LearningFuze

LeaningFuze helped me change my life and get my start as a Web Developer.

If you are willing to put in the time and effort, you can go from a person with zero or little experience to someone who can build applications from scratch. This program not only teaches you how to be code well by yourself but how to work as a team.

I highly recommend the program!

I had a great time in LearningFuze. I came into LearningFuze with no prior experience with computer science or coding. LearningFuze guided me down the correct path to learn Web development as well as a route to employment. I recommend LearningFuze to anyone with a self drive to learn and a passion for computers.

I am a recent graduate of LearningFuze and couldn't be happier with my experience. Be prepared for long hours and hard work, but also a really good time. It's safe to say that it was one of the best learning and growing experiences of my life. And the best part is you come out on the other end with a valuable skill that will help get you a job!

I come from an administrative background and was bored with my career. I had dabled in a tiny bit of HTML and CSS, but basically no programing knowledge before I entered the program. After I graduated I spent four weeks building up my portfolio and after a week and a half of appplying for jobs, I had two offers. So a month and a half after graduating I am officially a web developer.

If you want to go to a boot camp, you won't find one in Or...

I recently graduated from Learning Fuze. I came from nothing. I had no programming experience at all before I came to Learning Fuze. But I just wanted to say that everyone can do it with Learning Fuze. Although this course is extremely comprehensive and intense, it is worth it.

You don't need any prior experience or any related education in order to success. However, you only need one thing. That is commitment. The hours of this program is 10am to 6pm. But I usually was at Learning Fuze 9am to 9pm everyday which is 12 hours a day. I even study when I get home. Friendly instrutors are always there to help you. Whenever you need help, all you need to do is ask questions. They will always be there to help you and will teach you until you understand.

You don't just learn how to code ...

Over the course of my life I have attended multiple different schools and experienced all types of teachers and teaching styles. Overall Learning Fuze is the best school experience I've had to date. It is not repetitive lectures with boring homework. It is a fast pace and dynamic school giving you hands on experience coding. Learning Fuze starts you off running and keeps your running till the end of the program! It might seem like too much work at times, but the instructors here are always there to help keep you on track with the course. If you are falling behind, the instructors make it their duty to catch you up! Also as a junior you have access to your senior class who will help you anyway they can if you ask! Along with all of that, the staff is very active in helping you find a j...

I've been a student at LearningFuze for 2.5 months. I've nearly finished the program, and I have had an excellent experience thus far. The instructors provide a significant amount of lecture time, as well as projects that utilize the methods learned. In combination with my personal studies has provided an extremely solid base of CS knowledge and practice. In the past 3 months I have had nearly 800 hours of hands on coding time. The program requires a substantial time investment, and I've committed approximately 12-14 hours per day, five days per week, with about 6 hours or more on the weekends. This is an INTENSIVE and IMMERSIVE program, that is intended to take you from knowing nothing, to knowing enough to work in the development field. We train extensively on JavaScript, jQuery, MYSQ...

Currently I'm midway through week 3 of this course so I thought I'd share my experience thus far.

I have never learned so much in such a small time period. As of today I am about 1 month past the first day I wrote a line of JavaScript. The the comparison of both my knowledge and the actual code I wrote then versus now is tantamount to that of a 10 year old's soccer team vs a high school varsity team. Still a long way away from someone in the world cup but I certainly have a firmer grasp of the rules.

When interviewing for this bootcamp (as well as in the info sessions) they tell you that in order to be successful in this program, and as a developer in general you have to truly commit yourself to the process of learning and applying your newfound skills. They said the comm...

If you're worried about attending a bootcamp DON'T BE! especially if you're attending LearningFuze. Programming can be daunting at first but LearningFuze's approach and environment are great. The lead instructor Dan was phenomenal no matter how many questions I asked or anyone from my cohort asked he was right there with a great explanation and as they're called Danalogies. LearningFuze's stack is great and they really make sure they teach you the basics so learning and comprehending the more difficult concepts is easier. After graduation they were right there every step of the way to make sure I got a job. If you're willing to put in the work and follow their directions there is no reason you shouldn't land a job.

I came into LearningFuze with very little knowledge of HTML, CSS and programming in general. My previous experience has been in the financial industry as an operations director and manager but I was looking for a career change after leaving my former employer.

I went to an info night expecting to receive a sales pitch to enroll but that was not the case at all. I met Dan and could see his passion for coding, teaching and helping others learn. He was very direct in describing the program and commitment required so that anyone interested really needed to understand what they were in for and if it would be the right choice for them. I decided to take the part time classes and see how it went before making a commitment to enter the full Immersion 12-week classes. Understanding and lear...

I completed the 12 week course in December 2017 and what an intense exhilarating journey it was. I wanted a career change from working in retail and I always had a knack for technology. Coming in with no prior experience, I had a hard time trying to learning so many things so fast, but coming in everyday learning the material and practicing, practicing, and more practicing I never would have thought I could be where I am at today in my web developement process! The staff is amazingly dedicated and so helpful! Dan, the lead teacher is literally there for 10-12 hours a day willing to help and Andy and Tim are really knowledgeable and are always happy to help you with any issues. Since I have graduated Learning Fuze, TJ the program manager has helped be prepare my portfolio and go over...

Coming from a medical background and no prior major background in coding, it was an ease morphing my thought process. If you're on the same spot as me, then I'd highly recommend going into their preliminary/prep courses ROOT level 1 and ROOT JS just to get a feel of the learning environment which I think is pretty solid, intense but cozy. LearningFuze makes sure you get every tiny bit of coding knowledge to the bone and simulates as much as they can what i'd be like in a dev environment by holding cohort hackathons and collaborations with senior and junior cohorts with their projects. They also hold meetups, game nights and dev talks every now and then which I think is pretty awesome! Instructors are super friendly and some of them are seasoned alumni so they can pretty much relate on w...

I came into LearningFuze with prior experiance in web development and have to say that it was a great experiance, even for someone with experiance. The instructors dive deep into the root fundementals of programming for the web as well as job hunting. Would highly recommend to anyone motivated and willing to put in the hours.

I am currently half-way through the 12 week full immersion program, and I love it.

So why did I describe LFZ (Learning Fuze) with those three words? Allow me to explain.

Intense. Learning Fuze is going to be one of the biggest commitments you will make in your life. You will get out of this program just as much as you put into it. That said, there are great instructors here always willing to help that make your life so much easier. I'm by no means the hardest worker here, but I can see so much improvement in not just myself but all of those around me that is unparalleled to anything I've seen in any colleges.

Family. When you come to LFZ, you are committing yourself to over 12 weeks of 10-14 hour days here. All of the staff and all of your cohort buddies become your family. You...

I am very thankful that I chose to come to LearningFuze. Five months ago, I left a job in HR, with hardly any technical background. And now, I just started my first job as a web developer. LearningFuze accelerated my ability to successfully transition to a new career. Though there is still a ton that I don't know, I am surprised and how much I was able to learn in 3-months. More than anything else, LearningFuze laid the foundation to continue learning and have categories to place that new information.

There are a lot of things I could say, but I'll focus on two major strengths that stand out to me about LearningFuze:
1. Post-Graduation Support
2. Job Support

Post-Graduation Support: I've had the experience at other schools of being cut-off from the community as soon as you gr...

LearningFuze took me from my first taste of web development, through building my own live website, to support during my job hunt. The curriculum starts out with regular assignments and lectures. Later, the structure of the class becomes more typical of what you would see in a real-world development environment: project focused, working both individually and in teams. Through it all, there is plenty of support available from the instructors.

Just a few weeks after the end of official instruction, I was hired as a web developer thanks to a connection I made through TJ, one of the instructors. One of the first things I noticed at my new job was that I already felt comfortable in a working development environment. LearningFuze was able to emulate that environment so faithfully that I ent...

You have to actually try really hard and put the time in. If you aren't willing to do that, then I do not recommend.

However, if you are willing to work, then LearningFuze is the perfect place to be. You are surrounded by knowledgable and helpful people. You are taught the necessary skills for being successful in a working environment. I learned a ridiculous amount in three months and I'm excited to say that I landed an awesome job just a month after graduating. I'd say that it's definitely worth it because I am now set up for a long term career.

Dan, the head instructor, is an excellent teacher because he can boil relatively complicated ideas down to his "Danalogies" (Dan + analogy). If you don't understand something, he'll personally take time to make sure you get it. Also, th...

For background, I've started programming 13 months ago, going through multiple online resources to learn even just the basics of Javascript, HTML, CSS, etc. For 8 months I struggled day to day on whether I'm optimizing my education. Hell, with so many resources online, the first half of learning is picking the right resources, and the second half is actually the learning.

Needing a clear goal and plan to development, I invested all my energy into LearningFuze, 10-12 hours a day for 12 weeks. I came in with the attitude of only success. I literally couldn't afford failure. And LearningFuze was the perfect choice for that. It was clear to me how excited and invested they were in their students. I wasn't even a paid student yet before I came around to personally check out their program....

I just recently graduated from learningfuze and without a doubt I can say it was the best learning experience of my life. Before the program I was pursuing my degree in Computer Science and working as a junior developer for a family owned company. I found little enjoyment in my work because I had almost no knowledge in programming. Learningfuze helped me to develop skills in html/css/js/react/node/php. Now, not only do I enjoy programming because I'm finally capable of writing complete code, but I also enjoy learning in general. Learningfuze taught me how to learn like a developer and take creative approaches to problem solving. I feel much more confident in pursuing my degree and expanding my programming knoledge.

As for the instructors of learningfuze.

Bill, Dan, Scott, Andy, an...

Spending the last 3 months at LearningFuze has been a great experience! The staff's very real passion for helping people became evident as soon as I walked in the building. LearningFuze has created an environment where you can learn at your own pace, regardless of your prior experience/knowledge.

Everyone from fellow students, to staff and guest speakers, have been very supportive and motivating throughout the course. I'm glad I came here and completed this challenging, but very rewarding program and i would highly recommend to anyone thinking of moving into the field!

Prior to starting at LearningFuze, I only had very basic knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript through sites like Codecademy and Udemy. With the help of the awesome instructors at LearningFuze, I am now confident in my skills as a full-stack developer.

The best part about LearningFuze is their staff. The instructors are super helpful and very passionate about programming. They are always available to help you through whatever you're working on and will stay as late as you need them to. The career help after the program is also extremely helpful. I personally had no experience with the interviewing/job search process and Bill was there every step of the way to help me through it.

The program is extremely challenging and requires your complete dedication to it but at the end of it,...

NO PRIOR SKILL REQUIRED

I am currently 7 weeks into my course at LearningFuze, and I can tell you from experience, this course is extremely comprehensive, intense, and 100% possible for anyone with a drive to succeed. I had never coded before in my life prior to deciding I wanted to take a coding bootcamp course, and I have learned more in the last 7 weeks than I had ever thought possible. Once I started considering taking a bootcamp course, I spent every day worrying if I would have what it takes to succeed. Will I be quitting my job and joining a course I'm ultimately going to not be able to grasp the material in? I was terrified. Thankfully, I'm here to tell you from experience that you don't need to know anything about coding before you start. You don't need innate talent, photog...

What sets LearningFuze apart from the other boot camps is how well connected they are in the job market. The Director of Operations, Bill, knows just about every tech-related person in Orange County. No matter what industry you’re coming from, you know that networking is the key to finding a job. Bill leverages his connections to help you find that job after you graduate.

Another thing that sets LearningFuze apart from other boot camps is the culture. Where most bootcamps have classes that start and end at a specific time, LearningFuze keeps their doors open for as long as you need. The Lead Instructor Dan really invests his time into you and makes sure you truly understand the concepts being taught. His resolve has fostered a culture where students are often coming in early and stay...

So a little about myself and my previous experience so you don't think this is some fake review. I graduated from CSUF with a BA in finance, did that for several years and felt like there was something missing with my career. Being unhappy with my current heading in life I reflected on things that I enjoyed doing but for whatever reason or another never pursued as a career choice. I always had a knack for technology and still remember the first computer my uncle brought home in my wee childhood years. This in turn lead me to programming and taking introductory courses at a nearby community college to see if this was a path I wanted to go down. After taking the courses, I found that I really did enjoy building and creating things with code, but I felt like there was something missing wi...

I graduated twenty years ago with a computer science degree, I never made use of it as I was simply out-dated in my knowledge before I even finished school. I have been a graphic designer for the entirety of my career thus far and, was interested enough in getting back into coding that I started learning on my own online and by reading books. 

I ended up deciding to go to an accelerated web development program because I knew I had gaps in my knowledge and, wanted that extra push as well as to work with people that wanted to learn as much as I did. I did my research before choosing a program, I went to meet ups at various locations, talked to current and in one case a person that had already finished the program before making my decision about going to LearningFuze. 

The result has bee...

After an intense 12 weeks, I am happy with my decision to enroll and complete the Learning Fuze Web Development Program.
I had dabbled in computer programming on my own for many years, but this program was truly the difference between "kind of programmed" and "web developer." Some of the defining moments of the program were the "hackahtons" where students had 36 hours to complete a development challenge in assigned groups. The program has taught me how to be a developer in the kind of team environment one would be expected to perform in at a place of employment. Three months ago, I would have never believed that I would be an integral part in developing a web app with client side code written using the React Javascript framework and server side code written using NodeJS, mySQL, and ph...

Before I started Learningfuze, I only had very basic knowledge of HTML and CSS. With great instructors and staffs, now I am very confident with JavaScript and related libraries/frameworks.
The best part about Learningfuze was that instructors were very passionate in teaching and helping students to learn thoroughly. No matter how early or late you want the instructors to come in or stay late, they will spend extra time to help students out. For example, instructor Dan held early morning sessions for me and one other student because we weren’t confident on some of the topics that we covered. Not only that, they helped a lot with preparing for job searching and interviews.
Exactly one month after I graduated, I was offered with two great opportunities. The 12 week course was very chall...

LearningFuze is a fantastic program for anyone looking to make the transition into their web development career. As a graphic designer, I had basic knowledge of HTML and CSS, but that was it. After completing the program, I was able to create fully functional web apps written in javascript (Angular, jQuery). LearningFuze definitely knows how to push you to become not only a better developer, but a better person as well. The environment is friendly and intelligent. It was a place that I easily felt at home with.

A couple months after graduation I was offered a position as a web developer with a nice salary. The journey is definitely hard, but WELL WORTH IT. Please, do yourself a favor and check out LearningFuze.

I had a great experience at LearningFuze learning web development. I was doing graphic/web design originally and had wanted to delve deeper into the development side. The curriculum focuses on teach a set of core programming languages before splitting into front-end and back-end technologies. I enjoyed how project-based the curriculum was and the applications that you get to develop really help you to hone your skills and allow you to learn how to build fairly sophisticated and polished apps. The program is very fast paced and intense and you have to put in a lot of effort and work to learn the material in 3 months time. Although regular hours are from 10-6pm,the facility stays open after hours and many students stay late (8 or 9pm) to continue working on practice problems and projects....

Coming from a non-technological background, it was a big relief for me that Learningfuze caters people who have or have not had experience.

Things I really appreciate about LF:

-The course is 12 weeks, but you also get two weeks of additional class that will prepare you for the basic such as HTML and CSS.

-During and near the end of your time, someone will be there to help you assemble your resume and assist you in the job search.

-You will be given the opportunity to choose if you want to go back-end or front-end, but they don't limit you if you want to learn both.

-Advanced topics are offered to anyone who is willing to come early on Tuesdays and Thursday mornings before regular instruction begins.

-A lot of guest speakers (past students and professionals in the fi...

Web development is such a fast moving career that even though I was a mixed developer at my old job, that didn't prepare me to being a full time developer at a real web development company.

I was planning on making the jump and tried for years to being a full time web developer but the barrier to entry was really steep. LearningFuze really help dispel any myths i had about being a web developer.

Prior to joining LearningFuze I had a lot of freelance experience and some work experience coding; but to be a web developer requires a certain type of mentality. It's not just a job but a lifestyle. You really have to question yourself if being a web developer is your thing.

The main part of being a web developer is that you're always a student. There's always more to learn in th...
