Georgia Tech Boot Camps

I took this bootcamp in hoping to Full Stack Developer. No one in the industry takes this certificate seriously if you don't have experience. While GTech people market this as -if you do bootcamp, it is simiar to 1-3 experience. It's not true at all. Recruiters only hire you if you do have relevant experience. Hence many people I know from this cohort are jobless even after 5 months of completing it. Instructor always seem unprepared. He always tried to be nice to people and joke around so that they give good review but I dont think it was earned by quality of teaching.

I was really pleased with the curriculum while attending this boot camp. This program is perfect for a novice in Web Development to learn the skills required to be a good developer. I was impressed by the quality of education provided by this bootcamp, kudos to the instructors and TAs ! I wish that the pace can be reduced to allow students more time to master a topic before moving to another but I understand the nature of bootcamps, they are supposed to be rigorous for a short period of time. I also wished that more group projects were available in the curriculum to improve the student experience because a group project showcase a student's ability to collaborate with others and that is an important skill to have in software development. I was a little disappointed in classroom participation but not surprised given the large number of students. I liked the idea of rewards for a correct answer to boost participation, it should be done more often (dividing the students in four factions competing for rewards could be great, maybe inspired by Hogwarts houses in H.P.). The career services is good but sometimes there is a time conflict with class sessions. Overall,  I'm happy to have chosen this program as a first step into Web Development.

This coure took me for almost no experience with web development to landing me a job two weeks before the course was over. I have since moved on to a better job at a larger company but I would not have been able to do this without the bootcamp. I came into the program with a little bit of self touch knowledge on HTML, CSS, and a tiny bit of JavaScript. I had a little bit of knowledge but was unable to do anything with it. Upon completion of the course I was able to create fully functional web apps starting completly from scratch. 

While I enjoyed the experience of the full time bootcamp I wish I went through the 6 month bootcamp to better absorb the information with more time as there were times in class that the instructors couldn't even take questions because we were speeding throught the lesson so fast.  I also was dissapointed with the career services as the were little help I thought with just a monthly phone call with no job leads to provide us with that was partly due to the fact that the person who had been the career services head left right before graduation and we had to get to know a new career services person.  I am still searching for a job in october and know many other students that are still searching.  Also this course is run by Trilogy education services and really just uses the Georgia Tech name and campus.

I am currently working as the Program Coordinator and a Lecturer for Computer Information Systems at a university. As an IT Professional and educator, I recognize the importance of maintaining an awareness of the current trends in Information Technology. With my demanding schedule, the Georgia Tech Coding Boot Camp allowed me to pursue an opportunity to enhance my awareness and skillset while having the flexibility to work full-time while enrolled in the program.

The Georgia Tech Coding Boot Camp has been an awesome experience for me. I have learned so much in a short period of time. The online educational environment often seemed equivalent to that of a traditional in-class setting given the level of engagement and support provided in the course.

I would advise prospective students to be proactive in making the necessary schedule adjustments to accommodate the communicated time commitment to the course. The Student Success Manager and Career Services resources will guide you. Take their advice.

I decided to make a career change and was searching for a coding bootcamp, I came across GA tech's program since Ive heard a lot about them, and I must say I couldnt be happier!

Be prepared for hard work and a fast paced environment. The first two weeks I was in shock, but the amazing instroctor NEVER let me quit and never gave up on me, as well as the TA's. Also, the student success manager always was there to help or answer any questions that I had.

As far as a job goes after the program, not as easy as I would have hoped, but its work in progress and once you get that job sky's the limit.
