| | Bryan Castleman | The pros of attending the Coding Bootcamp at UCLA Extension were that it was a good value for the price. Will I make that tuition back in income. Yes. It was a 6-month part-time program that worked along with my Full-time job. There is access to education from across the nation, from other faculty members and students attending bootcamps by Trilogy. The program allowed me time to do homework, build applications, and to solve problems. The teachers along with the career development personnel and the program managers were qualified. I also enjoy the alumni support and the community of graduates.
The program was a Full Stack Developer program plus more. We learned Responsive Design and multiple databases. We learned Git, Node.js, MySQL, Firebase, MongoDB, HTML, CSS, Javascript, Express.js, React, and some Vue.js, plus more. We also learned how projects as a team on Github.
I also have benefitted from the amount of materials that I still have to review such as videos, a slack forum full of links, powerpoint presentations, classroom lectures, and coding homework and exercises.
I was able to finance the cost of my tuition through Sallie Mae and through UCLA Extension, which was something that I preferred to a private lender with higher interest rates.
I don't really have any cons. I think that any problems that I had getting hired were personal problems. All of the advice I received was great. They never overpromised anything. I thought they actually underpromised and over-delivered. |
