I'm so grateful for this course. By the end of it I feel much more confident in my abilities to get a job and to create a full website for future clients. I would tell anyone to take this course!- AnonymousStudent • LehiJun 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Difficult but doable, with fun
A lot going on here, but it's all important. No unnecessary fluff, just coding and building websites/apps, with any necessary theory/algorithm discussions included. The Instructors I was taught by were both competent and helpful. I haven't gotten a job yet, but their job-searching lectures were all very informative, and hopefully the strategies pay off.Andrew of Devmountain

Challenging, Rewarding, Fun
I was nervous to begin this bootcamp because I had absolutely zero experience with coding before it. The material was good but I felt like it could have been more thorough and in depth. Then again, that is the way the cookie crumbles in bootcamps. There wasn't as much take home homework the first half of the program that I was expecting and I didn't learn from the given video material the second half. - AnonymousGraduate • LehiMay 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Not Worth It For Cybersecurity
My experience was specifically in the cybersecurity program and I would highly recommend avoiding Devmountain for this course of study. The first 8 weeks is focused on Foundations which is a very basic overview of full stack development. The instructors were awesome and I came away feeling like, with more practice, I could easily program in HTML and JavaScript.

The first 8 weeks is focused on Foundations which is a very basic overview of full stack development. The instructors were awesome and I came away feeling like, with more practice, I could easily program in HTML and JavaScript. Then I started my 8 week spec course specializing in cybersecurity and that is where the wheels came off. There is next to no support at this stage, it is pretty much self-guided study using Jason Dion trainings through Udemy which you can purchase on your own for a few hundred dollars versus ~$10,000 for the Devmountain course. After fighting through the program, not a single job I applied to cared about me having any programming experience because the vast majority of cybersecurity does not involve coding at all. Those positions that do require coding are things like being a member of the DevSecOps team but those positions are rarely trained in cybersecurity specifically and are rather people with huge amounts of experience coding and knowing how to make the code solid and secure. So the best part of Devmountain (the 8-week Foundations course) doesn't even apply to this area of study.
At the end of the day, I spent almost $10,000 on Devmountain, received 8 weeks of instructor-led training that did not apply to my desired field of study, then spent 8 weeks studying CompTIA Security+ and Network+ on my own and I could have just paid for for a lot of training materials for these for less than $1,000. I could do two semesters of a master's degree program for less than the cost of a 16-week Devmountain course that doesn't even help in cybersecurity. No matter how you look at it, Devmountain is not worth it for cybersecurity and the worst part of all of it is that no administrators at Devmountain care to listen to my experience so they can improve things for future classes. Avoid wasting your $10,000 like I did if you want to go into cybersecurity. - AnonymousGraduate • Salt Lake CityMay 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Not all it's cracked up to be!
I came into devmountain with an understanding of web development from self learning. The first half of the curriculum was insightful but a mash up of skills spanning multiple careers as well as information I had already learned on my own. It was nice to gain an understanding of the job requirements of the fields around mine but it didn't necessarily make me a better developer.
The second half of the full time course was frustrating to say the least. They just give you a subscript...I came into devmountain with an understanding of web development from self learning. The first half of the curriculum was insightful but a mash up of skills spanning multiple careers as well as information I had already learned on my own. It was nice to gain an understanding of the job requirements of the fields around mine but it didn't necessarily make me a better developer.
The second half of the full time course was frustrating to say the least. They just give you a subscription to udemy and recommend videos to watch. It was nice having people around when you need help but it was not much different then self learning. I feel like the biggest benefit was that I spent so much money I was encouraged to be disciplined.
The outcomes team coaches you on how to get a job but doesn't help you with placement and the information they give you only gets you so far, the most important part is continuing to learn new skills and creating projects for your portfolio. Don't think for a second you will finish that course and be placed in a few months like the outcomes team says. It took me almost a year to find a job and having devmountain on my resume was not a large part of that. My success was because I had the resources and the support system to focus on continuing to learn, to appeal to the employers.
Many of my classmates still have not found opportunities (other than working for devmountain) and had to go back to their previous careers to pay off the loans they took out to pay for this over priced curriculum. I was also informed by the outcomes team that the reason I was not finding a job was because I was not harassing employers after applying. I can tell you no one likes that. I didn't get my job because I emailed them or stalked them on LinkedIn, I got the job because I went out of my way to keep growing which shows dedication, and because I made myself more appealing to potential employers. After adding typescript projects to my portfolio was when the interviews really started rolling in.
In the end, this course might be beneficial to some, but I hate to see people thinking that going to devmountain is all they need to find a job. - AnonymousStudent • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • LehiJan 15, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

One of the things I liked most from the curriculum was that they tried to do more than just teach the language that they use but also to teach students how to learn a new language and tools.
My favorite thing about the school those is their student outcomes team. They have several people dedicated to helping students get jobs and they are great to work with. The amount of effort that this team has put into helping me get a job after an extremely unique and challenging situation since graduation has been super helpful - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • OnlineNov 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

UX Design After Hours
Had a great experience going through the after hours UX program at Devmountain in Lehi. Being on campus was great, but halfway through the program we switched to remote learning due to COVID-19. The organization was able to pivot really quickly to help deliver a great experience nonetheless. I think that speaks a lot to them as an organization and both their ability to instruct and their care for students and their needs. - AnonymousStudent • iOS Development Remote, Full-Time • LehiApr 21, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Student
I believe the instructors are incredibly inexperienced in how to teach individuals. They may know the subject, but teaching that subject to others is a whole different skill all together. They need quality instructors if they expect to teach a very technical subject in a VERY short period of time. - AnonymousFrontend Engineer • Graduate • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • LehiApr 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

They are always cutting corners and costs to save on an already highly profitable business at the expense of student learning. I would not recommend it to anyone at this point. I attended DevMountain When it was in Provo and mentored when they moved to Lehi. DevMountain was fantastic when I attended. And back then I would have and did recommend it to everyone but it went down hill really quickly after the shift in management after the new owners really took over. Over 6 months ALL the web instructors left and they hired recent grads with NO job experience to replace them in order to cut costs. They decreased the number of mentors per student and significantly lowered the bar for mentors. Recent grads that would have normally been hired as mentors are now being hired as instructors and so they are hiring virtually anyone who wants to be a mentor regardless of skill. They removed most of the extra resources for students. Significantly lowered the physical classroom quality so while in lecture you can hear all 3 other lectors going on simultaneously separated only by small decorative half walls. The current devmountain management has and will cut any cost they can because they know they can ride off the good reviews and legacy of the old owners and management for a while. Stay away!!! I have worked with students who are graduating now and they are getting a much much lower quality of education/skill set.
