LearningFuze

My time at LearningFuze has probably been one of the best experiences of my life. It's not just about what you learn (and you learn SO much), but about every other aspect of your life also changing and growing with you as you do. I feel that it has somehow... Read More shaped me into a much more well-rounded version of myself, in the short 12 weeks that I have been here, for the full-immersion.

Let's talk TECHNICAL: That's why you're here, isn't it? What will I learn, how will I learn it, and will it actually work?! Suffice to say, the answer is: you will learn a lot of relevant, useful coursework/material, you will learn it in the most efficient and effective way possible, and you will most certainly be able to apply it to the real world in order to find an actual job.

The support at LearningFuze is really what it's all about. Yes, you will absolutely learn everything you need to know in order to become a full-stack developer and land a career in tech. However, you will also have guidance and support, as well as some much-needed nudges/encouragement in the right direction. They won't spoon-feed you here, you need to put in the work and effort to actually learn. However, they will be there with you for every question, concern, or difficulty you come across. I did so much research before finally choosing this bootcamp, and highly recommend visiting for a info-session to personally experience how kind and nurturing (yet also motivating) this environment is as well as the instructors/fellow students.

LearningFuze operates like an actual working developer environment, and teaches you the skills (technical, behavioral, and social) that you need to become a real developer. The support doesn't just end once you graduate the program. I still see alumni (including already full-time employed alumni) working here every day as they continue to use/receive support for building up their portfolio, and preparing for job interviews/job offers.. and some come around just to work and be here. I personally love LearningFuze!

I came into LearningFuze with zero knowledge of coding. I was so scared that I wouldn't be able to code anything. But now that I'm nearing the end, I learned more than I would've if I self-taught myself code.
I never thought I would receive a huge support... Read More from staff at a school like LearningFuze. Right from the beginning they have lectures from the basic HTML/CSS to networking to interviewing for a position. The staff work with students to get them to their goal line.
I learned so much from LearningFuze. Day by day we are reminded of our foundation and the instructors make sure that we know our foundation in JavaScript. The instructors are at hand to answer any questions and help with any debugging.
The style of teaching is very enjoyable. I look forward to going to LearningFuze every day and love every moment there. I would highly recommend going to LearningFuze if you're looking for a fun but very insightful experience with coding.

I had been looking at bootcamps for well over a year, with no clear indication as to what program would best suit my style of learning. More importantly, it wasn't clear which program was going to give me the best opportunity to find employment afterwards.... Read More When I attended an info session regarding LearningFuze, I had an inclination that this school was the right opportunity for me. I feel as though my exposure to the school was unique in that I participated in the part-time program prior to committing to the full immersion program. It gave me the perspective of learning at a different pace, more self study as opposed to in class drinking-from-the-fire-hydrant .

If you are looking for a strong culture that supports a collaborative experience, this is certainly a school worthy of your consideration. Furthermore, the instruction and variety of supportive staff members was paramount in finding solutions when I felt stuck. The curriculum feels current and within the demands of the current industry in the Orange County area. Alongside that, they are constantly working with the tech community on projects, meetups and other networking related opportunities. If you're on the fence about attending, I recommend you come to an info session and investigate further, it won't disappoint!

Going through LearningFuze has been one of the most "worth it" experiences of my life. Between the network of passionate students and alumni, the dedicated teachers and staff, and amazing career services provided, attending students are supported 100%... Read More of the way through their journey to become a junior developer.

Having done a fair bit of programming before entering, I was initially on the fence about entering a program like LearningFuze, thinking I could make it by learning on my own. However, the experience of going through this program has helped me grow stronger both as a developer and as a person more so than I could have alone. Every day I walk into class, I know I will be surrounded by people who are dedicated both to learning and to helping each other learn. The curriculum is well-paced, as every day you are facing a new challenge designed to help you understand the fundamentals of programming, while also learning in-demand skills and technologies for developers.

I highly recommend LearningFuze to anyone looking to start their coding journey! Everyone there wants to see you succeed and will support you every step of your way there.

The experiences that I have had at LearningFuze are unlike anything I've ever had in a traditional education system. They've exceeded my expectations in every way, and shown me that it's possible for anyone to program if they put their mind to it.

The... Read More 12 week full immersion program has been a whirlwind to say the least. The curriculum is heavily focused on teaching programming fundamentals to ensure that every student has a solid foundation to learn and grow. The support system is great, and the staff genuinely wants every student to succeed. The staff encourages constant curiosity and critical thinking to further your understanding of programming as a whole. The program is challenging, but you will always have support from the staffl, and your cohortmates.

I found that the program has a great mixture of guidance/structure and creative freedom. There are projects and exercises designed to teach you how to approach different programming principles, but they also allow you to take the ideas you have and run with them. When you're learning new things and realizing your potential, the world is your oyster. Additionally, I particularly liked the tech stack that LearningFuze focuses on, as it is relevant to what companies in the area are looking for.

Lastly, I think one of the most important aspects that someone should consider when it comes to selecting a bootcamp are the career services. This is why I ended up choosing LearningFuze over other bootcamps in the area. They offer robust career services that you probably won't find with other bootcamps. Bill and TJ make it a point that yes, the technical part of the bootcamp is a large portion of what you're paying for, but you will never get hired if you cannot land an interview. The ultimate goal is to be employed as a developer or engineer, and they know that. They regularly have workshops for LinkedIn profiles, resume writing, mock interviews, etc. to teach you what employers are looking for and how you should approach searching for a job. Those are skills that are invaluable, and people pay a lot of money for career coaching alone.

So, is LearningFuze worth the investment? Without a doubt, yes. The technical and soft skills that you will leave with make it worth the investment.

If you choose to come to LearningFuze, you will be immersed in an incredibly supportive environment. The instructors at LearningFuze are knowledgeable and helpful. The curriculum is structured in a way that caters to students at every skill level. Each... Read More concept is introduced in manageable chunks and reinforced through structured exercises.

At the end of the program, you will not only have extremely solid programming fundamentals but also arguably the most important skill in a developer's toolkit: the ability to teach yourself. LearningFuze teaches you how to teach yourself. You will learn how to confidently read documentation and code, and figure out problems so that you can succeed in the future.

The environment at LearningFuze is awesome. There is a reason that Alumni constantly check back in. You are always surrounded by like-minded, passionate students and other knowledgable developers.

If you are on the fence about coming to LearningFuze, just attend an info session. LearningFuze puts absolutely no pressure on you to enroll in the program. They want you to succeed and will answer any questions you have.

The 12 week full-immersion program at LearningFuze provided me with a very thorough education in full-stack web development. Even as someone with very limited background in writing code, I feel like the program has really taught me to understand the fundamentals... Read More of programming. I started the program in August 2019 and I can absolutely recommend LearningFuze as an excellent bootcamp! As someone wanting to find a career in web development, I found the career services at LearningFuze to be a great part of the program. All throughout the course, there is a huge emphasis on the job search process, which provides a ton of value in not just becoming a developer, but also a professional, which I feel has helped to prepare me for getting into the industry. The curriculum is intensive and challenging, but the instruction is really engaging and you are encouraged to learn by building projects which really teaches you programming at a fast pace. There are instructors available to provide help at virtually any time, so you don’t get stuck for too long and can keep moving forward. I would have never thought I could learn so much material in such a short amount of time, but the program really pushes you to get the most of those 12 weeks. Also, the learning environment that LearningFuze provides for students is very collaborative and welcoming. The staff, alumni, and other students are all very helpful, which makes the experience of learning web development easier. Overall, I can confidently say my experience at LearningFuze has been incredible and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to learn programming.

The Full Immersion program at LearningFuze is no joke. It will test your determination and cram so much information into you that you will slowly begin to feel like you're drowning in it. While that may sound like a terrible time, I'd like to say how... Read More much I actually enjoyed this program and how much knowledge I actually gained out of it. The instructors here are top notch and they are available all day (which I felt was very important) to help you with all things coding related. If you truly feel like you require help, they are always here for you, but most importantly, they will never give you freebies. Instructors will make you work for your answers and want you to come to a solution yourself. I believe this helps you to become a better programmer and problem-solver in general. I'm not going to lie, you will be frustrated. You will feel overwhelmed and stressed at times, but you should realize that struggling means you're learning. I'm a week and a half away from graduating here and the people I've connected with, and the abilities I've gained exceeded my expectations. I came into the bootcamp starting to code only a month prior to the full-immersion program starting and I feel like I've learned so in the past 3 months. More importantly, I feel like I can learn other languages that weren't covered in the program because this program has built such a strong foundation of coding knowledge within me. If you're looking for a bootcamp that'll allow you to leave with the skills of a junior developer and the ability to learn new languages to better yourself as a developer, look no further. This is it!

I thought it was going to be hard picking which coding boot camp I wanted to go too. Went to the info session, talk to some of the students and knew, then and there, this school was the one. They made teaching you different languages/libraries and tools... Read More in a short amount of time make sense. The staff here at learning fuze are so helpful. They don’t just teach you how to code but they teach you how to get a job, interviews, whiteboard, network and build your portfolio. Currently on my last 2 weeks here and I’m actually sad to leave. This place is awesome.

Choosing to attend LearningFuze has been one of my greatest choices in life. I am currently in week 10 out of 12 and can create useful web applications. If you told me 3 months ago that I would be able to create applications from scratch, I would never... Read More have believed you. However, here I am 3 months later and I am proud of what I have accomplished.

Here is a list of reasons why you should consider LearningFuze.

1- Instructors

The instructors are amazing! They have worked previously as developers and have the knowledge and experience of what it takes to get into the market. They will not let anyone fall behind. If you feel that you might grasp concepts a little slower than others, do not worry, they offer tutoring sessions for those that need it. Most of them are available before and after hours monday through friday. Additionally, they often come on Saturdays and offer help online over the weekend.

2- Curriculum

The curriculum is great! The curriculum is based on technologies that a majority of employers are looking for in a web developer. The program will teach you both front end and back end technologies. Not only do you work on solo projects, you also work on projects as a team. This will prepare you for a real job where most likely, you would be placed on a team of developers.

3- Career Services

They do not leave you in the dust after finishing the program. Their success comes from the success that their student achieve when finding jobs. They are motivated and offer plenty of resources on how to land a job. They will prepare you for interviews by practicing whiteboard problems, performing mock-interviews, and creating a well structured resume. They help create a LinkedIn profile and GitHub to show off to employers. Also, they host job fairs and bring in developers from prestiged companies to give us tips. During my time here, they brought in a developer from Blizzard and it was cool hearing his experience and how he got there.

There are many more reasons to choose LearningFuze but these are the ones that set it apart from the rest. I drive 65 miles each way to attend this program and it is more than worth it. It really is as good as the reviews are.
