    Full Time Coding Bootcamp

    This course has everything you need if you want to become a junior web developer. The teachers and TAs were great, very informative, and helpful. The information in the bootcamp is incredible, and if you take it seriously, study hard, and really work for it you can succeed as a junior web developer after doing this course with no experience previously. If you're looking for a career change, or an alternative to a degree this could be great for you. It is an INTENSE course, and not at all t...

    Coding Bootcamp

    Extremely well taught course. Instructors and TA’s are top notch.

    Career services are a joke. I have unmarked career homework from them, even after reporting it twice during the course. Career services added zero value to the course.

    I will still recommend this course for teaching in-demand languages, the teacher genuinely caring about your learning, and the great learning atmosphere provided. 

    I loved the course!

    Thank you, Adrian! We love hearing that you found the instructors and TA's knowledgeable and helpful throughout the course, as we strive to create an environment that promotes dynamic learning. It's great that you were successful in learning in-demand languages. Our team members are passionate about what they do, and it shows via the support and care they provide. 

    We regret to hear our career support was not what you were hoping for, and we take feedback like yours very seriously. Our career services are built on the principle of empowerment. While we do not secure direct employment for our students, we empower them the best we can with the necessary tools and support for entering the job market and securing not only their first tech role but every job thereafter. From the beginning, our team strives to be clear about the scope of our assistance so that students understand how they can best take advantage of this aspect of the program. We understand that you chose not to opt-in for our career services and communicated that you would be conducting the job search on your own, and did not submit your career materials for review by our career director. We know job seeking is difficult and strenuous, which is why we encourage students to submit a number of quality applications on a weekly basis; this helps students maximize their networking and increase their possibilities of securing a well-matched position.

    It is our goal for all students to leave the program feeling prepared and equipped for success. We would love the opportunity to provide you with additional career planning assistance and any continued support you may need at this time. If you are interested, please reach out to me directly at (310) 955-4093 to schedule another call to submit your materials and discuss your individual needs in more detail.

    Overall Great Program

    I have background in electrical engineering and although I had some previous programing experience before starting the program, it was still very challenging. The pace of the program was workable but I had to manage my time effectively since I has taking the course part time with a full time job. 

    In this program, you will get as much out of it as you are willing to put in. The time and effort you spend on assignments will help grow the and reinforce the skills...

    Thumbs up for the UCLA Full Stack Web Bootcamp

    I recently completed the UCLA Full Stack Web Bootcamp. It was one of the most meaningful educational experiences of my academic career. This was money well spent!

    The course is challenging from a number of perspectives. First, while individuals with no prior programming experience can succeed in the course, I would advise that anyone who wants to enroll, focus on JavaScript (or another language) prior to entering the program. Spend at least 30 hours on an online education site li...

    Congratulations on completing the program, David! We're glad to hear that you learned many valuable skills, and had an overall positive experience with this course.
    As you mention, this boot camp does require students to dedicate a significant amount of their time outside of class to studying and practicing their skills. We commend you for all of the hard work you put into this program as we know it can be challenging to learn so many new concepts and skills in only 24 weeks.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your insights with future students, we’re wishing you luck as you move forward in your career.

    Overall very rewarding experience. The instructor and TAs  were passionate about coding and really cared about the success of their students. Student Services was also very receptive to feedback to make the program better. The material was challenging and requires a lot of self discipline, no one is going to hold your hand, but if you are passionate and are putting in the work yourself, the instructional staff is always very supportive. Also, no one is going to hand you a job after program...

    In the beginning, I personally didn't know what I was going to get from the course. I saw all of the reviews and promotion that were promising job placements and things of that nature. The class moves at a fast pace, but if you put the time in and passionate about the subject this class is perfect for you!

    Exceptional staff, great material

    I took the full time course in woodland hills in the spring, and must say the instructors were excellent. I also feel very happy with the content of the course, and have fallen in love with node-express app development. Going forward in college, I'm looking to switch my major from mathematics to computer science. If I had one minor suggestion for improvement, I'd say the starter files could be more fleshed out, especially later in the course. It would occasionally be difficult to code the new...

    Great Course - Would Recommend 10/10

    The Coding Bootcamp at the UCLA Extension was challenging but absolutely doable with the resources provided by faculty and one's own personal commitment. At first, the material can be intimidating, especially for people who do not have any prior experience programming, but there was pre-work given before the first day of class in order to give every student exposure and to motivate and bring awareness to the difficulty of the course. The pace of the class is quick and it is very easy to fa...

    Thank you so much for your review Allan, feedback like this lets us know that all of our hard work is paying off for our students!

    Your observations about the program are very important points for future students to know.  We understand our curriculum is intensive and requires serious dedication.  It's important to complete all pre-work before day 1 and stay on top of the coursework as it's easy to fall behind. That is why we offer our students numerous avenues for support including in-person and virtual office hours, email and phone support, a dedicated Slack channel, and free tutoring.  We’re glad that our instructors and TAs are succeeding in providing students with the resources they need in and outside of class.

    Congratulations on completing the program! We are proud of all of the hard work you put into learning your new skills and wish you the best in your future endeavors.

    Action-Packed Program

    The course is very challenging for a student who has no background in the subject. Expect to put in tons of time outside of class if you want to succeed. At times the class can start to slow down, but do not let these brief breaths of air fool you. It can be very easy to fall behind if you do not continue to pay attention and practice outside of class.

    Sets the Foundation for a Fantastic Career in Coding!

    The reason I chose this bootcamp over all the others in LA was because it answered three questions I had about choosing a bootcamp. The first was could I keep my full-time job and take this bootcamp? The second was does this course teach the most relevant technology being used by hiring companies? And the third was are these teachers experts in their fields and are they good at teaching? I'll explain more below.
