Zuitt

Embarking on a journey to learn something new can be intimidating, but my experience with beginner-friendly classes at Zuitt was nothing short of exceptional. From the outset, the environment exuded warmth and encouragement, making it an ideal space for novices to thrive.

One of the standout features of these classes is their unwavering commitment to being beginner-friendly. The instructors have a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into digestible, easy-to-understand nuggets of knowledge. Whether you're stepping into the world of painting, coding, or dance, the instructors patiently guide you through the basics, ensuring a solid foundation before moving on to more advanced techniques.

The accommodating nature of the classes is truly commendable. I found the instructors to be approachable and understanding, creating an atmosphere where questions are not just welcomed but encouraged. They foster an environment that embraces curiosity, making the learning process feel like a collaborative journey rather than a solo endeavor. This inclusivity is particularly reassuring for beginners who may feel hesitant about asking questions or seeking clarification.

The instructors at Zuitt are not only knowledgeable but also possess excellent teaching skills. Their passion for the subject matter shines through in their engaging lessons, making even the most intricate topics accessible to newcomers. What sets them apart is their ability to adapt to the varied learning styles of the participants, ensuring that each individual feels supported and can progress at their own pace.

Moreover, the instructors go the extra mile to create a sense of community among participants. Whether through group activities, collaborative projects, or casual discussions, they foster a supportive network that extends beyond the classroom. This camaraderie not only enhances the learning experience but also provides a valuable support system for beginners as they navigate the challenges of acquiring new skills.

Pros:

1. Comprehensive Web Development Course - Zuitt's main package focuses on teaching the MERN stack, which is a popular set of technologies used in web development. The course lasts for 2 months and provides a comprehensive introduction to full-stack web development.
2. Flexible Schedules - Zuitt offers two schedules for their main package, a full-time 8AM to 5PM schedule and a part-time 5:30PM to 9:30PM schedule. This provides flexibility for those who are working or have other commitments during the day.
3. Career-Friendly Curriculum - Zuitt's teaching and curriculum are friendly to career-shifters and those without prior experience in web development. 
4. Payment Options - Zuitt offers flexible payment methods for those who are not able to pay the full amount upfront. This helps students who are on a tight budget to take advantage of the bootcamp without worrying about the financial burden.
5. Short Courses - After the main course, students are entitled to 8 short course credits, which can be used to take other courses that teach other languages and technologies (Python, PHP, etc.). This helps students to add to their credentials and become more versatile in their skillset.
6. Job Assistance Program - Zuitt provides a job assistance program to help graduates find employment in tech companies. They conduct monthly check-ups to track the job employment status of the graduates and also provide them with a list of vacancies in tech companies.

Cons:

1. Online Only - Zuitt's classes are conducted entirely online, which may be a challenge for those who are accustomed to traditional face-to-face classes. This may require an adjustment period for some students.
2. Intensive Coursework - The course can be quite intensive, especially for those who do not have a strong foundation in logic. This may require students to dedicate more time and effort to keep up with the coursework.

In summary, Zuitt Coding Bootcamp is a good option for those who want to learn web development and start a career in tech. They offer a comprehensive course, flexible schedules, career-friendly curriculum, and a job assistance program. However, the online-only setup and intensive coursework may be challenging for some students.

The sessions of the main course has a good curriculum which focuses on core concepts and fundamentals and made me understand web development and bring my skill level not just a starter but to intermediate level in back end and front end as a career shifter.

I managed to create my first Ecommerce React web app as a capstone with full responsiveness across mobile/tablet and laptop devices, full functional forms, registration, and user transactions with a syncing database and server. It's my first time encountering node.js, express.js, MongoDB, and react but I learned the core concept clearly and apply them effectively.

As a student and career shifter, it's good they focus to solidify the foundation of the student and focus on the basics of coding, the fundamentals, and the core concepts of languages, frameworks, and more, but the time is limited to 2months. Programming is a broad world, so I guess that's normal that there are some parts of the documentation that was not included in the course, it will take us a very long journey if they will teach us "everything". And I understand that. Overall learning is worth it. The development of skills still depends on ourselves. INSTRUCTOR'S EXPERTISE + MOTIVATED STUDENT = EFFICIENT LEARNING

I have little background in programming. I doubted myself in finishing the program at first. But the instructors are of great help. They assist those who are in need. The over-all classroom experience is great and the projects at every end of the course makes you challenge yourself in finishing the MVP requirements, or even aim for more goals. I can say that after finishing the Full-Stack Web Development Course, I am half full. Half full because, I am already equipped with the skills I need to start as a Jr. Dev, or I can further my skills by enrolling in more short courses to widen and sharpen them.
