	Rose Koning	I compared this bootcamp to others and chose the Ubiqum one because it used Java. Java is still a really popular language and also very versatile. The course starts easy with basic coding and slowly but surely you go into the harder stuff. The progress in the course is pretty good but the step from front end to the back end programming is actually quite big. I've had several moments during the course in which I felt stuck and not really able to get the level. Luckily the mentor in the program is really good. He is very experienced and he really pulled me through it when I was very stuck. The good thing about this course is that you have a set program, but with your mentor, there is also room for flexility. I was able to experiment with some extra technologies that weren't in the program, but are still going to be very valuable in the industry. Finding a job after the program wasn't super easy. It took me about 1,5 months and most companies are looking for people with 2-3 years of experience. I noticed that I was invited for interviews if I really emphasized that you start programming from the first day. It also helped a lot to highlight that you have an portfolio on github with all your projects so the companies can actually see that you have been working for several months. Overal I would recommend the bootcamp because I know I wouldn't have been able to learn all of this in such a short time by myself. But prepare yourself for a rough couple of months with many ups and downs and lots of hard work.
	Bert	Ubiqum requested us to post a review since last year, I waited to finish another Analytic course (cheaper), a free online course before sharing my experience. I am not new at coding, I do some SQL, advanced Macro for years . From past experiences, I benefited a lot from job shadowing, face to face mentorship (from experts at my workplace and online course, then consolidated and grew more skills thru tasks and time). So I was attracted by the "learning doing" at your pace advertised. Also, they had "good" reviews too. Though mostly from the Spanish campus and I guess by now, most done before 2019 before Ubiqum expansion in other countries, all that led me to enroll at Ubiqum in 2019 on site. FAR BEFORE THE 1st COVID ALERT IN CHINA, so any lockdown in Europe.... From week 1 I felt low spirited, by week 3 hearing the same from other disappointed students about the outdated curriculum and the unskilled frustrating mentors; I realized I had to quit the program and send a request for the refund. I was informed that the cancellation period was over. Until today I deeply regret that choice, I lost hard earned savings . Do not even make me start on their Job support... They do not get you the job, nor in any effective way help you finding one. My cheap online class offered: online professional resume help and support+ technical preparation for challenges or case studies for interviews. 1000euros vs 10000euros. With so many people financially struggling with the current market, economy, I can definitely say that Ubiqum was not worth it at all.
