Eileen D.
University of Central Florida Data Analytics and Visualization Boot Camp
“I was able to gain experience in public speaking and presentations, expand networking, and learn new skills that I never had access to. … It save[d] time from going to conventional college or graduate classes, while allowing the hands-on experience to learn necessary tools to succeed.”
Ryan W.
George Washington University Coding Boot Camp
“I wanted to transition into a career in information technology. I had experience in IT from my service in the Army, but I went into non-technical work after my transition. I realized that I desired to learn more about software development and agile principles and use this to help catapult my career into technology. The course and material gave me so much knowledge and so many tools to help improve myself professionally.”
Cesar P.
The University of Arizona Coding Boot Camp
“Going to boot camp was one of the most important things I’ve ever done in my life. More than ASU, more than the Air Force. It’s changed everything for me in just a year’s time. Literally everything I learned at boot camp, I use [at work]. Not only that, but I have such a strong foundation that I’m able to pick up on new things so quickly and easily.”
