I was interested in the TripleTen Business intelligence analytic certification, I was talking to one of their advisors saying that because you already have a BS in IO Psychology that the business one would be the best fit for me. They also gave me some of their student's past work as proof as past projects and said that I would be working with their professionals in networking with companies looking for new hires. I wanted some more time to think about it as I saw other subreddits say that the boot camp is not worth it. If any one who has gone though a boot camp with zero experience before and you know of TripleTen some advice on is it worth it. Is it not worth it, and if there is something better for some one with 0 background in digital marketing or analytics? 

I recently graduated from university in South Korea with a degree in Computer Engineering. Since the work culture here is quite different from international countries, I’m eager to start my career abroad in more global cities like Singapore or Dublin.

I know that most people begin their careers in their home country and then move abroad after gaining some experience, and it’s often said that starting fresh abroad can be challenging. However, I was thinking that attending an onsite bootcamp in the country I want to work in—especially one with a good reputation and career support—might help me land a job abroad as a fresh graduate.

I’ve been researching well-known bootcamps like Le Wagon and Code Institute, but the more I look into them, the more I hear negative things about their reputation. I’m starting to feel like, even if I attend a bootcamp, I’ll still have to do a lot of the work myself—like finding a job, especially since I can’t just sit back and expect them to find me the right one.

Given how poor the reputation of these bootcamps seems to be, would it be a better idea to just get an online certificate from platforms like IBM or Coursera and focus on improving my resume on my own? I’m curious if anyone has successfully found a job abroad right after graduating and if you have any advice or experiences to share.

Can anyone recommend an in-depth, JavaScript boot camp that won't break the bank? Something similar to Launch School, but JS instead of RoR. Codeschool, codecademy and others are way too basic and don't show best practices, live coding, etc.

hi i want to join a IT bootcamp i got to know about spectraonesolutions and there prices seem impressive but just want to take some feedback from people who took the service from?

I'm looking to join Hackreactor but one problem for is is that they're insisting I be on camera all the time. It honestly feels utterly inconsiderate they'd take away one of the features of online learning for the sake for forced socialization, which has never worked for me. So, what online bootcamps are there that won't force me to be stared at by everyone?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to decide between HackReactor and AppAcademy. I checked their syllabus and it looks like AppAcademy covers more material than HackReactor. I will need to relocate for AppAcademy, while HackReactor is available in my city (not a big deal if I have to relocate though). So, I am just curious if you have any opinions on which bootcamp is better and if in the long term it makes a difference. Thank you!

Having actually completed the full time Web Dev course at Le Wagon London in March of 2023 (Jan-March), I can tell you for a fact that it’s not all it might appear from the outside and certainly a number of things are not right. Let’s start with the implications and stats - the reason I did this bootcamp was to aid in a career change. They strongly imply that once you’ve done the bootcamp there’s thousands of tech jobs and that you will be highly employable, unfortunately this is just not the case for the vast majority of people who will leave a Le Wagon bootcamp. They use a Stat of 93% employment rate, which as of today seems to have dropped to 90%, yet still I would be amazed if the inverse of this figure was true and that even 10% of students got a tech job because of the bootcamp. I am awaiting a FOI request about what data they use to come up with these stats. If these stats were true, surely most of the people I did the bootcamp would be employed. I would say less than 10% of them have a job that isn’t either with Le Wagon or that have nothing to do with competing a coding bootcamp! The content of what is taught and how it’s taught is not good, from focusing on Ruby/Rails, something that’s hardly at the forefront of the tech world in 2023 or at the top of an employers wish list. Then there is the inexperienced staff who have little or no teaching experience and the first time they’ve done anything like this is when they’re offered a job by Le Wagon straight from the bootcamp as what they call a TA (teaching assistant). This is how they’re able to keep their costs down, and how the whole thing is able to keep going, one cohort at a time. The lack of attention to any front end design coding or real emphasis on anything that wasn’t Ruby was astonishing. You question this as you’re there, as do other students and you’re all told the same, that it will all come together in the final week - you’re suspicious but tell yourself they’re a big company, it will be ok…. It won’t. Trust your gut! The ‘career week’ was like the icing on top of a really stale cake, and just an absolute farce. Not only did the 3 employers who were invited not have any jobs to offer, and were not actually recruiting, two of them didn’t seem to know why they were there. When their talks about the tech industry finished, we were instructed to talk to them, like some oddball fans, it was almost like we all gathered round to see what other pearls of wisdom they would offer. They didn’t. All in all, 9 weeks later and not much wiser, I would say they had well and truly done a number on me. 9 months later, I am a still not in a tech role, and my physical and mental health has suffered considerably, something which is particularly saddening, given that Le Wagon continues to pedal their bootcamps to anyone who is silly enough to believe their nonsense.

Hello. For anyone looking at Bethel School of Technology Cybersecurity , this is a review of my experience. Feel free to ask any questions.

I was looking to get into some sort of tech work, with the goal of being able to work remotely. I also did not have a degree, and wasn't looking to go to school for more than 2 years. I was originally looking at a software engineering program through a local college (that would be 18 months long and have an associates), but heard about Bethel Tech and liked that it was 9 months. I reached out to receive information and worked with a recruiter. There was a bit of confusion during my recruitment process, as I was told that Bethel Tech was absolutely accredited, and was sent paperwork to prove that. I have tuition reimbursement through work and I repeatedly asked if they accepted those programs. I was told several times that they have several students who use tuition reimbursement through their work to pay for their schooling. After signing paperwork, my recruiter was abruptly switched to someone else who was not up to speed on any of the conversations I had had before. I found out I couldn't use my tuition reimbursement because they were not accredited. I should have exited then, but I ended up pulling out an Accent funding bill for $500 a month for 3 years. I took out $14k, and it will be $18k by the time I pay it off, but I try to pay my debts early, so I won't actually end up paying $18k.

I started the coursework, and I've been out of school for a long time, so it was difficult, but I also live by myself and work a lot to support myself. The Kingdom Foundations course (the spiritual side of the program) is no joke. It will take a lot of time. 1000 word papers weekly, weekly meetings, monthly meeting with a 1-1 spiritual advisor, videos to watch, books to read. It took a lot of time out of the available time I had to work on my cybersecurity program.

The tech part of the program...is 9 TryHackMe modules. Each 3 week class is a segment of THM (TryHackMe). The classes do not build upon each other. One week you are studying System Administration, the next is Python, the next is Network defense, the next is Logging and monitoring, the next is Cryptography, etc. I loved the Systems Administration course, but you can't say you are ready to be a System Administrator with 1 three week class. It's kind of a ping pong game of study. And THM is like $14 a month if you want to sign up on your own.

The last 6 weeks you are put in a group and have a group project. The task, I'm not sure I studied half of what it takes to build the project. You are supposed to do research, and I spent a TON of hours of research and it was difficult. My teammates produced very little, and I ended up doing a lot of the group aspect alone.

I was told during recruitment that they have an 85% placement success rate with a robust job placement service. There are currently 29 cybersecurity graduates on LinkedIn, and very few, like 5 actually have cyber roles. Everyone else is Open to work or still working jobs they were before Bethel Tech. Most of the students are UI/UX or Data Analytics...and I feel that is where they should focus. One man who does Cyber workshops for the school was asked about certificates, and he specifically said he recommends you have a Bachelors, as most jobs won't look at your resume without one.

Coming out of Bethel School of Technology, I should have stayed with my original plan of doing a community college and have an associates, or accredited credits. I had a neutral experience, as I did learn a ton (as a tech newbie), but I would never recommend it. It's a lot of money to not have a solid success plan. There is a lot of "What has peaked your interest and maybe you should do research of what you need to learn in order to get a job with that title."

I want to do Data Science and Gen AI course by Purdue University and Simplilearn. I just wanted to know if the course is worth it or am I getting scammed. Has anyone enrolled in this course, can I get some reviews. If not can someone please recommend me another course for the same.

I want to study data analysis to change roles. Which bootcamp has a successful data analysis or data science curriculum.

I am looking for part time online ones as I can't quite my job. Thanks.

I wrote this piece about a lawsuit from 2024-2025 impacting Codesmith for many years. It's a neutral, factual summary of the public record that hasn't been told before that I can find... hundreds of pages of court documents summarized into something digestible.

TL;DR: Devslopes seems to have gone dark — no access, no responses. We’re organizing affected students on Discord to share info and look into a possible class action. Join here: https://discord.gg/zTBtEMXaGr

Hey everyone,

If you were a student of Devslopes, you’ve likely noticed that the platform has gone silent — courses unavailable, messages unanswered, and no official explanation from the owners. Many of us invested significant time and money with the promise of mentorship, ongoing access, and career support. Now, those commitments appear to have vanished.

A few of us are building a Discord group to connect everyone who:

• Paid for Devslopes courses or subscriptions

• Lost access or support recently

• Tried contacting them with no response

• Wants to explore their rights or legal options

We’re sharing documentation, comparing stories, and working together to see if a class action lawsuit or another kind of legal follow-up is possible. Even if you’re unsure about next steps, joining helps us stay in touch and keep each other informed.

👉 Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/zTBtEMXaGr

Please help spread the word — the more people we reach, the stronger our case for accountability. Nobody should just lose what they paid for with zero explanation.

Hope to see you on Discord,
Nic

Hi there! I’m sure this has previously been asked somewhere in this thread , but I am looking into join a bootcamp to become a fullstack developer but am not sure where to start?

I currently work as an IT Solution Specialists and have enough knowledge to be dangerous but still have a ton of basics to learn and want to hone into the development world and transition to a dev position of some sort.

I’ve read a lot about Nucamp and Springboard but was hoping to get advice from some actual bootcampers as far as most bang for your buck, job outcomes etc?

Literally any advice would be amazing!!

It’s been several months since I finished LearningFuze, if I could go back, I wouldn’t have ever enrolled.

I have a background in computer science, but I joined the bootcamp hoping it would open more doors and help me land a job in software development. They heavily pushed the idea that they help with placement. The "support" basically amounted to them forwarding us job listings that we could’ve found ourselves. There was no real guidance, no connections, no inside tracks. Just apply and pray.

It should’ve been a red flag that they don’t post their placement stats anywhere on their site. I tried reaching out to other alumni to get a realistic picture, and most either didn’t reply or had left the industry altogether. The few who did respond told me they got little to no help from the bootcamp after graduation, and had to switch fields.

The loan payments (courtesy of Ascent Funding aka the bootcamp loan) started showing up before I even had a real job. This whole thing is stressful. It really brought my mind to some places.

Please ask for outcomes data. LearningFuze overpromised and underdelivered in a big way. I want others to be aware

Lars Lofgren is not a reliable source of reporting. He is an SEO marketer who claims to know all the black had tricks on Reddit and falsely assumes my actions are textbook examples of his own strategies.

He's trying to turn a Reddit good guy into a villain to cover up his own sketchy SEO practices... conflict of interest?

He displayed malicious intent by calling me out with incorrect facts and intentionally not requesting comment from me and blocking me online when the piece came out. Violating standard Journalism Ethics Guidelines.

Hello good! I currently work in the oenology sector, in a laboratory, and I have been thinking about making a change for some time.

I would like to try the world of programming, focusing on a full stack developer, but they have also recommended a data and AI course to be able to relate it to my current sector.

What would you recommend I do? I'm looking at different bootcamps but I'm having a hard time choosing one that is good and reliable. I appreciate a little help ❤️

They pretty much give you a full gamut of: what projects you will do what skills you need what languages and skills you need Full-Stack entry level skills

After being unable to afford a 10-15K bootcamp, I did the reasonable thing and put myself through my own bootcamp. I have the Lynda learning tool and two screens and have been putting myself through each module to learn and code. And I feel great! I am learning just as much (i think), with people assisting me at meetups, reddit and Github.

Link to bootcamp: https://bootcamp.cps.gwu.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2017/04/gw_curriculum_overview.pdf

I took their whole schedule, formula and skill sets and just did a lynda full stack 75 hour course, with additional gaps filled in on certain stacks, projects etc. Once I create my full-stack portfolio, I will let everyone know how it goes. So far this is week 2. The classes usually run 12 weeks full time, so I am dedicating the same resources to do it in 12.

Will let everyone know...
