LearningFuze

When I initially signed up for LearningFuze, the curriculum was scheduled for in-person instruction. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we switched to studying from home. The LearningFuze staff adapted and has still provided an exceptional learning... Read More experience. Instructors are available from 10am-8pm (and even outside those hours!). The work-like environment has been a great introduction for someone like me who is new to the tech industry. The instructors are passionate and motivated to teach. The information is delivered succinctly and efficiently, while still encouraging individual curiosity (which is important for a career in development).

I went in with no coding experience and LearningFuze instructor Cody was incredibly welcoming and patient. He guides you through the fundamentals. You also have access to other supporting instructors and TAs throughout the entire course. In the second... Read More half of the course my cohort was turned over to Senior Instructor Tim. There the work becomes more independent and allows you to solidify your skills and your ability to learn new technologies. This may sound intimidating, and you might think you can't do it, but Tim really does prepare you by giving you a systematic approach. You will feel like you gained a super power after this bootcamp. I cannot believe I picked this bootcamp in part because it was all I had the budget for, but got the best learning experience of my life. Cass is relentlessly prepping you for interviews, TJ gives awesome presentations about networking and solidifying your online presence and various other important topics every other week. This team attacks becoming a developer from every angle. Hackathons, projects, a portfolio. I couldn't recommend it more. Also I've just made a lot of friends and valuable connections. Not to mention how this team seamlessly transitioned to online 4 weeks into the course due to COVID19, they gave my cohort an extra week to help alleviate any lost learning during the transition, and let us take textbooks and monitors home to aid in our workflow. Could not imagine a team more dedicated to and invested in your success.

I just completed my time at LearningFuze and am very happy with the course. They did a great job following through with everything as promised. It was very tough at times and required me to spend long days getting practice problems and projects completed... Read More but that's what it takes to step into a new field. I feel like I have learned the fundamentals of building full stack projects and have gained the power to continue teaching myself as I work through my programming career. Thank you to all the staff and instructors there as they really have put a lot of effort into making LearningFuze a great boot camp!

My development journey actually started in March 2019. I decided I wanted to learn how to code and get a job in web development after talking through it with a friend in the industry. I started by first using online resources (freecodecamp, full stack... Read More udemy courses, etc) and made it through a couple months and learned a lot. However, I quickly got bogged down by the breadth of libraries/frameworks out there. Where do I begin? I then found LearningFuze as a top coding bootcamp in Orange County, read reviews, and visited during one of their info meetings. I could tell the environment was the kind of place I wanted to be. At the time, I was working full-time and couldn't afford the full-time bootcamp, so I started part time and made it through 3 of the 5 modules. I was LOVING every minute of it... but still felt like I wasn't getting the most out of the experience by not giving it 100% of my attention. After long talks with my spouse and saving up some money, I transferred to the full immersion program in February 2020. It was an amazing experience to be surrounded by like-minded individuals, being able to ask questions from instructors and other developers, and building projects that I was proud of and wanting to show to friends and family. It was difficult, and definitely a lot to take in at times... but by the last couple weeks of the course, I had the confidence to research new libraries and frameworks and learn them without any instructor-led exercises. It was also really good to know I had their support and could ask them questions about what I was learning and they always could either guide me to the solution or help me find the answer. The other aspect of the program that I loved (that I feel doesn't get mentioned enough) is the fact that they build career prep, mock interviews, getting your LinkedIn and professional brand up and running as you go through the program. You get opportunities to network with developers, companies, recruiters, and other people during lunch and learns, webinars, and other events as well. There is constant support throughout the whole journey. Even in the midst of COVID-19, my cohort had to make the unique transition from in-person to remote in the middle of our program. The transition to meeting on zoom was smooth, the staff had a game plan before the stay at home orders were in effect, and we were able to absorb the material without any loss of quality. If you join today, rest assured you will be getting the same quality experience remote as you would in-person. The staff at LearningFuze are top notch. Every one of them knows your name, invests in you, and really wants you to succeed. I just finished the full-time curriculum and my cohort still gets together every day on slack and zoom to keep each other accountable through stand ups or just to help each other as we work on our portfolios and begin the job search. Attending LearningFuze was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life and I do not regret any of it. If you have a strong drive to learn and passion to get into development, I can't recommend this place enough!

LearningFuze has provided an excellent program with quality instructors and supporters. The coursework is tough and it's full of challenging, but it is definitely valuable.

The cohort that I have taken had the unique experience of performing online learning... Read More due to the COVID-19. Nevertheless, we were able to receive excellent trainings and education. I was pretty amazed by how seamless the transition was, and how dedicated the instructors were teaching in spite of the unusual situation.

In all, I’m very happy with my decision to select LearningFuze. I feel like I have gained valuable experience, learned programming, coding, and developing a lot, and have met so many new people. If you’re having thoughts about joining the program, I highly recommend contacting LearningFuze.

If you are debating which coding bootcamp to join, I hope I can help you end your struggle and to make a decision. Because I went through the same worries. People I knew told me there are lots of bootcamps out there that will waste my time and money and... Read More honestly when I decided to join LearningFuze, I was taking a leap of faith after trying out a prep course in a different bootcamp. And I am SO GLAD that I made the choice to join LearningFuze because I enjoyed every minute of it.

First of all, they have a very well-organized group of instructors. Not only each one of them is very skilled and knowledgeable, but also goes above and beyond to guide you through the process. They know that making that decision to join a bootcamp is not easy and that you have a life beyond LearningFuze so they try to do everything they possibly can to help your succeed. With every encounter with my instructors, I got an impression that they were passionate about teaching the materials just as we were passionate about learning them.

The other reason that I highly recommend LearningFuze is the curriculum. Your 12 weeks will be packed with learning some of the most popular languages and technologies that many companies are looking for, such as React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, Bootstrap, and Git/GitHub. I liked the fact that the curriculums aren’t the same for every cohort but they keep making improvements to make it tight, but manageable for students.

I had a great time and probably one of the most valuable learning experience at LearningFuze. I met my cohorts who will be my colleagues in the industry even after the program and I gained confidence to call myself a developer. I wasted a long time gaining the courage to join a bootcamp but I hope you don’t make the same mistake because for me, it was the best I thing I could do for myself.

LearningFuze is an amazing program with quality instructors. The coursework is challenging (but fair), and designed to help students obtain a solid foundation in coding.

Going into LearningFuze, I had a few years of experience with HTML and CSS. I was... Read More quickly humbled by the amount of new material the program was able to teach. Though it seems that Web Development is a vast and endless ocean of things to learn, the instructors have a very thorough way of teaching. With a strong focus on the fundamentals, students such as myself were able to pick up newer technologies much more efficiently.

My cohort had the unique experience of having to transition from an in-person classroom to online learning (due to the COVID-19 pandemic). On both ends of the spectrum, we were still able to receive a top-notch education. I was pretty amazed by how seamless the transition was, and how dedicated the instructors were to teaching despite the situation.

Overall, I’m very happy with my decision to join LearningFuze. I feel like I have gained a lot of experience, learned a lot of code, and have met so many new people. If you’re having thoughts about joining the program, I highly recommend visiting an info-session to get started.

Before entering bootcamp, the only experience I had with coding/programming was taking the basic introductory courses through Code Academy. As I became more interested and wanting to change my career towards a path in web development, I knew the best... Read More approach to become a developer quickly would be attending a bootcamp. Still, the challenging part is choosing which one? Well, look no further as the three-month full immersion program at LearningFuze will teach you everything you need to become a proficient junior developer.

Throughout the course, it amazes me how much I learned within the three months, such as React, Bootstrap, jQuery, SQL, core JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and many other tools. Not only do you learn these fundamentals, but apply what you learned by creating small projects. The program is intense, but you are not alone as you will be in the trenches with your other cohort mates who are going through the same. Importantly, the instructors are there to help and want to see you succeed. (do not be shy in asking questions) Again, I am confident LearningFuze is the bootcamp to attend to if you wish to pursue a career path in web development or tech. If you are still hesitant, attend the info session and the prep course to get a feel of the environment and what you will be learning.

My experience with LearningFuze was amazing, the course is no joke and is going to turn you turn you into a programmer. When I started the program I didn't even know what React was and now I build most of my projects out using it. The instructors really... Read More go out of their way to make the course enjoyable and get you unstuck. If you have are having thoughts about a career in web development but aren't sure, start with the prep classes, get a feel for what it really is and make your decision. On another note, LearningFuze takes time to help you restructure your resume and prepare you for developer interviews. I have no complaints the course has been super enjoyable for me, and I am looking forward to a career in tech.

LearningFuze is a quality bootcamp that is relational, thorough in their teaching, and valuable in resources that you need to become a good developer. As someone who had little to no computer programming experience before going into this course, I have... Read More to say that LearningFuze and it's incredible staff have helped me begin my developer journey STRONG. I started by going to one of their free info sessions in October 2019, then took their Root One (Intro to HTML and CSS) and Root JS (Intro to JavaScript) courses in November 2019 and December 2019 respectively. I then signed up to take their Full Immersive Course that ran from February 2020 to May 2020 (the program is usually 12 weeks, but we received an extra week as we had to switch to remote due to COVID-19).
 
LearningFuze ought to be one of the top bootcamps to consider if you want to attend one in the near future. Their dedicated staff, intensive & thorough curriculum and their environment as a whole have given me the tools, mindset, and network that I need at the start of this developer journey. You will spend three months full-time learning and coding 8-10 hours a day (mostly in individual but also in group environments), work on two hackathons and various projects to grow your front-end (we worked with HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, etc.) and back-end development (we worked with Node.js, npm, express, PostgreSQL, etc.). You will also learn how to develop good soft skills and networking habits.
 
It is now week 11/13 of my course, and I have to say that I have learned so much, and will continue to learn after the program! We are about to start our final projects for the course, and I am excited to work with classmates in my cohort who I have walked alongside with during this bootcamp journey. 
 
I will leave you with this story and point:
 
At the beginning of this course, all of the LearningFuze staff introduced themselves to our class. During their introduction, the Operations Director, Bill, told us that as a staff, they are committed to us in helping us start our developer journey. As it is now close to the end of this course, I can confidently say that they have proved their word time and time again. Most of us (if not all) have left our jobs to pursue being developers. And LearningFuze has recognized that and tries the best they can to walk alongside us and provide what we need. 
 
Like all of the other reviews that are on here, I am just another one telling you how great of an organization LearningFuze is. Although I can't speak for those that already had computer programming experience before this, maybe you are like me who wanted to learn to program. Go check them out if you're going to go to a Web Development Bootcamp!
 
 TLDR - LearningFuze is a quality bootcamp that committed to begin, grow, and strengthen you as a developer!
