Actualize

Actualize was an incredible experience. I was interested in switching careers and recalled Actualize from several years ago. The instruction is clear without too much hand holding. From week 1, we were writing code and learning more than we even realized at the time. The program definitely packs a lot into a short time period but I would highly recommend it to someone either looking to complement their current skill set or switch careers. Grads stick around and both the TAs and instructors...

Actualize was a great experience and Brian was a phenomenal instructor. I loved it so much that I wish it went longer. 

I chose Actualize because it was the only bootcamp that offered an "online live" class. I was able to do the class at home or wherever I was and it was a real class with people and a teacher who actually knows how to teach. The experience overall was great. The teacher and the TAs were so helpful in breaking down concepts and Actualize has a month of prework to teach you the basics of development before you jump in and start learning frameworks. I'd recommend Actualize to anyone who wants ...

The above bootcamp is an excellent coding bootcamp where you get the chance to learn and execute with the basic fundamentals of coding (software) and web (software) development. Its very intellectually based; be ready to work hard and schedule days around coding Rails and JS.

Once I decided to make a career change, I took my time trying to find a bootcamp that would really teach me how to code. I found Actualize and sat in on a class, Peter's energetic but relaxed and fun style was exactly what I was looking for. I cannot believe that, I, someone who did not know a line of code, was actually able to build an app from scratch. Peter and the Actualize team were absolutely amazing. I am so glad I found them and am looking forward to working as a web developer.

I am so happy to have found Actualize when I did! It allowed me to have the perfect balance of learning to become a developer while being able to keep my full time job. Coming from having zero experience, this bootcamp definitely understood how to cater to that and helping me feel comfortable learning something so new. The instructors and TAs are amazing and super personable. I would definitely recommend Actulalize to anyone who is interested in becoming a software developer!

Actualize was an amazing bootcamp to choose. People of all experience levels can join Actualize. Josh, my cohort's instructor, is not only an incredible teacher and extremely knowledgeable, but also has industry experience and is able to give great practical advice when it comes to a software engineering career search. 

Actualize also has a dedicated "job hacking" program which places emphasis on building habits to land your first coding job. Lisa, the program's head, is a great ...

I attended the 13 week course, it starts off a little overwhelming but as the weeks go on it became more fun to code and I am glad I  took the chance with Actualize.  

I went into this course with zero coding experience. I was a Film & Media arts student that was struggling to find a niche in my field, so I decided to try a career change, and I took a delve into Actualize. It was an amazing experience, as an individual with no coding experience I was very nervous about how I would keep up with some of the other students, but the first month was dedicated to prework. The prework caught me up to speed and I felt comfortable being in the cod...

What's up fellow Course Reporters!

I am here to tell you about my experience at Actualize. In short, fantastic. Great teacher, assistants, and overall community environment. Would recommend 10/10.

I will mention however, if you are not determined and completely focused on these 12 weeks of your life then it will be a waist. Coming into this program I new that I would be sacrificing a social life, sleep, and many other things get the most out of t...

I graduated from Actualize in Chicago in December 2018. My experience was excellent. The course was structured very thoughtfully and thoroughly. The head instructor was my teacher and he was excellent. He always made the material interesting and interactive. It is a bootcamp. The hours are long and you must put in the work to achieve what you want out of it, but Actualize is totally worth it if you as an individual are willing to put the time in.

I would highly recommend anyone to commit to an Actualize course who has a goal of becoming a full-stack software engineer. After researching several different bootcamps I made the decision to attend the Actualize bootcamp and it was absolutely the right decision for me. The instructors are excellent educators. Their teaching methods, support, and guidance are superior and allow students to be successful throughout the entire course. This course is not only phenomenal for the skills that a...
