Actualize

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.

After a long bootcamp search, I reached the ultimate destination when I chose Actualize. While I could go on and on about the strong instruction, thoughtful curriculum and powerful collaboration, the most impressive thing about Actualize is they are exactly... Read More who they say they are. Check out their website-- everything you read is true! Do it, take the leap-- they will catch you and walk you straight into the rest of your life!

I would recommend Actualize to anyone who wants to start a career in web development. The course is rigorous and very challenging, invest in yourself and go for it. Actualize helps students during and after the course with office hours, job hacking, and... Read More a huge support network. My instructor and TAs rocked and were always happy to help. The supportive environment with your classmates is also invaluable.

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,... Read More Kevin in prework, Katherine as the lead instructor, and the TAs.All were always more than willing to help and go over anything you were stuck on. It doesn't stop there, Lisa in career services has been super helpful in my job search. I recommend enrolling if you're looking to get into web development!

Pros, Network, Teachers, Job Help, Technical skills, An amazing way to get back into web development. I feel not only prepared to progress further any way i choose, but actually know i can add to this Magical world. Highly recommend to anyone from borderline... Read More career transfer status, to refining skills or wanting to learn further. Cons, none to think of.

I had a great experience at Actualize. I feel I have learned a lot from a fabulous instructor and TA's. The resources and assistance provided exceeds expectations and really helps lead to success, both in the program and after completion. I would and... Read More have recommended Actualize to anyone looking to get into software development. I started with practically no knowledge or experience in coding and finished feeling like I am capable to continue improving over time. It is definitely worth the sacrifice involved as it will be very rewarding.

Actualize was one of the greatest decisions I've ever made. Unlike other schools I've attended, I really felt like I had access to so so so much help and assistance when needed. Katherine made the bootcamp so fun, and I learned way more than I ever could... Read More on my own. I'm so excited to have all of the tools and knowledge needed to continue learning, and the continued support from Actualize. If you're serious about making a huge change in your life, I 10000% recommend this bootcamp. It really put into perspective how awesome of a career I can have. :)

I came to Actualize after reading many, many course reviews. A friend of mine is an Actualize Alum, and he recommended it highly. I will say if you're looking for something to help you start a new career in software development, this is definitely worth... Read More the money and the time. Knowledgable staff, and so helpful with learning to learn to code, and figuring out what comes next.

Actualize enabled me to learn an incredible amount in a relatively short amount of time. Before Actualize I was learning as much as I could through self study. I was able to learn about algorithms and other puzzle-solving style coding problems, but I... Read More wasn't learning much at all about practical programming and how to BUILD things with a computer! This is where Actualize excels, and I don't think I could have learned how to build a full stack web application in even 1/10th of the time on my own. Actualize gives you the tools you need to transition into a career in web development with actual skills beyond just theoretical computer science knowledge. There's also a great job hacking program where you're guided by career counselors, and there's an extremely supportive network of people who want to see you succeed. If you're like me and are burnt out from a career that doesn't value your skills as highly as you feel you deserve, I can't recommend Actualize highly enough.

I picked this bootcamp based off of reviews on this site, the schedule they had available, and conversations with friends. I didn't do as much research beforehand as I probably should have, and I feel lucky that I had made a good decision. Actualize's... Read More teaching philosophy is teaching us how to learn. They won't go over every possible technology simply because it isn't necessary. Instead, we dived deep into developing an understanding of how our code is interpreted by the system, how the mechanisms work beneath the surface, and best conventions to use. I feel confident that I can apply what I learned in this class to any coding environment going forward, whether it's backend or frontend technologies, or even if it's in a language I know or not. I'd recommend Actualize to anyone who is serious about pursuing a career in software development.
