    Digital Administrator Cohort

    So very thankful for the program at Generation. Grateful that a program like this exists to help fill the gap between hardworking people looking to grow but may be missing the traditional qualifications and jobs that need to be filled. My Generation instructor was amazing and even though it was sometimes rough to make it to class everyday when juggling a family and a job, it was all worth it in the end. They set you up for success and build you up in whatever you are lacking. They prepar...

    Profitable time


    My experience at Generation USAI had a wonderful experience; The TAs were all amazing and helpful. There were a lot of material to cover in such amount of time and we were presented with adequate resources to help us navigate through the cohort. In addition, Generation has career/life coaches which is a plus; get to meet with a coach to help with resumes, jobs, mock interviews and etc. I highly recommend taking a class/cohort with this program.

    Digital Marketing Analyst

    Teacher amanda buckner and TA lorrela bain were amazing and helpful. The generation curriculum has many issues. Inefficient use of time and unrealistic expectations with group work. Too much time on mindset/behavioral skills at the expense of tech skills that will be asked of us on the job. Need to spend more time on the difficult sections like SEO to make sure everyone learns what is neccessary. Please give the instructor more flexibility to alter the cirriculum for student benefits.

    Rude Teacher

    One of the instructors is pretty rude. She says to communicate and ask questions, but cuts you off and answers everything with an attitude. 

    Also, I'm not going to say that she treats adult students like children because as a teacher you shouldn't treat children that way either. She has a total lack of respect.

    This is pretty daunting because we've only just started so to think there are several months left with her attitude is making me already dislike this class.

    Cloud Practitioner

    I felt so much more confident and prepared to take the next step in my life. I really appreciate my TAs and the time and efforts to put in to train us and make us believe in ourselves. They are all knowledgeable and always prepared. I was lucky to find Generation USA. As a teacher, I have always been dealing with the kids and taking pain killers for migraines sometimes twice a day, and didn't know how to start an IT career. This was such a blessing and I feel I am ready to move into the ...
