Momentum

This was a great intro to web development, especially as a prep for the main immersion course. The instructor was very knowledgeable and helpful. We covered a lot but it was all manageable. We built a website our first day! We learned the basics of HTML,... Read More CSS, JavaScript and the terminal. Our teacher also gave us additional resources to research for further reading on each topics.

The immersive program is an ideal way to start a career as a software engineer. I had moved on from my previous job and was not having much success in figuring out what was next. I found Momentum and decided to take the dive. It could not have worked... Read More out better. While the prospect of an intense three months can be daunting, the way the curriculum designed and taught really helped me feel like I would be ready for my new career. The staff is amazing all around, but the career support and community/network that is built is probably the best part. There were people from all different professional and educational backgrounds in my cohort, some of us even starting from zero in terms of knowing code, and I feel that Momentum really put us in position to land our first jobs as a developer.

The Foundations classes were better than I could have ever expected. We covered A LOT in a short amount of time. Along with learning so many concepts, the instructors were more than helpful. Often times, they would go back over material or explain it... Read More differently just to make sure we fully understood what we were being taught. I’d recommend the Foundations classes to anyone looking to get a jump start on the basics of coding.

I came into the coding foundations class, with zero experience. I was simply looking to expand my knowledge base in my current career. as an SEO specialist This class prepared me with various tools to confidently talk and implement about simple website... Read More development pieces.

Quitting your job to start a new career is daunting, to say the least. I was considering code schools, but I was not feeling confident any of them would be worth my investment. A local developer suggested I look into Momentum, and those feelings quickly... Read More changed.

I am so glad that I invested my time and trust in the Momentum program! Here's why:
- Their curriculum is tailored to the needs of the local dev community. (They even have an advisory board whose members come from local start-ups as well as national companies.)
- The instructors are knowledgeable, supportive, and creative.
- The entire staff is genuinely invested in your personal success.
- Career support, starting week 1! (And continuing throughout your career.)
- Fantastic and diverse networking opportunities.

The program was very challenging and I felt well-supported the entire time. I graduated feeling confident that I could be a developer and that I could find a great new job. Thank you, Momentum!

I was lucky enough to be a part the first cohort of Momentum's Immersive course and I am extremely grateful I took that leap. This institution is one of the most supportive learning environments that I have ever had the pleasure of working in, the instructors... Read More and staff are knowledgeable, engaging and dedicated to the success of their students. The information presented in such a condensed amount of time is well researched and executed in a flow that is manageable despite being very challenging. My time at Momentum was spent not just filling in gaps in my programming knowledge but in making valuable connections in the local tech community. The efforts made during the immersive program help me every single day in my current position as a developer. I can't recommend them enough. This organization gives people the power to change their lives for the better and nothing is more valuable than that chance.

I was lucky to be a student of Momentum's first ever fully immersive cohort. I specialized in Ruby on Rails, but also got exposure to HTML, CSS, and vanilla Javascript. After the program finished, I received multiple job offers in less than 3 weeks of... Read More interviewing, which speaks volumes about Momentum's curriculum and networking program. One of Momentum's key differentiators is how well their team understands NC's local tech market. During the program, the team set me up with 20+ meetings with local employers and decision makers. Not only did I receive a solid foundation in software development, but I made several meaningful connections that could help me further down the road in my career. I couldn't be happier with my decision to enroll in Momentum's fully immersive program and I'd recommend it to anyone looking to become a software engineer in North Carolina.

I am very impressed with Momentum's Coding Foundations course! As a mid-level clinical researcher looking to transition my career to the technology industry this course was a perfect introduction to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The material is presented... Read More in a clear, concise manner with ample opportunities for practice, questions, and clarification. After comparing Momentum to other local coding bootcamps, it was a "no-brainer" to pursue the full immersive course!

I was very impressed by Momentum’s Foundations course. I learned much more than I expected about HTML, CSS and JavaScript in a short amount of time. The material for each class was carefully selected and well-taught. By the end of the course, I acquired... Read More the skills to make my own websites using HTML, CSS and JavaScript. I have learned enough so that I can access and understand online documentation and forum posts and build my skills further.

Momentum believes that anyone can learn how to code. I appreciated that the instructors were patient, encouraging, and never condescending. If you’re like me and have been frustrated by coding in the past, you’ll find that working with good teachers can make a huge difference.

I will be starting Momentum’s Immersive program on April 23rd. Based on my experience with the Foundations course, the Immersive program will also be very worthwhile. If you are considering changing careers or you would like to gain more technical skills, I would encourage checking out one of Momentum’s Meetups to learn more about their courses.
