Comprehensive, supportive, collaborative, engaging, effective.
Their curriculum is super up-to-date and really good. Plus, they've got this awesome support system where you can team up on projects with other students and chat with them. The mentors are always around to help too. If you're just starting out, I'd totally recommend the year-long program to soak it all in.

A good bootcamp which balances technical skills and soft skills
My experience has been pleasant, as the classes are small, they all instilled alot of group work traits in me which are important for the workplace. Melsoft not only teaches technical skills but also instill soft skills which include working with people, ability to present, meeting deadlines. So its a good balance should you look into going in
