Actualize

I had a fantastic experience with Actualize. I came into the course with next to zero coding knowledge and learned far more than I expected, every day. It became so much fun to learn new languages and algorithms I genuinely didn't want to stop at the... Read More end of each day. By the end of the course I was more than confident I could take on professional roles and pickup new methods and systems with relative ease. The capstone project was so much fun! The teacher (who absolutely loved to make the worst jokes possible - but usually the good worst jokes) always reminded us of how far we'd come in such a short time, and created a environment of comfort where we could talk to him, the TAs, and the other students without feeling judged. We were all in the same boat, even if we all felt like others were light years ahead (they weren't). In addition to the massive amount of coding I learned, the entire cohort itself was a wonderful learning experience. The career advisors are extremely helpful, you can really see how much they want you to succeed as an individual, I'm so glad I ended up choosing Actualize over the other several dozen bootcamps I checked out.

I chose Actualize because of the emphasis on supporting graduates trying to find a job. It was definitely the best education experience I have had and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to become a software developer without getting a CS degree.... Read More

When I decided to attend Actualize the cohort was about to begin in a week. The people at Actualize were very helpful with setting me up in a short amount of time I had, being on top of E-mails and making sure I have everything I needed. The class portion... Read More was amazing. I learned so much and built confidence with working on code. A very stress free and supportive environment made my learning experience relaxing but informative. The instructor was amazing, very clear and made sure what we learned made sense, and stuck it in our minds to THINK like a coder and that I AM a developer. I came into the cohort very nervous and anxious, and I am leaving the cohort confident and skilled.

I was referred to this Bootcamp by two former Actualize alumni and the only thing I regret was not joining sooner! My experience and the curriculum were superb! I couldn't imagine learning this much in such a short time. All the instructors were phenomenal,...
