The material was easy to understand so much so that I felt like I knew most of it with some basic google searching. If I had to break it down 60% I knew about social media and 40% I did not. While this is true I think it helps with myself to know that the research I was looking up was true. What I like is the accelerated course aspect. I learned material in a month that would probably take a whole college semester which I believe is about 4 months. I learned not only from the teachers but from my fellow students.Overall4.0Curriculum4.0Job supportN/AInstructors5.0 -

The educators took their time to explain the essential concepts of web development and also made time to help anyone that needed more help. The interactive aspect was great as it helped me to address anything I didn't understand right away and avoid any confusion and frustration. I also enjoyed the ability to attend class from the comfort of my own home. It was very convenient. I took away many things from this course that has helped me to be more confident in my coding.

What was it like?
Lots of lessons, advice, coaching and support. We were assigned a LOT of work and we were each pushed to our individual limits – our teachers were determined to get the most out of us. But we were motivated, due to the camaraderie and support.
At the start of the course, I thought I would fail because I wouldn't be able to work hard enough. But I was given lots of support, and the environment was perfect for motivation, and I found that I WAS able to work hard enough.
Our teachers were top-level. One of our teachers had the greatest teaching skill I've ever known. Another had extremely high-performing career experience and was full of essential career, performance, technical and life advice. We learnt not just data science techniques, or industry best-practice, but industry top-level practice and how to organise our lives better.
Overall, due to the structure and people, I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. I am now moving into ML engineering and this course brought be up to the right level, covering everything I need.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support4.0Instructors5.0
