Woz U is an EdTech enterprise that offers 33-week online software development, cybersecurity, and data science courses. Students will learn full stack development including HTML basics, CSS, Java, Javascript, and C#. The data science bootcamp covers tools such as Python, R, SQL, and NoSQL with Mongo and Node.JS. Woz U was founded by Steve Wozniak who, in 1977 with Steve Jobs, created the first personal computers at Apple. Woz U’s mission is to disrupt the current education model and create a new learning ecosystem to elevate human capital in technical careers. Woz U aims to revolutionize education by providing organizations with affordable technology curricula and training to offer to students and employees. Woz U's Education-as-a-Service business model is designed to help governments, schools and businesses sustain their ever-changing technical skill gaps and talent demands.
Woz U bootcamps are meant for students with no prior programming experience. The application process for all Woz U programs starts by filling out an online form, then a quick technical quiz.
Woz U graduates receive career service assistance to help guide them through the job placement process. Students and alumni will be given tips to help build their resume, improve their job search techniques, and to better prepare themselves for the interview process. In line with their belief that education should be affordable for all, Woz U provides a number of grant options for those who need it. They offer a financial literacy grant; a Hero Grant for military members, first responders, and their spouses; for all other students, they offer a Student Success Grant which provides financial assistance.
The program is designed to teach you how to think like a programmer and how to learn. There's a LOT of content and although it is impossible to master it all in the 33 week duration, what you gain is a solid introduction to full stack development and the skills to keep learning after graduating.

The program is designed to teach you how to think like a programmer and how to learn. There's a LOT of content and although it is impossible to master it all in the 33 week duration, what you gain is a solid introduction to full stack development and the skills to keep learning after graduating.
A bootcamp can't teach you everything (you CAN'T know everything- even senior level developers don't!) but I will say that this program teaches you how TO BE a software developer. It's not about memorizing syntax or skimming through the lessons as fast as you can. The assignments and final projects are challenging and you have to utilize all the resources you can to be successful. The workshops are awesome, the instructors are top-notch and the mentors make such a difference in your learning.
After completing the program, it's just the beginning of your coding journey! There are plenty of success stories of graduates being hired in the industry (myself included). I continue to learn more everyday thanks to Woz U.

I entered into this program with no prior programming experience so that is probably a big reason why I struggled the first couple of months. My mentor, instructor, and ambassador wouldn’t let me quit even though I tried and they pushed me through the program. The program took longer than expected because I repeated a couple of the harder courses but just a few weeks after presenting my final project I’m working as a Jr Developer.

An all encompassing program, stacked really well to make it easy to build on your previous knowledge. Needs some work in the support department, but has been improving:)

Data science is considered a new field and its rate of change is exponential. Woz U was established for this reason: to create an educational organaztion that can swiftly adapt and subdue the need for innovation to reliably provide outstanding members of the technology workforce. I graduated the Data Science program and have seen the emphasis on constant improvement and adherence to the most cutting edge knowledge and skills required for these fields, which traditional school structures cannot keep up with at the demand the workforce needs. The Woz U staff had the uttmost level of personablilty, cartering to each individual and their unqiue situation. The instructors and mentors made it clear that there were there to put as much energy needed to help you succeed in achieving mastery of the cirriculum and they definitely came through on that. I am in the job seeking phase and the career advisors are very thorugh and dedicated, being optimistic yet realisitc, willing to persevere until the students caereer goals are reached! If you want a fast track to the new and exciting worlds of technology, join Woz U!

Having the opportunity to learn a new concept as Data Scientist was of the best decisions ever! I started at WozU brand new to the concept, amazing methods, really advanced and first on knowledge for new and better solutions to our daily live in this era of ML and AI. I upskill my technical skills by learning from gathering of data, wrangling the data, analyzing its components and create visualizations for better models. It also teached me how to create different comparisons for almost any possible scenario that you can encounter to solve at work. The course makes you capable of performing multiple tasks inside an organization, which I found really helpful creating a better macro picture of any analysis or situation that I want to investigate and solve. The platform helped me stay up to date with what is ocurring inside the industry, and being a graduate and now Coder for Life student; it really puts you on the edge of this amazing campus. Teachers and Staff are of the best, you can rely on instructors for all types of questions and with dedication and perseverance the course comes to an awesome conclusion. Definitely recommend if you are looking to upskill any type of skills involving data analysis, web development or cyber security. WozU staff takes care of its students as if we are a family...what's best?

Please avoid this company at all cost! Within the first week I realized this school was nothing but bs. They steal curriculum from other free coding websites and sell it to you with absolutely no help learning the material at all. I asked multiple times to be removed school and the only response I got was scare tactics and manipulation. I was told by many people there that the second I signed my name I was committed to the loan in FULL. So regardless if i quit the first day or complete the course I would owe 100% of the loan. Which is not true! Later after finding my contract online re-reading my contract I could have but their financial person I spoke with dodged the question and even outright ignored phone calls and emails from me. After being scare and manipulate to just finish the course with the hopes I could get a decent job afterwards I finally graduated in 2018 and was told to contact the lady that help with finding jobs. Which basically ended up me sending about 5 email to her with NO response at all and after talking a supervisor I was told just to look on indeed. So here we are in the end off 2019 still no job a loan company harassing me for payment on a $12,220.34 loan I have no way of ever paying.
