Before you read this review, please take into account that this is probably will apply to you too only if you are 100% the same kind of person as I am. I want to give you a brief description about me so you can decide for yourself if you should take my review into consideration before you apply to Technigo. I.... - am not a Swedish and speak only English for the entire course - knew only basic (very very basic) HTML and CSS before I joined Technigo, so basically the experience was almost non existence - have anxiety & focus issue - get overwhelmed pretty easily - have a child - had finance support from my partner so that I could just study and paused my work for about 6 months
For me, I would say my experience with this course was like an extreme roller coaster. There were times when I thought I finally managed but then the next time I felt completely lost (but apparently that's what almost all developers feel like all the time). Here are some points I would say about this bootcamp;
- Every week, students got a new project and we were given reading materials and some videos to watch. The videos were very well made but unfortunately I think there weren't enough videos. Often I wish there were more recorded videos to start with because there were only 2 live sessions in 1 week. I personally think recorded videos were easier to understand because they were scripted, planned, and made so that it is easy to understand. Of course live sessions are very useful as well but I found it hard to focus in every session. My solution was to Google a lot of my problems, asked teammates, and looked at previous students repo to get some inspiration.
- I often felt confused and got overwhelmed by how much new information I got in one week. I didn't have the chance to take my time to understand more about the previous material because I had to go another subject the next week. However, that is what bootcamp is about. Fast learning. In one way, it's also good because I got to "sell" myself to employers with that ability to learn fast. Usually employers are very impressed at how much I've learnt in 6 months. So, this fast pace learning is a two ways swords for me. I was burning out ALL THE TIME, but looking at how I am now, I am glad I went through all those pain.
- The curriculum was pretty spot on with the demand of the market these days. Of course, there are many tech stacks that you might want to try but I think Technigo has chosen the ones that are the most popular. Maybe the next batch should get TypeScript intro as well (?)
- One of the best thing about joining this bootcamp for me is my teammates. I got 9 new amazing friends and they are all talented programmers now. Sometimes I felt like I didn't get much support from the teachers but my teammates were always there for me. So I can guarantee that you wouldn't feel alone in this journey.
- I studied fulltime (8-15) but often I knew it wasn't enough since it took time for me to understand many things. I found myself still studying in the evening after my child sleeps. Might not be the best way to learn but I guess I was too stressful and wanted to make it work. So, if you have stressful fulltime job, you might want to plan more. There are mandatory sessions where you have to be present for team sessions. In my case, it was every Monday and Tuesday. The live session with teacher isn't mandatory but I got to see recordings. One of my teammates have a fulltime job, so she mostly did her project in the evening. If you have the super ability like her, then go for it. But if you're like me, then you wouldn't make it with a fulltime job (that's why I took a break from work).
- If you have child(ren) and partner, you need to communicate with them about this bootcamp and how intense it could be. My partner knew how tired I was. I got overwhelmed almost all the time, I worried about the future and often I needed to be alone to function. I felt distance from my family during this study because of my stress. My partner helped a lot and took my role on the days I felt too much and couldn't function. So, definitely talk to your family and ask for help when you need it.
- Finding a job in tech is not easy but not impossible. I applied to 100+ jobs, got 1 interview and ghosted by 2 companies. I booked a 1on1 with career coach and she helped me to feel like maybe I could make it. As Technigo doesn't guarantee you will land a job, so this whole switch career business is your own responsibility with assistance from career coach. Assistance here is more like how you tailor your cv, your cover letter, LinkedIn, tips and tricks of how to switch career and of course the 1on1 session. It's useful if you already have connections in tech world but if you're like me who is an english speaking immigrant with zero connections, you might have to work a little harder on your job search. You got to standout among those who have 2-5 years experience.
OVERALL, I think this bootcamp helped me to kickstart my career in tech and got to know what I'm getting into, hence the 4 stars. There are things that they could improve (just like any other schools) but you got a chance to give them feedback as well and they will get back to you regarding anything you want to talk about, be it complains, compliments, or questions. I appreciated my time here because I got to know wonderful people. As I said before, this review might not applied to everyone who attended the bootcamp, but if you're like me or closer to how my situation is then you can take this review into consideration. I graduated recently and I got a job 2 weeks after I graduated. Last but not least, it is all up to you how you move forward with this. In the end, you have to work hard yourself and Technigo is a good tool to boost your progress.
I attended Technigo's UX bootcamp. The bootcamp was marketed for complete beginners, for people who have a little design experience or for people already working within UX wanting to upskill the skills further.
I attended the course with some design experience and was disappointed in the course curriculum and materials. But my biggest paint point was the lack of feedback. What is the point of paying 60 000kr if all you get is complete self-learning material and links to articles ...

I attended the course with some design experience and was disappointed in the course curriculum and materials. But my biggest paint point was the lack of feedback. What is the point of paying 60 000kr if all you get is complete self-learning material and links to articles to read? Every week you submit your weekly project, but you do not get feedback about it which makes improving really difficult. So instead of getting feedback from the pro's - you get feedback from your team mates which are most likely complete beginners with no so much input. Every week 4 projects out of all the small teams get a few minutes to present their work and get a bit feedback, but getting a few minutes of feedback once a month is not really doing the trick for me. This was the biggest pain point for me.
I also understand that Technigo is known for its coding bootcamps but using four (!) weeks on coding out of 16 weeks of study sprints feels a bit unnecessary as there would have been so much to learn within UX as well and that is the thing people are there for. It was all good for a solid week to understand better the co-op between developers and designers but that time was not well spent.
After recently completing Google's UX certificate, I must only say that not only the course material is so much better, the feedback system works better too (although you don't get pro feedback there either) but most of all - you pay like 2 000 kr for the course instead of 60 000 with better results in my opinion.

Outdated and not very helpfull
Sadly for the price I payed the school was not good at all! Outdated material we didnt get that much help from teachers at all sadly! Questions weren’t all ways answered or could take a week and the pace was definitely not 50%
This bootcamp is intense. It definitely gives you the basic knowledge to kickstart your journey into tech. Every week you get a new project with a new focus area. You learn a lot of new concepts during your time at the bootcamp. The description says that it is 50%, but you definitely have to put in more hours. I don't think you will get everything you need out of the bootcamp if you only do 20 hours a week, and you need to be aware of that before applying. Especially if you are completel...
This bootcamp is intense. It definitely gives you the basic knowledge to kickstart your journey into tech. Every week you get a new project with a new focus area. You learn a lot of new concepts during your time at the bootcamp. The description says that it is 50%, but you definitely have to put in more hours. I don't think you will get everything you need out of the bootcamp if you only do 20 hours a week, and you need to be aware of that before applying. Especially if you are completely new to coding like I was. I do think that what you learn is really relevant in the industry, and we learn up to date things. I do have a lot of comments about the support and the teachers though. We do code reviews ourselves and we do not get feedback from our teachers. If we have a question, we ask it on stack overflow and not directly to our teachers, except during the live sessions if there is time. Also, if you work during the week and code during the weekends, you will not get help from stack overflow as they only answer during the weekdays. You can get help from your team members but not Technigo. So you need to be aware that all that you learn is up to you. There is a chance to book one on ones, but they are scheduled and limited. I feel like I did not learn as much as I would have liked because I did not get much feedback and that is how I learn. I like to know what I could have done better, what is best practice, and what is not. As in our final project where we got comments that we should change some stuff as it was bad practice, but we had not learnt that before. It was never mentioned in the live sessions or video material. It was such a basic thing as well and we had to spend quite a lot of time to fix that after we had handed it in.
I also attended the career coaching. Be ready to juggle those assignments on top of your weekly projects. They give relevant tips, but are very slow on feedback. And as they say, they are only there to coach. You are the one who will have to land that job. They say that 95% gets a job afterwards, but do you know the timeframe? I did not. There are people who get a job before graduating, and there are people who get a job after 8 months. It would have been nice to know that beforehand, as it is paints Technigo in a very nice light. It is not as easy as the marketing implies. I graduated 2 weeks ago and I am still job hunting, and I am not the only one. Only one person out of 10 in my team has gotten a job so far.
So all in all: Very good marketing, good concept and so-so execution.
I am only writing this because I feel like I want to encourage people to take another path than, well...Technigo.
I will start by listing the things that I was happy with. I was very happy with one code coach, who did the live sessions two days a week. These live coding sessions were very valuable for my understanding of the weekly projects and I can't be more grateful that I had at least one teacher who was very competent and, above all, an experienced developer and pedagogue. <...

Another thing was my animal group, the group of individuals that you will collaborate with on projects throughout the whole course. They match you together based on location and I couldn't have been happier with mine.
Now to the bad stuff:
There is a lot of false advertising when it comes to the "code coaches". Not only are some of them very new to tech and therefore not very knowledgeable, there are just way too few of them to provide consistent support for a class of 50-60 students.
Technigo received a lot of criticism from my cohort regarding the code coaches and the overall structure for receiving support (mainly through StackOverflow, which was useless in mine and many other peoples' opinion). I heard they are changing this (by hiring more newly graduated BC attendees to be code coaches, hmm...) so maybe it has gotten better but hey I wouldn't expect too much if I were you. They rely on peer feedback to make the BC go round, because the huge cost of attending it is apparently not enough for Technigo to stop budgeting where it is crucial not to. Yes HR is costly, but for this price I really expected more.
And the "community support"? Well, did I really expect alumni's to have the time to sit and answer my stupid questions in their spare time?
I apologize for the bitterness and unpleasantness of my tone, but these are my honest feelings about this BC and I don't want to sugarcoat my experience for someone else. I was far from alone in my experience, and you can't help but feeling a bit cheated of all the amazing things you were promised in the beginning.
Also, why the hell are we learning Redux for state management in 2023?!
First of all, we are sorry that you feel this way! We would love to contact you to hear more about your story; if you want to share, please email us so we can talk.
We have 1-2 people behind the keyboard helping our students during office hours always. We also have three professional code coaches employed for the class, plus our teacher assistants (yes, those are alumnis) that you are mentioning. Our coaches offers bookable 1:1 sessions for help besides the scheduled live sessions. We're truly sorry that you feel that you didn't get enough help. If you still want our help – reach out, and we'll ofc help you!
And regards to Redux, I'm guessing you attended a previous co-hort? We don't have Redux on our curriculum anymore.
Thanks for your feedback!

So, after a couple of months of recovery from this bootcamp, I feel ready to share my experience! I went out this summer and have many times been about to advertise this course.
You pay an incredible amount of money and you get no help at all. This company is understaffed and the only help you basically get is via Stack, which is a website where you find out the answers yourself. This company is a scam that only wants money.
There were so many people who were dissatisfied with our course so I'm surprised they haven't gone bankrupt yet... On Technigo's website they have selected former students who describe how satisfied they are and that they changed careers. Let me be clear that those people have been doing some form of IT/TECH since before and had an easier time with this course than MANY of the rest of us had. So don't be fooled. This course is absolutely NOT tailored for new coders.
Whatever you do, absolutely do not apply to this bootcamp.

This bootcamp is more into your money than your learning... Understaffed, non updated material, you don't get help, cannot handle feedback and they don't care about you learning - as long as they get your money... Not worth it, trust me!

My thought on the bootcamp
I did the frontend bootcamp starting in January 2022, I did not complete but stoped taking the course after 8 weeks as I felt coding wasn't for me. I'm writing this review as it's hard to get accurate info what you can expect from the bootcamp. Take this into account that I have the perspective of someone who only did 8 out of 24 weeks and 95% of students who finish the course have jobs and seems pleased with the course as the demand for developers are higher than the supply.

I did the frontend bootcamp starting in January 2022, I did not complete but stoped taking the course after 8 weeks as I felt coding wasn't for me. I'm writing this review as it's hard to get accurate info what you can expect from the bootcamp. Take this into account that I have the perspective of someone who only did 8 out of 24 weeks and 95% of students who finish the course have jobs and seems pleased with the course as the demand for developers are higher than the supply.
The course runs at 50% pace, you have three teaching sessions per week and two where you study in your group. It's a generally a good program, the topics are relevant and you have a weekly project where you practice the things you learn.
Pros: If you finish you'll get a job that has better salaries and benefits than most industries and you get there in only 6 months. It's highly compressed and you get a snippet of the most relevant tools needed for a frontend developer. You'll get a good network of developers and a portfolio which you can show future employers.
Cons: The problem with frontend bootcamps is that you need to compress what other courses teach you in two years into 24 weeks at 50% pace. I had almost no prior experience of coding, in my group only 2 out of 8 had coded before. I would suggest you get as much coding experience as possible as the pace in the course is brutal. You will not be able to only put in 20 hours per week. All in my group put in 30+ hours at least.
My biggest criticism is that you don't get enough teaching on the basics and still is expected to complete fairly complicated coding projects each week. The explanation is that the program tries to improve your ability to solve problems simulating a regular day of a developer. In my group we were all struggling with javascript and we didn't have enough knowledge to complete the projects by ourselves but had to solve it by looking at previous students work and reverse-engineer it. As I didn't finish the program I can't say if the strategy of not giving enough teaching on these complex topics to improve the students problem-solving ability is the right way? Maybe it's the only way as the program is so compressed? To me it just seems counter-intuitive. How can you solve complex problems if you don't know the basics. On week 7 we were taught things that we would have needed to understand what we were doing on week 4, I can't understand the rational. If Technigo doesn't want to give more live sessions, why not have more pre-recorded material which the students can watch instead of filtering through 1000 clips on youtube. Everyone was struggling and when asking teachers for assistans you were forwarded to stack-overflow or tried to find the info online. After putting in several hours to solve something without success it doesn't feel like you're improving your problem-solving skills but only wasting time. If this is expected it needs to be communicated to the students.
Jumping into this bootcamp was like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of challenges, definitely not your typical stroll in the park. If you're the type who prefers the comfort of a silver-platter learning experience, this might not be your cup of tea. It's a journey that demands everything you've got—your blood, your sweat, and yeah, a few tears. But it's also so much fun and so much love. It's all the emotions at the same time....
Jumping into this bootcamp was like diving headfirst into a whirlwind of challenges, definitely not your typical stroll in the park. If you're the type who prefers the comfort of a silver-platter learning experience, this might not be your cup of tea. It's a journey that demands everything you've got—your blood, your sweat, and yeah, a few tears. But it's also so much fun and so much love. It's all the emotions at the same time. You will feel like you don't understand anything and the next day you will feel like you rule the world. It's like the coaches say: "You have to trust the process". This is not an easy ride, but if you're in for it and will give it your all it's going to be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life.
One of the most striking aspects is the teamwork. You're thrown into squads of roughly 10 people, mirroring a real tech team. Daily stand-ups, weekly retrospectives, demos, team tasks, paired programming, and those small group projects - it's like a crash course in real-world tech dynamics. But it's not just about coding; it's about leaning on your team when you're lost and celebrating together when you conquer a challenge. Vulnerability isn't just okay; it's a necessity. Sharing your highs and lows with your team is how you grow together. It's like having a bunch of teammates who become your safety net, always there to catch you when you stumble.
If you're looking to change careers, I would recommend joining the Career Coaching Program. Stepping out of my cozy comfort zone was nerve-wracking, but it pushed me to put myself out there. Scary? Absolutely. Worth it? Without a doubt.
This bootcamp wasn't just about learning to code; it was a crash course in discovering what you're made of. It showed me that if you're ready to roll up your sleeves and put in the work, there's no limit to what you can achieve. Yeah, it's tough, but for those willing to dive in headfirst, it's hands down one of the most rewarding experiences life has to offer.

Very Intense Frontend Development Bootcamp
The bootcamp was very challenging and intense, and had me doubt my capabilities a number of times. I learned a lot, and the education content is modern and sought after in the industry. I think the experience would be a bit better if you have more previous knowledge about coding, as it is A LOT of new stuff to take in every week. I really appreciate the emphasis on teamwork and getting to know your fellow classmates.

Be prepared for an intense and extremely rewarding experience! I would like to point out that this is based on my own experience, and in hindsight, I wish I had given myself more time to fully immerse myself in all the knowledge available at Technigo.
I decided in advance that I could manage this while working full-time at my previous job, and I could. HOWEVER, it was very intense, and I faced many unnecessary struggles related to stress and time management. I did survive knowing it was only six months of my time, and I was doing this for myself. Knowing this, I do not recommend doing this bootcamp with the intention of only putting in 50%.
Because… You get what you give, and the more time you invest, the more you will learn. The more effort you put into it and the more determination you have, the more knowledge you will gain from this experience. It should be clear that you are responsible for managing your own time (it’s a school for adults), and learning. You do have access to code coaches, previous students, the internet(you will learn what to search for), and that together with the curriculum, opens up infinite possibilities for expanding your knowledge. It all depends on the time you are willing to dedicate to it.
With that said, invest in yourself by allowing the luxury of time if you decide to pursue this, and you will have an epic experience!
I gained not only the knowledge to become a frontend (or full-stack if I wanted to) developer, but also a totally new community and great friends. Having each other's backs and empowering each other, sharing insights, both ups and downs and always finding a way forward, together.
I strongly recommend this if you’re anything like me, looking to change your career for the better and are determined to work hard.

The curriculum was comprehensive, covering everything from the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to more advanced concepts like responsive design and front-end frameworks. What stood out to me was the practical approach to learning. We weren't just passive listeners; we were active participants, constantly applying what we learned through a series of projects that simulated real-world scenarios.
The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, and helped us grasp complex concepts. The collaborative environment fostered by the bootcamp was another highlight, enabling us to learn from our peers and build a network of aspiring developers.
Recommend this to anyone who want to change their career fast or learn just for fun!
