| | Michael | After graduating from college with a degree in Psychology and picking up a sales job, I knew that I had to make a change.
I had always liked coding, so I looked into the Boston bootcamp scene and stumbled across Launch Academy.
Launch has you complete an 8 week, fast paced introduction to coding that requires about 20 hours a week of work. This prepares you for their intensive 10 week program, which culminates in two projects that you can be proud of, and a skill set that makes you an ideal candidate for an entry level job.
The stack they teach you, a React front end with a Rails back end is a commonly used stack in the current web development space and will set you up for success.
The most important thing to mention, however, is the incredible state of their teaching staff (Experience Engineers). These people truly care about what they do. They work hard to make it an environment where one can ask questions, but also one in which you develop self-reliance and and an ability to challenge yourself. I've never had such dedicated teachers in any space.
Additionally, while you're learning the technology, their career services staff are helping you to improve your resume, linkedin, and interviewing skills. Once you graduate, they help connect you with their hiring partners and keep you in check in the job search.
Overall, couldn't be happier with my choice to attend Launch Academy. |
