    Full Stack

    I first heard about a Coding Bootcamp from my cousin who also took a similar bootcamp, but in Seattle, and hers was a year program compared to the 24 week course I took.  I had no clue what coding was until she told me about what she did, and it peaked my interest. I started looking for schools local to me and found the one at the UCR extension.  The course is no joke, it was an instense 24 weeks, in which I spent not only 10 hours in class, but also 40-50 hours of studying.  Studying as i...

    Full-Stack Web Development

    The Coding bootcamp at UCR extension is an excellent course to take for entering the tech industry. It is an intensive course with excellent instructors and TAs. Like any other course, it requires a great deal of studying outside of class. Class is three times a week, twice in the evening and once on Saturday in the mid-morning. It is designed to be taken in addition to working full-time, though I would not recommend balancing full-time employment with this class, since it requires a lot ...

    Before going into this course I had no knowledge of code. This course along with the instructor, Joe Tanksley, and both TA's Sean Roshan & Hans Tang took me from being a zero to hero. It did not come over night and did take a lot of hours studying, but most of all not giving up.

    Life changing upgrade

    When I enrolled in this program, my biggest concern was whether I had what it takes to learn the skills that this class was teaching. Learning cybersecurity felt like a huge task; could I pull it off? Could I handle the deficit of time while working full-time and taking on the challenges of a bootcamp? Turns out, not just myself, but also my classmates had what it takes, and so do you. This program will offer every imaginable resource, from competent tutors to outstanding instructors and...

    Cybersecurity:

    The course was really educational. I have background experience in Software Development, but not in the security point of view.
    I learned how easy it can be to attack other people's networks and getting root access with just a simple script of
    python -c 'import os; os.system("/bin/bash")'

    I learned new techniques like forensic analysis with Autopsy, how to use metasploit and thanks to our professor (Prof.  McDermott) I was introduced into the toys attackers...

    This training is great! Yes it’s a bootcamp and there are days where you struggle but it wouldn’t be a bootcamp if you didn’t struggle. My experience with the Instructors and TA was outstanding. They were there to help you through tough days and took the time needed to fully explain everything. I never left a class not feeling confident of what I learned (Thanks to Instructor and TAs willing to go beyond to help you learn, absorb, apply, guide, etc with whatever you are feeling not confi...

It wasn't easy but the instructors, assistants, faulty and student success managers were amazing and sincerely made their goal to help the entire class succeed. Although, Covid put a major stress on the class and everyone involved. The staff made every effort to ensure that we were getting the most guidance and support throughout the six months.

    Full Stack Web Developer Boot Camp

    My overall experience was great! The challenges presented to our class helped us to believe in our ability to learn, adapt to, and achieve. I have already promoted and got one of my friends signed up for the next class because I felt so good about the outcome. The instructors are very knowledgeable being that they are still involved in the industry, and they are also invested in making sure you understand the curriculum that is being taught. Great class to be in!

    A Good Choice and Experience

    The choice in going to a coding bootcamp was the best choice I could make in order to better my future. I was first scared to take this path mainly because this is my first time working with code; but with the support of the staff AND your classmates the road doesn't seem that scary. If you ever feel like you're struggling you always have access to tutoring, which I found it really helpful. My personal opinion, but I feel that it's worth taking the course if you either want a new path to...

    Improved My Skills

    I would strongly recommend the cybersecurity bootcamp to anyone. The bootcamp greatly improved my current skills and introduced me to applications, skills, and terminology I was never aware of (but needed). After completing the curriculum not only was I more apt, but it helped bring my understanding and expectations within the cybersecurity industry much closer to reality. It helped me decide what job role I would focus on in cybersecurity and the instructor provided a lot of much-needed...
