Zuitt

I just heard from my friend that Zuitt is one of the best online boot camps out there so I tried joining them and I never expected that Zuitt boot camp will be one of the best experiences I ever had. Zuitt just proved that they are really one of the best... Read More out there. They gave me more than my expectation and I'm very satisfied with what I've learned at the end of the boot camp.

My stay in this coding school was short but sweet. In just three months we were able to cover 2 common developer stacks that are in-demand in the job market. This is one thing I appreciate about this school because they always try to update their curriculum... Read More to what is current and in-demand. In fact, the last stack we tackled which is MERN helped me land a job as a React developer. I would also like to commend the instructors who made learning fun by creating activities that enabled us to work effectively alone and together which is what we would face in a real working environment once we get a job. Lastly, I would like to thank Zuitt for giving me the chance to enroll in the study now, pay later program. I was able to shift smoothly from my previous non-developer role to being a full-stack developer since it helped my finances when I decided to attend the day class for 3 months. I just hope that they improve their partnerships with other companies regarding recruitment so it will be easier for the students to find jobs right after finishing the program.

Zuitt Bootcamp is very valuable to me as a career shifter. I only have a little bit of knowledge when I started the Bootcamp. My ability right now is not as expert as others, but with the experience that I gain after the course, I have now the skills... Read More to start on my path and become a web developer. I also acknowledge the instructor for the mastery of the topic. You will learn a lot from them:). This career teaches me to learn more and never give up. Trust the process and always be determined. Overall, I really enjoy my experience at the Bootcamp.

PROS: * A lot of learning and you can apply immediately what you have learned. * You have a portfolio and projects to show to employers when you apply to them. CONS: *Right now, it is virtual teaching which sometimes makes you unmotivated when you are... Read More just at home. Before covid, it isn't virtual.

Pros: They have an extensive list of technologies, the MERN stack included, that they teach you to help you be a well-rounded full-stack developer. The instructor, mine at least, is very patient in solving and explaining to you the problems whenever something... Read More goes wrong on either your code, the software that you're working on (e.g., lots of errors thrown on the terminal) or the web apps/websites themselves that you're working on. At the end of the program, they will have helped you create at least three projects (the capstone projects) that are worthy of showing to future job interviewers. Career advice is also emphasized; we had several sessions where the career advisors discussed about different matters regarding job hunting and job interviews in the tech industry. Also, apparently, they offer you some short courses after you finish the main program to help you widen your knowledge in software development. Lastly, with their program currently being a full-time online class this pandemic, I had a very comfortable time learning as I didn't have to worry about commuting and arriving to a physical class or having to wake up very early, among other things. Cons: In my opinion, some short exercise activities are repetitive in such a way that sometimes, you can just copy a piece of code from a previous exercise, tweak it a bit, and you're basically done for that exercise. It's because the style of their teaching is that you build a web app/website while you're learning bits of concepts step by step. This means there will be similar patterns between the codes you write between these short exercise activities for every session. I would have perhaps preferred a more diverse set of exercises that don't relate with each other too much so that copying of code is not going to work, and will really force you to think of how to do the exercises. Also, for being a Philippine-based bootcamp, I have always thought that the tuition fee (for coding bootcamps in general anyway) is pretty expensive just because, in the past, I went to another short-course review school (but in a completely different field), which I think is very similar to bootcamps, and the difference in their tuition fees is enormous. Otherwise, if you've got a lot of money to spend, it's definitely worth enrolling in Zuitt despite the cons I have mentioned.

Zuitt provides a good curriculum that tackles every fundamental tool you need to start a career as a developer. Other than the learning, you also get to experience the camaraderie that comes with having classmates around. I was able to land my dream role... Read More because of this bootcamp!

Zuitt coding bootcamp help me learned the fundamentals of web/software development which helps me on my current job today as a junior web developer. They will try to build you from ground up or from no knowledge to have the ability to build your own web/software.... Read More But always remember that you have to be proactive at the same time and practice on your own.

I was trying the "self-taught" route in web development before I found this program. There were a lot of hurdles and distractions when trying to learn web development by yourself. Having a mentor and being around others who are trying to learn web development... Read More was very valuable to me. This program will help you become job-ready. You won't be an expert web developer once you graduate, but you will be good enough to have a solid foundation to work on as you go through your career as a software developer.

Learned a lot in the bootcamp. It helped me understand all that I needed to start a developer career. I was able to create a good portfolio which landed me a great job! It laid a good foundation for me that I can build up on. The curriculum covered basic... Read More html to creating microservices using MERN. React is a very in-demand framework to know in the industry. On top of that they also taught us Laravel which is another famous framework. All in all, I enjoyed the learning experience. I was able to use what I learn in my work.

The bootcamp's location will be the place where you'll be spending a significant amount of time while studying. The curriculum may be one of the best (if not the best currently in the Philippines) but the staff, location, and facilities are important... Read More factors that a potential student should look into while studying. My top 7 Cons: (1) Limited places to buy food unless you're willing to walk farther than usual, (2) Internet connection problems happen often, (3) Computers took a long time to boot up, (4) IDs provided for students were just a piece a paper (not a big deal but still a huge con for me), (5) At the time, we couldn't see what grade we got from each activity given, (6) One of our substitute instructors kept giving motivational phrases frequently which kind of is annoying (also not a big deal), and (7) Classroom temperature varies everyday (too hot, or too cold). My top 7 Pros: (1) Both available class locations (Makati City and Quezon City) at the time were accessible via the MRT train, (2) Seminars to prepare for job applications (resume making, job interview, technical exam preparation), (3) There are areas that students can eat in during breaks, (4) Microwave for heating food, (5) Clean toilets with bidet, (6) Staff are hygienic and professional, (7) You can wear a casual attire, and (Bonus) My instructor is the best (don't argue with me). Note: Since it's been over a couple of years since I've studied here. The cons mentioned here were hopefully addressed. Your experience will be greatly affected by who your instructor is. Hopefully you consider this bootcamp since it really helped me jumpstart my career in web development
