Rocket Academy

Instructors were extremely helpful and knowledgeable in teaching what they were tasked to do, and often went above and beyond to help us implement additional features into our projects (even if they were out of syllabus)! The entire experience was extremely... Read More fulfilling and I recommend this for everyone who is seeking to make a career switch into becoming a developer! You have to be determined and ready to go above and beyond in order to really get the most out of this experience, and the instructors will be sure to guide you along!

The content provided was good for people who want to start learning how to code. Be it for fun or for a career switch. The lessons are fun and engaging till our class decided to not even take breaks. Would recommend to people who want to challenge themselves.... Read More For the cons. I'd like to address one thing would be to update the videos of the pre-class to it's current content. Some of the locations of files provided cannot be found or not easily assessable.

iafter the fundamentals course and it was definitely a worthwhile pursuit. The programme immersed students in problem solving and collaboration, and simulated workplace scenarios as far as possible. The post-bootcamp career support was run the CEO personally... Read More who chased down every lead and gave personalized attention to every graduate.

Very practical curriculum, detailed and informative. As someone who desires to be a software engineer, Rocket Academy provides a very good place for you to learn where instructors will guide you in industry standards and norms that even computer science... Read More degrees don’t teach. Not only limited to what is provided, they also encouraged me to explore and expand my knowledge trying new technologies and guiding me along. Post bootcamp was also very good, weekly job scrum to catch up on what was done during the week in terms of interviews and feedback on how to do better to secure that SWE job! Overall a very good experience and would defiantly recommend!

Did a fulltime SWE Bootcamp with Rocket Academy (FTBC 10). Loved the structure of the course and the materials provided, which covered frontend and backend skills (React, PostgreSQL, Sequelize, HTML, CSS, JS etc.). The projects really help in learning... Read More how to work with other developers as well as how to bring an project from ideation to development and completion. But I think one thing that really stood out to me was the support in the job search phase. A well-connected and supportive alumni network really helps to get new graduates hired, especially with a tough job market currently (Jun 2023). Would highly recommend if you're considering a career switch to tech!

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!
