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.

Attended both coding basics then coding bootcamp...
