time to practice. Adda cuts right to what is important. All the course material is supported with wonderful papers on running a business, updating your resume, getting ready for a tech interview. I've looked into many courses, and this is by far, my favorite.
- fast paces learning- 11/18/2016Zoe • Student • Course: Freelance Business Building Blueprint • Campus: Online
i started the wordpress bootcamp with ZERO experience, and am amazed that two weeks in - im already farmiliar with the lingo and the language. the classes are very thorough, and very generous - often i find myself asking a question, only to have it exactly answered in the next slide. highly recommend to anyone who thinks they *might* be interested in web design/coding.
- Web Development- 11/17/2016Dani • Student • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
Love this course! Unlike other free services I've tried, the instructor really improve the course. The only thing I would ask for is a bit more practice of each new item, but the old lessons are always available to return to.
- Web Dev. Front End Blueprint- 11/17/2016Elise B. • Student • Course: Wordpress Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online
I always struggled with the idea that I couldn't possibly code. I've watched my husband do it for years now and his code felt foreign to me. The thing is, it's not all that foreign. It's quite the opposite and Skillcrush does an excellent job showing you just how simple it can be.
Their coursework is simple and easy to follow. You can take it day by day or push forward at your own pace. The flexibility is amazing and makes it possible for ANYONE to do. The community is very supportive and you can get help when needed.
It's well worth the price if you're looking to expand your horizon.
