Rocket Academy

As I have no prior experience with coding, I found the course to be very well structured and very informative despite the seemingly low number of in-class sessions. The materials provided for pre-class reading was excellent, and the in-class exercises... Read More we great at reinforcing what was learned in the pre-class reading/exercises. Our mentor for the lessons was also excellent, always willing to help guide us no matter how small the issue is, or what time of the day it is.

Best place to learn and understand programming for all. Great vibes and resources. Relevant skills are thoroughly covered by approachable instructors, in a systematic and progressive manner with great 24/7 support. Classes are taught live on zoom daily,... Read More which helps save a lot of travelling time.

The Basics is truly a basics course for absolute beginners - Which is exactly what I needed. You do need to make the effort to set aside time for this course as it is quite demanding to complete all the projects and exercises. However, it is definitely... Read More rewarding. The classes provide clear explanations and involve paired programming, which is a new experience for me. The on-demand videos that you have to complete each week, make it easy for an ongoing full-time employee to embark on their software journey part-time. FYI, I think the course for job support is the Bootcamp, not the basics.

The program offers a comprehensive learning experience for all but especially so for those who have zero knowledge of coding. They take great care to make sure that no one is lagging behind but still manage to cover enough content to make the course useful... Read More despite it just being a 6 weeks introductory course. The tutors were prepared for class and knowledgeable to answer the questions or to offer help where needed. There is a great community to join here that is super helpful and welcoming. The engagement for this course encourages students to attend class and to participate. All in all, I had a positive experience for the course and would recommend my friends to take it up for learning or an interest check in coding

Neutral - The course uses a flipped classroom format, so students should be comfortable figuring things on their own without relying too much on the instructors. Pros - The course is fully online and remote, makes it flexible for students to choose where... Read More to take the classes from. - Exercises are progressive in terms of difficulty, which eases the student into learning how to code and leads up to the projects assigned. - The concepts taught are not limited to a single programming language. Cons - The virtual setting of the course means there is little interaction between students before and after lessons. - Instructors come from different backgrounds and the way of teaching will differ.

Pros: A very hands-on course. Patient section leader who could guide very well for someone with zero coding knowledge. Love the fact that the school pair up those with some knowledge of coding and those with zero knowledge during the partner discussion... Read More session. It was really useful to hear the views from fellow classmates Cons: The pace of the classes is fast. Not easy to work and have sufficient time to go through the pre-class assignments week on week. But for those who could, it is very beneficial.

The Coding Basics is good for people without coding background. There are pre-class and in-class activities as well as pre-class modules and in-class discussions. The instructor assigned to me was very friendly and helpful with her suggestions with regard... Read More to making my code simple. I guess the only drawback is that they are still using ES5 to discuss and introduce Javascript but other than that, it's a good course to prepare you for an actual Bootcamp.

The curriculum has been set to cater to the specific profile of the student, be it full-time part or someone just doing the introduction to coding. The lecturer was very helpful and went out of his way to help any students who needed clarification. I... Read More would recommend Rocket academy to people as i can see that it is run by people who care about providing a rich education to people interested in coding and programming.

Rocket Academy's basic course was very well designed. Recorded videos, peer-reviewed in-class assignments and projects maximise for learning. I'd never have pegged myself as one who understands "computer stuff" let alone code. Rocket Academy certainly... Read More made that possible. Shout out to Porter who has been extremely patient and helpful. This was a fantastic experience. 110% would recommend!
