My Honest Review of The Skillians Academy (February 2024 Batch)

This review is based on my personal experience at The Skillians Academy. No training institute is perfect, so I’m sharing this with an open and unbiased mindset.I’m not labeling anything as a “pro” or “con”, because what works well for one person might not work for another. I’ll mainly highlight points you may not easily find on their website. For basic details, their official website is the best source.1. Learning Environment

• The learning pace is fast.
• Foundational concepts are covered properly, but you must stay consistent.
• For each topic:
  • Around 65–80% is taught in class
  • The remaining 20–35% is expected to be learned through assignments
    
    

2. Assignments & Teaching Associates (TAs)

• Assignments play a major role in learning.
• If you get stuck, you can contact a Teaching Associate (TA).
• TAs are:
  • Senior students or program graduates
  • Meant to guide, not give direct answers
• They provide hints or direction, not solutions.
• Each TA has a different mentoring style.
• TA allocation is random.
  
  

3. Course Coverage

• Equal importance is given to:
  • Web Development / Data Science (Pay After Placement program)
  • Data Structures & Algorithms (DSA)
• You cannot ignore DSA even if you are more interested in development.

4. Trainers & Teaching Style

• Trainer quality is consistent in some topics and inconsistent in some.
• Some trainers explain concepts very well.
• Others know the subject but struggle with clear explanations.
• Questions are allowed, but if clarity is lacking:
  • Self-learning becomes necessary
• You cannot change trainers.
• You may switch batches, but:
  • You cannot drop out midway once enrolled.
    
    

5. Placement Eligibility Criteria

• Placement eligibility starts only after becoming Skillians Accredited.
• To get accredited, you must clear:
  • All units
  • Assignments
  • Projects
  • Mock interviews
• Once eligible:
  • You must attend at least 2 interviews per week
    
    

6. Placement Rules & Relocation

• If you clear an interview:
  • You are expected to join the company
  • Relocation is mandatory if required (unless remote)
• If you refuse to join after clearing an interview:
  • Your ISA gets activated
• In my case:
  • I was placed through Skillians
  • I relocated as required
    
    

7. CTC & Salary Reality

• Minimum guaranteed CTC: ₹8 LPA
• My offer:
  • ₹8.1 LPA total
  • ₹7 LPA fixed
  • ₹1.1 LPA variable/bonus
    
    

8. ISA & Loan Breakdown (Very Important)The ISA details on the website can be confusing, so here’s a simple example:If your CTC is ₹8 LPA:

• Monthly salary: ~₹66,666
• Take-home: ~₹62,000–66,000

ISA Details:

• ISA amount: ₹1,00,000
• GST (18%): ₹18,000
• Total repayment: ₹1,18,000
• Duration: 12 months
• Monthly EMI: ~₹9,880

Effective take-home after EMI:

• ₹66,000 – ₹9,880 ≈ ₹54,600 per month
  
  
  

9. Job Loss & EMI Risks

• If you lose your job:
  • EMI does not pause automatically you will have to request them 
• You must inform Skillians and request temporary support.
• You cannot claim tax deductions.
  
  
  

10. Final Thoughts

• Think carefully before joining Skillians or any ISA-based program.
• Training and placement support exist.
• But the entire repayment responsibility is on you.
• Do not rely only on the institute.
  
  

11. Recommended Self-Preparation Resources

• Skill Learning: YouTube, FreeCodeCamp, Udemy
• Problem-Solving: HackerRank, LeetCode
• Job Search: LinkedIn, AngelList, CutShort, Indeed
• Projects: GitHub

Awesome Program, Great People

Byte Academy helped me transition from Video Producer to Software Developer in a matter of months. The coursework can be demanding (I spent a lot of time outside of school) but you get what you put in. The teaching staff is excellent, caring, and overall a great group of people that geniuinely care about your interests. 

Coming from a non-coding background, I was concerned about my abiltiy to pick up the coursework but Byte's circulum is well structured and the staff is so incredibly supportive. I truly felt like I was joining a family and not a bootcamp. 

There is only so much time I had during my time at Byte, but I am amazed at how much I was able to pick up. I would highly reccommend to anyone who is interested in learning python.

A Wonderful Learning Experience

My learning experience with Quickstart has been wonderful. My local university helped me to enroll and learn more about what the program/school offered. When I began, my instructor helped me to download all of the necessary software tools correctly as well as Quickstart employees reaching out to make sure that I had all of my questions answered. While the curriculum is challenging, everything is displayed on the student Dashboard where students have access to everything they need. I appreciate how the subjects are well thought out, are evenly paced, and allow the students to follow along with the video instructor's software exercises. I also truly enjoyed having my Zoom class instructor, Dr. Farnaz Towhidi! She was absolutely amazing! She is extremely patient, kind, and takes time for all students to ask questions as well as make sure their computer system is working properly when doing class software hands-on examples. She teaches each subject thoroughly, and genuinely cares that each student understands the material. I also appreciate all of the career resources that Quickstart offers. Each one has been instrumental in changing the way I job search and apply for these career opportunities. If you or someone you know is considering a career in technology (the school offers multiple field specialities), I highly recommend staring with Quickstart. I didn't have any form of a software engineering or technology experience, but they make it so easy and simple for anyone to come and learn from any career background.

I always have been interested in programing but never knew where to begin. The coding bootcamp course is a great place to start that journey as a developer, the course is very fun and informative. There is an online platform to learn from during the course which is great for people, like me, who enjoy learning in their own speed. Currenty I'm working as a developer and the skills I needed to get the job I got from the course. Obviously the course is no magic, there are some people who expect to automaticlly get jobs with crazy salaries just because they did the course, the course is an amazing helping tool but if you wont try hard no course whould help you.

Bootcamp like no other

Hello review seeker, I just finished DevLeague a couple weeks ago… be prepared for a long but genuine review of Hawaii’s only coding bootcamp. Let me also preface this review by stating that other than knowing a bit of HTML / CSS, I have absolutely no coding knowledge or experience.

Before enrolling myself in their immersive full-time program, like you and many others… I did my research and tried to find any review or resource I could get my hands on about this school. When I stumbled upon CourseReport and saw all their 5 star reviews, the cynic in me couldn’t believe this boot camp (let alone one all the way in Hawaii) could achieve so many positive reviews, so naturally I assumed most were fake.  It wasn’t until I personally met (or saw around school)  a lot of these “rando” names that were being used on CourseReport, did in fact belong to actual people and these are genuine reviews from real DevLeague alumni.

Taking the plunge with DevLeague as my sidekick was a huge risk for me as I was working full-time in a non-tech job but one of the major deciding factors in choosing this coding bootcamp was the fact that I would be able to make this big career switch in just a few short months and I didn’t have to step foot out of Hawaii.

Being the premature baby dev that I was with no coding background, I enrolled in their JavaScript prep course so I could gain enough knowledge to submit my coding challenge entry. Vic was our main instructor during the 4-week prep course and he was (and still remains) one of my favorite people I’ve met through DevLeague. It’s hard to say *favorite* because honestly,  pretty much everyone at DevLeague was awesome and I’m really glad to be a part of this community.

I remember when I first started attending prep class, I was really shocked (but impressed) with the sense of support and community from everyone at DL.  Previous graduates would come back to help out or various alumni popped in to give some advice, even students from other classes would stop by to see how we were doing. Needless to say, I really felt the support system there and it’s obvious it trickled down from the top.

I wouldn’t be sitting here today, a DL graduate, if it weren’t for the help and support from Russel and Jason. I can’t count how many emails were passed between Russel and I before I started DevLeague. He was incredibly responsive and resourceful especially when I was going through the process to apply for scholarship, which I was generously awarded. I’m truly grateful for the opportunity they’ve given me.

It’s clearly impossible for me to write a shorter review, especially on something that has had such a big impact, but I’ll try to summarize my experience of the actual bootcamp program:

If you’re looking at the full-time program of 11 hour days, 6 days a week… it seems long, yes, but honestly it passes by pretty quickly especially since you’re jamming on code 70% of the time. My other classmates have the same view as me in this regard.

It’s extremely challenging. I felt so overloaded with information at times that I barely felt like I actually retained anything. That led to me asking myself “Did I make the right decision going through this program?” or “Maybe I’m not meant to be a developer?”

In the beginning, I felt like nothing made sense and it wasn’t until towards the tail end of bootcamp that the pieces started coming together to form a whole picture.

The curriculum is well thought out, projects on point for the topic and I enjoyed the humor in the slideshows. The readme docs are at times confusing (probably getting us used to reading real docs, lol) and some needed updates.

In the end, I wholeheartedly join in and agree with the others in saying “It was the best decision I made” career-wise and if you’re on fence about taking the course or want to ask me for more details about my experience, I’ll be more than happy to answer them for you… shoot me an email jennahscriptAToutlookDOTcom
