DeepDive Learning Academy

I absolutely loved Deep Dive Learning Academy and had the best 28 weeks. The course structure, the mentors, the community: it's all perfectly thought-out and executed. I wanted to learn to code to make a dramatic career change from publishing to tech,... Read More and Deep Dive helped me to do so in just 9 weeks. Despite the entire bootcamp being held over online, the teaching standard and community still felt extremely strong. I couldn't recommend Deep Dive more.

I was working as Web Designer and I felt I was reaching a stagnating point in my career and wanted to develop my skills further. I stumbled upon Deep Dive’s website and scheduled 1:1 call to know more about the bootcamp. I checked it out and embarked... Read More on the journey mid – March 2020. It totally kicked me to get back into learning mode after years of being a working professional. It was hard but also really fascinating. All along I had the help and support of amazing mentors that were always incredibly nice and also opened to sharing on their journey. I couldn't recommend it enough but I want to highlight that it is difficult. It takes patience, endurance and dedication.

My time with DeepDive was really enjoyable. The bootcamp allows you to learn at your own pace. Communicating with a professional mentor every week allows the student to really get a standpoint of the course from the 'forces on the ground.' It also allows... Read More a student to ask questions and bridge the gap between gathering knowledge and placing it to start practicing. I received extra help for the topics in which I was struggling. I know other coding bootcamps will draw a line in terms of providing additional help. I was pleasantly surprised that to see DeepDive mentors go a long way in order to help out! I had completed a challenging portfolio project by the end of the course and I was amazed to see how much I could actually achieve with the course. I recommend DeepDive thoroughly.

Mentorship Part is the most precious aspect of this course. Building network in the field you aspire is the key to a successful career. I really enjoyed the self paced factor where you could complete the course as fast as you could and even put a pause... Read More in case if you have any personal things to take care of. The material at the course was extremely useful and to the point. If you're on the fence to take this course, don't be so. You are going to have a lot of fun. Their prices are extremely low compared to the other bootcamps and the value you get out of it is unmatched!

I came from a financial background and felt it was time for a career change. After considering my options for bootcamps, I decided to go with DeepDive Learning Academy because I'd heard some good things from my colleagues, and because I couldn't afford... Read More to leave my job and start an immersive one, it was (by far) the most financially sound choice. The entire team was very supportive, and they were all truly focused about the future of their students. Some of the topics are difficult, but Deepdive will give you the resources and extra time you need to learn those. If you're committed to making time and effort to learn a new skill, you will find their bootcamps very useful!

I have been thinking about changing my career to software engineering for a long time. Last year I decided to join Deepdive Learning Academy and I honestly I don’t regret it, the teaching system and the projects helped me to learn and further understand... Read More multiple technologies to be able to make beautiful sites. It is just ideal for you to learn and there are always people available if you have questions. My mentor went above and beyond to make sure I stay on the track. I also liked the flexibility where I could use extra time whenever needed. The job-support at the end of the course is unique, helping you to brand yourself and shine from other applicants. Definitely, the best way to start as a developer.

My experience at Deep Dive Learning Academy was great! There was much blood, sweat and tears that went into the program. That said, I had an amazing experience and feel that I came out prepared to go out into the workforce as a Junior Developer. You definitely... Read More get back as much as you put into it. From the beginning, my mentor pushed me to be self-reliant. At first I was frustrated with this approach, but now at the end of the bootcamp I am grateful that they so strongly enforced us being able to troubleshoot through our issues and questions. As a coder it is imperative to be able to dig yourself out of what ever hole you dig yourself into. You never want to fear experimenting or going down an unfamiliar path, that is where the creativity and fun come in, so having the ability to research, troubleshoot and backtrack is a must. And I am grateful they instilled these into us. I believe that most everyone can learn to code, but I do not believe this program, or rather bootcamps in general, are for everyone. One of the parts that I appreciate most about DeepDive Learning Academy, is that they take a real life and practical approach to what they teach you. You will not come out a Javascript or React expert, but you will understand how to employ the Agile mindset to project planning and execution , how to pair program, how to write up good Pull Requests, how to use Github, etc. Basically, I now have a very clear understanding of what a software developer does on a daily basis, and how to see projects through from beginning to end. With the wonderful foundations Deep Dive Learning Academy set, I can continue to self learn and grow my coding skills within a job. If you decide that Deep Dive Learning Academy is right for you, you will go through a roller coaster of an experience facing every human emotion. But if you fully apply yourself, listen to everything they tell you to do, code, code, and code some more; then you will come out at the end surprised at how much you learned about yourself, about coding, and about this industry in such a short period of time. Would I do a bootcamp again? Ask me again in a few months once I've caught up on sleep! But generally speaking, yes. And I would definitely recommend DeepDive Learning Academy to others who are serious about making a career shift in a short period of time. The mentors care about and invest in all their students, the curriculum is ever in flux to improve and adapt to changing technologies, and the approach is well balanced between coding, soft skills and project management. The one negative I would say, is that it’s a really hard work!!.
