i've tried Codeboxx MONTREAL, at first with minimum coding knowledge which is what they specify to you at first, but within the first weeks they throw you with no instructions in the deep waters, all they help you do is set up your working environment (Slack, Discord, VScode..), then YOU must work on a website, do its Javascript, jQuery, HTML, CSS, BOOSTRAP etc.. WITHOUT ANY GUIDANCE OR REFERENCE to all of those languages, again i clarify they insist that having NO CODING background isn't an issue. There were WAY too many files and instructions for beginners to understand, "coaches" who role-play as clients/managers/team leaders won't make much effort in actually building your knowledge in Developing, i've never felt so out of place in any "school" program, AT the end of those two weeks called "Genesis" you have to have your website all ready and constructed and interactive, you buy your own domain, they call us one by one over zoom to announce wether we had what it takes to go through with the rest of the program or not. Of course people with no coding background had to leave because of the paradox they made us believe at the beginning. One more thing to add, is that you have at least two meetings PER DAY, they last at least 30 min each, which doesn't take away much working time but they expect you to actually have advanced in your work within that same day, which is pretty impossible if you ask me, LAST OF all, THEY FORCE YOU to stay online on Slack and Discord the WHOLE time even tho there were no meetings scheduled, so you have no time to do anything, no social life whatsoever . I don't know what they expect you to do during such short period, if your politics is to recruit already EXPERIENCED programmers THEN make it clear first so we don't lose 2000$ over a stressful useless program that sets you into nothing, i did learn to manage the SUPER STRESS tho that's the only UP about that program, and even if they get you a job they'll take 20% of your YEARLY salary+the first initial 2K. I'm writing this because i had to be honest with my experience there so that YOU : The determined beginner thirsty to learn new stuff, waste your time like i did and be demoralized for failing, plus i have WAY TOO MUCH respect for this domain for some overhyped program to use people's hopes and throw them away. Thank you .
