So, I did some research on available training out there. Skillspire stood to be amazing... Read More in terms of curricula, affordability, quality of instructors, etc. I tried Skillspire, and I liked it, and decided to complete both Full Stack web Development and Data Analytics programs.

Compared to Colleges instructors, Skillspire's do cut short, they teach me industry skills and make me become more competitive. Things like loops, functions, data structures, algorithms just seem to be a piece of cake. And I cannot believe I am able to get everything in a very short time.

Skillspire learning environment is fun and safe, instructors are great, and I believe because they all have rich industry and professional experience; they are so easy to understand, and they take time to handle students' queries.

I will definitely recommend Skillspire to anyone, students, professionals as well as to all refugees and immigrants who would love to get their feet in tech industry, make big income and change life.

Beyond training me, Skillspire staff provide me a wide range of employment services, as well as a wide network of tech professionals. From the beginning, I just feel like I have been in tech industry for years.

First things first. I really do not like to write reviews, and when I do I like to write. the review in the hope that it either encourages or constructively criticize the subject that I happen to be reviewing. With that said I would like to give my honest... Read More assessment of Skillspire a coding bootcamp in Bellevue, WA.

Skillspire was founded by Yasmin Ali, who created Skillspire to help those who cannot afford to attend college, but also, and I believe more importantly, to help people of marginally discriminated populations find technical work that they can build a life around. For this, I absolutely applaud her and Skillspire!

The instructors at Skillspire are absolutely top notch. They know their respective skillset inside and out, and they do not hesitate to share; with passion, humility and humor their knowledge and wisdom. In the 16 week course that I took we were challenged by countless interruptions (covid) throughout the course. The course started in January and ended in May, at first we had in person instruction, but of course we were forced to move online due to social distancing measures. My instructor Farhad, took it all in stride, held us all accountable and made sure to work with us individually during this difficult time. He was encouraging and helpful for each of us in class and personally, I will forever be grateful for his graciousness.

The Java course that I took was based on multiple projects building up to a final project that we were encouraged to team up for at the end. We also focused on using git, specifically GitHub for storing source code but also as a great tool for showcasing your skills in terms of coding and writing. We also focused on cloud computing for building full scale cloud based java applications. I went in to this course not knowing Java at all and came out absolutely confident in my ability to pass a coding interview in Java.

Currently I am looking for work as a software engineer and I have the upmost confidence that I will be able to get started on a new career adventure with ease thanks to Skillspire offering career building services. Terri Pauly is a godsend as a resume/interview coach. She knows her stuff and exudes passion when she is helping you find your dream job.

I would recommend Skillspire to anyone looking to create a better life by learning how to code. You will absolutely be in good hands.

I would highly recommend this course for anyone who either needs to improve their programming skills or simply wants to get into coding and learn the basics. And compared to other coding boot camps, it's much more affordable and also does a better job at covering only what you really need at a deeper level rather than trying to teach you everything at a more basic level.

I highly recommend this school to everyone!

Skillspire is a good place to start your knowledge on SDE, you will learn back end and front end technologies such as HTML/CSS/JavaScript/Node.js/Express and others, it won’t provide you a path to the job right away but if you will continue your self...

Read More instructor who while providing you with all the tools you need will let you work your own way to the solution. I saw people who have never even gone to a school course on computing start coding using the tools every other professional in full stack tech jobs use in just a couple of class days. I learned because the instructor gives you all the materials you need and a way to communicate via email and other tech, but this is a course you must study for and make time (maybe 30 minutes a day or an hour) on your own out of class to really stay on top. I would recommend this Boot Camp to my own family and friends because it is very much worth it, and it lead to me actually finding employment while enrolled.

Skillspire was on of the most important steps i had to take till i landed my current full stack developer job.
When i joined the school i knew a little bit of front-end languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) my goal was to add onto what i knew and become full... Read More stack developer eventually, the instructor (Farhad) was able to explain heavy code concepts to us in a simple way as well as showing us ways how to go about finding varies solutions for software issues, basically simplify things that are not easy to find online, during the class we were tasked to team up and work on projects (front-end / back-end), we also practiced allot on white board and how to pass an interview and building projects/resume for job hunt.
Here is link to my github profile to check out the projects i built while in school and after ( https://github.com/AAbdelraouf?tab=repositories )

After i finished the course i kept applying for jobs and a week later i got a job as a full stack software developer.
