- Changing Careers- 9/10/2018Carla Mendes • Financial Controller • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedIn
I've been taking the "Break Into Tech Blueprint" for almost two months. So far I've been thrilled.
Skillcrush helps out totally newbies and people like me, lets them know that it's ok to not be ok in our current jobs, and it IS possible to change this.
I have loved every single video, every single "check" on my list and I am looking forward to see what's coming next. I feel like everyday I'm learning more and more things and the progress has been undeniable, not only seen by me but also people I talk to about it, some of them professionals already in the area.
I ahve no idea where this "Break into Tech" is going to lead me, but I'm really glad I took the ride!
- Skillcrush Review 2 weeks in!- 1/22/2017
So far I am really enjoying the skillcrush program! I am doing to the Wordpress Bootcamp which entails the Front-end Developer, Web Design and Wordpress Developer blueprints. The lessons have been fun to learn and just enough information is given to teach you the materials but not overwhelm and freak you out. I am only two weeks in on the Front-end Developer blueprint which is all the basics of building a website. There are many resources for you to use as you go through each lesson including your class group, which is really helpful! My only suggestion as of now that would make it better is for during the practice in each lesson. It doesn't tell you if your code is right or wrong and it is a little difficult to know if your doing it the right or most concise way. All in all, I am enjoying my time so far and cannot wait for more!
- Web Designer & WordPress Developer- 1/15/2017Andreas Markou • Software support consultant • Student • Course: Front End Developer Blueprint • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedIn
The best learning experience I have come across. Skillcrush is welcoming from the very first contact and does everything possible to make the learning experience fit the individual. There is no-pressure with the 'try it and see' experience via the Introductory Bootcamps to help you decide if it is for you. There is ongoing flexibility for choosing, changing or adding learning modules. There is always a quick human response to requests for help with any issue or question.
The module content is authoritative and well organised, just the right amount & depth for initial understanding and practice of concepts, with plenty of links to etxra resources when you want more. They style of audio visual and written material is upbeat, positive and engaging. At the end of each week it's impressive to see how much has actually been covered.
All perspectives of professional web work are covered: - design .v. development, creative .v. technical, choosing the necessary software tools, establishing your credentials via portfolio and resume preparation. Course delivery is by a great team of people with real world experience and knowledge. An extended network of Skillcrush associates provide additional free 'Master Classes' on a wide range of professional workplace topics.
- 30s-Career changer- 1/21/2021Rachael • career changer (healthcare>tech) • Student • Campus: OnlineI enrolled in the Break Into Tech package on Cyber Monday which included courses from the entire site. As a career changer from healthcare and soon to be tech, I cannot speak highly enough of the cost of value to skills learned/services provided. Thus far I have completed the Web Design course, UX Research course, and am working on the UX Information Architecture course with a goal of becoming a user experience researcher in a few months. The skills are introduced in bite-sized amounts, the instructors provide thorough and timely feedback, the career transition and support services that I have used so far appear to be robust. I feel supported and coached throughout this journey.
- Break Into Tech- 1/12/2021Keegan Dayle • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI've just finished the first course within the Break Into Tech, Front End Developer fast track and already I've learned so much. Great, easy to digest modules that allow you to learn both visually and kinetically via videos, text, and trial challenges. So excited to continue the course and see all the doors this course opens for me.
- HTML / CSS course- 1/12/2021Sean Brown • Graphic Artist / Manager • Student • Course: Front End Developer + ReactJS Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI loved this course. A lot of useful information was presented. I loved learning how to take the information in a photoshop document, and apply it to an html website from scratch! I also learned a lot of great functions to use in my code and I had a guiding hand the whole way. I loved being able to email the instructors and get feedback in less than 24 hrs. And they wouldn't just give me the answer, they would explain what area I should look closer in my code, and had me fix my own mistakes. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to get a start toward front end development.
- Break Into Tech - Full Stack Track- 1/11/2021Denise • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI'm a few weeks into my Skillcrush experience and I'm LOVING it so far. I've come so much farther in the last few weeks than I would have thought possible and I give the Skillcrush structure, curriculum, and the projects we are working on a lot of the credit for that. I love problem-solving, which is probably why I've fallen head over heels for coding, and the curriculum gives you a lot of information as well as a lot of practical exercises that allow you to really think through and apply what you've learned.
I haven't been to a live boot camp but I can say that as a (MUCH) lower-cost alternative, so I'm very pleased. I've taken advantage of my first career counseling and have a once-monthly meeting set in my calendar to ensure that I'm using all of the resources available to me to reach my end goal of getting my dream tech job.
The Teachers Assistants seem to be knowledgeable, super friendly, and helpful, and they, as well as the Skillcrusher community on Slack, are awesome! I don't have to feel like I'm in a silo doing this alone.
I have found that I enjoy supplementing Skillcrush classes with other courses that I'd previously purchased on Udemy but it's not required. I just like different teaching styles and am looking to be extremely well rounded (and therefore highly marketable) as a developer. So far, I'm feeling GREAT about my choice.
- Great Community- 1/11/2021Susan • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI am working my way through the break into tech blueprint. I like the structure of the courses so far. They are broken down into bitesized chunks so I feel like I can learn the material without getting overwhelmed. I don't have a background in tech so I need a solid foundation and I think this provides that. I would say this is great for beginners and career changers (me), which seems to be their target.
My favorite aspect so far has been the community and access to instructors. I have emailed many times for help when I get stuck on project and I have always gotten timely and helpful responses. The slack community has also been an amazing resource for technical help, suggestions, moral support etc.
I haven't used too much of the job assistance aspect yet, but they have two entire sections devoted to that (one for freelancers and one for people looking for jobs at companies) as well as career counseling sessions both individual and group.
It's also great if you aren't sure about your career path and want to try it out rather than some of the pricier bootcamps that require you to go at a rigid set pace. I researched and talked to a lot of bootcamps and schools before deciding what was the right fit for me. Overall I would say Skillcrush takes something that can seem intimidating and make it fun and easy to learn at whatever pace you want to go at.
- Break into Tech course- 1/10/2021Lorraine Wyndham • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI already have good knowledge of HTML5 and CSS, but I was lacking some career direction and help with regards to building a portfolio. I stumbled across Skillcrush, and was impressed with all of the additional assistance they provide students. For that reason, I signed up for the Break into Tech course, and they have not disappointed. The career counselling and additional help they provide is extremely helpful and very valuable to me. The courses are also very good, and they explain everything simply and in great detail.
- Best choice I've ever made- 1/9/2021Rachel Parker • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineAmazing classes and they are there for you every step of the way.
- Tech Buffet- 1/9/2021L C • Student • Course: Break Into Tech Blueprint • Campus: OnlineI went into Skillcrush Break Into Tech course thinking I would be a web developer, but now that I've made it through a few courses, and took a peek inside others, I really believe that I'll be a digital marketer who can also build websites. I love that their courses allow you to truly learn and discover what you are most interested in and where your skills can really blossom.
The courses are thorough and empowering and I love that help is just a message away. Everyone I talk to on the platform is enthusiastic and helpful, and I just can't help but feel like learning tech (even for a complete newbie) is actually fun!
Yes, you can learn tech for a lot cheaper elsewhere. you can even piece together YouTube videos and blogs to find the info for free, but there is absolutely no substitution in my book for the helpful and knowledgeable staff and their accessible approach to learning some otherwise seemingly hairy scary topics.
- Student- 1/9/2021Naima Fleming • Student • Course: User Experience Design Blueprint • Campus: OnlineThe UX Design Blueprint course has been an invaluable experience. Each module is explained clearly, and the instructors are available to provide assistance whether I have a question, or if a critique is needed. Although I have not completed the course as of yet, I’m confident that I will be able to utilize my new skills for my own projects, as well as for career growth.
