The module content is authoritative and well organised, just the right amount & depth for initial understanding and practice of concepts, with plenty of links to etxra resources when you want more. They style of audio visual and written material is upbeat, positive and engaging. At the end of each week it's impressive to see how much has actually been covered.

What took me so long?!
The coding bootcamp at SkillCrush was amazing! I had fun while learning...so cliche' but I actually did and still do. I enjoyed the bootcamp so much that I decided to take the Full Stack course. I like the different ways of learning that are expressed through out the course. First visual and auditory learning and then hands on learning.

Best Coding Bootcamp EVER!
Skillcrush rocks!! I can’t say enough great things about it! I chose Skillcrush over another bootcamp because of their teaching style, their free 7 day “try before you buy” mini bootcamp, affordability & their sincere kindness that was evident from the very first video I watched before even having any contact with a person on their team. The knowledge and resources they provide are OUTSTANDING! If you’re thinking about signing up with them, go for it! - Kelly R FooteFull Stack Web Developer • Student • (1) Full Stack Developer Track (Break Into Tech + Get Hired Program) • OnlineMay 22, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Skillcrush provides just the right amount of support a student needs while learning. All of the information is provided in a detailed, sequential order with ample opportunities to practice skills. I loved the projects and felt supported by the staff to push the limits of each project in order to further my learning. The staff members are knowledgeable, kind and so supportive. I felt 100% ready to apply for jobs with the knowledge and experience I gained at Skillcrush. - Bryan HoyemStudent • (1) Full Stack Developer Track (Break Into Tech + Get Hired Program) • OnlineApr 18, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great learning experience
The classes so far have been thoughtfully planned and developed to make the learning process enjoyable. The topics are presented in a logical order that builds progressively but allows for someone to set their own pace effectively. I'm looking forward to the rest of the classes. - Linda ArmstrongStudent • (1) Full Stack Developer Track (Break Into Tech + Get Hired Program) • OnlineMar 22, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

The Best Decision That I’ve Made!
Skillcrush has been nothing short of amazing. From the very beginning, I felt like I was in good hands.

I can honestly say that I’m learning new skills and retaining the information. I would definitely recommend Skillcrush in the future! - Joshua GalantStudent • (2) Front End Developer Track (Break Into Tech + Get Hired Program) • OnlineOct 17, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great learning experience
So far I have been learning a lot when it comes to HTML and CSS. There is a lot to learn and it takes patience as there’s a lot to learn but Skillcrush makes things quite wonderful in terms of teaching you how to build a website. So far I have learned a lot as I’ve done two project websites as of this day in writing this review. - Jeffrey Boadi-AttafuahStudent • (2) Front End Developer Track (Break Into Tech + Get Hired Program) • OnlineApr 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Excellent, fascinating and interesting
Skillcrush is a very user/student friendly course school. They take their time in teaching and have lots of practical challenges to go with every lesson. There is also a good student = teacher relation, where you can ask any question concerning a lesson and you are rest assured that you will get a quick response.
I like the teaching method a lot because it make the student really gets involved, and it breeds confidence in the student.
I will recommend it anyway anywhere!
