Rocket Academy

Highly recommended. I took the Coding Basic course. It lasted for 6 weeks. Quite intense but overall still manageable for someone who doesn't have any experience with coding at all. If you have experience, they allocated more challenging exercises for... Read More you too. The exercises are well-paced, though they might be overwhelming with the short timeline. But it is definitely worth the time when the code works as you expected.

I have attended quite a few coding courses but there's nothing quite like this. An extremely well-designed course, every class makes me more motivated to learn to code and be a coder because we are always a step closer to where we want to be. Once we've... Read More learnt some concepts, we would have the opportunity to build real-world projects (a great way to be motivated is to always be crossing hurdles and overcoming challenges). I've gained a stronger foundation as a result of this course, and am even more fired up to learn even more to become a software engineer. One of the best things about this course is that we are always given resources and golden nuggets of tips to learn how to think better as a software engineer. This course allows me to gain great network as well.

I attended the basic course and I find it is a well structured and comprehensive beginner course. The trainers are very knowledgeable and were able to explain concepts and answer questions well. I like how the classes are set up with abit of teaching... Read More at the start and then more focus on practicals with interactions with our fellow students. The projects we worked on can cater to a broad range of abilities, with added levels of difficulty in additional tasks given to the projects.

was looking for a career switch into coding with zero knowledge of it. at first i was looking at general assembly and i got recommended by one of my friend that was a student in rocket's boo camp to give it a try. they have a free coding basics for us... Read More first timer to try before going on to the boot camp, which was a good start for me cause im new and dont know if coding is for me. overall i enjoyed my time learning coding with the lecturers and i had fun learning and coding. they made it easy to understand and was there to answer all the questions we have, even still overtime. 10/10 will recommend to try out the basic course if youre thinking of learning coding

I was hesitant when I first joined and at some point unsure if I can complete the projects as they seemed really hard. However, 6 weeks later, here I am graduating with 3 projects under my belt. The course materials are easy to understand BUT you must... Read More do your pre-class to understand before each session. The in-class helps to consolidate the concepts but will involve active participation on your end. The facilitators are great! Very friendly, encouraging and they seem to have an answer for everything! I will say its definitely not an "easy" course in the sense that you can't sit in the background and just be a passive observer. It requires time commitment to go through the material and do the pre-class (about 2-3hours per session for me) and you must participate in class. If you follow the programme and just put in the time, you will be able to finish it with a good understanding of JS, how to plan your code and github. Go for it!

Took up a basic coding course. The course was well planned out and the content was manageable in 6 weeks. The friendly instructors were great at explaining the different concepts and were patient in clarifying our doubts. The pair programming aspect was... Read More a good way to improve our coding skills and thinking, and also to meet like-minded people.

I attended online course on python last time on Coursera but there was no application to the theory being taught in class. Although I understood the concept, it was very easy for me to forget. As compared to that, Rocket Academy's class was very engaging... Read More even though it's online. I like how we had pre-class and in-class to optimise the time. most of the content are being covered pre-class in video format. Akira is very clear in explaining all the theory in the video. Bryan and Tristan then would explain further, and highlight important things and make sure that everyone understood. They were quick to help as well in our coding and spot any mistakes in our coding. Overall, really good! Would recommend this course to a friend (in fact already recommended to a friend)

Pros: Friendly and committed instructors and participants Well-structured contents and instructions Learning of Github and html and coding basics Know how to design interface Free-of-charge basic course Enhance problem solving skills Practice opportunities... Read More to code

The course was comprehensive and taught beyond a language's syntax but also how to organise the code to make it cleaner. Fun little projects were introduced to apply newly learnt concepts and it leaves us satisfied with how much we've learnt within just... Read More 6 weeks.

I've just attended their basics which was conducted free. If anyone is curious about coding and whether to deep dive into it, this is a good crash course to learn. Instructors were very forgiving, creating a very safe space for learning. Coding was fun... Read More and pair pogramming was really fun as well. We progress as a class and are able to learn from one another. If anything, the worse possible critic is ourselves, not others. The energy put into teaching and guiding us is something that cannot be paid for, and I am deeply grateful. Thank you Shannon & Frankie and everyone involved in making this happen.
