Recent Review:

This bootcamp is no longer the great place it used to be. Vivian Zhang (the crazy CEO) has made the curriculum into a joke, and you waste a lot of time on nonsense apps like shiny, blog posts because she thinks that's what employers want. It is not. No one in the industry pays attention to the things she believes they do, which is 1 reason why it has been so difficult to place all candidates ...

I was a student at Wycode and graduated from the third cohort. Everyone in the Wyncode team are not only extremely helpful and knowledgeable, but also amazing people. I learned way more than i expected to and the course definitely prepared me to enter the development field as a junior dev. I had the opportunity of meeting and getting to know not only the wonderful Wyncode Team, but also many ...

Recent Review:

If you have spent any time researching coding bootcamps, you know there are are a lot of them out there, but I can't imagine there being any as unique and impactful as devleague. First of all, devleague has a very low instructor to student ratio. While most coding bootcamps have an instructor for every 20 students or so, devleague has one for every 4-5. On top of that, the average number of ...

Metis' classes focus on real-world problems; work is hands-on, team-driven, and led by digital experts and industry leaders. Their web development courses (Ruby on Rails and UX/Front End Development ) are designed by an impressive software studio called "Thoughtbot."

I recently finished the Metis Introduction to Data Science class in NYC and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I have been interested in Data Science for a while so I decided to go to a Metis meetup where they went over the curriculum of the class. I found it very interesting but what sold me was the teacher, Sergey Folgelson. He is an excellent and energetic teacher. The class is ...

While the boot camp emphasizes welcoming all backgrounds in the field of data science, this is an excellent course for those data analysts who are looking to evolve their current skill set, to that of, a data scientist. During the duration of the boot camp, instructor(s) will provide intuitive and in-depth material on the theory and application of machine learning and data science. Then, you ...

I came to Codeworks to learn coding and apply it in future start-up development, but I didn't expect anything that happened in the following 3 months. The program is incredibly intense and makes you give the best of yourself every single day, it requires perseverance and self-discipline to go beyond your personal limits, to go out of your comfort zone and to reach new levels. Codeworks is not ...

After I decided to do a coding bootcamp, I went to 5 different schools and asked questions, sat in on classes and researched them heavily. After speaking to Joe, the .NET instructor, I decided this was the place I wanted to be. I went from not having any coding background to being headhunted by recruiters for developer roles. But this isn't a get rich quick scheme. The classes are challenging ...

The term "bridging the gap between X and Y" is certainly an overused one but the ASI fellowship did exactly this for me. Coming out of a PhD in statistical physics, I was constantly being told I would "have no problem finding a great job" but I found that the interview process, especially within the relatively new field that is data science, was in no way gauging the skills I had developed in ...

Recent Review:

It's a very good program and it was a fantastic experience. The biggest value, by far, is the network/access it provides (even if you could get a data science job without Insight it would still probably be worth going). I don't think any of the other data science bootcamps compare in this regard. Most of the learning is self-directed rather than structured, but it turns out that it's also ...

Thinkful is one of the few online bootcamps that have made it onto the list. They combine all of the best educational resources -- great teaching, great curriculum, and engaged learners -- to teach students how to code online. The course curriculum is entirely online and is estimated to take about three months assuming that you can commit to 10 to 15 hours per week in order to complete the coursework. You choose your own pace and can attend office hours, one to one mentorship sessions, as... (View In-Depth Report)

Recent Review:

There were often times in my previous attempts of learning to program that I would hit a wall. Without having any support to help me understand those concepts I would just give up thinking, 'I’m just not good at programming.' By being able to meet with my mentor three times a week, whenever those walls come up I’m able to break through before the thought of giving up even crosses my mind.

The below review was posted on coursereport, over a year ago. It still stands relatively true, which goes to show, how awful this place is. --------- This may be good given some time to grow. In the meantime, this is a waste of money and time. The good reviews are from staff, or have been requested by their marketing person. They send out emails with incentives asking people to leave 5 star ...

Everything I learned was broad enough to be relevant across different aspects of a business and user experience but not too caught up in overwhelming details. April shared many of her real life experiences, which made everything easier to relate to. The learning set up involving other people and the open atmosphere made the experience rich and rewarding.

I attended the first hybrid course of Level. Since it was new, they were unorganized and even changed professors half way through the class. However, I learned a lot and enjoyed applying the material to the homework projects. I liked the concept of the capstone project but we did not have enough time to thoroughly complete the project. Overall, I learned a lot (mainly R) and would recommend a ...

I was doing research on this bootcamp when I came across a student that was threatened by doxxing from the lead instructor. This is absolutely beyond insane.
