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 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. |
