    Zero regrets

    I completed the Summer 2023 bootcamp. Very challenging course, but for someone who had zero prior experience in coding or anything tech related I look back and can barely believe how much I was able to learn in 14 weeks. The instructors were top notch and the awesome inc community are all really supportive and helpful! Nothing but good things to say about this course, well worth it!

    Awesome foundation building for my career as a software developer!

    I attended the Summer 2023 remote bootcamp at Awesome inc. The experience has helped build a good foundation for my journey as a software developer, and taught me "how to learn" in a very short amount of time. The instructors were responsive, knowledgeable, and helpful. On several occasions they went above and beyond with the giving of their time (even after hours) to help us in our learning. I appreciate their commitment to our success, and I would recommend this programming bootcamp to...

    Tough but worth it.

    The experience I had in the boot camp was extremely time consuming and difficult, but overall it was a great learning experience. Although it might be hard task to handle especially with some of the time constraints, they have very helpful and well educated teachers there to help guide you along and point you in the right direction that you need to be heading to easily tackle whatever challenge comes your way. The way at which the boot camp moved was very fast, but like stated before the...

    An Awesome Experience

    Awesome Inc U Web Development Bootcamp was everything that was promised, and more than I had imagined. While I didn't go into the experience thinking it would be easy, I couldn't have imagined the rigors of taking on such an endeavor. It was well worth the time and financial investment. More importantly, it helped me learn in a way that was conducive to being prepared for the position I took in Quality Assurance/Development with a local tech company in Lexington. Could I have continued tea...

    A Great Experience

    I went through the Awesome Inc U coding boot camp in the fall of 2016.  It was the first camp that they ran.

    I had an excellent experience.  The curriculum at that time was Django + AngularJS.   It was 8 am - 5 pm every day.  I tended to stay until 7+ every night and then do 8+ hours on the weekend.  My feeling was that I was paying a lot and needed to get a lot out of it.  

    I was hired immediately out of the camp so I didn't have any issues with job placement.  Then or...

    High quality from start to finish

    If you are contemplating a career change to web developer, look no further. Awesome Inc U's Web Developer Bootcamp will give you the skills you need to land that web dev job. I was hired before bootcamp was even over!

    And by "skills" I mean the really important ones: learning how to learn... where to find help when you are lost... how to know if your code is "finished"... There are a million programming languages, frameworks, and technologies, but these ...

    Changed my life!

    I came to Awesome, Inc. with barely any prior coding knowledge. I was surprised to find out how hard the bootcamp was! I was definitely over my head. We were learning, really learning, from 8am until 5pm every day for the entire bootcamp. I learned so much more than coding. We also learned about design, agile development, and the job market for web development in our area. We had lunch and learns with real web developers and got to pick their brains about whatever we wanted. My classmate...

    Great Launchpad

    My experience with Awesome Inc U was exceptional. The curriculum is spread evenly across a couple months, building on previous weeks. Knowledge is condensed but it gives you enough knowledge to learn other languages/frameworks. I enjoyed my time with the instructors and other students. Fellow students came from all backgrounds, many did not a single line of syntax before starting. Many have found employment among the tech industry.

    Amazing, Challenging, Fulfilling, Captivating, Eye-opening

    My time with Awesome Inc was no less than STELLAR!  It was a test of will, patience, grit, and mental fortitude.  But the knowledge and the connections are well worth every second spent there.  The team is amazing from the top down! They truly hold to the core values of the company.  I would recommend anyone to go through Awesome Inc's Full Stack Bootcamp!
