    Phenomenal Course - Great Challenge

    Omar Patel is a great professor. He's very hands on and engaging. He's very open to new ideas of teaching to better engage students and get them excited about learning the subject. He makes himself available outside of class, puts in the extra effort to get you the help you need, and wants you to succeed. With every problem, he challenges you to figure it out on your own, but gives you the tools you need to get to the end result.

    The course is challenging and requires a lot of st...

    Excellent Program Worth the Time and Money

    Ever wanted to learn how to code? Interested in joining a supportive community? If so, then the Coding Boot Camp with UCLA is right for you! I know it was right for me in my personal experience. I had limited coding knowledge prior to joining, but after 6 months, I became confident in my ability as a junior web developer.

    Overall Experience: 
    Perhaps the most important mindset to have entering the boot camp (or any boot camp for that matter) is that you need to put in the ti...

    Great Program

    This course is not EASY!!! It requires time and dedication. But don't let this discourage you, the faculty team is supportive and knowledgeable. The instructor, Omar Patel, is amazing at presenting coding concepts and teacher's assistance makes themselves readily available for office hours.  

    This course is part-time, but you'll have to study and work outside of class to grasp the concepts. It is recommended that you put in 20 hours/week, at times you'll be frustrated and doubtin...

    Excellent program and worth every penny!

    This program is great for all levels of students, from first time coders to students with CS degrees. The program is really well designed and structured to build upon the previous weeks lesson and assignments.

    Even though this is "part time", it is very much a full time commitment. While I have a CS degree and have been coding for some time, full stack was still new and at times it was a challenge to keep pace with the homework assignments AND work a full time job. Working fullti...

    Hi Gary, thank you so much for the detailed review! We pride ourselves on our proven curriculum, so we’re glad to hear you had such a positive experience as you worked to expand on your existing programming skills. You are right that students must dedicate a minimum of 20 hours per week on outside work in order to really immerse themselves in the topics covered in class. And we couldn’t agree more that what you get out of the program depends solely on what you’re willing to put in. You’ve definitely put in the hard work, so we congratulate you on your accomplishments! We know you will go on to do great things in your current job and whatever job you pursue in the future.

    Cybersecurity

    I attended the “very expensive” cyber security boot camp which advertised high success in getting a job after the class. I took the class and then passed the Comp Tia security plus certification and cannot find a job. All entry level programs want someone with a Bachelors degree or higher. They tell me this bootcamp does not meet their standards and they are indicating this course may be useful for people already in the field. This course alone does not lead to a job in cybersecurity.
