I chose Actualize because I knew I wanted to learn coding from professionally trained educators. I am so glad I chose Actualize for my bootcamp experience because the learning environment, curriculum and quality instruction was unparalleled!! I am actually... Read More sad that the bootcamp is over and will really miss my instructor and peers who I have developed a bond with over the past 3 months. I joined this bootcamp with no prior tech experience, and now through this course, I have gained a solid foundation of web development skills and feel empowered to make a career change into tech. I also really appreciate the job-hacking curriculum, resources and support services available for students even after graduation, as well as their tech mentorship program and networking Slack channel for graduates. Lastly, I really appreciate that Actualize values DEI and my instructor actively upheld an inclusive space. As someone in the LGBTQ+ community I felt comfortable and celebrated here as my authentic self. Look no further if you are considering pursuing a coding bootcamp.

I chose Actualize because: The materials on their website had a sense of humor I responded to I was able to set up a financing plan The curriculum includes Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, React, and jobhunting skills/resources The schedule fit my schedule (11am-4pm... Read More Central Time Monday through Friday) I came into the class with some technical background and still found the experience educational and worthwhile. I'm leaving the class with a bunch of ideas on things I want to build, things I want to try out, and the confidence to tackle new subjects/languages that I probably would not have tried exploring if left to my own devices.

It was super intimidating at first because I really didnt have all that much experience beforehand and I didnt know what to expect but Im so glad I took the leap and went for it anyway. The cohort was amazing, the TAs were awesome and the teacher was... Read More top tier. It was honestly one of the most worth while things Ive done for myself in a long time.

I went into the bootcamp knowing only what I was able to teach myself a few weeks prior and I was a it intimidated by that fact. The pre-work they have for you before actual classes start was perfect to get me started and I never felt like I was drowning.... Read More Then the actual bootcamp was exactly what I wanted! I learned lots of really great skills but the most important skill I feel like I picked up was the ability to teach myself. Even before the end of the bootcamp I was able to start teaching myself another language and make an app with it. No regrets about my choice at all.

I loved that the course had live instruction in the online classroom. It made the learning experience so much better and thorough to be able to ask questions as we went along.
