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.

GBThe 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.

GBPromises 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.

FRDO NOT BUY THIS COURSE! DO NOT BUY THIS COURSE, I BEGUE YOU! Guys, there is TONS of FREE courses on internet, TONS! Just as there are plenty of people whiling to help you for free too! Just take a look on bad comments, people complaining about "no help", "chaotic course", "already available for free" or "no refund"! You really want to pay for a course? Ok no problem, go for: - codecademy - wesbos.com - codewithmosh.com And so on way more cheaper than 500 bucks for ONLY JAVASCRIPT! Don't be tricked, those marketers just want your money! They stole me (yeah, I know it's mentioned, but I don't care) almost 300$, saying they can't refund me the first payment even if it's under 30 days guarantee! W-T-F You really want to be a CLEVER PROGRAMMER? Keep your money and just study on Youtube / Freecodecamp or even with the affordable courses I gave above!
