    Entertaining and Structured Learning With Plenty of Assistance

    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 reg...

    Flexible and great for basics (Web Development Blueprint alum)

    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,...

    Changed the course of my life!

    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 p...

    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!

    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 h...

    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...

    Visual design

    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

    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...
