Actualize

When I was researching bootcamps to find one to attend, there was a common theme of negative issues for many OTHER bootcamps (high-stress, quality of instructors, 24/7 workload), but Actualize seemed to have a curriculum and a solution to each of those... Read More problems. After going through the program, I think I made the best choice possible. The instructor was amazing and had gone through the program so he knew exactly what we were going through. We also had 2 TAs for 10 students so there was always someone available for to answer our questions. Actualize emphasized continual learning and really helps set the foundation of how to go about picking up new technology and languages for after the bootcamp. While there are tough moments during the bootcamp, I never felt super stressed and always felt comfortable with what we were learning or I knew that I could easily ask for help to make me feel comfortable. The best aspect overall is also the Job Hacking where you have a dedicated Career Advisor that can help you with whatever job related item you need. It can be as broad as updating a Resume/LinkedIn Profile or as specific of helping you craft a message to network with someone on LinkedIn. The support does not stop after the bootcamp ends also, since you keep meeting with your Career Advisor after and are paired with a Tech Mentor (someone that has gone through the Actualize program and is currently working in the field). Overall the experience and the resources are amazing, and I truly enjoyed going to class each day.

Actualize provides a positive learning environment that effectively taught me how to code. This program was amazing to be apart of and I truly feel they have set me up to be successful in my career. Not only are the instructors super supportive and helpful,... Read More their TA's are the same way! I'm so glad I chose Actualize because it built my coding confidence as well as providing the the stepping stones to learn even more coding languages.

I chose Actualize because of the top reviews and all the good things the previous graduates and students had to say. I can say after taking this class I feel more confident than I honestly envisioned I would prior to graduation. Every instructor I had... Read More enjoyed their role as teacher and was always available to answer the questions, which was one of my main concerns when choosing a bootcamp. The coursework was carefully chosen by the members of the company to make sure we were getting the most out of the 4 months and I feel I really did get the most out of it. The job advisors were also always available and provided us with the information we need to be prepared for interviews and how to put ourselves in the best possible situation to get job offers. I also liked how the classes aren't too big. If this is an industry you are thinking about joining and you're looking into bootcamps I can say with confidence you can't go wrong with Actualize.

This course has not only taught the fundamental skills to be a developer, but also how to manage a good mental headspace. Not to mention supreme job hacking guidance. I strongly suggest this course for anyone looking to switch careers. As they say, anyone... Read More can learn to code! I wouldn't have thought it possible if I didn't take the leap into this and I'm glad I did! I went from being a dog groomer and knowing nothing about coding to being able to build full-stack apps. Thank you to all at Actualize! This was a most valuable experience.

Enrolling into this boot camp was a great decision. It was a lot of work but my Instructor did a great job breaking it down throughout the entirety of the course. The teaching assistants were well informed and always useful. The career advisors also showed... Read More great care and helped everyone stay on top of their job seeking requirements.

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Actualize. Making a career change is scary, but the approach to teaching and the support we're given throughout bootcamp and post graduation is absolutely incredible. I feel really thankful that I chose Actualize... Read More after doing a ton of research of different coding bootcamps to attend. Highly recommend to any prospective bootcamp attendees!

I chose Actualize because I knew I wanted to learn coding from professionally trained educators. I am so glad I chose Actualize for my bootcamp experience because the learning environment, curriculum and quality instruction was unparalleled!! I am actually... Read More sad that the bootcamp is over and will really miss my instructor and peers who I have developed a bond with over the past 3 months. I joined this bootcamp with no prior tech experience, and now through this course, I have gained a solid foundation of web development skills and feel empowered to make a career change into tech. I also really appreciate the job-hacking curriculum, resources and support services available for students even after graduation, as well as their tech mentorship program and networking Slack channel for graduates. Lastly, I really appreciate that Actualize values DEI and my instructor actively upheld an inclusive space. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community I felt comfortable and celebrated here as my authentic self. Look no further if you are considering pursuing a coding bootcamp.

I highly recommend this program because it not only prepares you with the necessary technology skills but also how to handle learning new things and taking on new challenges in your career. The cohorts are small which creates a great environment for learning.... Read More The instructors and TAs are super attentive and take the time to help you understand the topics.

I chose Actualize because: The materials on their website had a sense of humor I responded to I was able to set up a financing plan The curriculum includes Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, React, and jobhunting skills/resources The schedule fit my schedule (11am-4pm... Read More Central Time Monday through Friday) I came into the class with some technical background and still found the experience educational and worthwhile. I'm leaving the class with a bunch of ideas on things I want to build, things I want to try out, and the confidence to tackle new subjects/languages that I probably would not have tried exploring if left to my own devices.

It was super intimidating at first because I really didnt have all that much experience beforehand and I didnt know what to expect but Im so glad I took the leap and went for it anyway. The cohort was amazing, the TAs were awesome and the teacher was... Read More top tier. It was honestly one of the most worth while things Ive done for myself in a long time.
