You can ask your mentor for help when you are stuck, and the community is getting increasingly lively recently. All in all, a fully loaded program at a very affordable price point.

I went with Altcademy because I wanted to learn how to build fullstack websites and needed some guidance. It's hard to find a bootcamp that is online, self paced, has mentor support, AND at an affordable price. And what I love even more is that I am not... Read More just learning how to code, I am learning how to think and problem solve like a software engineer! Altcademy's curriculum is so thorough and clear. The mentors are very friendly and almost always available. The projects they designed helped me understand the different parts web development and how they all interact with each other. This alone has improved my confidence many fold.

It's easier to learn than I thought it would be. Material is well structured... Read More and the assignments are very clear and to the point. The curriculum is divided into small chunks so you can always come back to review. The course is definitely 100% worth it. I paid for the Fullstack program but I did not need to use all the courses since I had already done some front-end. If you can afford the Full-stack program, I would recommend it for sure.

Before joining Altcademy, I read many reviews and compared their pricing with other similar programs. It turns out they were actually the most affordable. Then I compared their curriculum and support with other programs, the material coverage is very... Read More similar to the well known bootcamps. Altcademy provides less face time, but after contacting a couple alumni, they said the included face time were enough to last through the whole duration. Altcademy seems to be a middle ground between the more expensive bootcamps and the cheaper self-learning courses. I have now gone through 2 out of 7 courses of the program. The curriculum is beginner level and very well written. It has both auto graded assignments and more in-depth mentor graded assignments. Feedback from my mentor have been very helpful. I am really enjoying my time here.

So I chose an online part time bootcamp to learn at my own pace and continue working.... Read More I am happy with this decision, I am now studying 15-18hrs a week, about 2 hours on work days, and 3-5 hours on days I don't work.

I chose Altcademy for the price and the support. After studying part-time for 7 months, I am about 80% through the curriculum. It is really an amazing experience and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to learn web development but does not have... Read More the luxury to pay 10k or sign an ISA. My mentor is responsive, helpful and smart. The content is good, complete, and detailed. The exercises are fun and challenging. I am now working on the rails course and learning to build APIs. There is so much more to learn, but I now know what it would take and I know I can do it.

I chose this course because I had a budget I had to adhere to. I really like that there are so many learning tools available for such an affordable price. There is an AI code debugger which is super helpful, a coding exercise platform, a Q&A platform... Read More with lots of questions from other students.
