    Great Learning Experience

    Wonderful staff and teachers, great offices, very clear and helpful courses and curriculum.The instructor was amazing - he was clearly experienced in both the subject matter and how to teach, and made every topic feel approachable. He intuitively seemed to understand what concepts the class needed more time on, and was able to be flexible, sometimes introducing concepts typically outside the scope of the course when we seemed ready to try a more advanced topic. Having support not just du...

    A challenging but incredibly rewarding experience

    The UX Design program covers a lot of material in just 3 months so it is very intense, but it will certainly prepare you for a successful career switch, transforming you from knowing nothing about UX/UI to feeling confident and ready to land a role in the industry after graduation. The educators were very knowledgeable and great at providing the necessary support and guidance. They were always available when needed and did a fantastic job at explaining the content, it was a pleasure to l...

    challenging, rewarding, intense, fun, not very inclusive.

    The course is intense and fast paced, with no days off for 3 months straight.
    It's an incredible learning experience that can add to your skillset. Getting through it was the most rewarding feeling and it's a good place to practice time management and resilience.

    I would have wished to see more inclusivity and support for neurodiversity. 
    There is no time to catch up if you're struggling to keep up.
    One thing I found totally heartbreaking was when they told me that "maybe...

    Digital Marketing course

    The course was great. Davide was really helpful and knowledgeable and able to answer all of my questions. I learned a lot from the course and I definitely intend to take other courses! It would be great to have more information on content marketing, though.

    Great bootcamp / crash course into product management fundamentals

    Great Bootcamp / crash course into product management fundamentals. 
    Very interesting course, and great to hear about experiences from a professional product manager.

    2 of my favorite things about the course were hearing Jeremy's interesting opinions on different aspects of product management and the group work projects were very, very fun!!
    Makes me wish the group work was actually my job!

    Very good experience

    Overall this bootcamp was a very good experience. I gained a lot of knowlegde that is useful for my future careers. Though the whole course was very rushed and the hours were long, the content was very valuable and it gave an opportunity for people who have full time jobs. More time to ask questions may be good. Cameras should not be mandatory as some people do not have access to cameras or they are not in the environment to have their camera on.

    Excellent Engaging Data Analytics Course!

    I absolutely found this course amazing! I am a student that has no previous experience in tech, yet the course is super beginner friendly. I love how my instructors are all in top tech industries teaching us strategies they use in their day-to-day work. I was able to learn SQL and grasp Tableau in such a short period and I couldn't do it without the help of my instructors, Nathan and Wesley!!!
