$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.

I 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.

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!!!!

I am disappointment and the unfulfilled… I am disappointment and the unfulfilled structure of this bootcamp. I was given an overview of the materials and concepts of what would be taught and since then there has been no structure. We learn a few topics then jump back and forth between concepts. Since I have started there has no been no follow up on homework or any projects we have done. All of the homework they are giving us as students are FREE ! The teachers are a hit or miss. They either show up or not, and if the teachers are not able to attend class there is a fill in sub that teaches us nothing! There have been times where the teachers have forgotten they have to teach class and showed up 30 or more minutes late. We are constantly having new teachers. The lack of communication is beyond me. When having a question or wanting to talk to the teachers on the side they take a week or more to respond. I don’t feel like the money I am paying is worth it. I am highly dissatisfied. I’ve tried talking to the bootcamp to see if they are willing to meet me half-way but they have refused to help and refund me money. I was not the only student that felt this way so we spoke to the CP team regarding all of the issues and wrote a petition because again this was not what was promised and failed to deliver for the services I thought I would be paying for. Qazi won’t refund the 12+ students that are unhappy Yet they have live event tours and charge for this Bootcamp (15/21K) depending who you ask ?! It Varys I asked People are now having to pay for this with nothing in return because he doesn’t want to. there was no resolution on trying to get a refund. He simply will not do it because he doesn’t want to lose money

The Best of the Best!!! Clever Programmer is an amazing group of people that go out of their way to listen and help others become better developers. I went on the Javascript tour LA and if there is any other one I will 100% recommend!!. I am so happy with them that i decided to join the Bootcamp and react intensive course.
