In-depth, intense but SO WORTH it
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.

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!Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

The best investment I've ever made

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.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

Well structured learning experience
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.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

Gaining a whole new skillset
When the pandemic hit, I found myself taking on additional tech tasks in every aspect of life. After dabbling in online courses, I decided to step it up and look for a bootcamp. I chose the UofT SCS Coding Boot Camp because of the program quality, affordability, and flexible part-time schedule.

I chose the UofT SCS Coding Boot Camp because of the program quality, affordability, and flexible part-time schedule.
As a professional musician coming from a non-technical background, almost everything in the course has been new to me. I appreciate the chance to learn from our instructor and TA's. They are all very knowledgeable and create an environment in which students are encouraged to ask questions. The group projects are a highlight of the program because they provide value opportunities to collaborate online with others. In short, I never thought I could learn so much in only a few months.
Learning to code requires a lot of energy and time – much like practicing a musical instrument. The amount of new information presented is at times overwhelming. I advise using all of the tutoring resources the program offers, getting involved in a study group, and communicating regularly with friends and family who will cheer you up when you need some extra support.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

UX UI Design Bootcamp
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.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

Coding/Full Stack Development Bootcamp
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.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

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.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

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!Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps
