UT Austin Boot Camps

I recently completed the Postgraduate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, and I’m incredibly grateful to Great Learning Institute for their exceptional support throughout this journey!


The course content was top-notch, with comprehensive video lectures that provided a deep dive into AI and ML concepts. The mentors were highly knowledgeable, offering insightful feedback and engaging discussions, especially with the depth of test cases they shared.


One of the standout features was their 24/7 technical support, which ensured that help was always just a message away, no matter what time it was. The program manager was always on top of things, proactively addressing questions and ensuring a smooth learning experience.


This program is truly designed for lifelong learners, blending rigorous academic concepts with practical applications. Thank you, Great Learning, for an enriching experience that has equipped me with valuable skills for the future!

Post Graduate Program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning: Business Applications is a fantastic course. The curriculum is well-structured, starting from the fundamentals. The classes were engaging, and I felt the same energy as I did in college.The weekly quizzes and end-of-module projects ensured that I grasped the concepts effectively. My initial program manager, Bhashy, was incredibly helpful. She was always available to assist me, especially when I needed extra time due to work commitments. She was also instrumental in helping me transition to a new cohort batch during an emergency. I found the program managers to be very accommodating and flexible.

After moving to the US and experienced a major life change, I was feeling stuck coming from a Psychology background and having to start again from scratch a new life including my carreer goals. I always loved Design and life took me to the path of having to create a website to offer a better way to teach online yoga classes (I am also a yoga teacher)  I made myself explore website creation through wordpress and other systems available out there. I was struggling a lot and decided to explore courses online, I didnt knew about UX/UI Dessign until one day doing research to find a design program I came across the UX/UI Boot Camp at UT Austin. It was a game changer to discover the existence of this field that combines the psychology part and foundations of the design taking in acount the user experience and making it a human centered approach, I applied and the admission team contacted me and help me with the whole process from A to Z. It was very helpful to have the assiatance and guidance from the beginning, I trusted completely and was never disppointed. My teachers are amazing and are coaching us with real world tools and projects that will help us to have more confidence and land a job afterwards. 
If you are thinking in enrolling a bootcamp this is it, don't think about it twice, trust the process and be sure that you will be supported by a top university and a great team.

I absolutely loved the Digital Marketing Bootcamp course. The instructor was fantastic - very knowledgeable and able to make every topic exciting and easy to understand. The TAs were great as well, and the three of them together created an amazing experience for us. While the class was a very large time commitment (especially with a full-time job), I looked forward to every meeting and had a blast working with my classmates and creating all kinds of different materials that can be added to my portfolio. I had been working in marketing prior to this class, and I still am, but after finishing the boot camp, I feel much more comfortable with my skills and confident in my abilities to be a successful marketing professional. Thank you!

My degree is in Economics and my first job out of school was in NYC at a large financial institution. It was a great first job but I learned that I would thrive more in a startup culture at that time so I called my friend who was the CEO and Founder of Super Coffee and we met for coffee one morning. I told him I wanted to do what he was doing. Build something from the ground up. He thought I would be a great fit in Food & Beverage and two weeks later he offered me a job, which was to build an ecommerce Wholesale Program.

In this role, I loved identifying who my target audience was, pitching the products, gathering feedback, negotiating pricing and even some exclusive distribution agreements. In 6 months, we had over 500 SMB customers and brand partnerships with Barry's Bootcamp, Solidcore, & SoulCycle.

In March, 2020 our company signed a Master Distribution Agreement with Anheuser Busch InBev and I was promoted to Director of Brand Operations. My job was to serve as the singular interface between senior leadership at both companies. It was in this role that I discovered my passion for executing  start-to-end project plans that align with company priorities and synergize cross functional teams, key stakeholders, and workflows. After two wildly successful years, we accomplished the mission and fully integrated with AB InBev's systems, processes, and tech platforms and partnered with over 400 distributors nationwide selling over $100M in Super Coffee.

Around February 2022, I was in Pennsylvania visiting family and my dad and I were eating breakfast together. He's been programming for 40 years and it got me thinking. Why hadn't I ever thought to try? Genetically, maybe I'd be good?! The next morning, I was targeted with an ad on Twitter for UT Austin's Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp so I thought, what the hell, and applied. Sure enough, I was soon accepted and was pressed with a decision to make. After having conversations with my family and girlfriend, I decided to take the leap so I resigned from my job and enrolled.

We are just over the halfway point of the bootcamp and I can confidently say it was the right decision. This experience has been such a blessing in my life! It has given me the career clarity I needed. I intend on blending my experience as an enthusiastic and effective Project Manager with my blooming technical skillset to pivot into a Product Management position!

Overall, I've had such a positive experience with The Coding Boot Camp at UT Austin. Our instructor is wicked smart and breaks complicated concepts down in a way that allows us to internalize them easier. The rest of the instructional staff is top notch as well; and last but certainly not least, our Student Success Manager, who is always there for support! I'd be remiss if I didn't mention my amazing tutor, who has played a huge role in my development as well.

My favorite aspect about the program is unequivocally my cohort. We have such a diverse, talented, kind, and fun group. I am super grateful for you all for organizing study groups to iron down tougher concepts, sending funny memes in Slack and Discord channels, and always being there to help.

Advice I would give to other prospective students to ensure success:

• Attend office hours regularly
• Use the maximum number of tutoring sessions allowed
• Don't be afraid to speak up and ask questions
• Be compassionate with yourself and your classmates
• Track the amount of time you put in studying, researching, or doing homework outside of class. It motivates you to put in more time when you can see your performance visually.
• Get started on the Career Services milestones early. At a minimum, ensure your LinkedIn profile and resume are optimized by the end of the bootcamp so you can apply to jobs immediately.
• Don't be afraid to fail. This bootcamp isn't easy but with a positive, growth mindset, you can not only pass but excel!

This is an excellent boot camp to help improve and learn the basic skills needed to start a career in data science. Many useful topics are covered and the instructor does a great job going over the material in class. It is important that you keep up with the work, pay attention and participate (when possible) in class, and take advantage of the office hours for asking questions or getting work done. This is how you will make the most out of the course. Be sure to take advantage of career services as well. There is a career materials advisor who helps you with your resume and online presence for future employers and there are events you can attend to help with interview prep, networking and much more. 

I attended a 6 month cybersecurity bootcamp course offered by UT Austin. The instructor and the TA's were very helpful and guided us throughout the course. It is a challenging course but the instructor was encouraging and very patient in explaining the concepts in an understandable manner. They teach us lot of tools and concepts which makes it more interesting in every class. I never missed a single class since I was eager to learn all the tools. Overall it was an amazing experience and I learnt a lot during the duration of the course. 

This boot camp has been incredible, the skills and connections that I have been able to make have already begun to shine in my career.

I have been working as a software developer for 5 years, and so was already "in" the coding world, but I have been interested in expanding my career opportunities. I took this program specifically to build my foundation, as well as gain some new skills in SQL, data ETL, machine learning, and get more exposure to visualization tools like Tableau and Plotly. The choice to enroll in this class is already paying dividends as I was able to expand my role at my current company to include more data analysis.

The bootcamp moves pretty quickly, and having new projects every week is a tough schedule to stick to, but the volume of new tools, new languages, and increase in fundamentals that I gained in this class have made it all very worth the time investment. I particularly enjoyed the projects that centered in SQL, data cleaning, ETL, and machine learning. These are aspects of coding that I have always wanted to take a larger part in at my job, but felt unequipped for, but after this class, I have already begun taking on some of these sort of projects and been "wowing" my supervisors with the results.

I would recommend that anyone who is looking to get into data analytics, data visualization careers, or is just looking to strengthen their fundamentals in their career, to take this course. It moves at break neck speed at times, but the Instructors and TAs were always available to help, and offered great support and guidance. Working with the other students, and having study hours and test reviews in Slack and Discord were also very helpful.

My UT Austin coding boot camp experience learning under Leah Nelson was one of the most rewarding yet challenging things I have ever done. Full time is as scary as it sounds but it really is a zero to hero experience with some of the best help you could have. Think of it as storming the beach of Normandy but it takes 3 months, I mean, I think the cost of freedom is worth it and so is your certification! I love this course because teamwork and developing connections is a MUST. Almost more important than the curriculum I would argue, you are put in situations where you must ask for help and band together which is an invaluable lesson. A quote I love to summarize this is from Marcus Aurelius saying, “Don’t be ashamed to need help. Like a soldier storming a wall, you have a mission to accomplish. And if you’ve been wounded and you need a comrade to pull you up? So what?”. This full time boot camp will break you in the best ways and you will learn much more than just how to be a full stack developer. Highly recommend.

Before boot camp, I had no experience coding at all. What lead me to apply was, let's be real here the money. I didn't know what to expect, especially since I had chosen to take the full-time course. The first two weeks went pretty well. When week 3 came along, I started freaking out. I felt like things were going way too fast, a major case of impostor syndrome, and just feeling completely overwhelmed. If it were not for the group of amazing people that had taken this course with me and the greatest instructor ever Leah Daniels Nelson, I would not have made it through this boot camp. If you decide to take on this challenge, ask questions, make friends, take advantage of your resources. You'll get mad, but that's a part of learning. Don't doubt yourself, and you may not completely understand something at first, and that's okay. It will be great.
