Claim academy has fantastic instructors, especially Lamar who made our education fun and was always willing to help us individually. We learned a massive tech stack over 3 months.

We learned a massive tech stack over 3 months. I had done some learning on my own prior to Claim but always seemed to hit a wall where I struggled to know what to do next. The things I learned at Claim academy helped me to move beyond that and feel I am ready for a job as a developer. I am currently still searching for a job and am still using Claims resources to do so. Once I manage to secure a position I would update my review to 5 stars across the board.- JohnGraduate • Full Stack Java Software Developer Immersive • St. LouisDec 20, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The content of the cirriculum gave me a great foundation from which I plan to build on. The instructors are very knowleageable and more than patient.
Outside of the content, Claim Academy goes above and beyond to exmplain the process of job hunting in the tech world and they spend a great amount of time preparing one to be ready for the first interviews as entry level developers.
Claim also has a great network of affiliates and even go so far as to set up meetings with recruiters and companies that are currently hiring. The reputation that Claim has with with its afiiliates carries a lot of weight as they are all aware of how intense the training program is.
Overall, the coding boot camp exceeded my expectations and I'm glad I took the time to complete the Immersive Full Stack Program.

A Fully Immersive Program
The staff at Claim Academy are not joking when they say this is a fully immersive program. You will eat, sleep, and breath coding during the entire program. However, during this time, you will learn far more than most people would be able to learn otherwise.

The staff at Claim Academy are not joking when they say this is a fully immersive program. You will eat, sleep, and breath coding during the entire program. However, during this time, you will learn far more than most people would be able to learn otherwise.
The days are long and you will likely eventually feel overwhelmed and frustrated. This happened at different points in the course for different members of my class. As difficult as you may find it, keep going. Show up every day, be on time, and don't leave early. Time missed will really hurt your progress and it will be very difficult to catch back up.
If you don't understand something, ask the instructors/mentors for help. Stay late and get help when you need it. Spend time working on projects at home. You will be expected to spend a lot of time working in pairs with other students, as well as working independently on your own projects. Again, ask for help or clarification if you don't understand something. Having another student explain something to you helps both of you understand it better. If you see another student struggling with something, offer your help.
You will be expected to learn some fundamental knowledge needed to complete your projects on your own and to troubleshoot problems. Google will become your new best friend. If that fails, ask the instructors/mentors for help.
Overall, I feel like Claim Academy delivers a solid course with a LOT of information and practical coding experience crammed into a 12-week course. They have employers and past graduates come in for open houses and employer showcases. Take advantage of these opportunities and network. Go in with a positive attitude and confidence that you can do this and your investment will pay off in the end.

Great experience
Claim academy was certainly challenging but a great investment. A lot of long days and hard work but in the end it paid off. Besides the programming, the interview prep and resume writting assitance was a great resource. Lamar, Harim, Tope, Ken...thanks for all your help and instruction along the way.
