Florida Atlantic University Bootcamp

This course has been a GIANT waste of money. The modules look like they are using software from the early 2000s. For a course in UX/UI design you would think that the modules themselves would be much better. The scope and sequence of the classes makes... Read More little sense. At one point our instructor told us they something we were learning in week 9 as the first step, and something we did week 3 as one of the last. The instructor I can tell is knowledgeable but the online classes have been her showing us youtube videos and reading verbatim from a slide show. She hasn't shown taught any of the hard skills and does not know the four major software programs that UX/UI designers use (figma, XD, sketch and Miro). We have not learned how to use a single one. I have had multiple conversations with University Academics (who runs the bootcamp for FAU) about learning the hard skills but with little luck. I wish I would have 1) spent a little more for a better program or 2)learned it on my own since I am pretty much doing that anyway. The money back guarantee is also a scam, make sure you read the fine print! They completely changed the requirements to get it. I could go on and on but my big hope is that I can save people money and not go through this experience. It truly is just a piece of paper at this point.

With approximately two years of C# experience for Unity game development, I sought out a web development boot camp as a means practicing my problem-solving skills to devise code better in Unity, as well as to make a career in the web development industry,... Read More given how high in demand web and software development have been. What led me to choose this boot camp over others like Thinkful is in the price point, to which I able to make manageable monthly payments. After discussing with admissions and my fiancee on the idea of returning back to school, essentially, I was motivated to step up to complete this boot camp, knowing that it is an investment that will pay off in the long run. My experience thus far has been a pleasant one, in how straight forward navigating QuickStart's website to reach the modules; though, my academic advisor and instructor did do their part in walking me through orientation to ensure I was ready for the boot camp. The modules have been enlightening, in their fairly clear explanations and video examples. There are some grammatical errors here and there, but they are minor and far in-between. But, the most fun I've gotten is in the assignments that enable me to my knowledge to the test. So far, the training I've received has made me more excited on the possibilities of web development; still, I would recommend anyone who is on the fence of joining a boot camp to consider QuickStart, as their prices are more affordable than others, while still offering you the same resources to become a full stack web developer.

I was coming from a non tech background and doing this course has given me the needed opening into Information technology industry. The course is formulated such that you have the foundational knowledge of computers and networking before you delve into... Read More cloud computing. So if you are a novice like me, this is a great course to take. The support team is also fantastic in providing support as needed. Another thing I love about this course is the regular feedback sessions. This ensures you are not just being taught but the program is being restructured to fit the needs and concerns of the students.

So far i’m about 4 weeks in and the course is loaded with detail. Very easy to navigate the software and website to get started with your program! Advisors and instructors are very helpful! They are very quick to respond and help you with whatever your... Read More need!
