    Super-fabulous and convivial!!!

    I must assert that I was not very sure about how this AI training will fit in my current professional career as an Engineer. But considering AI is the new technological era we are in now, I did not want to miss the bus like I did for bitcoins when they first came out. But then, as the program began, I hoped I could integrate AI with my current engineering skills to provide unparallel engineering solutions to complex real life applications in general and to engineering issues in particula...

    AI is not for novice learners

    I would recommend doing the AI Bootcamp ONLY if you have a very solid background in Python. A classmate characterized the class as “having a fire hose strapped to your face!” The curriculum is intense. If you don’t have 30+ hours to commit to the course keep your money. The lead instructor and TA’s in my cohort have been amazing; back office support is very lacking. I haven’t heard from any success advisors, scheduling a tutoring session has been a struggle. 2 or 3 weeks out for availabl...

    Prepare good specialists

    I am happy that I took the UX/UI Design course at Columbia University Engineering.
    Before making my decision, I researched many private courses and programs at other universities. I can tell you that this is the most comprehensive and balanced program at a competitive fee. At others schools, you get a third of the material from this course for the same price. Another important factor is the excellent reputation of Columbia University as one of the most prestigious universities not onl...

    Amazing experience overall!

    I LOVED my experience in the bootcamp. I had some (self-taught) exposure to HTML and CSS before, but otherwise these technologies and skills were totally new to me. I'm amazed at how much I learned including HOW to learn different languages and tools. I feel set up to continue learning on my own.

    As you mention, this boot camp does require learners to dedicate a significant amount of their time outside of class to studying and practicing their skills. We commend you for all of the hard work you put into your experience, as we know it can be challenging to learn so many new concepts and skills in only a few months.

    Tough, fun, memorable

    I would say Columbia boot-camp experience has recently been the most invaluable six months of learning, for me. Though I had a MCSE (Microsoft Certified System Engineering), Data Analytics was totally a new playing field. The class was fast pace, and challenging but with their amazing educational support system (i.e TA, Slack, and 24/7 AskBCS) I'd always catch up to lessons. There were moments I almost quit, then I will remind myself why I started and imagine the light at the end of the ...

    A few months ago, if you had asked me anything about code or web development I would've had to plead the 5th amendment. Fast forwarding to now, the Columbia Full Stack Bootcamp has been a life-changing and educational experience. To begin, the instructors that taught us were relentless in making sure we were able to understand the subject before moving on to the next. The instructors played a vital role such as simply making the topics not boring or mundane and making the activities as f...

    Great experience!

    I came into this program knowing just basic HMTL. It was quite a fast-paced boot camp, of course even though it was 6 months long. You learn a lot of fundamentals of coding you need to be a front end, back end or full stack developer, (depending on what you like). I genuinely think this experience is something you should try if you definitely are interested in learning how to make you own apps, websites or even learn the beginnings of creating your own game. It is something you will have...
