Freemote

 I can confidently say that it is an outstanding program for anyone interested in learning programming, regardless of their skill level. The platform's ability to cater to both complete beginners and more advanced students is truly commendable.




One of the standout features of Freemote is their commitment to staying up to date with the ever-evolving world of programming. The constant updates to their curriculum ensure that students are always learning the latest technologies and best practices. This dedication to providing relevant and current material sets freemote.com apart from other programming education platforms.




Another aspect that truly impressed me is the inclusion of live code reviews for the more advanced projects. This feature allows students to receive direct feedback on their code from experienced professionals, helping them improve their skills and gain valuable insights. The opportunity to have one's work evaluated by experts in the field is a rare gem that Freemote offers.




Furthermore, Freemote not only prepares its students to work for companies but also equips them with the necessary skills to thrive as freelancers. The freelance curriculum provided by freemote.com is nothing short of amazing. It covers all aspects of freelancing, including client management, project scoping, and effective communication. This comprehensive approach ensures that graduates are well-prepared for the challenges and opportunities that come with freelancing.

So, I already did a one-year course in Web Development (full-time). I can't say I regret it, I learned a lot and it was very interesting. Still, after one year I have the problem that I am now a jack of all trades and a master of none. That's why I decided to do Freemote on top. And what can I say? I am a few weeks into it and I love it so much! The Html and CSS part gives you what you need - not more, not less. Perfect, if you don't want to waste your time. For me, it was a welcome opportunity to practice my skills by doing the projects. And now I am learning to be a Shopify expert - still love the course! If I could go back in time and had to decide, which one, Freemote or the one-year course, I would definitely choose Freemote! A word of caution, though. This is not a sprint, this is a marathon. For most people, it will be longer than 7 weeks, maybe a lot longer (in my opinion). You need to be persistent and you need to be a learner and a problem-solver, or you will not succeed in learning how to code anyway, no matter which road you choose. For me, I believe in laying a strong foundation, that's why I wouldn't pace through the course anyway. That having said, I believe this course is an excellent choice, one of the best courses I ever did (and I tried a lot). One last piece of advice, I believe it matters a lot if you like your teachers or not. So check out Jan and Aaron on YouTube. Ok, now go for it ;-)

I came into Freemote with NO coding, development, or programming experience. I found this industry fascinating and wanted to be apart of it but was sure someone like me had no place in it with no formal education and already being 28 years old. Freemote helped me believe I could make a strong career yet and provide for my family in a way I never believed I would be able to. Freemote is tough but they trim the fat from this higher level, technical information and make it as digestible as possible for true novice students. I am well into the program and I understand more than I thought I could, I've been able to revisit or re-do all the content I've needed to ensure I felt confident in the material before proceeding. I am 100% convicted that I WILL get a job in the tech industry and that front-end web development and freelancing is only the beginning. Aaron, Jan, and the entire Freemote team have given life to the dream that I can love what I do for a living and I can be more than a grunt. The price they ask is trivial compared to the surpassing joy of the life they are helping me to build. All that is truly required of me, is a steel hard dedication and an iron will to press forward and master a task I once thought too great for me and that is to be a developer.

This Bootcamp is something else. I started approaching coding a year or so ago on self-learning platforms.
My learning wasn't going as planned. I felt lost and couldn't keep my motivation and discipline up. One of the main reasons was that I didn't have a clear goal and had no one to help me.

Before finding Freemote, I was considering another University of Chicago Bootcamp. They asked me for $12k, for 6 months of online classes and nothing guaranteed when I finished.

Right after that, I stumbled upon an ad from Aaron. I recognized myself in everything he said and immediately sent my information to get an interview with one of their recruiters.

The recruiter, Steve, was super helpful and kind. He gave me all the info I needed. The price was very affordable (compared to the $12k I had been asked days before 😅).
I bought the course the next day.

I'm on my third week and Woow!!! So far so good.
I really feel like I'm being followed by professionals. Whenever I have a problem I have someone to answer me within 48h.
The lessons are clear and I love the fact that the videos are short but very comprehensive.
I sent the first project for feedback and was sent a personalized video where my code was checked.
The Facebook community is also great and really friendly.

This Bootcamp is giving me a direction in life. I now have a clear goal in mind and I also have mentors and coaches following me and helping me in order to achieve my goals.
I seriously think this has been one of the best decisions I have made in years.

Truly grateful for finding this program 🙏🏻

This school is absolutely amazing, I love the hands on that you get with all the lessons practices and projects but I also love how you get a personalized video on your project assessments. so far from what I've seen week one is by far the hardest but most rewarding week since you have HTML and CSS thrown at you. I learned so much and how to use both languages pretty well that I was shocked at myself at how much I learned. If you decide to take this course don't let week 1 scare you off. It's difficult yes but keep at it no matter how long it takes you to finish. I have been doing this course for 6 hours a day and just finished week 2 after 5 days, it took me 3 weeks to finish week 1. Just keep at it and I promise you will be especially happy with your results

I am a former Full Stack Bootcamp graduate. I attended with the plan of learning skills to freelance. But I felt lost afterwards and wasn't confident enough to market those skills. I also didn't have a niche I could fall into. 

That is where Freemote became so beneficial to me. I am just getting into the portion where I will learn freelancing skills and tips. Learning this Shopify niche is amazing. On the surface Shopify seems easy enough that anyone could do it. But that is not the case. Being training and skilled in this niche should help me earn some side cash while I learn coding. And learning and earning on real world projects is critical to success. 

I also want to stress the importance of the network that follows. 

In early 2021 I was enrolled in a subscription course to learn web dev and because I have a very demanding job I couldn't keep up and I couldn't finish within the time I had and I was thinking about extending.

Luckily, on YouTube I saw an ad for Freemote, and I really liked the idea especially the part that its self-paced. What helped even more is that the course was from Aaron Jack, I was already watching his videos on YouTube (he is a YouTuber as you know) and I already felt he is a trustworthy, genuine person.

What made things even better for me is that just before I enrolled I had 2 questions, one about feedback (mentors or instructors on course) and if indeed I would receive it if needed? and the other about if instead of e-commerce freelance web developer, what if wanted to find a normal job as a web developer working in a company or business, would the course help me achieve that? and I got the 2 answers after emailing freemote in a very short period of time (like 24 hours) and it was Aaron Jack himself and his answers were thorough and what I was looking for. Basically for feedback (mentors or instructors) the answer was yes and regarding normal web dev jobs, I was reassured that the course would be excellent for that and Aaron explained to me this was a question a lot of people were asking. E-commerce gigs on your resume would be "real world experience" that can give you an advantage when applying to normal web dev jobs that many entry level web dev jobs candidates might not necessarily have. I also understood from Aaron that freemote helped people who wanted to start agencies also.

After joining, things were as I expected (in the best possible way), the course contains a lot of material, its definitely suitable for beginners (like me), more advanced programmers would also benefit if they want to learn Shopify e-commerce. It takes times to go through all of the material unless you already know HTML, CSS and Javascript. In addition to what the instructor do, there are many exercises, quizzes and projects (some of the big projects you can submit for review when done if you want "optional"). 

The instructors (Aaron and Jan) do an excellent job in explaining things thoroughly, clearly and concisely and its obvious they are listening to students feedback (as an example in one video that is considered "bonus" Jan is saying he did it because students asked and the video is NOT short, maybe 25 minutes and you could tell he prepared really well for it). They (Instructors Aaron and Jan) respond to comments underneath the videos or lessons although I never personally posted. The mentors or instructors (other than Aaron or Jan) also respond in the comments all the time. 

The videos are usually short, this helps a lot so that you don't get distracted or lose interest. Even the few videos that are considered-relatively speaking- on the "longer" side like 25 to 30 minutes or a bit longer are not an issue at all because Aaron and Jan keep you engaged and you are at the end before you know it.

When I need help, I send an instructor my question via email and the link to my codepen for the project and I usually get the response the very next business day in a loom video (freemote say expect response 24-72 hours but I never reached 48 or 72 hours with them and this is impressive!!!). Until now the only mentor I am working with is Berk (I didn't finish the course but getting closer and closer). Berk is very thorough and explains thing very clearly (HTML, CSS and Javascript), the first time he sent me a 20 minute loom response. Other times were also thorough (and as long as needed) and all were really quick responses. I didn't work with Kaido ever, however, I must say, all the comments left to other users in the course by Kaido are all awesome. To learn and advance quickly in programming you need a mentor, and freemote is a great opportunity for that.

One of the weeks in course is about "Freelancing skills & Strategy" and even here there are several hours (containing many in-depth videos) about all you could imagine related to this topic, like virtual office setup, business strategies, portfolio setup, Freelancing on UpWork (including submitting your ready UpWork profile for review!!), direct freelancing, contracts, onboarding and other topics.

I highly recommend the course if you are interested in becoming an e-commerce web developer or a web developer in general.

This course is legit. The team believes in overdelivering to the expectations which is really rare to see.  I continue to learn a ton every single day and the advice given is very practical and straightforward. No waste of time. Expect to dedicate a lot of time. 20 hours of focussed work. No distractions. That's the best and the most affecive way to retain the information. This is real education and no get rich quick BS. Have realistic expectations from this course and... life in general! Haha. Best of luck 👍 I hope you find your freedom!

After spending years on a career path that I thought I loved, I found myself in a job that had a gaslighting, verbally abusive boss with no prospects of moving forward or to a different position. I began a long process of teaching myself coding since I couldn’t afford one of those pricey bootcamps.
A Freemote ad came up on Instagram after one hard day at work and a disappointing night trying to learn basic JavaScript. The way in which Aaron presented the course in the promotional video was very engaging. Looking into more of the details of the program the aspects that stood out to me were:
     ✅ Self-paced program with video walkthroughs of concepts
     ✅ Coding languages of HTML, CSS, Javascript, and Liquid
     ✅ Specialization in Shopify
     ✅ Career development with direct freelancing and UpWork options.
     ✅ Facebook group for support
     ✅ Videos and content constantly updated with lifelong access to site
     ✅ Price was affordable

The way that Aaron and Jan teach the content is exactly what I needed. They teach the concepts, provide exercises, strategies to complete exercises, and then a walkthrough of how the exercise could be completed.
This course has allowed me to leave my awful job and land clients through direct freelancing and through UpWork. The course has transformed my work life and has allowed me to do something that I really enjoy doing with the freedom to spend time with my family.
