V School

First, my cohort have 13 people in it and 4 or more of us are still unemployed/underemployed/employed in a different field.

Looking at VSchool's instagram, website, and ratings you get an unrealistic idea of what the curriculum, housing, student-body, and company will be like. VSchool made (makes) a lot of promises that they didn't/don't deliver on.

Pros and Cons

Teachers: Pros: They are caring and kind. They are willing to work hard to help you find the answers to your questions. They are fun to hang with. Cons: There aren't enough of them. I was promised a ratio of 1:3 max, in reality there was1 teacher for every 6-7 students. VSchool isn't a stable employer and let instructors go in the middle of sessions...on multiple occasions. They also allow instructors to take time off...

Going into this program has been one of the best life decisions I have made.
I absolutely enjoyed learning how to code, this course has been extremely informative.
Also, the staff at V School are welcoming, helpful, friendly and always available to chat and ask questions if you need to.

Very good practice and learning for angularjs and expressjs and front end development (css3 html5 javascript jquery and boostrap)

V school is really awesome. It is the right place where you can learn coding and to became a developer. It is hard and challenging but it deserves. V school deserves 5 stars and even more!
Thanks for all team,
Thanks Joe, Ben and Jacob.

Thank you V School

When I registered for the V-School Full-Stack course the only things I knew were HTML and CSS. But now I am glad to say that I graduated as Full-Stack JavaScript Web Developer, and it's all thanks to V-School, the curriculim is well written, also the way the way they teach you these new languages and frameworks is just perfect, and the thing that I liked the most about this course is the how they teach how to improve and learn new techonolgy on your own, which is really important because technology is constantly changing.

After more than 20 weeks of coding, finally I am v school graduate. The program that I was given was more intellectual than only being academic. This school with its curriculum and its instructors, with its style had altered my life to the better. Regarding the content of the course, I didn’t only learn how to code in java script and how to be a junior web-developer, but also how to have the problem-solving mentality, how to think logically and rationally, how to deal with everything as case and I get credits if I solve it, and how to get rid of all the fears. Also, regarding the way of teaching, this class thought me how to be dependent in my education and how to be committed to my education without having the stress of the grades and the stress of the exams. It taught me how to be not...

The instructor are awesome, I learned a lot of new technology and how to fix the issues

Thanks V school, Wonderful work and wonderful team .. I learned a lot through the course.
And you come from America to give us your wonderful experience.
I am very grateful to V school.

V school for me as a personal review and my experience with them is a 5 star rated educational program where you learn how to think and become a real programmer and a better future developer and team member or leader. Its a family of production in all the ways

The best experience I've ever had!,

Great teachers, Excellent course, V School is the place to be if you are willing to learn from the best!

I was in a dead end job with no great future prospects. I had a family that I was trying to support and couldn't see myself going back to school while trying to work and support my family at the same time until I came across V School. In 12 weeks I was able to get enough education to turn my life around and set me on a path with a great future where I would be able to provide for my family and be happy doing it. Thank you V School for helping me reset my life!

V school is really awesome. It is the right place where you can learn coding and to became a developer. It is hard and challenging but it deserves. V school deserves 5 stars and even more!!

True to their word, V School enabled me to transition into a really exciting career in technology. Id recommend V school to any one considering computer engineering as a career.

Deciding to take a full-time immersive with V School was seriously life changing! VSchools curriculum is top-notch and supported by industry professionals. The class was reasonably sized which allowed me a lot of one-on-one time with actual instructors. This is so valuable when learning to code. Everyone leaving the immersive programs are able to find jobs and the support of the staff was really good. The culture at VSchool is one of a team and I still feel like I can reach out to the staff and teachers for any questions or assistance I need. I did a lot of research before choosing a coding school and I am so glad I did. Having talked to fellow boot-campers that attended other Provo schools with huge class sizes, I see that my experience at VSchool was the best decision I've ever made. ...

This course was great, the teachers know their stuff and are very willing to work with you. You get out of the course what you put into it, it's hard but if you go there wanting to learn then it's worth every penny.

Not only am I a recent dev boot camp graduate, but I have had countless hours speaking with people from a variety of boot camps. I am left with mixed feelings. Almost every boot camp will promise that after you take their course, you will enter the industry as a Junior Developer. As good as their intentions may be, at the end of the day they are a business. Their business model revolves around selling you a skill, which is where it can get messy. There are so many factors that go into whether or not a student can successfully acquire said skill (e.g. student’s previous experience with programming, quality of the course material and teachers, the amount of time that the student invests outside of class to learn/review, personalities of all parties involved, a student’s natural skill/apti...

My prior knowledge to software development was 0% before I went to Coding Campus. The course moved fast, and took me through an incremental learning process which helped me understand each language and how to use them together. You must be 100% attentive to keep up.

There was available help from TA’s during class and on weekends. I attended TA help EVERY Saturday for 6-8 hrs to get the extra help I wanted to be as successful as I could. During class there was a lot of support for questions. The teacher spent adequate time answering these questions and still kept the class on track. We also used an app called "Hipchat" that students, teachers, and TA's used to communicate, answer questions and share code snippets with each other.

The other thing I enjoyed about this class is they t...

Coding Campus was great.
The curriculum was very focused on what you need to get a job as a web developer. Instead of teaching abstract concepts to a huge class of students going different directions with programming, Coding Campus teaches you what you need to know to get a job. You won't know everything, but you'll have a good foundation.

Most importantly, you feel like the people at coding campus are there for you. They are not there to grade you, they are there to help you. And they do a great job :)

Coding Campus was so good!

There were 9 people in my class. The pre-course work was structured in a great way, and was required to take the class. This helped it so we could really hit the ground running when we got to class. Everyone was on a good level. They had people from the industry come in often. I would recommend Coding Campus to anyone. They have a super good remote option too.

When I took the Coding Campus course over a year ago, they were still relatively new. They were still getting their curriculum polished, were changing the requirements of the course, and didn't have a solid final project ready for us. Even with the startup pains they were having, I still got hired as a junior developer and have been able to grow my skills and experience while making more money than I did in my previous advertising/marketing career.

Since then, I happen to know they've added a number of other classes, have a much more polished curriculum, and are much more project & practice based than they used to be. I hear amazing things from the current students, who are working on way cooler projects than I ever did, and who are leaving with a much strong skill set than I did. Th...

I had a great experience at CodingCampus. I left my job of several years in order to change careers. It was scary, but I felt that the staff really made a great effort in helping me learn what was needed to get a good job. With their help, I began interviewing for junior dev positions about 3/4 of they way through the program and am now receiving offers. I can't say enough about how they really helped me.

As far as cons, there was not a lot of structure early on in the class. I did not mind, and felt that it allowed me freedom to work as I pleased. However, there were a few students that wanted a more structured approach. CodingCampus heard and acted on the complaints, making the course more structured and even adding an additional instructor.

The people here are amazing. They have more knowledge than I could hope to gain in a life. You can definitely tell they're masters of their craft.

This has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. They are well structured, hard working, supportive, and make sure you get what you pay for. I wish I could be around these people longer than the 12 week course. They truly make you feel valued and accepted.

I'd done front end development for 10 years before joining Coding Campus to learn the backend development. It was an amazing experience. I learned amazing things, Built Awesome things, and as a result I'm now doing great things. I finished the course with a slew of interviews, many offering me nearly $20k more than I was previously making as a department manager at another tech company. Ultimately I chose to launch my own company building custom web apps and websites. It's been 8 months and I now employ multiple developers who have allowed me to grow this company into something great. Oh, and our flagship product is a web app I originally built as a Coding Campus student. If you are unsure about a Bootcamp, then to you I say 'Stop being a weenie! Just do it!' ;)

In the spirit of full disclosure, I was hired by Coding Campus after I completed the class, and am currently doing work for both coding campus and their sister development shop Verisage.

Coding Campus was an amazing experience. I had the chance to leave a career I was less-than-satisfied with (advertising/marketing) and move into a career with much better pay, much higher employment rates, and a lot more satisfaction and avenues into entrepreneurship.

The class is improving by the day. The people who run the class are always looking for ways to improve the curriculum, and we have some pretty lofty goals for making the class top-notch. When I took the class, we spread our time between learning Python as a way for solving practice problems and using it in project work in the Django ...

Long story short, I didn't know what what I wanted to do in life for the longest time, but knew I liked the idea of being a computer programmer and being able to have a say in whatever company I worked for. I was thinking about going back to college to get my BS in Computer Science, but with a family it was going to either be very straining on my relationships or take FOREVER! I found out about Coding Campus from a friends blog and told my wife that I was going to take the leap. It was the best decision of my life! I learned the basics of web development and now have a renewed passion for my future. Everyone needs to learn how to code and Coding Campus made it easy to learn.

Coding Campus gave me the building blocks to my future and I'm going to build like crazy!

My name is Heather and I am a perpetual student and am always in some kind of learning situation. After college it was a Masters degree - then a year later it was a 2nd Masters degree... Then it was Real Estate school, mortgage broker school, art school, and the list goes on, never feeling like I had yet to find my place in life... I finally decided it was time to decide what I wanted 'to be when I grew up' and my brother suggested I try coding. And, although I love computers, I thought he was nuts. He kept on me for about 6 months and in that time the idea sunk in more and more. I called another coding school in Utah and wasn't impressed with the gentleman I spoke with - and to me that is important. I had to call several times, leaving multiple messages and after seven days fina...
