Fullstack Mastery bootcamp student Fullstack Mastery bootcamp student here. I'm very happy with the results of my bootcamp experience taking me from someone dabbling with code to someone who has a firm grasp of major frontend and backend principles, project building experience, and team-oriented developer methodologies. Pros - fantastically engaging instructors - focus on deep learning of JavaScript basics and application of constant problem solving - guided self-learning projects - readily available community to push you forward as you build and develop skills - emphasis on continuous improvement as technologies change Cons - capstone project structure was disorganized - too little time spent on backend (node.js) as a fullstack program

had to file a chargeback because they refused to refund me within 48hrs of checking out their slack channel, I was convinced that their lack of support, unanswered student questions, canceled zoom meetings, and low activity was not worth the price, there's a lot more active more communities on Discord, Twitter, etc, I emailed for a refund, and both Melanie from support and Qazi emailed me back trying to make me continue with the program, ignoring my refund request, Melanie later informed me she'd forward my request and I haven't heard from her since even though she's still posting on slack, but as far as learning JS and React, you can learn those two more affordably via Udemy and Youtube, and by building projects using concepts you learned so the material sticks, I truly regret ever doing business with this guy.

I was a student on this course and here… I was a student on this course and here is my experience and review: The coaching calls are overcrowded and you don’t really get to learn anything because to many people are trying to ask or answer questions at the same time whilst one of the Cp team members are covering an important topic and can't wait to the end for Q & A. The team has their notifications switched off on the slack channel so there is no way to reach them for feedback and the only way is during a coaching call which you can imagine everyone trying to get all their questions asked that they boiled up during the week, There should be various caching calls with less students on each call, I mean if they have nearly 2000 students in the course x the amount paid by each person then you should have enough capital to be able to have more coaching calls with less students instead of everyone cramming into a zoom call. There should be breaks in the coaching calls for Q & A and not interrupting the person that is presenting. (You end up losing focus). There are only in fact 2 coaching calls a week that are presented by the experienced CP team (Tuesdays and Thursdays). The other coaching calls are held by students who are only 5 or 6 months into the course who have no industry experience. I thought the success coaches would be either of the CP team members or people who are experienced. Their business model is built up on students helping students, I mean you can get the same slack community for less money, Andrei Neagoie's Zero To Mastery Academy or courses on Udemy also have a slack channel with an awesome community. I tried to do a 1 on 1 call with a success coach that the CP team provided for me, who I honestly thought worked for them and guess what... the guy didn’t pitch. I was really excited and woke up at 6am for the call which was scheduled for 6:30am, waited until after 7am and not even a courtesy email or message on slack that the guy couldn’t make it. When I reported this to the support team, nothing came of it nor was there any effort made from their side. I think that is where my motivation and excitement for the course ended. I did mention it in the feedback form that the coaching calls are over crowded but nothing came of it. I paid a lot of money for this course only to have the coaching calls and the course modules streamed to YouTube so don’t see the value that this course has to offer besides great marketing. Their course content is pre recorded videos and you can access their exercises for free on their GitHub account or watch their videos via their YouTube channel. Maybe you have had a better experience then me but that's just my experience and so I have decided to rather invest in a bootcamp. PS: I did get my money back, thank goodness. Is this course worth the money being spent, oh hell no!!!!

Promises Made But Not Kept Clever Programmer is a Hype Machine that makes promises, but can't deliver on them. The program is unorganized, unprofessional, under-delivered, and unstructured. 1. Disorganized with curriculum (nothing cohesive or transparent) 2. Lack of homework guidance, providing original homework, and no feedback on homework. 3. Lack of accountability by coaches. 4. Lack of communication between all employees. 5. Lack of standard pricing and price ranges from $5K to $22K. Need clearer pricing for all students. 6. Unprofessional because they cancelled a week of class because of their marketing event. There were no preparations to continue class because they needed our instructor, Naz. 7. Lack of consideration for all students. I got out of my contract because of health reasons, but everything I stated above is true. I am thankful I got out of my contract and it only cost me $1100 and I was switched to PWJ. But there are 13 + of my classmates who are fighting for a refund and Qazi won't give them a refund and IT IS HIS choice to do so. He gave two of my classmates a refund that I know of, but no one else. Shady stuff seems to go on there with the lack of communication.

The worst possible 'instructors'. The worst possible 'instructors'.. when your 'teachers' are teenagers or less than 25 you should think about what your doing. Just think about that for a minute.
