My experience at SPICED started out well - but as the course proceeded, I quickly recognized that the program didn't have the value I was hoping for. I wish the program was much more transparent upfront - otherwise I wouldn't have invested so much money into it This review isn't meant to be bitter - but more of a constructive critique.

My experience at SPICED started out well - but as the course proceeded, I quickly recognized that the program didn't have the value I was hoping for. I wish the program was much more transparent upfront - otherwise I wouldn't have invested so much money into it This review isn't meant to be bitter - but more of a constructive critique.
Generally, the staff were super nice. I thought David (the head instructor) was affable – However, after overhearing him mutter an insult under his breath about me (after asking a javascript question), it was alienating - it hurt - and it made me less comfortable talking with him – which is unfortunate, since I thought he was a nice guy.
The typical day consisted of a short presentation (30-45min) in the morning - followed by a task to complete. The proceeding 6 hours you were left on your own to actually learn the material - usually from youtube instructional videos & stack overlow. It reminded me of that quote from Good Will Hunting "“You wasted $150,000 on an education you coulda got for $1.50 in late fees at the public library.”
I get it – a lot of the learning process is self teaching. But it’s also about inspiration from instructors – and further, being around motivated, smart peers.
More than half of my cohort left a few weeks in– instruction became bleak- sitting in a giant, empty room - watching instructional Youtube videos, alone. With an instructor I felt I couldn’t ask questions to – 100% demotivating.
I also get it. The program can’t be as selective as programs such as App Academy, Flatiron, Hack Reactor,etc. It’s new and it needs as many students as possible – so they’re not in the position of turning anyone away. This invariably leads to a bad mix of students.
Are there better programs out there, definitely. I’m hoping SPICED has grown up and revamped their course – it was a shame – the basic pieces were there. But the Instructors and Adminstrators should not be proud of what happened.
