The only language I knew before signing up was JavaScript. I’ll say basic Javascript picked up from Youtube. I was difficult taking online courses, especially if you lack self-motivation. That has always been my issue. But this course was different. Once I started, I never looked back. The motivation was just there. I might attribute it to the support that provided answers to any questions you have, but that’s just it.

The lectures were also well arranged. I seriously don't know how easy it is for the lecturers to teach both frontend development and backend development in such simple ways. Learning PHP, MySQL, Oracle, and Ruby are the best things I have done this year, and it’s all thanks to this course.

Cyber security at its best

Career support was rich and encompassing. I was adequately equipped for life during and after the course without leaving my destiny to fate. The instructors properly mentored everyone.
The online and self-paced courses allowed me to practice appropriately offline and apply the knowledge garnered in real-time, learned ethical hacking - by discovering the methods engaged in by hackers to a system and be abreast on how to checkmate their activities. The culmination of everything that ended at the certification examination was a ride to remember, I passed my exam excellently well, and I am happy. - Michael WoodlandWeb Developer • Graduate • Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineNov 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I owe this all to the level of committed tutoring I am receiving here. The virtual classrooms are such an experience. It feels so real; almost like being there in person except I am even more relaxed and learning at my own pace. Should I talk about the live mentoring sessions where seasoned web professionals take you through different levels of career coaching, how to get prepared for a job interview and what areas of web development to focus on? The list is simply endless. There is never a short supply of helpful resources and information at your disposal. I round up next month, and I must say I am more than super-psyched up getting out there to start building really cool stuff. I can sense 2021 will be my year of great things to come my way.

Ideal for preparing for certification exam
This course is excellent for certification exam preparations. I loved the layout of the system and how in-depth each of the topics was.

Still on it
Well, I will say that my encounter with this program was accidental. As a graduate of computer engineering, I knew I needed to upgrade my knowledge on relevant topics like JavaScript, JQuery, and Python but never had the opportunity. Again, I am never a fan of online tutorials; I still prefer the traditional method. But everything changed when I stumbled on this Web Development Bootcamp.

As a graduate of computer engineering, I knew I needed to upgrade my knowledge on relevant topics like JavaScript, JQuery, and Python but never had the opportunity. Again, I am never a fan of online tutorials; I still prefer the traditional method. But everything changed when I stumbled on this Web Development Bootcamp. Funny enough, I just had a convention with a former course mate of mine about the need to further advance our knowledge in relevant computer topics.
So, on one of my numerous searches about computers-related topics, I incidentally clicked on some pop-up ad (which I hated so much by the way). But things were different this time: I was familiar with virtually all the 11 programs enlisted in that category on their website, and again, the pricing was moderate; far lesser than what you get in the traditional classroom tutorials. So, that was how I got in. It has been 19 weeks (out of the stipulated 28 weeks) of the program, and I must confess, this is it – this is the real deal. I have gained much more than I planned, and the lecturers are just something else.
It will only be fair if I add a few online classroom experiences. The lectures are somewhat practical; they talk extensively on every topic. You will be able to relate to each information that is communicated. Well, let me stop here, ‘cos I might end up writing a whole encyclopedia about my experience here. But in all, it is worth all the time and money.

Was very informative but there are cheaper ways to learn the same things
I went through the AI/ML course and I had a mixed experience. My first mentor resigned partway through and I had to restart the course from the beginning with a new instructor even though I had already half-completed the course and done well. On the other hand both mentors I had were incredibly helpful, experienced, and knowledgeable. I'm going to be honest though this course is way too expensive for information that is freely available on youtube and through o'reilly textbooks. I really...I went through the AI/ML course and I had a mixed experience. My first mentor resigned partway through and I had to restart the course from the beginning with a new instructor even though I had already half-completed the course and done well. On the other hand both mentors I had were incredibly helpful, experienced, and knowledgeable. I'm going to be honest though this course is way too expensive for information that is freely available on youtube and through o'reilly textbooks. I really appreciated that the course didn't skimp on the mathematics of AI/ML but I also found that after I joined the industry that there was a significant amount missing from the curriculum of the course. And the career services portion was nothing game changing it was just spray and pray applications. Like most bootcamps it can be useful to you if you put in the extra effort beyond the level of the course but it feels like it's essentially a diploma mill. - AnonymousGraduate • Cybersecurity Bootcamp • OnlineNov 01, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Cybersecurity Bootcamp
Great opportunity for a career change at any point in your life! The program went by super fast and for someone new to IT the projects helped me understand what I was learning. The resume building and having professional look after the resume absolutely critical to my success in landing a job right after the certification. Quickstart has given me a new and promising career after graduating. - AnonymousDidn't get the job • Student • Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineMar 30, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Their course work does not apply to the projects and they only ever teach you 90 percent of the way so you have to abandon what they teach you and learn everything from youtube videos. Your instructor does care but he won't be able to teach how to write a login page. They also should start the coursework with javascript. They end up teaching you jquery in depth, then hardly use of for any projects and what ultimately comes down as useful is straight javascript, which they barely have any coursework for. Ultimately it is a bit of a sham for an industry with loads of prefab website builders that work great. Webdesign is highly competitive and the tools they give you are not good for success, especially for a entry level coder.
Waste of my time and money. Don't waste your money, you might as well do a free Bootcamp since they don't teach you how to write basic and very necessary features, like login pages. - AnonymousGraduate • Web Development Bootcamp • OnlineMar 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Affordable and Flexible
While looking for bootcamps, I was trying to find something that was flexible with my current work schedule, but also give me the experience I need to be job ready. This bootcamp was able to accomplish that with the flexibility of the instructor and support staff and way the course was designed. I was able to go to work and come home and spend time learning at my own pace while also experiencing an online classroom with an instructor twice a week.

This bootcamp was able to accomplish that with the flexibility of the instructor and support staff and way the course was designed. I was able to go to work and come home and spend time learning at my own pace while also experiencing an online classroom with an instructor twice a week.
My instructor Karl was great at explaining difficult concepts to a lot of people who had little to no prior experience in web development. He also made himself available at most hours to help when needed.
I was also impressed with the support staff who helped navigate us through the course with any questions or concerns we had. My academic advisor Moses, was always quick to respond to any issues I ran into.
Overall this was a great experience. It wasn't easy all the time, but the instructor and the support staff always did their best to help the student get through whatever hurdles they were facing.
