    Code, Communication, Community

    I graduated from Fullstack's WDF-2011 cohort in February of 2021. Regarding the stack we learned, based on my conversations with other developers, and what I've seen in the job market - it's a solid group of tech. PostgreSQL, Node.js, Express, React/Redux, plus a few other associated libraries - all of them seem to be in demand skills for the current openings. But more importantly, and perhaps most valuable, was Fullstack's focus on pair-programming, technical communication, and teammwor...

    Full Tuition Scholarship

    I really enjoyed the bootcamp, but I was definitely a special case as I was awarded a full-tuition scholarship which heavily influenced my decision to attend. The instruction was top-notch, and my cohort was mostly professional and hard-working. The skills you'll learn are valuable and marketable, but competition in the job market is intense, and you may struggle after the bootcamp. Most bootcamp grads will find a job in their industry in 6 months to a year after graduating. So, make sur...

    A Risky Option

    Fullstack Academy has great curriculum and great instructors. I can confidently say that I came out there with the appropriate knowledge to identify myself as a software engineer. The instructors are helpful and insightful and the curriculum itself was fun because of its challenging nature. NOW, the only caveat is that job assistance is POOR. There are many in my cohort who STILL do not have jobs, I am really only one of the few. I also do not think Fullstack has a vested interest in you...

    Completely Unprofessional

    I reached out to Fullstack to schedule a call to discuss their software engineering immersive because I am going to make a decision ASAP.  Not only could they not make time to speak with me for almost 4 days... THEY NEVER EVEN SHOWED UP FOR THE CALL!  They sent me a calendar invite which I accepted, it had my phone number right in the appointment, but they were late.  I emailed them about 5 minutes after the appointment time and no response.  I emailed them 15 minutes after the appointme...

    Life Changing!

    The Grace Hopper Program was fast paced and I had moments where I struggled to absorb every piece of information that was thrown at me. However, I'm so glad I completed this bootcamp. It was well worth all of the hard work (even post-bootcamp). I think this program is great for people like me who really want a career change and want an organized, structured curriculum to follow. I enjoyed a lot of aspects: the instructors, the engaging lectures/workshops, pair programming, and senior pha...

    Coding Bootcamp

    Fullstack Academy was a great experience. I went from knowing virtually nothing about software engineering to building fully functional web applications within the span of a few months. Full warning this bootcamp is a lot of work, be prepared to spend your weekends and free time studying. But if you're willing to put in the work Fullstack provides an incredibly supportive team to help you achieve your goals.

    Fullstack changed my life

    I know the title is dramatic, but that is genuinely how I feel. I first heard about in Fullstack when my partner went about a year and a half ago. I saw how good his experience was and knew it was legitimate when he got a job as an engineer just a few months after graduating. 

    I took Bootcamp Prep in January and now less than 9 months later I have accepted an offer as an Apprentice Software Engineer at a reputable startup in Chicago. I was connected with the job through a Fullstac...

    One of the best decisions I've made.

    I applied to Fullstack on recommendation from a couple of friends who are developers. I had looked into 2 other highly respected bootcamps as well, but was not interested in the hours they offered. Fullstack is 5 days a week 9-6, while the other two were something like 9-8 M-F and 10-5 or so on Sat. Perhaps they end up covering more at the other schools, but I'm not certain. I knew that I would need to get enough rest, and that I would probably have enough to study on the weekends anyway...

    Worth the money!

    My experience at the Grace Hopper Program at Fullstack Academy was extremely positive. Pivoting your career can be nerve-wracking and scary but I started to feel like a software engineer right off the bat at this bootcamp. I decided to apply to Grace Hopper for two reasons. One, it's exclusively a women and non-binary coding program, which is so rare in the tech and software engineering world. Two, the deferred payment plan is super helpful, especially since I uprooted my life to make a ...

    Web development immersive bootcamp in NYC.

    I was starting with simple test about any programming language usage. After that I've got an invitation to attend one week JavaScript course for free. Then it was preparation to the course at home and final exam to get started bootcamp junior phase. The process was so excited that I did not think a lot and made a start.

    Cyber Security

    The instructors are extremely technical, smart, and knowledgeable.  This rubs off on you in a positive way.  You learn how to be technical and gain the ability to learn new technologies, which applies when you get your first job.  The bootcamp is extremely difficult but you learn a completely new skillset and are fully prepared for the job market, minus one or two things you may have to do on your own in an ever changing cyber security job market.  But, to get an entry level position in ...

    Full-stack immersive software engineer program teaching fellow

    I first joined Fullstack Academy's bootcamp prep course which is only $99 and I also received a complete refund for completing the course. My bootcamp prep instructor Sarah was super passionate and she explained all Javascript in clear logic which was super helpful. After completing the prep course, I became close friend with Sarah and a couple of other students at Fullstack Academy. I got a sense of their supportive culture and decided to enroll in their full-time immersive course.
