V School

V School is fantastic! Everything from the self-paced program to the incredibly relevant curriculum and amazing instructors is there to help you achieve your goal of learning the skills you need to pivot into tech. The student network is vast and diverse... Read More allowing you to connect with so many unique and intelligent individuals in a daily basis. The Career Prep side of everything is so intentional and powerful that it could be it’s own course. Your Student Success Mentor is your guide to go from eager student to working professional. I’ve had the opportunity to work with wonderful SSMs, instructors and students throughout my time in the Web Development course and look forward to continuing these relationships now that I’ve graduated. If you’re looking for the right bootcamp for you, look no further.

I graduated V School in 2018 and as I reflect back to my experience I'm overwhelmed with gratitude. It took me 4 months to land my first job, started out with a 60k salary and within a year earned over 6 figures. I was able to do so because of the things... Read More I learned at V School. The robust curriculum provided me with a solid foundation and helped expand my knowledge in software development. The community and the staff are awesome and genuinely want you to succeed. Attending V School was one of my best decisions and I highly recommend it!

I absolutely love V School! Every staff member I've interacted with there has been amazing. Tony is so helpful with any kind of problem you have. Even though he's the VP, he treats you as if you're the most important person, and he will graciously give... Read More you whatever time and help you need. Debbie is the most warm, friendly, and knowledgeable person. She loves V School and makes sure your experience there is nothing but perfect. She takes time for you, encourages you, and helps you in any way she can. The people at V School are top-notch and will prepare you for an extremely successful career. They set you up to reach, and even exceed, your goals, and will do anything in their power to help you succeed and be happy there. They'll stay with you until you land a great job as well. Their system is not the traditional cookie cutter process. They operate with a Responsive learning method, which caters to your individual needs and learning styles. V School will set you up with all the skills you need for a very successful career, and not just for holding a degree in your hand.

My time at VSchool was fun and very educational, but the experience isn't enough for most graduates to land a job in web development. Every employee was working very hard and they did an amazing job at solving students' needs, every teacher stayed after... Read More and put in extra effort to help you understand the course content. Here are some pros: Mo made a great community/invited guest speakers, the school is in a decent location, and housing is provided, you can rent computer equipment, and the buildings are clean. I definitely felt they replicated a modern tech company environment and I was happy to be coding everyday with other people who shared the same passion as me. Although I was very disappointed in knowing every instructor had been a Vschool student, I was generally happy with the school. I became more disappointed when after 6 months of completing the course I couldn’t get past the first round of interviews for any job, and I'd only be considered for Jr. positions or less (internships/apprenticeships). Honestly, I was expecting more opportunities - especially since I moved to a big city. After a year I interviewed with 2 unpaid internships, 3 paid apprenticeships, and 1 Jr. role - 6 positions in total within 12 months. With VSchool's best intentions most graduates should expect to be working a non-tech related job for at least a year after completing the course, and be continually improving their skills by looking for internships and studying free online courses until they're employable, especially if they don't have a background in tech. Do not expect job offers for at least three months after graduation, even if you’re working diligently.

Graduated from this coding bootcamp in January and got a job offer after a month, which was such a crazy achievement for me and I couldn't be more grateful to this school for helping me achieved that.

The shcool has a top-notch curriculum and they constantly... Read More update their contents to catch up with today's technology.The instructors demonstrated their expertise in the field of technology, and are willing to go the extra mile as to work on the weekends just to help students catch up with their assignments and doesn't hesitate to refresh when a student does not grasp certain concepts and methodology (shout out to Nate, Marcus and Ben - thank you for being patient with me throughout my coding journey)

I truly appreciate the time that I had spent here and without it I wouldn't be where I am today. My best 2 cents for you is to invest in yourself as well as your career since it is never considered as a bad investment.

The product this company brings to Utah is absolutely top notch. The mindful teachers and other cooperative faculty work hard every day to provide an excellent learning experience. The skills I have learned here about Website Development surpass anything... Read More I could have learned at a traditional 4-year University. Choosing this school may have been the best decision I have ever made to seriously change my career path. I feel well set up for my career as a Web Dev.

My journey into a full stack dev boot-camp was interesting, if not somewhat discouraging to start, but lets start at the beginning… I began my journey at Helio Training. I attended for a week and 3 days, in which time I felt very lost and like it was... Read More me that wasn’t grasping on to what was being spoken about. It was like there was no set curriculum to follow and pass off. I felt confused and frankly, sorta pissed off. My intuition was firing hard and screaming at me to look beyond the scope and take an interview with another full stack school that has all the values and essentials one needs to pursue this endeavor. After reading countless review boards and write ups, I found my nest. V-SCHOOL!!! I won’t lie, boot-camps are tough! BUT, you CAN do it! Not only can you do it, but you can really extend your network beyond the boot-camp and really reap the rewards of all V-School has to offer. This extends far beyond the core-curriculum (which I might add is ON-POINT and I am highly impressed given I have the perspective). The lectures are straight-forward and classrooms are immaculate. From the chair up, truly, three cheers for the best ergonomic chair award that i’ve ever encountered at ANY school! A dual monitor to plug into that moves up and down, etc. The instructors give their lecture live (writing code and showing you what it is doing in real-time) on the big screen while students follow along a very well written topic outline (that later can be referenced for the assignments). I am so grateful I followed my gut. I feel so motivated and like I am in the right place now that truly cares about their students well-being and success. The instructors KNOW what they are talking about. When you ask a question, it gets answered and in a way that you understand. Again, this 3 month venture is going to be strenuous, mind-bending and rigorous, but the end results are clear. 7 students just last month received internships with Adobe, multiple others with other companies both local and out-of-state. These are facts and V-School stands behind their word that they will get you to the next step. It’s all about what YOU want and how hard YOU want to work to achieve this end result. The student:instructor ratio makes everything amazing as far as asking for help and getting 1-on-1 attention. They never make you feel dumb or scared to ask for help. You feel like you are part of a family at V-School. Families take care of each other and the V-School Fam is no different. Student housing is a mere 2 blocks away (Brigham Apartments)**amazing location**, eliminating the need for public transit. There are endless places to eat and grab whatever you need within a .5 radius in every direction. The vibe is radiant and the aesthetic.. Well, let’s just say I was sold the moment I walked off the elevator. It’s eccentric and modern, yet nestled in the heart of downtown salt lake, the location “buzzes” like a hive (hypothetically, all the lights are LED panels). If you are thinking of pursuing a boot-camp for Full Stack Javascript or UI / UX, don’t pass up the opportunity to see for yourself what being a member of the V-School Family is all about. I am so grateful I did. I feel at home. I’m confident in my instructors ability to make sure we ALL understand the concepts. I am truly “getting IT”. BONUS!! V-School provides yoga twice per week to ease the spirit and decompress the mind & body. Their parking is amazingly convenient and safe. The staff is wonderful, I am so happy with my decision to invest in my future at V-School. I know I made the right choice. Thanks V-School! Happy Coding!!!

V School changed my life. As a military veteran and freelance web developer, I came into the program with some experience but I wasn't prepared for how much better I was at the end. Within a month of graduating I got hired with a Salary I honestly would... Read More only dream about. Not only do they team how to be an amazing developer, but they also cultivate you as a person and a professional. The staff are all absolutely wonderful. Best experience of my life.
