Rocket Academy

Graduated from the 4 months Software Engineering Bootcamp. Pros: - Curriculum was very practical. Students were taught the some of the latest frameworks and technologies widely used in the industry. - Great balance between lessons, project work, and exploratory... Read More time. - Instructors were friendly, encouraging and helpful. The instructors did their best to ensure the students got the most out of what they wanted from the bootcamp. - Post Bootcamp job support is helpful, not only practical support but also emotional support. Cons: - It is up to the individual student to set their own expectations and standards. Sometimes, the juggling between lessons, post-class and pre-class work can become challenging if students decide to do more than what is required and expected. - Slightly costly compared to other bootcamps available in Singapore. However, Rocket Academy is trying to secure government funding to subsidize the course.

Was recommended by my bosses and colleagues to consider this course over other bootcamps for a career switch as they personally know of successful graduates from here and found the syllabus highly relevant. Attended both coding basics then coding bootcamp... Read More and I would also highly recommend both courses to others who have keen interest to venture into web development and build up software engineering knowledge! Grateful for the additional consultations outside of class hours to help clarify concepts as well as learning together with similarly motivated peers throughout the journey =) I think the bootcamp has sufficiently prepared me for the first steps of my career conversion and given me the confidence to enter the tech industry.

Attended the Software Engineering Full Time Course (4-months) Pros: - Instructor was very friendly and encouraging throughout the course - Instructors made time and effort to help guide students along, without spoon-feeding the students - Curriculum was... Read More concise and course materials were easy to understand without too much jargon - Consisted of 4 projects to cement the concepts taught. Students had to create at least 2 full stack applications by the end - from scratch - Course is intense and will require alot of self-study and figuring out on your own part - you cannot be halfhearted in this endeavour - Lots of events and AMAs from industry experts - to get a glimpse of the tech world and help focus your career interests. - Fully remote classroom Cons: - Could have more breaks between the back-to-back projects - It is more expensive (now) than other courses out there, but they are trying to secure government funding to subsidise this cost. Overall a great experience for me, and helped me and others switch careers from a totally different field (Architecture) to Software Engineering.

Just finished the one-month Coding Basics course and I had so much fun! One will get a lot out of this course if they are willing to put in the hours doing the prep work and building projects. A major shout out to the instructors who are full-time software... Read More engineers but put in lots of efforts to help everyone understand the concept and debug our code. The class size started out slightly large (~20) at the start, but due to natural attrition it became a very management 10-15. :`)

Great! Attended the Basic course over a period of 6 weeks. Learn substantial amount of valuable knowledge, abeit could be quite stressful and tight on the schedule. The trainers, Shannon and Dilan, are outstanding and engaging. Always interesting to attend... Read More their lesson. Hope we have a chance to meet again!

Did the Coding Basics course. It's so thorough and covers a wide variety of topics. Most importantly, the facilitators are amazingly supportive in giving guidance and/or executing the rubber duck method in our learning. I truly did improve in my computational... Read More thinking through participating in this course, and picked up some basics of Javascript along the way. Be warned, it definitely is not a walk in the park. The curriculum is fairly rigorous, but that's where it shines, as it is a preparatory step towards their more advanced Coding Bootcamp course that is designed to groom individuals who wish to make a career switch to become Software Engineers.

Dedicated teachers, good course content, would recommend to others interested in learning coding. Good platform to kickstart a potential career in software engineering. Would want to continue on the main boot camp and learn more stuff about coding in... Read More general.

i attended the Rocket Academy Basics Course, overall i think it is a great starting point for me as i do not have any background in coding. this course materials and section leaders and assistant have been very helpful. the course materials are very informative... Read More and understandable. the section leaders and assistant were very supportive and responsive to our questions.

Its been a great time learning the basics of coding, computational thinking and simple Javascript with Rocket Academy. Its free and a pre-requisite for their Software Engineering Bootcamp, which speaks for the high level of students that get admitted... Read More to it. The penultimate project for basics was the blackjack game, which was by no means an easy feat to accomplish. Thanks for this great primer into Software Engineering!

I signed up for the Basic Coding course at Rocket Academy. I wasn't sure I would be able to finish it as I had zero coding experience but the knowledgeable, devoted and friendly Section Leaders - Kimmi and David - made it all possible. So much depends...
