    Better Than I Expected

    I was looking to change careers. I've been working as an assembler in manufacturing for about 20 years and wanted more flexibility. I was interested in marketing but lacked the skills to feel confident about pursuing it. At a friend's suggestion, I looked into boot camps and discovered the UofT SCS Digital Marketing Boot Camp. I was impressed by the curriculum, which offered every topic I could imagine related to a career in digital marketing, from social media, organic search, paid ads to CRMs and automation.

    The instructor was fantastic, very knowledgeable, patient, and ensured everyone understood the topics. The topics were covered in-depth, there were many real-world examples, walkthroughs showing how different platforms and software worked, like WordPress, Google Analytics, Facebook and LinkedIn Ads, etc., and assignments to apply our knowledge. They showed us how to pull data and analyze campaign metrics to help determine performance. This program is intense with new modules almost every week, module assignments and two group projects. At the same time, it's amazing how much I've learned in such a short amount of time.

    I took up the "Data Analytics and Visualization" bootcamp to upskill myself. I have some basic knowledge of what the field would look like and I was ready to put in the hours. The one thing which helped me a lot was the simplified outlay of the bootcamp. I knew which module would be targeted and learning concepts were provided beforehand for me to get a better grip on concepts. A huge shoutout to the bootcamp instructor Bharadwaj (Bharat) Janarthanan and TAs Divya and Sunil for their unwavering support and guidance throughout the course. This course is fast paced (as most concepts are covered withing a 6 month period but the groundwork laid by the coursework is excellent. I highly encourage individuals looking to break into Data Analytics to consider this. A huge thank you to U of T SCs for offering this opportunity to newcomers.

    Why I waited this long to take this course?

    That's the question I asked myself when I started Data Analytics Bootcamp. Fortunately, It is never too late to seek knowledge. I see the tech world differently, I see data differently, and I see websites differently. Thank you for offering this program. I will continue to gain knowledge in DevOps and Web Editing!

    I joined the Data Analytics Bootcamp with University of Toronto in August 2023. My reason to join was to upskill myself to join the industry back after a long career gap. Although the course was very fast-paced and rigorous it covered a wide variety of topics in a very organized manner. I loved the fact that there was help available 24X7 with resources like AskBCS, Tutor Sessions, office hours. This course gave me the confidence boost I needed to re-launch my career. The instructional team was amazing and always very patient. If you're looking to get the best educational experience but have limited time on hands, this should be your go-to path.

    Best Decision Ever

    Read more Read less of Indra Manahan's review

    Embarking on the journey of the 12-week Full Stack coding bootcamp has undoubtedly been one of the most impactful decisions I've made in my life. From the moment I enrolled to the completion of the program, every step of the way was filled with invaluable learning experiences, challenges, and personal growth.

    The structure and curriculum of the bootcamp were meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of both front-end and back-end development. Week by week, we delved into a diverse range of topics, from HTML and CSS to JavaScript frameworks, databases, and server-side programming languages. Each module built upon the previous one, reinforcing concepts and allowing us to gradually expand our skills.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of the bootcamp was the hands-on approach to learning. Rather than passively absorbing information through lectures, we were encouraged to actively engage with the material through coding exercises, projects, and real-world simulations. This practical, project-based learning style not only deepened our understanding but also equipped us with the practical skills and confidence needed to tackle real-world coding challenges.

    The support and mentorship provided by the instructors and teaching assistants were instrumental in my success throughout the bootcamp. Their expertise, guidance, and unwavering encouragement created a supportive learning environment where I felt empowered to push my boundaries and strive for excellence. Whether it was troubleshooting a bug in my code or seeking advice on career prospects, they were always available to offer assistance and guidance.

    The bonds formed during late-night coding sessions and shared victories over challenging assignments created a sense of belonging and solidarity that extended beyond the classroom. We celebrated each other's successes, supported one another through setbacks, and shared in the collective joy of overcoming obstacles. These shared experiences forged friendships that will undoubtedly endure long after the bootcamp has ended.

    In conclusion, the 12-week Full Stack coding bootcamp was not just a journey of technical skill acquisition but also a transformative experience that shaped me both personally and professionally. It instilled in me a sense of resilience, determination, and community that will continue to guide me on my journey as a software developer. For anyone considering enrolling in a coding bootcamp, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It may just be the best decision you ever make.

    I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The rich knowledge shared by the instructor, Mark and TAs, Bertram & Ravina was unparalleled. As a full time employee, I was very skeptical when I joined this course, and wasn't positive I'd be able to manage my time well, while I struggle learning new concepts. The whole experience, in the contrary was encouraging and absolutely helpful. The virtual classroom setup as conducive for a good knowledge share and communicative lessons.

    Thanks for giving me the opportunity for successfully completing a valuable course!

    Pursuing a Career in Cybersecurity & Application to UofT SCS Cybersecurity Boot Camp:From the onset, my career was intricately aligned with transport technology. While this gave me a strong foundation in technological principles, my exposure to reviewing fraud in social services ignited an interest in digital security. I recognized that in this digital age, safeguarding data and ensuring the integrity of systems is of paramount importance. This realization was accentuated by the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks and data breaches in the news.With a desire to pivot into cybersecurity, I began researching educational programs that would facilitate this transition. UofT SCS Cybersecurity Boot Camp stood out, not only due to its reputation but also because of its comprehensive curriculum that promised a blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience.Experience with UofT SCS Cybersecurity Boot Camp:Stepping into the boot camp, I had minimal knowledge of cybersecurity. The contrast between then and now is staggering. Today, I can engage in detailed discussions about the latest cybersecurity threats, mitigation strategies, and the evolving landscape of the cyber world.A significant aspect of the boot camp that I value immensely is the support system. The teaching assistants and tutors ensured that I was never lost, guiding me through complex topics and challenges. Their expertise coupled with the curriculum's structure played a pivotal role in my rapid ascent in the realm of cybersecurity.The transformation has been profound. From being a novice, I now tutor students in the latter stages of their cybersecurity education. This not only speaks volumes about the efficacy of the boot camp but is also a testament to the personal growth and confidence I've garnered from this experience.Advice for Prospective Students:
    1. Time Commitment: While the boot camp equips you with the tools and knowledge, it's imperative to supplement this with self-study. I dedicated 15-20 hours a week outside of the formal sessions to delve deeper into topics, practice, and review resources.
    2. Engage Actively: Actively participate in sessions, ask questions, and seek clarification. Engaging with peers can provide different perspectives, enhancing understanding.
    3. Practice Regularly: Cybersecurity is a field where theoretical knowledge needs to be complemented with practical application. Regularly practice what you learn, set up mock environments, and challenge yourself.
    4. Stay Updated: The world of cybersecurity is dynamic. Make it a habit to stay updated with the latest trends, threats, and technologies.
    5. Utilize Resources: The boot camp provides a plethora of resources. Make sure you review them, as they can provide valuable insights and deepen your understanding.
    Remember, the journey through the boot camp is as much about personal growth as it is about professional development. Embrace challenges, celebrate milestones, and never stop learning.

    I am hoping to make a career change and this was a stepping stone towards that change. It was a very intense endeavor and I gained both the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of cyber security. However, this knowledge and experience is not enough to sit for the Multiple Choice Questions format exam that is required to pass for the Security+ Examination. 
    I strongly believe that the course should incorporate the practical aspect of how to sit for this exam in the real world.

    Sharing here my great experience with University of Toronto SCS Full stack Coding Bootcamp online.
    I worked in software test automation before I decided to take this bootcamp full stack development course.
    My previous coding experience helped me to scale up and transition easily to understand the development course.
    My favourite aspects of the UofT SCS Coding Boot Camp Online program are
     1. Well crafted the course design and modules are examples: The gradual introduction of concepts and the building of larger concepts upon smaller ones is an effective teaching method that allows for better comprehension and understanding.
     2. The weekly challenges also seem to have played a significant role in keeping you engaged and motivated throughout the course, as they provided opportunities to apply your knowledge and create your own projects.
     3. In class: The hands-on approach during class, where the tutor explains concepts and allows for immediate practical application, is undoubtedly beneficial for better understanding and the ability to clarify any doubts on the spot.
    My advice to prospective students will be to have a passion for development, embracing challenges, and dedicating extra study time outside of class hours are crucial for making the most of the course. My own experience of completing numerous projects in different topics speaks to the effectiveness of this approach.The bootcamp instilled great confidence to take up development work later.

    UofT: Cybersecurity Bootcamp - Changing career is now easy

    Read more Read less of Keya Upadhyay's review
    Switching careers is often portrayed as an exciting and limitless opportunity, but the reality of putting it into action can be much more challenging. My personal journey into the field of Cybersecurity began with a mix of thrill and apprehension. I made the decision to transition from Financial Crimes Intelligence to Cybersecurity simply because I felt it was time for a new and different challenge. And what better way to embark on this new chapter than by joining one of the most reputable universities?

    Like many others, I diligently researched and read reviews before enrolling, and I can confidently say that I have never been prouder of my decision. The enrollment process itself was remarkably smooth, and from the moment I spoke to the admission officer until graduation in August , 2023, my journey has been and will be celebrated and nurtured with unwavering support, valuable insights, and an incredibly conducive learning environment.

    What truly amazed me was the sense of camaraderie among the students who were all on a similar path of career change. I never felt alone or isolated in this pursuit. We have a brilliant instructor with extensive industry experience, supportive Teaching Assistants, a dedicated Student Learning Success Manager, and weekly tutoring sessions. All these resources combined to create an atmosphere that made studying and progressing through the program remarkably comfortable.

    To anyone who may be contemplating a career change and seeking certainty, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap. It is undoubtedly a tough decision, but choosing UofT's Bootcamps will likely become one of your best decisions. While I personally vouch for the Cybersecurity program, there are numerous other options available that can significantly enhance your career prospects and knowledge as an alumnus of the University of Toronto.

    I am truly grateful for the recognition and proud of my accomplishments during the past months. Graduation is indeed a significant milestone, and I appreciate the support and guidance I received throughout my journey.

    I am more than willing to share a brief testimonial about my experience on Course Report. It would be my pleasure to contribute and provide insights into the path that led me to pursue this career and why I chose to apply to the Boot Camp.

    When considering my career path, I realized the growing importance of cybersecurity and its impact on businesses and individuals alike. 

    My experience with the boot camp exceeded my expectations. The program provided a dynamic and immersive learning environment, which allowed me to develop a solid foundation in cybersecurity principles and gain practical skills applicable to real-world scenarios. The hands-on projects and collaborative exercises were particularly valuable, as they enhanced my problem-solving abilities and fostered teamwork. Moreover, the supportive community and mentorship provided by the instructors further enriched my learning experience, the Instructor and his assistants were amazing. 

    If I were to highlight one favorite aspect of the program, it would be the emphasis on experiential learning. The opportunity to work on actual cybersecurity challenges and apply the knowledge acquired in class not only built my confidence but also prepared me for the demands of the industry. The practical nature of the boot camp ensured that I was well-prepared to tackle cybersecurity issues effectively.

    To prospective students considering this path, my advice would be to fully immerse yourself in the program and take advantage of every opportunity to learn and grow. Embrace the challenges and actively participate in class discussions, group projects, and networking events. Additionally, make use of the resources and support available to you, such as the career services and alumni network. Lastly, stay curious, as the field of cybersecurity is constantly evolving, and a thirst for knowledge will enable you to adapt and thrive.

    I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my testimonial on Course Report. You have my permission to copy the verbiage from my Course Report review

    In-depth, intense but SO WORTH it

    Read more Read less of Kirti Henry's review
    From the application to the graduation process, I want to say that everyone in the back-end of this journey helped so much make this an amazing experience. I have registered for the UofT Data Analytics Bootcamp - the course was well laid out with Excel and VBA being the first step into the topic. Every week is a new topic, and looking back, 3/4 of the module I was going through the online material in advance before attending lectures. As simple as this was, it really helped me understand the course material and take my time with assignments and homework.
    An advice I would give to new students would be not to slack - trust me on that. If you miss a week or a day lecture, it will be hard to catch up (but not impossible!) and the ripple effect is severe. Make sure that before you apply, that you are conscious of the time commitment for the next 6 months, it is intense but the reward and what you learn through this course is so helpful - I keep saying, it's like school but you can apply everything you do readily in the workplace, and side projects you may have going on.
    The professor/instructor and the supporting TAs were amazing and always helpful and hands-on on the slack channel if you're running into issues with the material. There was also a great resource called AskBCS which is a 24/7 support that you can ask questions regarding the course material or if you're stuck on assignments. With e-learning, I think the course is fully rounded and well structured to provide the students with what they need. 
    And the best part also, you get to work with other amazing peeps for your capstone project at the end. Sharing of knowledge, making friends and who knows, a potential contact that can help our for a future opportunity!

    The best investment I've ever made

    I just completed the full stack coding Bootcamp focusing on MERN stack. I can absolutely say this has been the best investment I have made in a long time. Keeping in mind I have completed two Bachelor's degrees prior to enrolling and obtaining this certification, I truly found my passion for coding even more through being surrounded by such incredibly talented, and like-minded individuals. My experience was very interactive and engaging. We had a wonderful student success manager, Kyla Dhanraj, who always ensured student feedback is taken into account and that they have a voice in their boot camp experience. Our instructor, Sal Hobbi is an incredibly talented engineer. He made this short time we had an incredible experience full of enlightening moments. He ensured we truly gained the experience we need by treating like like junior engineers and ensuring we knew the fundamental technical concepts, collaborating with teams, version control, and most importantly, how to become better learners. Our teaching assistants, Brian Samuels, Mark Alfano, and Stephen Fudge each had their own strength and worked so well with each other, they truly understood what we needed in our Bootcamp since they've gone through this experience and know how to tackle issues we faced as a cohort. Lastly, how could I forget the incredible tutoring I received weekly to help me succeed thanks to my incredibly talented, and patient tutor, Scott Everett. I am incredibly grateful for this experience and can not wait to grow from this. Would recommend this life-altering experience to all the passionate folks out there.

    Having weekly tutor sessions was essential for someone like me with no prior coding experience. A lot if things I learned were so foreign, I really benefitted from having someone beside me at least for the beggining of each module to assure me of my direction. When I ran into syntax issues there was a 24/7 support service to handle syntax errors. These support workers were also incredibly helpful. I got so much out of the experience it was so worth it.

    Before enrolling in this program, I had just graduated from my Nutrition program and was working in healthcare. I quickly learned that it wasn't something I was truly passionate about, so I started to look for ways to transition into UX Design. What drew me in was the creativity and flexibility offered in this field. Ultimately, I came across UofT's UX Design BootCamp and enrolled! 

    My favorite aspect of the BootCamp was attending office hours for extra support on my design work. I loved getting feedback on my work and learning new ways to design. For me, building those connections was the highlight of this program. 

    My advice to prospective students is: "what you take out of this Bootcamp depends on what you put in. It's a blend of hard work, consistency, and luck!" Overall, this boot camp gave me the opportunity to meet and learn from UX designers, the foundation of UX Design, and sharpen my design skills even further.

    The overall quality of this Bootcamp is excellent as it delivers what it is supposed to. The best part about it is the quality of most TAs is very high and they are eager to help us when we encounter difficulties. Some areas for improvement in terms of the pace of the topics should be modified as the amount of time needed for learning CSS should not be the same as learning React.

    The University of Toronto Bootcamp can bring you a phenomenal experience. For me, taking UX/UI Design Bootcamp is a life decision. These six months is a life-changing moment. I appreciate that all instructors help me with their professional knowledge and the career coaching team with their sharing and encouragement. Without all of your help, I wouldn't be able to find my current job and start a new chapter in my life. I would recommend this opportunity to you guys, the chance to make your dream come true.

    When I first enrolled in this program to expand my skill set, I knew it would be intense, and although I had a basic understanding of what it entailed and the new skills I would learn, nothing prepared me for the journey I was about to embark on! I mean it in the most wonderful way possible when I say this. 

    I was impressed by the outstanding level of support and expertise from our instructor and TA's. Not only did they teach it to their students in a way that fosters deep understanding, but the curriculum itself was thoughtfully constructed to ensure the success of their students. I am now very confident in using my newfound skills in the workplace, and taking this boot camp has only served to enhance my marketability.

    At every stage of the learning path, I never felt alone. Our instructor, TA's and classmates became my cheerleaders and greatest supporters. Our Student Success Manager would frequently check in to prepare us for the next unit while ensuring we weren't falling behind and addressing any challenges we would encounter. 

    During and after completion of the boot camp, the Career Services Team stepped in to help me on the next leg of my journey, providing invaluable resources, advice and coaching.

    In conclusion, this boot camp is one of the best decisions I have ever made and would highly recommend it to anyone considering a career change or pivot.

    I decided to enrol in the bootcamp when my previous employer laid off the majority of its employees due to the ongoing pandemic. I had been with the company for almost 10 years and decided that it was time for a change. I took a chance and reinvented myself and pursued a new career path in web development.

    The bootcamp was an intense 6 months of learning but at the same time went by really fast. The instructors were very knowledgeable and my classmates were easy to interact with even though it was all online. There were many times where I felt overwhelmed with the fast pace of learning but it was good to know that you could seek help from tutors, teaching assistants and office hours.

    If you're considering enrolment into this program just be prepared to work hard and stay committed to your goal. If you lose focus and fall behind it can be a challenge to catch up. I recently graduated on November 24th and will be starting a new role as Node JS Developer within the upcoming week.

    I started with no experience but applied myself to this bootcamp and can now say with confidence that I'm a Web Developer!

    How/What led me to apply to the Boot Camp:
    I have a stable job and descent earnings at a company that I have been working for almost 3 years. When COVID hits, we started to working from home everyday and locked down at home since last year. Life became less fun and I wanted to learn a completely new skill set that will potential leads to new career opportunities even business is not doing great where I am working at. It will give me more career options and light up my life as I have something to look forward to besides my daily work.

    My experience / favorite aspect of the program:
    I enjoy learning online materials and attending the zoom classes with full preparation (including completing class activities ahead of time). Since this is a online class and is different than in-person class with less peer interactions, doing class activities in breakout room would be my favorite time, as we finally get to connect with other classmates during class.

    Any advice for other prospective students:
    If you're interested, well, come in prepare - as in, attend every class with preparation or complete required course modules ahead of time, knowing directions or answers in resolving class activities. This course is intensive for people who can make time every week from their busy schedule to study and complete assignments (especially when you don't have a coding background). Course fee may not be as affordable, yet the experience and knowledge you'll take away with you for life is priceless.

    I would just like to take a couple minutes to comment on my experience with the UofT Full-stack Coding Bootcamp.

    Let me start with some personal background.
    I originally went to school for Accounting, I had acquired a career in the finance/accounting sector of a steadily growing company. I worked really hard with a lot of late nights and burn out without being able to move forward. I was eventually let go and decided to take this opportunity to re-evaluate my life and career goals.

    After talking it through with friends/family, I decided to take the leap and see what would come of a total switch in career path. 

    First off, speaking with the admission advisors was exciting and they were immensely helpful.
    Coming into the course I was still very nervous. But ever since the first day, the instructional staff have been so great and helpful with making sure we stay on track and offering help through all hours of the day/night if needed. 

    Even though the boot-camp is very fast-paced, and can have some late nights, the support/help is so great.
    I'm very happy that I took this leap and I'm so excited to see where it will take me.

    I highly recommend

    My total experience with bootcamp has been exceptional, mind blowing and in fact I don't have any words to explain for how beneficial these programs are. As an immigrant to a country like Canada, these programs provide a stepping stone or an open door for career enhancements, for someone who is struggling to get a job, these courses will give you a competitive edge. The staff is thrilling, Kyla has been very helpful, Ali was my instructor and he knows how to get the crowd in learning state of mind, he knows how to pull everyone to the topic. Neil is another person who goes beyond his reach to help you. I will give this course a five ***** rating

    I have worked in sales and marketing for 25 years and thought I was done with further education.  But, in recent years I have felt disconnected and dependent on a younger generation to get tasks done.    I was hesitant about the time commitment and scared that I was a techno dinosaur - but the course is setup to be a supportive learning environment for everyone.   I feel the knowledge and skills I learned will keep me relevant and were worth the expense.  I have a new perspective on sales and marketing and a renewed enthusiasm for the workforce and continuing education.  I feel confident I can make strategic actionable plans for any business.  For new students, I encourage you to stay on top of your homework and truly use it as an opportunity to deep dive into new areas - you don't know what you don't know until you put yourself in a position to learn.

    I came with little to no knowledge and skills of the industry standard software being used today. After the 6 month course, I am confident in my abilities to explain cybersecurity, networks, offensive and defensive techniques, and how to harden a network against incidents and breaches. The price might be steep for some people but this pushed me more to learn the material, keeping patient with troubleshooting and utilizing the career services that are provided for me during and even after graduation. For those that are looking for a career change and looking for a more tech related field but have no experience, this should help you in knowing that the conceptual knowledge is a lot bigger part that needs to be understood compared to the technical side. As long you use logic with the knowledge you have, you will be able to execute the technical side of it because it will always be there.

    My experience attending the UX UI bootcamp at UofT was outstanding. The course intrustor Betsy Wang was super knowledgeable, but also she is passionate, exuberant about the subject matter, and has a lot of experience. In addition she demonstrates so much patience for all the students. In addition the TAs Farzad and Kabeer were just as knowledgable and patient. The course content is extremely thorough and very demanding. While this is called a Part Time program I feel it's not really that, more of a Full Time one. Anyone enrolled in the program and working full time and an graduate I have outmost respect for, but unfortunately that was not the case with some of the students that attended full time. Personally I was working part time, and even as that I found it a demanding course. At the same time I want to balance that by saying that I was exceptionally motivated to go 100% with the course, so I gave it my all, therefore I put in a lot more effort than the average student. Like everything in life, you get out what you put in. Also, taking this bootcamp during Covid gave me the emotional support to get through these difficult times. The course was optimized to be done virtually and succeeded well. In fact it prepped the students to collaborate virtually which is a necessity working remotely during and beyond Covid. In addition the Career Services part helped me get prepared for the job market. Overall, I highly recommend this bootcamp.

    When I joined the course, I was skeptical about content coverage and how well the curriculum content is designed to minimize the complexity of a stack of technologies. Generally, full-stack programs are fast-paced, grueling, and easy to lose traction. I am amazed at the course curriculum design with exercises, assignments, mini-projects, and group projects to constantly engage students and lead their paths to successful completion. I was very fortunate to experience a brand quality with the University of Toronto with complement student services, career development, webinars, and most importantly one-to-one coaching for making the right pitch. And last but not least to mention, the instructor and TA on their command on the subject is just woww! They made the program look much simpler and easier to absorb. I highly recommend the course as it is the best available source in the city!

    Hello,

    I am a happy alumnus who just finished the data Bootcamp from the University of Toronto (UofT). Before, talking about the Bootcamp, let me give a brief overview of myself. 
    I have worked in the Data Science field for about 2 years and knew python quite well. However, the full stack and databases and public cloud, etc were relatively new to me. The biggest challenge was I was a new immigrant to Canada who landed here just before COVID  travel restrictions rolled out. Because of my lack of Canadian experience and partially because of COVID, none of the job applications seemed to reach employers. Quite accidentally, after searching a while on google, I ended up enrolled in this course and it was one of the best decisions in my life. 
    First of all, let me talk about the instructor - Ahmad,  who is well versed in every topic, ensured all the students in the class were brought to speed (especially, those students lacking coding background). He also conducted extra classes to teach the industry level cloud technologies. All his efforts are shown at the end in terms of the improvement we all had. He is not only very knowledgeable but also a great instructor who ensured the success of all his students. 
    Instructional team Krutheeka and Dami helped us not only with the materials but also provided the best suggestions and advice on projects. 
    We had visiting-instructors too, Yahya and Piro, who also ensured high-quality teaching, delivery, and provided valuable guidance.  
    Our Student success manager Kyla ensured students succeed in each milestone. She reached out to me on multiple occasions to check with me if I am doing well and anything is required for the successful completion of the course.
    Our Career Director Nathalie  connected with me from time to time to provide me with valuable career advice and support 
    Without them, my journey would not have been complete.
    Taking about the outcomes,
    I have successfully made a competent GitHub profile and portfolio which helped to have a strong online presence.All my career materials were reviewed and stamped as employee competitive, that helped to reach recruiters effectively.And the best part is to land a job just before the completion of the course. 
    I am very happy about the course and the outcome and encourage anyone to take it up and give your 100%. 
    Thanks,Bincy

    I graduated beginning of this year from Full Stack Web Development -Flex Part Time, it was a great experience. I could not have done it without the assistance of extremely talented and supportive instructing team in which I would take this opportunity to thank Edward Apostal. Ed has extensive experience in this field which he would share to the class to give us the real insight into current work model. He as held sessions and real time demos which were a great learning and helped me a lot over what I could have learnt from textbooks. He was always available to clear the doubts and would go extra mile to help and make us all quite comfortable. 

    Even after the graduation he would constantly inform us about any job opportunities he is aware of and also check on my team as we were working on a project for Next Level competition. I am very glad that I had this opportunity to learn from such an experienced and skilled person. Thanks.

    I wanted to change my career path towards Data Visualizations and Science. Found this course in line with my needs which is also affiliated from University of Toronto.  I had a wonderful experience in learning the fundamentals of Data manipulations and analysis using different languages like python, javascript, R, pySpark, etc, and associated libraries with these programming languages. I also gained extensive knowledge of various cloud and local databases and whole ETL process to save your project data safely.  I really enjoyed working on the assignments for 2 reasons : first, they were based on real data and real problems and second, though they were based on the knowledge you gained in class, these assignments are structured so that you go out of your comfort zone and so research of your own. Which I think is very analysed approach to increase the confidence in students.  Though the course duration is only 6 months, but they teach you a lot of things within only few weeks time and only enough time will be given to you to go through the details of a topic. But the best part is you can ask as many questions as you can and get a solution to your queries through offline channels also. If I have to give an advise, I would say, soak all information when in class or doing your assignments. Its very hard to not to focus on just one topic, but if you do you may fall behind. Do remember, there'll be ample amount of time and support still waiting for you after you finish the graduation. They are only giving you a platform to perform and then sky is limit for you to achieve.

    I graduated from the Full-Stack Flex bootcamp as of April 2020 and deciding to enroll and complete this course was one of the best decisions I have made for my continued growth in my field.

    The bootcamp had fantastic instructors such as Edward Apostal. Mr. Apostal was an excellent instructor because he taught the technology as a whole; teaching you how the technology works down to it's nuances. This was critical for my learning experience, as it prepared me to better grasp how to handle connecting all the pieces of a full stack application. This also provided me with a more well rounded understanding of how to troubleshoot problems as they arise.

    The Boot Camp is a 24-week, part-time web development course. The Full-Stack curriculum includes HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, jQuery, Node.js, Responsive Design, Heroku, Git, User Authentication, React.js, MySQL and MongoDB, among other skill sets.

    During the program students have access to resources inside and outside the classroom.
    - Teachers and Ta's are available before and after class and will often reply to you outside of scheduled hours.
    - There are tutors available if you need targeted assistance with a specific topic.
    - The course is always taking feedback and providing support.

    Aside from the core course syllabus, the boot camp also offers other services during and after the course such as:
    -  Career-planning services, which will orient you towards your career goals. 
    -  1:1 coaching with experts on how to enter into the industry. 
    -  Professional advice for writing resumes and presenting your professional identity.

    Joined the Cybersecurity bootcamp back in May 2019. With no IT background but just thinking about career change, did not know what to expect. 6 months later, thanks to the tirelessly support from the instructor, teacher assistant and Learner Success Manager, I have much clear idea which direction next. 

    The couse has coverd 8 major Cybersecurity domains. My favourite part was Incident response and Governence regulation compliance. It gave us not only the current insight of the indutry but the complete aspect of Cybersecurity. I would only wish we could have learn more about the Cloud security.

    Overall I had great learning experice and for sure recommand anyone who is interested in Cybersecurity.
