comprehensive and supportive

The course is designed for you to understand and achieve. There is a lot of support and encouragement. The TA are available throughout the day and are very willing to help with assignments. I had many instances where I was helped very quickly on assignments, I wasn't sure about. The class is very doable. There are breaks in the class to give you time to catch up or rest. The instructor was knowledgeable and considerate of students needs about the class. -

UX/UI
Read more Read less of Sarah Ecker's review
I found the bootcamp offered through TAMUK in UX/UI design. I started in May 2020 and finished in September 2020. Through out the entire curriculum, it was shoddy at best. There was no communication from instructors or the admissions folks. They had my name incorrect and I asked for it to be corrected. I reached out about the lack of career counselling that we were promised. No response. I reached out about the lack of information in the slides and finally, I stopped doing anything at all. I did nothing the last month of the course and yet somehow I graduated? On September 1, 2020 I received an email regarding the balance due. I had no issues paying it but asked for monthly payments. They were combative and rude. I spoke with a lawyer through VetEdSuccess and she helped me negotiate a payment plan. They emailed other students asking them to leave reviews and when students declined or left bad ones, they found reasons to take away their certificate. After this I began researching more. I spoke with someone at TAMU and was informed that they had evaluated their contracts with these bootcamps and found that University Bootcamps (who did the UX/UI bootcamps) were terrible and had cancelled the contract YET they still allowed unsuspecting students to be scammed. Each month I am sent an invoice randomly and I tell them when I can pay it. They blow up my email and threaten legal action when I don't respond immediately. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Go to a more reputable UX/UI bootcamp and save yourself some heartache, money and time. -

Full stack web development courses
Great curriculum and even greater instructors. The 2 days a week one on one sections you receive with real world professional developers is the best part about the program. Here you get to pick the brains of the professionals and get some of your questions answered regarding the course material. -

Good value
Read more Read less of Jonathan Niess's review
I completed the Full Stack Web Development boot camp in November of 2020.
I found the online self paced structure convenient. The curriculum was adequate but sometimes felt out of date. I don't blame them entirely as technology and software advances very quickly. The instructors are knowledgeable and can make up for any of the very few instances that the curriculum falls short. I can't stress enough that the curriculum is good. It's just not perfect.
Overall the course was incredibly valuable to me and my career. I came in with very little coding experience, almost none. It is important that you are proficient with computers and know some coding basics that you can teach yourself before starting.
I am still working on finding a job but so far the career assistance department has been helpful.
I believe the Full Stack Web Development boot camp is a great value. I looked at a lot of web development boot camps before pulling the trigger on this one and you can't beat this price. It's worth it.

I am currently undertaking the "Post Graduate Program in Data Science & Business Analytics" - my experience so far with the Program has been excellent and it seems to have exceeded my expectations and the learning objectives I had set out for myself at the beginning of the program. The overall program is โhighly structured, with a well-curated learning approach, and offering the right-mix of exposure to the leading ML tools & techniques, application of these in business context via extensive case studies, with a hands-on learning approach applying the ML techniques using Python.
The entire learning experience has been very good with the โOlympus Great Learning Platformโ along with a highly supportive Program Management Office who are always there to extend necessary support & guidance throughout the learning journey.
The program experience for me, has been highly enriching & rewarding from a learning perspective and I would recommend this Program to anyone who is keen to understand the domain of Business Analytics, gain appreciation of various Machine Learning Techniques with a practical application of these techniques across various industries and looking to build a strong foundation in and to advance career in Data Science & Analytics. -

Hi! My name is Teri my background is in environmental biology. I decided to enroll in the Texas A & M Web Development bootcamp based on the cost and job guarantee. I am so happy I did. My instructor was great and I learned a ton throughout the course of the bootcamp. I feel like I have a great foundation to launch into a career in web development. If you are looking for a bootcamp with no prior experience, this is a great place to start! -

After much research I decided to select the Texas A+M Web Development Bootcamp through Quickstart. It was perfect for me with no experience in the field. I was able to quickly get started and work through the curriculum and build my knowledge along the way. I have learned so much during my time in the Bootcamp. I felt supported the while time, through bi-weekly mentor sessions, weekly self-paced, and one on one support when needed. I have just finished the bootcamp and I am looking into possible opportunities for my official career change. I would recommend this course to anyone that is looking to get into web development.

Excellent bootcamp.
Pros
Affordable
Flexible classes are online so you can learn at your own pace.
Good mentors.
Cons
Material can be outdated. At times you will see that the material in the courses can be a bit outdated but if you are willing to ask and search you will be okay.
Pacing if you don't have any programming background this bootcamp will feel like it is going too fast for you. I highly recommend learning the basics of programming before jumping into this bootcamp. -

10/10 Mentorship
Sean is clearly an expert with lots of hands-on real-world skills. What I love more about him is that he never holds back valuable resources and information. He encourages students in the Bootcamp to interact, ask questions and collaborate. He checked in on my progress regularly and reviewed my work as a mentor. This shows his dedication to my success.
