Bethel School of Technology

Bethel School of Technology, in my opinion, offers the perfect environment for all ranges of aspiring Technologist - from Beginner to Expert. The curriculum is designed to ensure a wholistic approach to preparing students for the "real world" - something... Read More that not very many other boot camps or indeed educational institutions do too well. Bethel Tech's emphasis on the development of one's character and technical skills is indeed a breadth of fresh air - producing the quality of leaders and professionals needed in a Tech-driven world. Being admitted to Bethel Tech was one of the proudest days of my life - more so being an alumni as I know that I remain an integral part of a rapidly growing family of tech enthusiast and revolutionaries. I cannot recommend Bethel School of Technology highly enough - it is indeed an experience I will forever be grateful for! Pros include (but not limited to the following): - Ideal course duration guaranteeing ample coverage and exposure critical areas - Readily and easily approachable Staff - Great student body and community Cons include: This is more of a recommendation (as opposed to a con). I would love to see students given more real life/world challenges for their weekly and final projects. Perhaps, Bethel Tech could partner with organisations in identifying areas where they have challenges, and then pass those issues over to the student body/community to come up with solutions.

Was skeptical at first, but once I joined Bethel and got to see the courses first hand, I was amazed at the intuitive layout of the courses, and the hands on approach and philosophies of the school. The teachers were available when needed, the student... Read More to student support is highly encouraged, and career services was right there even before the time for it came.

I took the Full-Stack course, so this is coming from that perspective. This is a Christian coding bootcamp that is entirely online, and based out of Redding, California. I believe they are associated with the Bethel church and partnered with the Visible... Read More Music College in Tennessee. The people are awesome and do their best to help you even if they don't always have the answer. They work to help you succeed in gaining new skills and starting new careers. BOOTCAMP: Starting the bootcamp, you have a choice of several different front-end and back-end web technologies and can mix-and-match your curriculum. I chose React for my front-end framework and Java for the backend. I was then assigned an instructor and met with them along with several other students who (iirc) were studying the same technology once a week for an hour. Some were several modules ahead, and some were behind, meaning that we didn't all start at the exact same time and could offer help to and get help from our peers. The curriculum was pretty well paced, was very relevant, and has been incredibly useful to me. To be critical, I feel as though some things that were focused on were either out-of-date ways of doing things or very advanced methods that aren't quite necessary and aren't common. I don't know which of the two yet. Another issue was that some of the materials weren't updated or were confusing/incorrect (especially during the assignment instructions), leading to some frustration. Overall, don't misunderstand, the curriculum was good and it was taught well. I highly recommend this bootcamp. Those were just my only two complaints. There's also a Career Services team that starts to work with you a few months before your graduation. They work on interviewing skills, updating and overhauling your resume, and giving you tips on what interviewers want to see. They also host graduates and guest speakers a few times a month to speak about their journey in the workforce, give tips on interviewing in general or for specific companies (big names included), and have an AMA segment for the students watching. I believe the Career Services team and the guest speakers are available to graduates as well, not just current students. Lastly, the final project is a group project where you're assigned several teammates. You work on project management, team management, and development skills over a month to develop a final Full-Stack application. You also make a few friends along the way. :) POST-BOOTCAMP: During and after graduation, I spent about one month (iirc) applying to 42+ jobs and speaking with 20 recruiters. Only one company responded with a follow-up. But, by that point, I had received a job offer. This company reached out to me after receiving my resume from my Career Services instructor. Thanks to my CS instructors, I got an interview and a few follow-ups before I received a job offer and eventually took the job.

I entered Bethel Tech with no coding background. I only had interest and curiosity to learn coding and possibly find a career in the tech industry. When I started, I found myself quickly doubting my ability to learn coding with the amount of time that... Read More I had. What Bethel Tech provided was a great community of instructors, mentors and fellow students that helped me from doubting to confidence. Even when outside circumstances in my life brought hesitation with me completing Bethel Tech, I found so much support from my instructors, mentors and fellow students to keep moving forward. With their help and support, I was able to make it through Bethel Tech and graduate. Not only did I graduate, but I was also able to find my first coding job a month after graduation! I'm truly grateful for Bethel Tech for the opportunity to see my dreams come true!

I worked full time and entered the coding program at Bethel in March of 2019. spent from March till December 2019 working through the program along with a great community of students and instructors there to support me anytime i needed it.

I graduated from Bethel Tech December 2018. The skills I learned in this program have helped me in my job now and changed my perspective when it comes to the beautiful world of technology. This is not the usual school of technology you'd find, what makes... Read More Bethel Tech so unique is the foundation of faith that it's built on. It's the heart of the school that tugged on my dreams to come back alive. Now, with everything I've learned and applied, I'm seeing my dreams come true in my career. I feel so prepared to take any task that seems impossible because if everything I learned in my program! When I began the program I was in between beginner to intermediate knowledge of coding and computer language. Starting off the course, it's amazing because no matter where you stand in coding knowledge, they start you off with basics before you set on to do the language you applied for. My favorite part of being in this online school was the ability to connect with people from around the country and the amount of accountability and help I had. The coursework is challenging not impossible. Its repetition helped the information stay in my brain which helped me apply it easier. There are practice activities and assignments. While working on assignments your building your professional portfolio and have something to walk away with that employers will see and love! The instructors I worked with were part of WozU and were great at pushing you to seek the information on your own, but we're always willing to help. The workshops and endless resources helped and I was able to pass every assignment! Thank you to the amazing staff, pastors and mentors! I wouldn't be where I am now if it wasn't for all of you dreaming big! I recommend this school to anyone who is looking to run after seeing God move in technology and seeing your dreams come to life. Big or small!

Before attending Bethel School of Technology I had zero experience in software development and I never really even felt much of a draw towards learning tech. The program and the staff at Bethel Tech not only met me where I was at, they personally encouraged... Read More and empowered me to believe that I could thrive and excel as a developer. Not only have I exceeded all of my own expectations in regards to learning how to code, I feel like I have learned how to think and problem solve in totally new ways. Attending Bethel Tech has been an incredible blessing to my life. I have gained so much wisdom and understanding. I was concerned about how it would look to go back to school while raising kids and being a husband, but even my family would tell you it has been life giving to them as well based off the impact it has had on me. You will not find better staff and support anywhere. This school will change you and equip you to not only be an amazing leader in the workforce, but also an amazing leader for your family and community.
