UNC Charlotte Boot Camps Reviews
- Full Time Full Stack- 2/17/2019Max Allee • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Full-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedInAfter completing the Full Time Full Stack Boot Camp I have a solid grasp of the basics of web development. More than just teaching the specifics of the languages the course teaches you how to tackle any new programming problem that is put in front of you. Both the professor and the TA's were excellent. I never felt that I could not reach out and ask questions.But, as with most things in life, you get out of this course what you put into it. It is the expectation of the course that students will study the topics being covered in class outside of class as well. If you choose not to do this you may quickly fall behind in the class. But if you put in the time and the effort this course will put you on the path to a new career.
Response From: Boot Camp Team of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamMonday, Feb 18 2019Way to go, Max! We're thrilled you successfully learned full-stack web development and feel confident in tackling new problems. Like you said, you do get out of this course what you put in, so it's important to work hard and commit to mastering the material. Congratulations on graduating and thank you for your review! All the best in your future endeavors.

I recently completed the Full Stack, Full Time bootcamp. Overall I was very satisfied with the bootcamp. The instructor and the TAs were very hands on and knowledgable. I was able to produce quality work and able to find a computer programming job two months after completion. I can honestly say that without this bootcamp I would never have been able to get the job that I have now.
Response From: Boot Camp Team of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamThursday, Feb 14 2019Thanks for sharing your experience, Parker! We're happy to hear you were satisfied with the program and found our instructional team to be so knowledgeable. Congratulations on graduating and starting an exciting new career! We wish you success going forward.
- Donnie- 1/27/2019
I recently graduated from the UNCC Full Stack Program and had no real web development experience prior to beginning the program. I decided to attend the UNCC Coding Bootcamp at the recommendation on one of my co-workers at the financial company we worked for. I started working with him toward the end of his program and personally watched how he was able to finish the boot camp and turn that into a job offer with a local financial company as a QA Engineer testing their platform all with no prior experience with development. This proved the effectiveness of the program and from that point, I was convinced to start the same program in the next cohort.
This program while very rewarding is difficult. It is intensive and will require an extremely large investment of your time but once finished you will have learned or been exposed to the full spectrum of tools necessary to be a full stack developer. This program moves extremely fast also and you must dedicate time to develop your craft even after you graduate (Even after graduating I am working just as hard if not harder on learning other tools and reinforcing what I learned in the boot camp) Always Be Coding should be your mantra. The boot camp does not guarantee you a job once finished but if you go through the process of not only learning the technical aspects but also developing your portfolio and following the steps advised by career services you will put yourself in a position to gain employment.
The instructors have over 50 years of real-world experience in the industry and know their stuff. They are always available and truly want you to succeed and find employment after the program is over.
I am currently freelancing and hope to land a permanent position soon and will tell you that I have multiple degrees including an MBA and will say that this program is the best decision I have ever made. What you learn you can apply immediately and will be the best decision you could make for your future as well.Response From: Boot Camp Team of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamMonday, Jan 28 2019Amazing, Donnie! You're completely right that this program is difficult but completely rewarding. We're glad you enjoyed your instructors and continue to work on advancing your web development skills. Congratulations on graduating! We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
- Quickly transitioned my career- 7/2/2018Annalisa • Junior Programmer • Student • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
I signed up for the full time UNCC Coding Bootcamp because I was looking to start a new career quickly. It is a very fast-paced course, which was perfect for my career goals, but was a struggle at times as you would barely have time to learn a concept before moving onto something new. The instructor, Jeff Hoffman, was amazing. He answered all my questions in great depth, and put in time before and after class to help his students with their homework, on top of making sure he was prepared for each and every lesson.
I would advise anyone interested in this course to be aware that taking it does not guarantee you a job. While developers might be in high demand, there are a lot of junior developers out there. Be prepared after this course to continue learning and developing on your own, improving your skills before you find someone willing to hire you.
Response From: Boot Camp Team of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Community TeamTuesday, Jul 03 2018Thank you so much for your review, Annalisa! We are happy you chose our program to start a new career. This is a fast-paced program that requires students to put in extensive time and effort to master the course material in a short amount of time, so we commend all the hard work you dedicated. We are thrilled your instructor was always prepared and knowledgeable - we also think Jeff is amazing!
You are completely right that our career services are built on the principle of empowerment, and we do not secure direct employment for students. We strive to prepare and coach students as they work to find the job that's right for them through individualized support, technical interview training, portfolio reviews, resume/social media profile support, and more. As you noted, it's important for students to continue learning and developing their skills, even after graduating from the course, in order to reinforce their career search. We truly appreciate your feedback as we are constantly refining our services to best help students prepare as they step out into the job market. Congratulations on graduating and we wish you great success going forward!
- Best Boot Camp in Charlotte- 6/19/2018Tyler Olli • Full Stack Developer • Applicant • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
I thoroughly enjoyed my time at UNC Charlotte's Full Stack Coding Boot Camp, I was actually the first class to graduate from the program. I was working full time, and taking the course at night, so I did have some difficulty getting all of the homework and assignments done. Please be aware this is a VERY INTENSIVE COURSE. You truly get out what you put into it. That being said. you definitely learn a lot in a short amount of time, the MERN Stack (MongoDB, Express, React, and Node) is something that I see a lot of employers here in Charlotte looking for (Angular is also another framework that is highly sought after). In terms of jobs, honestly, you will most likely have a lot of difficulties finding one. I myself struggled to try to find a new job after graduation (originally was an entry-level web developer trying to transition into a Jr. - Mid Level position) and ended up starting my own company, Bright Digital Solutions.
Overall I would highly recommend this boot camp for anyone who is looking to take their coding to the next level and land a better job. Just know you REALLY have to apply yourself. You will essentially have no life for 6 months, spend each and every waking hour coding, but you will learn to love what you do and will have a very fulfilling career afterward. This program does not guarantee you a job by any means, but if you continue to improve your portfolio, work on as many side projects as possible, and constantly commit code to your Github account, you will be alright. The creator of this boot camp gave us some wise words of wisdom upon graduation, and I hope I am not out of line by saying this here. Make sure to follow your ABC's - always be coding. There should never be a day go by where you are not writing at least one line of code.
I wanted to give a shout out to my instructors, Kevin Fauth and Terra Taylor, as well as Steve CaChat. I wouldn't be at the place I am at now, both in my career path and coding skills, without you guys. To anyone reading this, please feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn if you have any questions about the boot camp!
Response From: Steve CaChat of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Student Success ManagerFriday, Jun 22 2018Way to go, Tyler! We are thrilled you had such a positive experience learning valuable web development skills. We know it takes serious commitment to balance a full-time job with such an intensive program, so we commend for all the hard work you dedicated to this rigorous course. It is very true that you only get out what you put in, and individuals will have to seriously apply themselves to mastering the course material. It's great to hear you felt supported and encouraged by our entire team - we are all passionate about student success!
You are absolutely right that the job search can be strenuous, and requires hours of commitment on behalf of students. Like you mentioned, while we do not secure direct employment for our students, we strive to equip, coach, and guide students as they work to find the role that's right for them. We have to agree that if you continue to improve your portfolio, work on side projects, and frequently commit to your GitHub account, you can be successful! This is great advice. Congratulations on graduating and starting your own company. We are cheering you on as you go forward!
- Full stack Web Development- 6/14/2018Erin • Front End Developer • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via GitHub
This full stack web development course was great!!! I was looking for a career change, and I looked into this program. It had great reviews. I spoke with the rep and did the screening interview and assessment, was approved to apply, and before I knew it I was starting class. I had ZERO prior knowlege of coding or computers in general. And 6 months later, here I am eligable for hundreds of great dev jobs in the city. Kevin and Darin were amazing instructors. I honestly couldn't have gotten better. Their intellegence and level of experience is off the charts.
As for the TAs, they were the cream of the crop. All of them graduates from the program so they KNOW what we go through, how to help, and what works. They were all available before and after every class and always available on the Slack channel. They really do care, want you to succeed and go above and beyond to help you get it. Be sure to let them, and the instructors that they are appreciated, they all work so hard.
All in all, it was one of, if not the best choices I've ever made. I've only been out 2 weeks, and am getting ready to being the job hunt. Some fellow classmates had jobs before the course was even over. I did thte part-time program being that I work full time. Those 6 months flew by! My only advice is time management. We are all busy, but make time for class, homework, reviewing class lectures, redoing activities.
I won't lie, it is A LOT OF INFORMATION that you cover in 6 short months. THere are times when you will want to give up, want to brush off an assigment, but don't. I promise it's with sacrifice and time. It's hard. It is a HUGE commitment, and your dedication is the only way to succeed. You get out of it what you put into it. So make the effort, you will thank yourself.
The career services has just changed leadership, as of today as I'm writing this review, so as of now my review of them is not flattering. At all. It has been a joke to say the least. Just networking through class has yielded more results. BUT, hopefully the new leadership will make the very much needed changes and improve the services for the next cohort, and for our cohort from here on out.

- Awesome Experience- 5/23/2018Stephen Chapman • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
I enrolled in the Full-Time (12-week), Full Stack Flex Web Development bootcamp in October 2017 and finished in February 2018.
There wasn't a whole lot of information available about this bootcamp but I decided to take the plunge anyway -- I was really hungry for a life change.
Overall it was a great life changing experience. My instructor, Jeff, was a fantastic teacher and a really fun guy. The TAs in my class were super helpful and available.
I highly recommend the full-time bootcamp if you can swing it. You can totally immerse yourself with 30 other students all trying to accomplish the same thing ... a life and career change. The energy and anticipation in the room is really great.
One of the cool things about my experience is that I not only rekindled a love for coding that I had in high school, but I also found that I like teaching code almost as much as I like writing code. Realizing this, I jumped at an opportunity to become a Teacher Assistant for the bootcamp part-time ... something I wouldn't have imagined I'd be doing a year ago sitting in my cubicle as an engineer. I now not only have new coding knowledge, but a lot more confidence with public speaking!
A few notes:
- I had taken a C++, Java and Visual Basic class in high school and so I had a fundamental understanding of programming prior to this class which was very helpful. My fellow classmates who had no coding experience definitely struggled with the pace of the class.
- When they say that you will be spending 20+ hours a week out side of class... it is 100% true! I sometimes sat down on Saturdays and coded for 12 hours straight.
- The curriculum for this class is all about exposure. It sets you up and points you in the right direction. I found though that unless I sat down and crunched through things on my own, the concepts would not stick. You have to write your own code, even when you feel like you have no idea what you are doing.
Ultimately, this class is a shortcut to becoming employment ready in the coding world. Where as it might take somebody 2 years of learning on their own, this class can chop that in half ... and like I said a fair number of my classmates landed a job in 3 months after the class ... which is a total turn around time of 6 months (3 months of class + 3 months after class). Not bad for making a complete career/life change.

Title: Student Success ManagerWednesday, May 23 2018Thank you for your review, Stephen! We are happy to hear our instructors and TAs were so helpful during your significant life change - we also agree Jeff is pretty fantastic! Thank you for coming back to TA for us, we are really passionate about education and truly appreciate your enjoyment of teaching and writing code. Like you noted, this is an immersive course, one that requires a serious amount of dedication and practice outside of class. We applaud you for all the hard work and long hours you put in to master the topics, it definitely paid off. Congratulations on completing the boot camp! We wish you great success moving forward.
- Best Decision I've Made!- 5/22/2018Devin DiNapoli • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
I joined the Bootcamp with no knowledge in web development or any sort of coding at all, with exception of some prior C++ from high school/college. I took a break from University a few years back, and was absolutely terrified to go back into the classroom again. However, the transition of going back into the classroom was not a struggle whatsoever.
The instructors and and TA's were absolutely INCREDIBLE. They were all extrememly helpful, and 99% of the time they were available to help with any issue I had. The student success advisor, as well as our career services advisor, were VERY helpful as well. Anita gave all of us the necessary tools to find a job in the always growing job market.
The program itself is tough, that's for sure. It's not for everyone, but if you're willing to put in the time, effort, and work, you'll come out being an incredible developer. You come out of the course being knowledgable in both front end and back end development, which will give you the upperhand when applying for jobs, as well as building applications!
Yes, it might take some time to find a job afterwards, but you just have be patient and keep coding. Yes, I'm still seeking employment, but it's only been a few weeks since I've graduated, and I already have some job interviews lined up. So to look back at how I was when I first started to now, I think that says a lot about this program.
I highly reccomend taking this course. It is WELL worth the money. Think of it as an investment for your future self!

It's great to know our entire team was so helpful throughout every step of the boot camp journey - we also agree Anita is pretty great! You are completely right that if you rigorously study and put in the effort, you will be prepared to step out into today's job market as a web developer. Congratulations on graduating, we know you will go on to do great things in your future endeavors!
- Regretting the Decision- 3/28/2018Karin Hermann • Rock Climbing Coach • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
I enrolled in the second session of the coding bootcamp after a lot of hesitation and was given a good sales pitch about future employers lining up at my door and all of the opportunities we would have to get involved in the tech scene in Charlotte.
I felt very much like we got a very broad base of knowledge that many employers don’t think is enough, and now there are hundreds of us with the same education so every resume gets sent back with a “Sorry, we just have too many junior developers with the same credentials and no experience.”
The instructors were great but I think it was a waste of money as I am now in debt and still can’t find a job.
Response From: Steve CaChat of UNC Charlotte Boot Camps
Title: Student Success ManagerWednesday, Apr 04 2018Hi Karin,
Thank you for taking the time to share your personal experience with us. We want to first congratulate you on seeing the course through to the end and finishing strong! We are aware that completing a rigorous program like ours requires extensive hours of review and practice.
It's great to hear that you were happy with your instructors and that they were able to provide a positive learning experience. We are constantly working to ensure the success of our students and are very proud of the passion and support that our instructional staff provides.
Because we teach such a wide array of technologies in a short amount of time, our curriculum focuses on giving students a high level, hands-on understanding of the topics covered in class, with the goal of students expanding on that understanding outside of class. We regularly audit and update our curriculum based on the market demands and employer input, and the companies that we engage with do feel that we teach a robust set of skills to make our students competitive job seekers.
We regret to hear that your time with our career services team did not meet your expectations due to the departure of your original career director. After their departure, Anita Smalls stepped in as career director, providing various professional development services such as 1:1 coaching, resume support, portfolio reviews, and more. Our records indicate that after you expressed dissatisfaction with the level of support you were receiving, both Anita and our Vice President of Career Services, attempted to reach you on several occasions, starting in January. While they were not able to personally reach you, we did continue sending additional job opportunities in your area. Were any of these opportunities of interest to you? We know job seeking is difficult and strenuous, which is why we encourage students to submit a number of quality applications on a weekly basis; this helps students maximize their networking and increase their possibilities of securing a well-matched position.
The career services team strives to be clear about expectations for our job support. While we cannot secure a job for you, we are here to empower you with the tools and preparation needed to find the right role. We were able to provide you with feedback on your career ready tools and hope you found that to be helpful.
Our goal is for all students to leave the program feeling equipped for success and confident in their skills. As our career services do not end at graduation, we would love the opportunity to provide you with any additional career readiness support you need at this time to help you put your best foot forward as you continue the job search. Please contact me directly at (704) 601-6030 so we can further discuss your needs.

I went to the UNCC Coding Bootcamp without any knowledge about code or programming. It was the best experience I ever had, the teaching and student support staff is amazing, the program is unique and constantly getting updated to fit the current market need in Charlotte area. The Bootcamp gives you tools and skillset to become a great Full Stack Web Developer. However, it is not easy, you have to put in a lot of time to reach your goal.You have to be prepared to work in the team, learning, Google-ing and have fun!

- You get out what you put in- 7/26/2017Matt White • Node JS Developer • Graduate • Course: Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Campus: Charlotte • Verified via LinkedIn
Like other reviewers have mentioned, this is a legitimately hard course. Depending on your background, this may be one of the harder educational ventures in your life. However, in my opinion, it is absolutely worth it. If you put in the time and effort, you will definitely come out of this program with the skills necessary to succeed in the marketplace.
That being said, you must approach this program with the proper attitude. If you do the bare minimum, your chances of breaking into development post-graduation are slim. That may sound harsh, but it's the reality of the situation, and if you know this going in you are far more likely to succeed. The good news is, you are constantly surrounded by people who truly want to push you and help you to achieve your goals. TAs, instructors, and career services are committed to helping you every step of the way. I can honestly say this is one of the few times in education where I felt everyone in the organization went above and beyond in terms of guiding me.
So, is this course right for you? If you thrive on a challenge and know coding is the career path for you, then I would wholeheartedly recommend this program.
