Skillcrush

Skillcrush is a well thought out program for learning to code.  It is very accessible for those new to coding and the classes are fun and keep you motivated.  The way it is structured makes learning to code not as overwhelming as it could be.  Each part of the process is explained well and students are given relevant exercises to practice any new skills.  Projects towards the end of each course bring all the learning together and provide a sense of accomplishment.   There is a lot of support within the lessons but also from tutors and the Skillcrush student community.  The online learning environment also makes very flexible.  I would highly recommend this course for those looking to study coding.

Skillcrush has given me a new path in life and I feel 18 again! After raising my children, I was lost and they have given me  a new career path and I look forward to each lesson. The lessons are simple enough for a newcomer like me to understand, the quizzes are fun and challenging without being too difficult. They have the best teaching method for an online program that I’ve ever used.  Read less

My experience with SkillCrush since the beginning has been incredible! Their courses are cut into segments that have helped me learn and stick with the information taught. They are incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive! I truly believe that becoming a student for SkillCrush has been one of the best choices I’ve done! Read less

Skillcrush has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, I felt like I was in good hands. It was pretty scary hoping into learning a new skill and Skillcrush has helped me to grasp on to new skills pretty easily AND all of the course materials have been extremely helpful. I can honestly say that I’m learning new skills and retaining the information. I would definitely recommend Skillcrush in the future! Read less

This course is wonderful! Skillcrush is excellent at making potential students feel welcome. The course is easy to navigate, highly informative, fun, and there are plenty of hands on exercises. The community is also fantastic and diverse. Instructors are easily accessible, knowledgeable, and are always willing to help. I highly recommend this course to any and all that are looking to break into tech! Read less

So far I have been learning a lot when it comes to HTML and CSS. There is a lot to learn and it takes patience as there’s a lot to learn but Skillcrush makes things quite wonderful in terms of teaching you how to build a website. So far I have learned a lot as I’ve done two project websites as of this day in writing this review. Read less

Skillcrush is a very user/student friendly course school. They take their time in teaching and have lots of practical challenges to go with every lesson. There is also a good student = teacher relation, where you can ask any question concerning a lesson and you are rest assured that you will get a quick response. 
I like the teaching method a lot because it make  the student really gets involved, and it breeds confidence in the student. 
I will recommend it anyway anywhere! Read less

Learning new skills can be challenging, especially skills in an area you know nothing about. The team over at Skillcrush puts students' minds at ease and encourages them to take the first step! Transitioning into tech, for some folks can be an intimidating endeavor. However, at Skillcrush, I've been able to progress through the course work in a strategic and self-paced manner. This was made possible through the support and encouragement that I receive from the Skillcrush staff and community!  Read less

The classes are challenging in more ways than one, as it is not just the new language you learn, but it is also about time management, vision and creativity. When I feel lost in technical terms, Adda's jokes gives learning a funny spin that relaxes you and helps taking the pressure off. The resources are abundant, lots of other websites with further explanations and practice as well as the Slack community that is very supportive. There are one-on-one sessions with a mentor after every class completed and regular webinars about switching careers, getting into tech and tips to apply while job hunting. I opted for the Get Hire track, because, honestly, if I am left to my own devices, I would probably quit job searching from the first rejection I might get. It is reassuring to know that someone has your back throughout that ordeal. 
This course has taken me out of my comfort zone, but I don't regret it especially when I see the results of my work on the screen. After years of putting myself down, I am actually starting to feel proud of myself.  Read less

I am truly enjoying my time as a student in the front end development Skillcrush course. The mentors are so encouraging, I love the webinars, and the opportunities to engage with the community are wonderful. I can hardly believe what I’m able to do in just a few months time and look forward to growing more in both confidence and ability! Read less

I am part way through my Front-end Web Development training and find it, while thorough and challenging, has safety nets to guide you through so you do not get stuck unable to progress. I recommend this program for anyone serious about beginning a career in tech with no previous experience. Read less

Skillcrush absolutely helped me gain the foundational skills of front-end web technologies at a very introductory level. Often times, these technologies can come across as confusing and/or intimidating. Skillcrush has managed to keep the material simple to understand as far as learning the basic core concepts of front-end web. The lessons & projects are not only a great help, but also made to feel very lively and fun instead of dull and dry! The calls in between lessons to meet and catch up with a mentor is one of the best things about the course in my opinion. Self-paced learning can seem a bit lonely sometimes, but between these calls and the community of students on Slack, that was not the case here!

I also was unaware that the course offered a whole section based on building up your resume, LinkedIn profile, and how to go about the job search. These were all VERY helpful and effective! I definitely learned new skills not only within the tech space, but how to go about starting a job search! I believe that without the 'Get Hired' lessons, it would have been much more difficult and taken me longer to land a job.

The only thing I will add is that while Skillcrush is an amazing bootcamp, it is also important to go out and build your own projects and watch any additional videos/read articles on concepts you may be having more trouble with. Instead of watching a tutorial on how to build something, try it on your own first. Even if the instructor explains what to do, don't see the answer with the code until you've attempted it on your own first. And don't be afraid to re-do any old projects as well to see if you can do it fully on your own!

Skillcrush is GREAT for teaching you the core foundations of web development concepts in a way that is easy to understand for someone coming into it with no knowledge at all. Don't rush through it and make sure you understand what you are doing and it will make your life much easier going forward. :) Read less

I completed the User Experience course recently via Skillcrush. I was drawn to skillcrush due to their compassionate approach and eagerness to help you succeed. The course layout is organized and easy to navigate. The course materials are thorough and understandable. The course could have had more hands on practice, but overall, I feel confident in the skills I learned. I am highly satisfied with my experience and will return for the Visual Design course. Happy Learning! Read less

I’ve learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Much of Skillcrush is hands on, with projects of HTML and CSS for you to get started with in the first few weeks of classes.  The teachers are very quick to respond to emails- but be ready to put your self reliance to the test. After all- if you want confidence enough in your coding skills to impress the interviewer at your next job interview, you need to be able to do the job description and then some!   Read less

AMAZING course. Great content and curriculum that is perfectly paced. Responsive teachers who are super helpful. And I've met graduates who have gone on to have incredibly successful careers after starting with Skillcrush. Great place to learn how to do tech even if you have absolutely no background in it. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to learn.  Read less

In this course we learned the basics of creating a one page website.  We had 22 lessons, each with 4-10 steps per lesson, so it was a great way to approach this new skill.  Each lesson was bite-sized, and well explained.  I had never coded anything in my life, and at the end of the course I was not only able to follow the instructions, but then created my own one-page site based on the skills I learned.  Plus the instructors are amazing!  They really cheer you on as you work through the course.  Highly recommend this school for anyone who wants to learn at their own pace, but also have a community who are in the same boat as you are!  Read less

I started the Break into Tech course in 2019, but was sidetracked by Covid and have now returned. Even with the few skills, I learned back then, I felt confident to begin making a much-needed career change. I was lucky enough to have signed up then. The course is a lifetime membership. Even though I signed up in 2019, with the lifetime membership I have been able to take part in any updates in the curriculum that was already part of the original course I purchased. There are tones of support from the instructors and other students. When I'm feeling discouraged, connecting with other students giving or getting feedback on class projects keeps me motivated. So far I am enjoying the course and feel it is money well-invested in myself.  Read less

I started with Skillcrush's User Experience Design blueprint, then added on the Visual Design blueprint then ultimately invested in the Break Into Tech package. I found that the skills all built on top of one another to give me the skills and confidence I needed to apply to jobs. I came in at the perfect time to take advantage of the job guarantee which gave me personalized career coaching! 

Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an affordable but highly effective program that allows you to learn at your own pace.  Read less

I love Skillcrush. I had an interest in tech careers for years, but it wasn't until I took their quiz about how I might fit into the tech field that I actually took the leap. What I love about Skillcrush personally is that everything is so clearly laid out and organized. I think people have learned to code on their own time for free, but for me, the convenience and knowing that I am getting the right tools and practice is invaluable. I love the platform, I love the practices, I love that there are add-ons in case you want to go a bit deeper down the rabbit hole. I would 100% recommend Skillcrush to anyone who is looking to get into tech. Read less

I’ve learnt so much on Skillcrush and the support you get is phenomenal. Whenever I got stuck someone was always a click away and they always responded within the hour! The lessons are super easy to digest and where it gets challenging there’s always someone to help. 10/10 would recommend to anyone wanting to learn new tech skills or even refresh old ones.  Read less
