However, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of career support. Incorporating real-world projects or connections with companies could enhance the learning experience by providing a glimpse into the life of a designer beyond the classroom. Additionally, fostering more interactions among batches would be beneficial, as it can lead to valuable networking and collaboration opportunities. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineAug 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intense Program: Beneficial for STEM Degree Holders Seeking Additional Skills
I believe a significant number of reviews are left by students who have just completed the course and are still riding the wave of enthusiasm. Initially, I was informed that upon finishing the course, one could opt for any data career path and that the employment rate stood at 90%, among other claims.

Initially, I was informed that upon finishing the course, one could opt for any data career path and that the employment rate stood at 90%, among other claims. However, my perspective shifted considerably a few months later when I confronted the reality.
The program is demanding and packed with content. Spanning a mere 14 weeks, it encompasses Data Analysis, Engineering, and Data Science. Naturally, the scope of knowledge imparted remains somewhat shallow. A substantial portion of the instruction felt rushed, with projects completed without a profound grasp of the underlying mathematical principles. Both the junior instructors and the main instructor are program alumni, proficient at guiding through projects but less effective at conveying what the professional world anticipates. Regrettably, their insight into their own data career path, which is somewhat lacking.
In a conversation with an alumnus, I learned that fewer than 40% of their batch secured employment within six months. Upon conversing with industry peers, it dawned on me that I'm competing directly with individuals who hold master's degrees. Without a STEM master's degree and some coding background, your CV is swiftly discarded. While those transitioning from a STEM background might find the course an entry point into the data realm, I am hesitant to claim it's universally suitable. Contrary to its portrayal as a fast track to financial success and life transformation, a career in Data Science is difficult even for people with solid science background.
The support for career progression is adequate, with only three general workshops available. However, I've discovered that other bootcamps offer 1 to 1 personalized career coaching, which is particularly crucial for career changers. Additionally, the course concluded without any guidance on constructing a robust portfolio. I invested a considerable amount of time researching and revisiting material from other bootcamps and their graduates portfolio. Unfortunately, this is an area where this bootcamp really falls short.
In terms of the course content, I would rate it 4 stars. It's evident that the staff has dedicated considerable effort to developing the curriculum.
However, when evaluating the course's effectiveness in assisting career changers, I would give it 2 stars. Particularly for individuals lacking a STEM degree who are contemplating a career change and questioning if this course is the right path, it falls short. I recommend considering a Data Analyst course instead. Such a program is more feasible; in just five months, you can create a remarkably impressive portfolio with a specific focus. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Jul 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Tough but worth it!
You get a lot of material to learn and since it's an intensive course it's sometimes hard to keep up, but since there is no grading process the pressure is bearable and in group projects you can learn a lot with your colleagues and from each other.

But the staff is generally very friendly! The company is modern and represents values that I share. The atmosphere in the last two weeks on site was warm and supportive and the campus is a wonderful place.
If there was any criticism from my side, it was always taken seriously and directly implemented if possible and realistic. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineJul 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging but are rewarding
I think it’s a great way to break into tech or solidify pre existing web dev knowledge. Coming with zero coding experience, it will be really challenging and you’ll probably need some more months after the boot camp to practice (in order to find a job in the field). However, if you have already studied Web Dev for a while and have been looking for a way to practice and deepen your understanding to be ready to apply for jobs (my personal situation), I can also recommend this Bootcamp!I think it’s a great way to break into tech or solidify pre existing web dev knowledge.

Not even worth it
After reading numerous positive reviews, I decided to start the hybrid bootcamp at the beginning of this year. The first week was okay, as everything was new, and I had the opportunity to get to know the other students. After that, you could see one flaw after the other. Below, it is a list with all the problems that I saw during my time in this bootcamp:

The first week was okay, as everything was new, and I had the opportunity to get to know the other students. After that, you could see one flaw after the other. Below, it is a list with all the problems that I saw during my time in this bootcamp:
Curriculum: Everything is crammed together, you just breeze through the material without understanding the principles of the concepts that were 'thought'. As an example, the ML parts lasted for a couple of weeks, which is really insane. The A/B testing project, also crammed together, and you have to learn many concepts in just one day. Impossible. I will just stop here because if I start to break it apart, I won't finish today. 2/10
Instructor: Junior instructors were extremely friendly, that was nice, they didn't know much about basic things, but they were always ready to help. My instructor was probably the most condescending person I have ever met. Also, she started every day an hour late because starting at 9:00 HS was too early, roughly, more than 50 hours wasted in the morning. Besides, she used to tell us to basically LIE to her boss if he asked what time we started. She also encouraged students to compete instead of working together. 1/10
Projects: The projects are definitely not real life projects, nor job ready projects. They are more like Kaggle projects which you can find anywhere on the internet for free and copy and paste them into your GitHub. 2/10
Job assistance: Non-existent. I've only got a couple of emails to ask if I found a job, when I protested about this and finally got a chat with an advisor, it was a 15 minutes talk where the person said that I need to optimize my LinkedIn. Funny thing though is that I had a few months back a workshop where we did exactly that, optimize my LinkedIn profile. 0/10
Overall experience: Really poor. They have a nice place to work and good food in the cantina for students that stay there, that is about it. It is definitely not worth that amount of money (you can get a master’s degree in the UK for this price). I was fortunate enough to get sponsored by the job agency, but the feeling is that I wasted tax money.

Dear Reviewer,
Thank you for sharing your feedback about our bootcamp. We regret that we were unable to fully investigate your concerns, as the review was posted anonymously. However, we still appreciate your input and would like to address some of the points you raised.
Firstly, it's important to note that a bootcamp is not equivalent to a Master's study. Our program is designed to provide practical skills and make students job-ready within a shorter timeframe. While we strive to cover essential concepts, we prioritize teaching the skills directly relevant to day-to-day work in the field.
Regarding the instructor, our investigation indicates that none of the scheduled courses started regularly one hour late. We have systems in place to track attendance, and multiple team members are involved in ensuring punctuality. Nonetheless, we take your feedback seriously and will investigate further to ensure consistent adherence to the schedule.
We apologize if you felt our job assistance was lacking. Our Career Services Team offers three full-day workshops for each batch, focusing on various aspects of the job search process. Additionally, our learning platform includes a Career Service track, providing resources and guidance. Students can also request personal CV and cover letter reviews to further support their job search.
Thank you again for sharing your thoughts. We value your feedback and will use it to improve our bootcamp experience. If you have any further concerns or would like to discuss your experience in more detail, please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Feb 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
hard but fair
During the bootcamp I had many doubts about my learning. At the end I learned more that I imagined. I was never alone. The school team always gave me emotional and technical support. I was able to improve my skills and gain new ones. Teamwork and learning by doing are encouraged in all the projects. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineJan 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

This 15 week's Bootcamp was an amazing experience. It starts with a preparatory course to get everyone on the same page. Team and individual projects are used to teach new concepts and tools. WBS offers great support from a wonderful community and amazing supervisors. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Dec 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
