LEARN Academy is a 16-week, live-remote web development bootcamp available to students across the United States. LEARN Academy is committed to creating opportunities for individuals to thrive in the tech industry. The bootcamp is held Monday through Friday from 9AM-5PM PT. The comprehensive full stack curriculum covers JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, Git, GitHub, pair programming, and more. Students will also complete a 160-hour, live-remote Learnship, where they can dive into real-world projects, while building their skills of working within a technical team.
LEARN Academy accepts students from diverse backgrounds, and no prior coding experience is necessary to enroll. For coding beginners, LEARN Academy offers a web developer bootcamp prep course (Jumpstart) and additional resources to ensure all students are ready for the bootcamp.
LEARN Academy understands that career development is essential for success in the tech industry. In addition to coding, LEARN Academy also teaches students how to find a job. Students will learn how to write resumes, develop their portfolio, negotiate a good salary, prepare for interviews, network, set up a LinkedIn profile, and more.
LEARN Academy is committed to supporting each student's career development even after they land their first job through ongoing support, alumni events, and additional training. The goal is to help students build a fulfilling and successful career in tech.
This gave me a head start on becoming a web developer. The community and support are awesome.
I had a great experience at Learn! The 3 months of full time class and 1 month internship where challenging but so fun! I learned Ruby, Rails, Javascript, HTML and CSS. I am very grateful to now be a part of the supportive and engaging Learn community too. I ended up getting hired from my internship and have been employed there as a Ruby on Rails Software Developer for over a year now and couldn't be happier! Thank you Learn for everything you've done to change my life. Keep up the g...

Bootcamps are not intended or the faint of heart. I went to Learn because I know some of the Ruby developpers in San Diego and I really like the inclusive and friendly ethos (MINASWAN!). Learn offers soiid full-stack immersion and it will surely kick your ass to cover material this fast but the team is flexible and fully involved in getting you through. The instructors and administrators really care about the individual students in the class and how where they are going after the end ...

Attending Learn Bootcamp was one of the best things I could have done for myself. The adminstrators, teachers and fellow students were great to work with. I was able to learn a tremendous amount in a short period of time from people who are knowledgeable and passionate about coding. Learn not only provided the education, but also the motivation and support to get us all through this type of intense learning.

I plan to stay in touch and continue to be a part of the Learn community.

If you're looking for a challenge and you want your career to be a creative outlet, this bootcamp is a good jumpstart into the inventive world of computer programming. LEARN will introduce you to the popular technologies used by many companies (Git, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Bootstrap, SQL, RSpec, Ruby, and Rails) and give you the space to create webpages and web applications with motivated peers. A big plus with LEARN is that they're well connected in the programming industry so you're exposed to meeting a lot of developers from around the world. Also, you're given real world coding experience by being placing into an internship at the end of the program.
I was apart of LEARN's third cohort. As many of my classmates and instructors would say, we looked forward to (almost) every day :)
I would say I had a fantastic time so far. Learned much more about Rails and of course utilizing common shortcuts such as utilizing devise and omniauth. The Ruby, Postgres, and JavaScript sections were pretty good. I kind of wish the their was a bit more beef on the rails section. Nonetheless there is a vast amount of reaources out there and having another programmer look over your code realtime is amazing.
I joined LEARN in 2019 to pursue a career as a web developer and was told by them that 85% of their graduates have jobs within six months. I have since found out about 8 months after graduating that, that number is completely made up and it is much harder to get a job then advertised. They make it seem as if it is so easy to break into the tech industry. In reality, you need much more experince then they can offer. They also preach that you don't need prior experience, but that is also a l...

They make it seem as if it is so easy to break into the tech industry. In reality, you need much more experince then they can offer. They also preach that you don't need prior experience, but that is also a lie. They do give you a good environment to be around and help you start to understand what you are doing, but this is not worth 15k. I strongly advise someone who is looking to joing a coding bootcamp to find one that actually invests in you finding a job. The staff at LEARN are very nice, but I would be too if you paid me 15k to hang out for three months. I'm not saying not to join, but don't expect to get hired afterwards.
I understand that this program seems to have been a success for a handful of individuals . The technique of teaching they provide may work for some, but not all. Everyone has a different learning style and Learn only supports one way, which is peer programming. I understand this is great within a working environment, but not everyone is able to solidify information in that manner when learning something new. When I am spending 8 hrs. a day, plus $14,500, I should feel I have used my time...
I understand that this program seems to have been a success for a handful of individuals . The technique of teaching they provide may work for some, but not all. Everyone has a different learning style and Learn only supports one way, which is peer programming. I understand this is great within a working environment, but not everyone is able to solidify information in that manner when learning something new. When I am spending 8 hrs. a day, plus $14,500, I should feel I have used my time wisely, rather when I going home frustrated. Expressing my concerns, which they don't like you to complain about anything, just constructive criticism, I was pretty much told maybe this program was not right for me. Which it was not and I withdrew. But that kind of attitude towards some one interested in learning a new skill is undiscerning. They should be more understanding and accommodating to each person's learning style.
Learn promotes that their camp is for beginners, which it is not. It is more geared towards people with some kind of background in programming, not just an interest. I feel their screening process should be more thorough, with a technical part before officially being accepted into the program. The curriculum was disorganized and hard to follow at times. There are reputable sights to learn Web Development, build a portfolio, provide you skills for interviewing and finding a job. These sights do not cost much or are for free. Not sure what Learn feels they are providing for $14,500, other than lining their pockets with money. Please consider other options before throwing your money away or going into debt.
Pros:
- Excellent career services
- Internship included, and some were paid
- Curriculum reflected current trends/job opportunities
- Flexible with daily lessons based on student needs
- LEARN is very involved in the local tech community, so there are a lot of connections to be made

Pros:
- Excellent career services
- Internship included, and some were paid
- Curriculum reflected current trends/job opportunities
- Flexible with daily lessons based on student needs
- LEARN is very involved in the local tech community, so there are a lot of connections to be made
- Good work/life balance
- School is understanding and respectful of students' external commitments
- The people who work at LEARN are wonderful
Cons:
- Learning material on website sometimes unclear or had mistakes, and continued uncorrected despite student feedback
- Few opportunities taken to assess students' knowledge, no code reviews
- Morning lessons frequently ended with "So does that make sense to everybody? *silence* Great!"
- Instructors always willing to help, but not always experienced enough to be able to help
- Pair programming required, but can be more inhibiting than helpful depending on individual learning style
Bottomline:
- Glad I did LEARN, certainly a good way to change careers and get your foot in the door with the internship. At the end of the day I'm confident I'll get a job and I'm excited to start a new career, but it was a windy road at times
Advice to LEARN:
- designating a scrum master would help with continuous improvement
- if resources allow, code reviews would be very beneficial to students
This Ruby on Rails bootcamp has a solid curriculum. It starts with the basics, HTML, CSS and moves on to JavaScript, JQuery and Ruby on Rails. Their instructors are patient and help you with problems without giving you the answer. They are invested in their students and really want you to succeed. They push the importance of getting out in your community with volunteering, meet-ups etc. Overall, I would say Learn was a good experience and helped me to level up in m...
