    Great way to jump into Web Dev Head first.

    I had a great experience at the bootcamp. I found the staff to be very knowledgeable of the curriculum provided as well as vested in having the students learn how to do things properly.

     

    I already had a job in a related field before the bootcamp however had I not I feel that I would have been prepared to take on an entry level web developer position after this course.

    If you're ready to change your life and work REALLY hard, UCF Coding Bootcamp is for you.  I attended an Orlando part-time cohort for 6 months - and it was intense (but awesome!).  The curriculum is fast-paced and non-stop.  

    My instructor (Bob) was very intelligent and great at explaining concepts and applications in a way we could follow and apply to in-class activities and homework.  While his pace could be very fast and his Boston accent was horrible (just kidding), I felt th...

    Best decision of my life

    I graduated from the first full-time course at the UCF Coding Bootcamp, and it was the best decision of my life. Everyone says you get out of it what you put in, and that couldn't be more true. This course is designed for people like me who came in with no experience, all the way up to computer science graduates. It teaches you the fundamentals that you need to become a web developer, and it gives you the resources and skills you need to keep learning.

    Great Experience

    I entered the UCF Coding Bootcamp with what I would say a beginner to intermediate level of coding experience focusing around languages of C/C++/Java and a hint HTML/CSS. I stumbled on the course advertisement online while looking for resources to learn/teach myself JavaScript at home. After some research on Coding Boot camps in general, I decided to go make the leap and apply to UCFs Bootcamp. Upon applying I was given a brief questionnaire that tested problem solving and linear thinking ...

    Great experience if you're ready to work hard!

    Prior to enrolling in the UCF Web Dev Boot Camp, I had read a couple of reviews here on Course Report that helped me with the decision to sign up. Now that I’ve completed the course, here are my thoughts.

    I was in the September 2016 cohort that finished up a couple of months ago. The program is 24 weeks of instruction, but mine took longer chronologically because of winter break and a few other holidays in the middle. My particular class met Mon/Wed 6:30-9:30pm, then we joined up...

    Hi Ali,

    Thank you so much for your feedback, and congratulations on graduating! You’re right that this is a challenging program that requires many hours of study and practice outside of the classroom. We know it takes real commitment to balance life and the intensive pace of the program, so we’re proud of all the hard work you’ve done!

    In order to assist students who are struggling with the coursework, our instructors and TAs are always available during class and through various channels like in-person and virtual office hours, email, Slack, and phone, to provide extra support in any way they can. It’s wonderful to hear that you found the instructional and student success teams to be skilled and helpful! We think they are pretty great, too.

    We’re sorry to hear that your experience with our career services team during the course did not meet your expectations due to the promotion of your original career director. After his promotion, the career director did step back in to give additional assistance along with the CD from another campus, providing six guest speakers, two online career coaching sessions, three in-class sessions, and one company tour. 

    We are happy that you had a better experience with the post-graduation career services and hope that you are now receiving all of the support you need to bolster your success. If there is anything else we can help you with to this end, please don’t hesitate to contact us at (407) 454-9823.

    A Life Changing Decision

     

    I started the UCF Coding Bootcamp with little to no prior coding experience. The application process is a little intimidating. It's not just "you can pay, you're in". You have to go through a phone interview where they assess your cognitive skills. You also take an assessment online. 

    Each class has 30 students with 1 teacher and 2 TAs. You meet two days a week (either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday) and you also have a Saturday morning class in which yo...

    Expensive, sales driven course

    The course is $17,000 for a CERTIFICATE. UCF’s masters program is $11,000 if you already have your Bachelor’s degree. For an online program, you still have to do a 3 hour class per week during a certain time frame. I decided and then backed out of their initial month and was charged a $25 admin fee that no one told me about. No forms were filled out.
