This class is a fantastic example of getting out what you put in. I had no experience whatsoever with programming prior to my enrollment in the class, and having completed the program I feel as though I now have a great platform from which I can learn programming on my own.

The instructors and assistants were personable, knowledgeable, and excellent programmers, and the career assitance that I received upon completion of the program was great.
Coming from 0 experience I found it difficult to jump straight into a development role upon completion of the program, but I have no doubt that it is possible if one were to commit the requisite effort to do so. I took the class for the purpose of learning basic development skills and providing a platform from which to learn further, and that is exactly what I received. That said, the skills that I learned were nonetheless extremely helpful in bolstering my technical background (i.e. basic development skills are a fantastic resume booster regardless of whether or not one becomes a developer).
My only gripe about the program (if any) would be that there is a little too much time spent learning jQuery (a Javascript library that I've found to have little use in the programming world), but the concepts learned were nonetheless appicable to further learnings and the rest of the curriculum was excellent.
Overall, this is a great program for learning basic development skills. Be prepared to put in a significant amount of time outside of class if you're coming from 0 experience and want a development job right out of the program, but it is certainly possible!Rosa Tadeo of Berkeley Boot Camps

Waste of money
Be aware of this Berkeley coding boot camp. When you interested in the course and contact them, they will call you many thousand times. After you pay the deposit $2500 upfront, be aware that $1000 is no refundable, even you did not go your first day of the class. Also If you have any questions they don't want to answer you on the phone. They will block your phone number and you will directly into voicemail and never call into their admission main line. They reply email also very slow...

Also If you have any questions they don't want to answer you on the phone. They will block your phone number and you will directly into voicemail and never call into their admission main line. They reply email also very slowly like around 2 or 3 days later. They just want your money. After you pay your deposit they don't care about anything.

Hi Anonymous, thank you for sharing with us. We take feedback very seriously and regret to hear about your experience.
Our refund policy as well as the enrollment agreement (EA) you signed when you paid your deposit does note that $1,000 of the deposit is not refundable. While we never want our students to drop from the program, we are transparent about the nonrefundable part of the deposit so that students are aware of how a refund would be processed if they choose to drop. By making clear the non-refundable portion of the deposit at the time of enrollment, we also ensure that students reserving a seat feel confident in their decision to enroll. This is important since that seat will not be available to any other student interested in the program.
Our admissions and student success teams receive many phone calls and emails during the day, and do their best to ensure that they address each person’s concerns in a timely manner. We are sorry that you had difficulty getting answers to your questions. We can assure you that our staff does not block phone numbers nor intentionally ignore calls—student support is our top priority and we always strive to be responsive. Our phone calls all funnel in through one system and do not go to our advisors’ personal phone numbers, so individual callers cannot be blocked.
We do apologize for any delays you experienced in email communication. It is our goal to respond within 24 to 48 hours, however, this is not always possible. We are constantly working to improve our response time to best serve the needs of both students and applicants.
We sincerely care about our students and always want them to feel valued, supported, and happy with their experience in our programs. Please give our program director a call at (510) 306-1218 so that we can address your concerns further.
