GB$2,000 Scam for their bootcamp Back in February of 2023 I decided to join their bootcamp so I applied. The first step was to do a call and tell them why I wanted to join, the call was normal until they ask me how much money I had saved on my bank account. That's when they told me that it will cost me $2,000 (huge red flag) so I paid without thinking too much about it. 1 week later they told me that it was going to be a 6 month bootcamp. After the first 2 weeks of the bootcamp all the teachers stop answering and thats all I ever heard from them. I email them and nothing to this day (April 2024). Don't expend any money for any of their classes is a waste I would sue then but I rather use my money somewhere else.

GBStarted off well, then turned into a disaster I started in the March Cohort. It was the second cohort ever so I expected some road bumps but it was a disaster. I only paid 7.5k since it was an earlier one and it was a complete waste of money. If I had paid ~20k like they're charging now I would have sued them. For most of the teachers in our cohort, this was their first dev job. They have barely any experience. My teacher that we got dumped on in late April was always saying how he's tired from working all day and how he's out of it. Are you kidding me? we spent a lot of money and we get these half-ass teachers. I complained and got moved to a later BootCamp so I could learn with a better teacher and they did so there's that but since I had been teaching myself on youtube (because that was better than the 7.5k BootCamp I paid for) I just gave up and continued to learn on my own. I ended up getting a job based on the stuff I taught myself. They constantly harassed me after I ignored all their requests for a review since "they got me a job". So here it is, your review. Please stop calling and texting me all the time. The students who got jobs from the Boot Camp were basically experts when they joined. Most of the students from my cohort who actually finished are still trying to find jobs. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I have no one to blame but myself. I joined profit with javascript and that class was a joke and then I signed up for the BootCamp thinking it would be different. I made a good friend out of the Boot Camp. That is the only positive besides their willingness to let me switch cohorts. Don't buy anything on this site unless you love lighting money on fire.

GBI give only a less than average score… I give only a less than average score for Clever Programmer. I attended their live classes on Youtube and Facebook multiple times as well as watched many of their videos online. There were a couple problems I noticed which made their program not for me. 1. They were always late for live sessions. I have been working in the IT field since 1989. Being late is just not good practice. You must respect the time of everyone who wants to learn and they just didn't seem to do that. That's a big red flag for me and not professional. 2. I found other instructors who were better teachers for me and taught the same items that PWJ did for a fraction of the cost. Much of the information can even be found for free. In summary, the price they charge just is not worth it in my opinion, everything they teach can be found somewhere else for free or for significantly less. They do not respect the time of others joining their live sessions online. If you say you are going to start at 1:00, do not finally start at 1:30. This is just not professional and it happened often - too often for my liking. After much thought about whether I should join or not, I decided not to. Many reviews tell you if you are on the fence, just join now. I decided to hop off the fence and run the other way, I am very happy with the decision I made and the total cost I paid to learn Web Development, front-end, Back-end, React and so much more was $40 via other sources.

CAGreat course! The pre-recorded videos are good, but the live sessions are what makes this course better than the rest. Multiple times a week there are live sessions with the teachers where the students can learn coding concepts, but also ask questions! Also, if you miss one, all the previous live sessions are recorded and available for you to catch up.

GBHe's made $5M selling dreams It's a glorified YouTube playlist locked behind a paywall and he made millions by convincing people that his courses are better than anyone else's by making people trust him from watching his YouTube videos. If you are a masochist and like to watch boring dragged-out videos that are less organized than they are on YouTube, go support his financial dreams. I did a review on an actual educational company on my profile, go check that it out if you want to learn.
