2 of our cohorts graduated last week, and while we miss them already, we loved reading what they had to say about their experiences at Actualize. Check out the rest of this review and others at switchup.org/bootcamps/actualize and coursereport.com/schools/actualize
Full review:
"Actualize was, in fact, the only bootcamp I applied to after deciding to learn how to code—I found their program on Course Report and sent off an application, telling myself I'd go back and consider other options later. However, after hearing back from their enrollment team and especially after interviewing with Ricky, I decided to jump into their program. This is a decision I have not questioned even once in the past four months. I think the first thing that stands out to me about this school is how relaxed, considerate, and friendly the faculty and program are as a whole, providing extensive feedback and support not only about coding, technical skills, and the process of job searching, but also in regards to emotional well-being and maintaining life-work balance. My instructor was Amanda, who is both a phenomenal teacher and a real sweetheart; her guidance and instruction was only outmatched by her encouragement, positive attitude, and outstanding ability to coax out the best in her students. It's hard to overstate how crucial that community aspect was to my experience at Actualize—after only 12 weeks of digital meetings, I find myself feeling close to the people I have studied and worked with here, and am excited to see what they go on to do. To that end, Actualize also provides excellent guidance in its charmingly-titled "Job Hacking" course, which course I am really grateful to have as a continued part of the education I have received here. Overall, this is a phenomenal school providing the best in online bootcamp learning; I have already recommended the program to a few friends and will continue to do so any time someone asks me about coding bootcamp."
