Code Fellows

Although I was eager to begin the Code Fellow Bootcamp course, my experience ultimately left me feeling let down. One of the most significant areas that required improvement was the communication. It was disheartening to have important inquiries and concerns... Read More left unanswered for extended periods of time, making it difficult to remain motivated. In addition, I felt that the staff lacked ownership and did not take initiative in finding solutions. This was especially frustrating given the time and money I had invested in the program. Furthermore, attempts to contact the staff via phone or email were met with silence, leading to a sense of frustration and disconnection that made it challenging to stay engaged with the program. Overall, I cannot recommend the Code Fellow Bootcamp course. The absence of effective communication, ownership, and a sense of urgency made for an inadequate learning experience. If you are considering a bootcamp course, I suggest exploring other options that prioritize these critical elements.

If you are serious about breaking into the tech industry, be prepared to make the program your primary focus for as long as you are in the boot camp. It will be a challenging and ultimately rewarding experience.
