I enter scare of doing a Bootcamp instead of an University because of the time, that was only 15 weeks. I think WBS coding school is the right one that I got in. I will review one by one the points that I like and why.
Instructors: Our instructor Maria Piquero was amazing she has the patience, the knowledge and everything that is need it so you can understand and apply what its been taught. I have 0 complains tp her she is amazing how instructors and teacher should be in any place.
Online: There is not a stopper at all for this Bootcamp to teach you online and improve, it is crazy how we all started and we ended up as professionals.
Lessons: It is super dynamic and not boring at all, really well thought the design of the classes to make us learn with workshop so we can apply what was teach on the lesson.
On campus: This is the highlight among all of it. All the people is nice, the stuff, the students, instructors and more. It is a priceless experience to go on campus so if you consider to take it, please go!, it is worth it. Good accommodations for you to stay, nice food with even chefs and with a beautiful view of a river in Berlin. You can not ask for more.
Price: The price is fair for all that you got, even when you stay on campus it is cheaper that staying in a hotel in Berlin
Work search help: They prepare you with your LinkedIn, how to do an interview, how to behave in job interviews, how to post to job and more. This part was the most scare I was of the Bootcamp but if you use every tool you definitely will get a job
So overall there is not negative stuff to say, this is a good school for you to get into and I hope this helps. -

Yes, it's a MUST! This experience has been incredibly rewarding in every possible sense. If anyone is thinking about joining a bootcamp, I have to say WBS is indeed the place to be. Besides having really awesome and well-prepared instructors, the entire staff is lovely and prioritizes making you feel like a part of a community filled with experienced individuals who show authentic interest in your improvement.
Furthermore, at the end of your adventure, you get to share the beautiful campus with your colleagues, where you'll most likely make amazing friends who will remain by your side as you begin your journey in the field you choose.
So, if you come across this review again... it's a MUST! -

I started this bootcamp with little to no programming experience and finished the bootcamp feeling comfortable applying for a Data Science position. Coming from a background in geology, mineral exploration and mineral beneficiation, I could also apply my previous experience for the final project called Mining for the future. If someone is looking into a Data Science bootcamp, I would highly recommend WBS coding school. -

The classes were super cool because they taught us important stuff without making it boring. Vyas, our instructor was totally amazing! He explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. We got to work on real-life projects and few dummy websites, which was so much fun and helped us learn a lot. The best part was the friendly atmosphere – everyone was supportive, and the staff was always there to help us out. Now, I feel like a marketing analytics pro! I totally recommend this place to anyone who wants to boost their career! -

I've just finished the Full Stack Web and App Development Bootcamp.
The materials are very well designed, the classes are very well structured and the instructors and the whole community are just lovely, helpful and patient.
I managed to learn how to work with MERN Stack from scratch and it just feels great!
It is a challenging experience, but it is absolutely worth it!
The two final weeks at the Campus in Berlin where so crazy good times.
I will never forget the past 17 weeks and I can just encourage everyone to sign in for this course!

The WBS Coding School Full-Stack Web- & App-Development Bootcamp is a 17-week intensive and comprehensive learning experience, that begins with HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript fundamentals and concludes with complex NoSQL queries and JWT-User-Authentification. Not only are theoretical fundamentals taught, but actual engaging group projects train remote teamwork and collaborating via git/github. But not only is sound knowledge imparted, there is also a lively community and relatable and supportive instructors. Everything concludes in a grande finale at Berlin Campus, where the final projects are written, presented and celebrated. -

The campus experience was awesome and I loved the vegetarian meals! I can very much recommend this bootcamp. Although it was challenging I think it was also very rewarding. The only suggestion I have is that the career support could have closer connection to employers that are looking to hire. That would have been very beneficial to my batch. -

I recently completed the Marketing Analytics boot camp at WBS coding School and had a positive experience despite the program's intensity. Our instructors, Julia Gronau and Vyas Adithya, provided consistent support and expert knowledge. Despite challenges such as a mid-program instructor change and concerns about video lectures' effectiveness, our feedback was taken seriously, and improvements were made. The sense of community among like-minded peers and support from Madeleine Sys during challenging times were invaluable.Maddie of WBS CODING SCHOOL

I recently attended WBS coding school, and it was an incredible experience for me. The curriculum is well-developed, allowing students to gradually immerse themselves in the domain of coding. What I found particularly effective was the repetitive usage of tools that allowed me to learn through action.
One of the most valuable aspects of the program was the real-life projects that allowed me to apply my creativity while dealing with real problems. This helped me to see the importance of what I was learning and prepared me not only technically but also mentally for the working environment. I also appreciated the 24/7 teachers and community support that were always there to help me out whenever I had a question or concern. Working in small groups also helped me to develop my ability to work in a team.
The school provides job support through career workshops, which is great for transitioning into the workforce. However, I would have appreciated having some psychology support as well, as the intensity and workload were sometimes overwhelming. Additionally, tangible job support such as internships in partner companies would have been a great addition to the program.
Overall, my experience at WBS coding school was fantastic. I felt right at home thanks to the manager, Miguel, and the rest of the awesome WBS team, including Patrick Rothe and chef Duschko. I felt like a valuable part of the WBS community, and I would highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn coding in a supportive and effective environment. -

15 weeks of expansion!
Read more Read less of Yanish Veerahoo's review
A life-changing experience it has been, reminding me of how steep my learning curve can be and how much I can actually accomplish in a short amount of time.
The push and motivation not only came from the carefully-picked material that is taught and the amount of it, but also from the structure of the course and the environment it was being taught in.
The bootcamp definitely exceeded all expectations I had. It was challenging, but the goal never seemed unachievable. It re-shaped my thinking, making me more solution-oriented and gave me belief that with the right mindset anything can be achieved. The pace can be quite intense at times, but the community one becomes part of when joining WBS Coding School makes sure that it never becomes overwhelming. The new concepts I was learning every day sure kept me on my toes and kept pulling me back for more. I could see how much effort has been put in designing the course, which is constantly being improved through student feedback.
I picked this Data Science bootcamp in large part because it is project-oriented and not exam-oriented. One really gets a feel of what it would be like to work in the industry and by the end feel prepared to enter the market, with a portfolio of diverse projects to show for.
The instructors were friendly, supportive, helpful, dedicated, driven, knowledgeable and professional. The combined work of the instructors and all other staff, such as Community Services and Career Services, created a safe, inclusive and reliable atmosphere where one could grow intellectually and emotionally. Communication was always easy, fast and friendly.
The hybrid nature of the bootcamp also impressed me. The first 12 weeks were online, whereby we had contact time with our instructors every single day. At no point did I feel alone in front of my computer. The last 3 weeks, which is the project phase, can be done on campus in Berlin if one chooses to. Meaningful relationships built with my classmates and instructor were definitely solidified during these 3 weeks we spent in person together.
I only have good things to say about my time at WBS Coding School and would highly recommend this bootcamp, which I wish didn't end after 15 weeks. -

I am pretty happy with the whole experience, the content of the course was pure treasure, our instructor was able to explain in simple terms the most complicated concept and the campus life was fantastic. helpful staff, nice food, nice location.
One think that I did not like though was the policy of 2 education vouchers for the final project and the campus . Since the final project and on-campus learning is the most important part of the course, they should have found a way to include both parts in the first voucher instead of requiring unemployed people to pay 800 euros up front and then try to reclaim from AfA the 650 euros.Janina Fisser of WBS CODING SCHOOL

Dear Angelos,
we thank you very much for your great feedback and are happy that you enjoyed the course, our team, and the time on Campus so much.
However, it is a pity that you got the wrong impression regarding Campus financing.
You don't need two vouchers, just one for the course.
Optionally, you can apply to the Employment Agency to have the costs for the Campus phase (room and board away from home) covered and reimbursed afterward.
A voucher cannot cover costs for accommodation and meals away from home, this is a legal requirement (§86 SGB III) and cannot be influenced by us.
It is a voluntary benefit from the agency, but it may be that they do not cover these costs.
Our team supports all participants in getting this additional funding and recommends discussing the costs for the optional Campus phase with their advisor at the Employment Agency in the first interview. (more than 12 weeks before the course starts). If reimbursement is freely given, you will receive an amount per day for room and board that exceeds our Campus cost from the Employment Agency.
Thus, in this case, no participant with an educational voucher pays more for the Campus than they receive per day.
Please contact our team to clarify what went wrong for you. We are happy to advise you. -

I completed 15 week boot camp in digital product design with WBS school.
This course is so well structured, that it is so apt for even people who are switching careers.
There are exercises, classes and projects are planned in such a way that it makes sense as we grow in the process.
I have definitely seen immense progress in my work from non-designer to Product designer.
This course is crafted so amazing from scratch lessons to practice sessions to final presentations. Not only this, the course helps in building our soft skills, Resumes, Linked profiles, and even preparing for interviews.
On top of it our instructors are so good and supportive. Their feedback session are so effective in improving. I cannot thank enough to all the people of WBS school who are helping us learn and shape our career.
My favorite part of this bootcamp was meeting an amazing group of people to work with and form a wonderful bond.

Intense Learning, Awesome Team

WBS delivered on what it promised. The 15 weeks gave me an intense learning curve through Data Science, starting from major Python libraries like pandas and scikit-learn, through Jupyter notebooks, database handling via SQL and machine learning techniques such as clustering, classification and regressions, a wide spectrum was covered.
The material was very well put together. The LMS was well structured and some lessons were borrowed from Codecademy Pro as well as LinkedIn. The teaching team handled feedback well in the spirit of continuous improvement.
The teaching of data science was complemented with various sessions on job search, writing resumes and applications, building up your profile on LinkedIn and how to interview with prospective employers.
The pace of the course was challenging at the beginning, after all it is a bootcamp. However, there were lots of well detailed instructions to catch up. I liked it a lot that there were optional challenges and material to discover for self studies. That way every participant could build up from their already existing knowledge. Over time expectations shifted to mostly figure things out by yourself. This left me with a solid sense of what I can now do on my own. The "learning by doing" culminated in a 3 week final project (optionally on campus). My final project was "Generating a topical map for a niche website." I ended up with a solid result, which I'll test on a real website in the coming months.
The best part of the bootcamp was our teaching staff. Our lead teacher treated us as adults and allowed us to push as hard as we could into any direction. He patiently helped us through problems of understanding and went the extra mile to research issues he had not seen before. At the same time he fostered a lot of collaboration and team spirit.
There were no negatives for me along the way. I wish I could extend the camp for another 4 weeks.
If you are looking for hands-on training in data science and have 15 weeks of time, I can highly recommend the WBS bootcamp. -

most effective way of learning data science
Read more Read less of Rene Markovits Hoopii's review
Right in front I want to say something on my overall experience: I'm so happy I chose WBS Coding School to help me make the transition in the field of data. Not once during this heavy load bootcamp I had the feeling to be in the wrong place or that this was not what I wanted, quite the opposite. I felt challenged and at the same time empowered and self-confident about all the new stuff we were learning and applying and I really was looking forward to (almost ) every learning session we had. And this whole experience was a result of all the smaller parts that contributed to this experience. The curriculum and its structure, learning resources, projects and its difficulty. Our instructor/teacher and the teaching style. The classmates and the interaction, the learning athmosphere. The staff. The career support.
Curriculum and teaching approach: The project-based and hands-on teaching method is very good and I think the only way to deliver all the skills and techniques and concepts in a feasible and time effective way. I was always surprised how much we were able to do in a comparable short time frame of some weeks, like putting together a machine learning model for the first time, without understanding every detail of it but not without having a good understanding of the overall concepts. I found the learning material to be very very good. I don't have the comparison with other bootcamps, but I really think that the people who put together the course really understand what it needs to learn something new in a fast and effective way without getting stuck in details. One of the main reasons why this bootcamp was such a success for me, was, that it prestructured my learning roadmap. I didn't have to care about what I have to learn in which order and how deep my knowledge have to be in Python, in SQL, or which projects I should conduct. They did this already for me. And they really do a great job.
Teacher/Instructor and learning athmosphere: I can't talk for all of the instructors but I believe that the school favours instructors/teachers that have a thrill for teaching and learning and show dedication for their subject. What really contributed to a good learning athmosphere in all of our sessions we took together as a learning group was, that nobody wanted to show off or something like that. Everybody wanted to learn something and ask questions, everybody was very supportive in helping each other, everybody respected each other and our instructor assisted all of this asking, being curious and supportive behavior. Learning in a group can be both, really inspiring and comforting, but also annoying sometimes. For me it was definitely both.
The level of difficulty: This is hard to say, actually. I did make the experience that those students that don't have any background in data or coding have to put in more effort than students with some preknowledge. Some of us really got pushed to their personal limits. But nobody got lost completely because our instructor really showed some good patience in revising, explaining again and again. And there is help if you need:
Staff and (Career)Support: Even though I personally didn't have to make use of it a lot, I can say for sure that a lot of the energy in this school goes into forming a supporting net for all the students. You won't only have your instructor to ask questions, they also have junior instructors, mentors and several channels in the chat where you can discuss things and ask questions. And everybody is really eager to help. The sruples to ask for help if you need it are extremely low. If you ever get overstressed there are people who talk to you in person and take their time, go through the code with again etc. Also the Career Service is really a big asset of this School. They got a Career Program you can work through and get personal feedback on CV, LinkedIn Profile and Cover Letter. Also you get get in touch with the Career Support in personal. The information and feedback I got was very very helpful for me.
Downsides:
- In the part-time course there is no individual final project you can work on your own or in a team for some weeks like in the full-time course. Your portfolio at the end of the bootcamp consists of all the projects you did during the bootcamp. Those are prescribed by the curriculum though and leave not so much room for individual experimentation I would say.
- Also no stay at the campus is provided for the part-time course. Which makes sense because the reason why people chose part-time courses are also the reasons because they can't just go to Berlin for three weeks in a row. But still, I got the feeling that we missed something there, because the campus looks great, getting to know all the classmates in person would and meeting the staff would also have been great.
- Group work when no need for it: In a bootcamp there is limited time for everything. In my opinion the focus of a bootcamp cannot be to teach and learn working in groups. I know that this is an important skill. But I shouldn't have to learn it in the bootcamp, because the time is limited. When group works helps to finish a complex project in a limited time than yes, go for it. But I definitely feel that we lost a lot of time talking through the same things over and over again. Sometimes It felt like all the bad group work I've done at school. But I don't think that this reflects all of the data science bootcamps. I think this was a special case of our group and my personal perspective on it. Because not everybody thought like that.
- One or maybe two of the sections we worked through seemed to be still work in progress. The learning notebooks were not aligned with the other learning material on the learning platform and not just once there was some confusion about the instructions on the learning platfrorm. -

It is an unprecedented experience suddenly waking up in the dense and dark jungle of programming without knowing where to start, why and where to end!but after many downs and ups, the path shines in bright light and everything becomes clear and distinct. Everything suddenly makes sense. It was theCredit to the knowledgeable and experienced instructors with their 24/7 support.The community Manager with his charismatic and encouraging manner, made me look forward to the next challenge every morning, the various departments,with their pleasant intrusiveness, soon saw us in secure employment. -

WBS Coding School is an amazing learning environment delivering a top-notch educational experience
Read more Read less of Onur E.'s review
I attended the Web Development Bootcamp from May to September, and I learned much more than coding during 15 weeks. My experience at WBS Coding School was extremely positive. I was very impressed with Instructors knowledge, with their way of teaching and how the course was correctly structured and timely measured.
After working in construction management for 3 years, I decided to do something that I always wanted to do. I felt in need of guidance throughout the process. Thankfully, my advisor at the Federal Employment Agency pointed WBS Coding School to me. I spent some time researching before I made my school choice. One of the biggest reasons I chose WBS was its duration. While the other bootcamps were about 9 weeks, in WBS this was 15 weeks with the campus phase in Berlin for the last 3 weeks to finish your final project. During your time on campus, WBS allows you to focus solely on your final project. A room of your own, great workspace, 3 meals a day, rest, and entertainment areas, etc.
It started 2 weeks before with the Primer period, which was the preparatory stage before the Bootcamp. During those 2 weeks I had the chance to learn the basic principles of the topic. I saw the benefit of this many times during Bootcamp. Lessons are online from 09:00 to 18:00 and thanks to experienced instructors very effective. Also, there are one-on-one lessons on every Wednesdays with your lead instructor. Also, the Jr. Instructors are always ready to help with any problem. In these private lessons, I had the opportunity to repeat the subjects that I was stuck on or had difficulty understanding. Another good thing was that we had weekly group projects to improve our coding and collaboration skills. At the end of each week, we had to present our projects. Apart from WBS Coding School’s learning platform, which is already very rich and correctly structured, they provided me with a pro account on Codecademy and LinkedIn learning. Furthermore, the Career Support Team’s meetings and feedback were very special.
The most enjoyable part of this journey was for me to meet these amazing people. I had the chance of having amazing classmates from different cultural and academic backgrounds. We did not only support each other, but also formed a very good friendship going forward!

Joining the "Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp" was one of the best decisions i ever made, because it totally exceeded my expectations.
WBS Coding School helped me learn Web-Development from scratch without any prior knowledge. The team does not just run through their subject matter but instead is really interested and helpful in your personal success.I am grateful that I found competent and patient teachers who were always fully motivated to teach me everything that is necessary to be a full-stack web and app developer. Who always took care of questions and never got tired of explaining things again. Although I struggled at times, I had a fantastic 15 weeks journey from zero to hero with a super nice and supportive team from the WBS Coding School. If you are thinking about joining this course, think no further! I can 100 % recommend it. -

I remember sinking quite some time into carefully choosing the place i would want to learn coding at until a friend of mine pointed me towards the WBS, and i am very happy that he did. In this course (Full-time Web & App Dev.) i found motivated Teachers, competent Guides and a well thought out Concept to help me learn Web-Development from scratch without any prior knowledge. The WBS-Team does not just run strictly through their program but instead is very interested in your personal success which i experienced in 1-on-1 Sessions with Teachers and the Career-service. 15 Weeks from scratch to the confidence to build Web-Applications as part of a team or alone - if that is what you are looking for, you will struggle to find a better and more welcoming place! -

Awesome time
The 15 weeks full-stack web and app developer bootcamp in German was such an awesome time. It started with the great onboarding process and 'ended' with a superb graduation party. Actually, it did not finally end because it was so amazing I signed up to the volunteer mentorship program.
I found a new job during the course and will work as a junior software developer in a big company. -
