Clarusway

Detailed and real review....Found Clarusway online, contacted, convinced (with no IT background)to land on a job right after graduation and decided to take AWS Solution Architect and also Devops Engineering courses along with ITF (fundamentals) classes... Read More before actual classes. On the phone made an agreement on payment %50 in installments and other half after finding job. Received a contract to sign for %100 in installments, signed (excuse was they didnt have that agreed contract available anymore) and started classes... NEVER received ITF classes and struggled alot to learn. Real reason i didnt receive ITF classes was, those classes just finished so they put me right away in AWS classes with students just finished ITF. Only few mentors were nice and PROFESSIONAL but others were either rude or wouldnt help. Students came from ITF had more on point questions that made them mentors' favorites and ignore the rest of the students. I was guaranteed for support and was told to ask questions anytime I dont understand but I was ignored and made fun by mentors which made me feel terrible in front of everyone so I was on my own whole time. Quit my job to focus on classes so I could become successful faster. Now I am broke and can not find a job at all... %90 of the classes are copy/paste which doesnt teach anything in reality. You can not even pass the basic certificate exams after completing bootcamp. Most mentors are foreign and cant explain things well and have very little understanding the things they teach about but some are really good, professional but didnt have time for us. Topics that students dont understand always postponed further and further so they can tell at the end that we need to repeat things to understand before applying to jobs. There were 35-50 students in my class and only 1 (unlike %90 as they advertise) was able to find a job, the rest are still struggling like me and can not even pass any technical interviews. I learnt alot of services, tools, etc but I had never learned anything actually because most of it was copy/paste and also they teach us things in few hours which actually can take weeks to learn so they can claim they thought what they advertised. (YES this is bootcamp but we pay to learn). Students were given projects from time to time to complete (and CAPSTONE project at the end of each course) but had no idea what to do, where to start and eventually nobody was successful (except few which they had background in IT already) because "COPY/PASTE doesnt teach"... It is very hard to find a job without experience and they know that so on paper you will be on an internship program with one of their companies so to show an experience on your resume. Now; its been months since bootcamp finished and I applied more than 200 jobs but not even a single response from any of them. If you are still thinking to signup, make sure what you sign-up for, do your research before, do your math ($), at the end of each course test yourself without extra resources try to clear the certification exams before going in to next course so you know that if you learn from them or not, be ready to study very hard, do not quit your job, ask questions to mentors (not to your classmates) where you dont understand and also secure your computer and personal info !!! IMPORTANT !!! my computer got hacked during classes, slack conversations recorded, got dropped many times during projects, got my identity stolen, video recorded through camera(zoom), threatened and asked to send bitcoin just after graduation. Recommendations: Look for alternatives that cost much less(Udemy - Youtube, etc) - Studying on your own without paying thousands of $ Pros: Learn latest tools on the market - make connections - teach and learn from classmates - mental challenges to develop yourself Cons: Price - security - transparency - lack of support - lack of learning - time consuming - and many more to list

Expert Instructors: The DevOps Bootcamp stands out due to its exceptional instructors who possess extensive knowledge and a genuine passion for DevOps. Comprehensive Curriculum: The bootcamp offers a comprehensive curriculum that covers essential DevOps... Read More tools such as Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS, Ansible, and Jenkins. The emphasis on hands-on experience and practical exercises equips students with a strong foundation, enabling them to confidently address real-world DevOps challenges. Supportive Learning Environment: Goes above and beyond in fostering a supportive learning environment. Instructors are readily available to answer questions and provide guidance, ensuring that students receive personalized attention. Additionally, the school keeps its curriculum up-to-date with industry trends, ensuring that graduates are well-prepared to excel in the ever-evolving DevOps field. Intensive Schedule: One minor drawback of the bootcamp is its intensive schedule. Due to the comprehensive curriculum and hands-on approach, students may find that the program demands a significant time commitment. While this is generally beneficial for learning, it may be challenging for individuals with other time constraints or responsibilities to manage. Limited Class Size: Another minor limitation is the limited class size. While smaller class sizes can foster a more personalized learning experience.

I started the Frontend Developer course at Clarusway IT Bootcamp in November 2022. Despite having no prior IT experience initially, I followed the roadmap provided by the course and reached a very high level. So much so that just two months after completing... Read More the course, I started a remote job. In addition to the Frontend Developer training, the course also provided education on Career Management Services (CMS), and the instructors were highly knowledgeable and successful in their fields. Moreover, the mentoring aspect was also excellent. One of my favorite aspects of Clarusway is that they don't sell dreams to those who want to take the course. Clarusway doesn't guarantee job placement, but they provide such a comprehensive roadmap that it's almost impossible not to learn IT and find a job when you follow their guidance to the letter. That's why I recommend Clarusway to everyone.

It was a short course compared to university education, but it was at least as intense and full as university education. Our teachers and mentors were successful people in their fields. We used almost all the necessary tools related to my field during... Read More the course. I was able to get technical and theoretical support immediately in case of any problem.

Almost after 6 months, I graduated from this course and I highly recommending it. Knowledgeable and caring teachers, nice environment, sufficient documents create this very good course. Hands-on experiences, teamworks and CMS sessions were enough and... Read More educational. If you want to start from zero, you will never regret to apply it.

As a recent computer engineering graduate, I'm excited about crossing paths with the Clarusway family. Meeting instructors like Noah, Sam, and Anthony has been truly rewarding. Their dedication, mastery of subjects, and industry insights have greatly... Read More enriched my learning journey. Compared to my university experience, Clarusway's curriculum and teaching approach stand out. The focus on practical industry skills and inclusion of sought-after technologies is a real plus. Insights from both CMS and regular classes are invaluable. I appreciate the teamwork, workshops, CMS classes, and guidance for LinkedIn and resumes. Adding a few sessions on Next.js, a technology often seen in job listings, would be fantastic. Improvements have been made lately, but spacing out topics, especially in React, would enhance comprehension. Complex React subjects taught consecutively can be challenging. Being a part of Clarusway brings me joy. My sincere thanks to the Clarusway team for their dedication to enhancing education.

Before completing this course, I secured a job as a front-end developer. Throughout the study, the instructors made a concerted effort to ensure that we gained valuable skills and knowledge. I am genuinely grateful for their assistance and guidance. Thank... Read More you. Their CMS is excellent! You can ask any question without hesitation. Their schedule is well-organized, and their learning module is easy to use. This program is designed to be compact, and it is important to follow each lesson carefully and practice intensively to learn effectively.

I was an officer in my country. I was thinking of changing my job in times of Covid-19. After a long research, I decided to join Clarusway with recommendations of my friends who were graduated from there. I could not image finding a new job at an IT company... Read More before the course was over. If you are thinking to change your path in IT world and from working anywhere, Clarusway is the chance. But remember that they have no a magic stick, you have to work hard with their guidance and well education system.

This school is amazing 🤩. To begin, Clarusway goes in depth into the subject you are studying and they also add many related classes to the curriculum. I am currently in the Salesforce Admin & Developer course - which is six months long, not just one... Read More of those little 10 or 12 week Boot Camps. Along with Salesforce we have learned HTML5, CSS3, SQL and so forth. They also add in as a huge part of the course a very very detailed career management course - they have so many teaching tools they use to make class interesting and fun- not to mention the exceptional pre class work! I cannot express enough how well done and well thought out this program is. The instructors/mentors are all amazing and I feel extremely fortunate to have these people teaching me! The people have to be one of the best parts of Clarusway. I can't imagine having gone to any other school- because my experience here has been fantastic. Lastly in the Salesforce program we are even doing a real internship which we will be able to put on our resumes. Thank you for everything Clarusway!!

I do not recommend taking any course from Clarusway. I took their course and the course fee was around $10k. However, I had to pay 12.5% of my salary for 18 months after finding a job a because I signed the agreement that I would pay after finding a job,... Read More which amounted to a maximum of $20k. Prior to taking the course, they conducted a preliminary interview where they said that if I found a job with a salary below $40,000, I wouldn't have to pay anything. At the time, I was unsure about working in the IT field and thought that if I didn't like it, I wouldn't continue. Despite not being satisfied with what was taught in the course, I completed it. The teaching and mentorship system were not satisfactory either. As a Turkish person living in the US, I only wanted to attend English classes. However, I had to attend Turkish classes due to some teachers' unclear English. Non-Turkish classes were better, but there was one teacher who was not up to par. Furthermore, despite the promise of a mentorship program, I never received any mentoring. They also asked money for mentorship! I worked in an IT job for two months and paid 12.5% of my salary, but I decided to quit and work for Instacart and Uber instead. When I informed Clarusway of my decision, they demanded payment if I earned more than $40,000 from any job in the next five years. This was never mentioned during the initial course introduction, and it felt unfair and immoral. I do not plan on working in the IT field for the next five years to avoid this unreasonable demand. Before taking the course, I recommended it to some friends who were also manipulated during their preliminary meetings. Clarusway said that I wouldn't have to pay if I didn't work for five years. However, I later found out that I would have to pay even if I didn't work in the IT field. This was unacceptable to me, and I would not have applied to Clarusway if I had known this beforehand. In conclusion, I strongly advise staying away from Clarusway and not wasting your time and money on their courses.
