Supportive Mentors and Peers as well as Comprehensive curriculum
Melsoft is an institution with endless opportunities. I find the boot camp phenomenal with a very intensive curriculum while still being comprehensive. The staff are also very helpful and accommodating has led to a very good experience for me. There are great support systems from both the students and mentors, the sense of community is very prominent at the bootcamp. It is a very unpretentious environment and I am happy to be here. - Kupakwashe MhereStudent • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • JohannesburgJun 07, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An enabling program opening up opportunities and unlocking talent
Before I joined Melsoft academy, I had little knowledge in web development and software programming/coding. After the bootcamp and my experience with Melsoft, I can confidently say I have moved on from needing constant help and held hands when working, to working independently with m,y skills to offer them to hiring employees in the near future. A very useful program indeed. - Kendall NkomoStudent • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • Cape TownJun 06, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Exceptional and holistic learning experience
Melsoft Academy provided a holistic learning experience. The blend of technical training and career support was exceptional. Th mentors' dedication and the collaborative environment made a significant difference in my learning journey. For now they only offer software engineering but I look forward to any more offerings they may have. Itt might actually be the Harvard of coding bootcamps. Only wish it was fully on site so that I’d go everyday - Egyirba Bedu-AddoStudent • Student • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • JohannesburgJun 06, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best experience ever!
As a complete beginner, I found Melsoft Academy's bootcamp challenging yet achievable. The mentors were always ready to assist, and the curriculum was thorough. The hands-on projects gave me practical experience, and I now feel well-prepared for my new role in tech.

've had the incredible opportunity to study at Melsoft Academy for the past 4 months as a software engineering student, and I must say, it has been a game-changer for me.

Minor drawbacks, ccasionally, the schedule can feel a bit intense, but the mentors are flexible and accommodating when you need extra time. Despite this, the overall experience and knowledge gained far outweigh these slight shortcomings. I am grateful for the guidance and support I've received at Melsoft Academy, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to kickstart their journey in software engineering. - Alexis Desani-GonoStudent • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • OnlineApr 06, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

CONS:⏹️If you're anywhere other than Johannesburg, you miss out on the onsite weekly gatherings on Wednesdays⏹️Although the course is suitable for everyone; even those with no coding experience, due to the intense nature of the bootcamp, to maximise on the experience and minimise feeling overwhelmed and out of place, I would suggest some self-study before commencing this bootcamp
Overall this bootcamp is an excellent way to prepare you for real-world virtual work environments.
If you need someone to hold your hand or simply grasp things better from physical or mostly real time instruction then it might not be most suitable for you but definitely still worth considering.
I attended another bootcamp in 2020 and made more progress in 3 months than I did in 3 years.
This bootcamp has definately been the best decision I made for my career in 2023 and therefore I highly recommend. 👍🏻👌🏻🙌🏻

Tranformative
the syllabus is top-notch, covering everything from the basics to advanced Web Dev. What's really awesome is that they set you up with internships once you've finished. It's like going from classroom coding to the real deal in no time! They make it super easy with their connections. - Lesedi SkhosanaStudent • Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp • JohannesburgMar 18, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
