    Reality Check

    At the risk of shooting myself in the foot…I’d like to present a reality check of the DU Data Analytics bootcamp based on my experience last year and hopefully help someone who’s considering whether or not to drop 10 grand on the dream.

    First of all, class lectures were pretty frustrating and more demoralizing than encouraging. Secondly, the support system isn’t really geared for those who are struggling.

    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Chris. We're happy to hear you found our instructional team to be knowledgeable and benefited from the insight of our career services team. 

    From your review, we understand that you were frustrated by the high-level nature of the class lectures. As the technical job market continuously changes, our program is designed to help individuals graduate with the necessary skills to quickly learn new frameworks and languages on their own. As such, our instructors cover multiple topics in a limited amount of time. We do our best to communicate to students that topics are introduced at a high-level in-class, after which individuals are expected to dive in, and not only gain a deeper understanding of the concepts but also practice their skills outside of the classroom. Each lesson builds on the last and we find that as the curriculum progresses, most participants feel increasingly confident in the knowledge they've gained. This methodology helps individuals learn how to problem-solve and self-teach — crucial abilities needed in any data role. Due to the fast pace of the course, as well as the challenging topics covered, we do offer several means of support including office hours, Slack, and free tutoring sessions. Were you able to take advantage of these?

    Our entire boot camp team is passionate about making sure students are supported, so we regret that you felt your Student Success Manager was not responsive. While we support many students throughout the program, we do our best to ensure that all inquiries are addressed and students' needs are met. Like you mentioned, we do require participants to submit weekly feedback on instructor clarity, engagement, and knowledgeability. The student experience is our number one priority and our teams meet every week to monitor and optimize classroom performance. We truly appreciate your input, as we're constantly working on improving our support to ensure individuals have the best learning experience possible.

    While we work hard to prepare students to step out into the job market, we do not secure direct employment. We help individuals become employer competitive through a variety of resources and tools, including technical interview training, portfolio reviews, resume/social media profile support, online Tech Talk panels, and one-on-one coaching with their Career Director.

    It's our goal for all students to complete the program feeling equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to find the right tech role. If you would like, please reach out to us at (303) 747-4493 to further discuss any other ways we can assist you at this time.

    Some good lessons to be had here but not what they say it is...

    I graduated from this bootcamp back in 2022. At least that is what my grade reflects and what my teachers and TAs said. Unfortunately-- I never received my certificate. I worked extremely hard and got a 92% overall. So an A-, but never received any type of certificate to show for it. This bootcamp was $10,000 by the way.

    On top of all this I was promised a very high graduate to job ratio, as long as I pay attention and can pass. As far as I can tell there are onl...

I was able to learn multiple concepts needed to become a Full Stack Developer.

    Flex Class Aug 2021 - Feb 2022

    I do not recommend this program if you are a beginner, the class actually starts upon enrollment with what's called PRE-WORK, it's not graded, but it gets you to the level necessary for the class. I expected to start class on a specific day, I had no idea there was 15 assignments I needed to complete to be ready, I got to #5. When class started it was much higher than beginner, the instructor moved fast through the lessons, the breakout rooms were a joke (the blind leading the blind), on...

    Thank you for your feedback, Damon. We regret to hear your student experience did not live up to your expectations.

    Our boot camp serves a mix of individuals ranging from beginners to professionals. For those without prior web development experience, we do our best to emphasize the importance of completing the 30 hours of pre-work and exploring additional introductory learning materials prior to the start of the class. It is our goal to provide a beneficial learning experience for all of our students and we are constantly modifying our material in order to best prepare learners for the challenging nature of the curriculum.

    Like you mentioned, this program is true to the bootcamp name—fast-paced and rigorous. We start slow, with the intensity and difficulty of the course material ramping up to advanced topics rather quickly. We are proud of our dynamic curriculum and do find that as the course progresses, students begin feeling more and more confident in their mastery of the material. We never want to set up participants for failure and as such supplement the classroom learning experience with additional academic support in the form of free tutoring sessions, office hours, contact with instructors and TAs, and optional one-on-one meetings with student support or career services team members. We take feedback like yours seriously and continuously work to provide learners with the assistance they need to be successful.

    We sincerely care about all our students and it is our goal for everyone to leave our program feeling equipped with the skills they need to succeed. We would love the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn how else we can assist you at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us at (303) 223-1868.

    I had high hopes for this bootcamp, but after a disappointing learning experience with disruptions to instructors and instructors not having a grasp of the materials -- I spent long hours teaching myself material so I could turn in homework.  I was close to signing up for the masters program at DU, but after my treatment after I rose concerns I will be looking for another program.

    Thank you for your feedback, Emelie. We regret to hear that the program did not live up to your expectations.

    We recognize that the curriculum is fast-paced and challenging while covering a wide range of technologies. We strive to communicate to students prior to enrolling that they will need to spend 20-30 hours a week studying outside of class in order to truly succeed. Like you mentioned, topics are introduced at a high level in-class, after which learners are expected to dive in and not only gain a deeper understanding of the concepts covered but practice and research their skills on their own. We do offer several means of support including office hours, Slack, and free tutoring sessions. We hope you were able to find these resources beneficial.

    We vet our instructors carefully, hiring practitioners with a minimum of three years of experience in the field in lieu of traditional professors in order to simulate real-life working environments.  Throughout our boot camp, we analyze and assess their performance, levels of engagement, and mastery of the coursework they will cover, providing feedback to help them further develop their teaching skills. Each instructor works to facilitate a productive and collaborative environment for all participants throughout the entirety of the course, but realize not all teaching styles will resonate with all individuals. Your cohort did experience a disruption due to your instructor encountering unforeseen health concerns. As such, our team worked hard to accommodate each student during this unexpected incident and were confident that the remainder of the course was delivered successfully. However, we understand that your instructor's unplanned departure did require some adjustments and apologize for any inconvenience this caused.

    We pride ourselves on teaching individuals how to build a strong foundational skill set and take input like yours seriously. We would welcome the opportunity to determine what additional assistance we can provide for you at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us directly at (303) 223-1868.

    It is 100% true when they say that this course is fast paced, but with the help of my instructors, tutors, fellow classmates, and google I was able to gain the necessary skills to become a full stack web developer.

    I took the Data Analytics course and it honestly was the most amazing time I had. If I could go back I would definitely have talked to my peers more. It was online though due to covid and I am sad that we don't get to have an official graduation. But I would definitely do it again if given the chance and try another course. Svitlana, Talon, Jae Jun, and Joe were the best group of people to have as teachers and guides. :)
