Shop around a bit I did the 20-week data science program and it taught me the basics of what a data analyst and data engineer does. Note the difference! You will need experience and training beyond this course to make it as a data scientist. The certificate is way too expensive in my opinion. If you are a beginner, you definitely will learn a bunch and it will take 25 hours per week at a minimum to understand. The teachers were cool and they gave us plenty of opportunities to ask for help beyond the weekly meetings. However, the "career service" was just Zoom calls explaining how to connect on Linked In. To land a career as an analyst, you will likely need a bachelor's degree to compete with the hundreds of other resumes. This course might benefit someone who knows how to start a business with a few other people. Other than that, you will need to either know someone in the field willing to hire you or go all out on their career path via Linked-In (message 10 people per day) to gain employment. However, you can find basic data science courses for less than $50 to test out the waters before committing to a course of this magnitude and expense.

I like this bootcamp I like this bootcamp. It was really extra hard for me because I have two small kids and am going through a divorce, but for an average person who has someone to help them take care of chores and meals this is definitely a doable program although alot of hours and at times quite challenging. It feels SO good when you figure out a bug and build the full stack belt exams at the end. When I have shown people what I can make now they seem genuinely very impressed. I just finished last week and am going to look for jobs soon so we will see how that goes but overall I am fairly confident in getting one eventually.

Just go! I did ALOT of research on bootcamps, reading reviews exactly like you are right now... If you're hesitant about attending a BootCamp because you don't know anything about tech, then this is the place for you. I learned so much and accomplished things I never thought I could. Instructors are AMAZING and so helpful! More than anything, Coding Dojo teaches you how to become a self sufficient dev

Online Part Time Accelerated Course Review I was apart of the online part-time accelerated python full stack course and it was overall a great experience! I came into Coding Dojo without any prior experience and left with the ability to build my own website! My cohort, instructors and TA's were a great help and guided me to accomplish a lot. The learning platform was awesome and easy to navigate. I wish I stumbled upon coding dojo sooner. On to the next challenge!

Don't fall for their scam Don't fall for their scam. I graduated from their software development program in 2023. Their curriculum was grabbed from free online sources, they lied about the graduated rates and the placement rates. They lied about helping you get a job as well. All the career service managers ever did was provide you with an excel sheet listing links of job sites and resources that any one can find by googling it themselves. Also half the links they provided were from websites that do not exist anymore. They also had limited space for helping you in meetings and then blamed you for not seeing them when "time is available". Coding Dojo sells their program as good for you any age, any place in life, as being able to transition into the tech field when in reality they used inflated numbers. Anyone that could not find a job that ended up freelancing on fiverr or volunteering and working for free was counted as "hired" and "successful" in Coding Dojo's eyes. All my instructors were previous students of theirs that hadn't found a job yet. All our TA's were also previous graduates from which only 1/3 of them were actually any good to help with problems that came up, however, none of them were good when it came to you trying something new for a project. Essentially, if it wasn't in the curriculum then they did not know anything about it or how to help you. Most of the time, you had more help and learned more from other students after the program ended. I have learned more from Udemy courses, Coursera courses, and free coding websites than from Coding Dojo bootcamp. Now I am stuck with a PRIVATE student loan from a servicing company that Coding Dojo pushes for you to use and that loan servicer does not care about lowering payments, postponing payments more than 3 months for a total of 9 months, or any help at all. Most of us are still out of a job or had to go back to our old job now with more debt. Some of us, including myself, have filed for bankruptcy because a $500 private student loan monthly payment is ridiculous when we can barely afford a living in this economy. Coding Dojo and Ascent Funding should be sued for putting so many students through financial hardship and should refund students their money.
