    Course Completion

    To whom it may concern,                        The past has a way of showing us how we have struggled, and where we have overcome that to find success, or where issues still lie. It is hindsight. It is insight.             With the introduction of normal learning environments in college, I had never found them to be anything more than a conceptualized idea helping to guide minds in the direction that knowledge flows.

    UX/UI Program

    The quality of GW's UX/UI program more than exceeded my expectations! Having an instructor who is also successfully working in the field, plus a TA that had fairly recently completed her own similar bootcamp program, they maintained focus on the tools and foundational learnings currently necessary to thrive in the field. Class was always challenging but in a positive way. Students were encouraged to go outside of their comfort zones. I certainly did and feel I achieved a level of growth ...

    The instructional team was composed of industry professionals who were top-notch teachers. The curriculum was super relevant, and the hands-on, in-class environment was exactly what I was looking for - collaborative and engaging. They handled a smooth transition to an online format during the COVID-19 pandemic that was still supportive of students.

    Best Coding Bootcamp Instructor Out There!

    I started the 6 month GW Analytics Bootcamp in September, 2019. This is a part-time bootcamp with two classes after work and one on Saturday. Many comparable bootcamps like Flatiron and Galvanize are only full-time so one of the immeadiate benefits of GW's is getting to keep your job.

    Obvisously, after working 8 hour days though, it is crucial to have an instructor with a lot of energy that can keep you going. Not only is my instructor at GW extremely passionate about teaching us...

    My Story

    My experience at George Washington’s (GW) Coding Boot Camp was both physically and mentally challenging. Despite not being an easy, I wouldn't trade my experience for the world, as I did not anticipate the skills acquired would be so rewarding. In-fact, towards the beginning of the course in March, I unexpectedly lost my mother.  And tragically, a month later my aunt also passed, consequently contributing to financial hardships/ I struggled to manage the many educational and profe...

    Not worth it

    I didn’t want to write this review at first but then I thought it was necessary because it can help other people and because this place is overrated by fake good reviews or reviews by people who used to work here. 

    When the class started our instructor left after the first week. Then we got a new one who didn’t seem to be knowledgeable at all and was a really bad teacher who was only “reading” the code without explaining how it was written and how to write it. ...

    Thank you for your review, Dmitri. This platform is independently operated and moderated by Course Report in order to ensure the legitimacy of reviews and that posts adhere to their guidelines. We value honesty and appreciate all input from our students—both negative and positive—as we are constantly optimizing our boot camp offerings and support services.

    From your review, we understand that your program experience did not live up to your expectations. Like you mentioned, your class did encounter some unexpected instructional changes and we understand that this impacted your experience. It's our goal to hire quality instructors through our rigorous, multi-part interview process, requiring a minimum of three years' experience in the field, but we understand that not all teaching styles will resonate with every student.

    We pride ourselves on teaching individuals how to learn, and try to make students aware that as this is a boot camp, topics are covered at a high level in class, allowing students to build a strong foundational skill set so that they can master other languages and frameworks on their own. You are completely right that the accelerated full-time program is challenging and moves fast, requiring a serious time commitment both inside and outside of the classroom in order to master the curriculum. We are glad to hear you found our career services assistance to be helpful.

    It is our goal for all learners to complete the course feeling properly equipped with the knowledge and resources they need to step out into the industry. We know our students put in hours of hard work and dedication throughout the program in order to earn their certificate, so we sincerely regret any delays you experienced in obtaining your certificate after completing the program. All student certificates have since been sent out in the mail and tracking information was provided. If you would like, we would truly welcome the opportunity to speak to you personally. Please reach out to us directly at (202) 629-0252.

    What You Make Of It

    I was very hesitant to write this review, however I feel as though I owe it to future students to paint an accurate picture of the GW Boot Camp Experience.  I tried discussing my concerns with the "Student Success Manager", but unfortunately my several emails went unanswered.  Seeing the long, buzzword-filled responses to other reviews, it certainly appears that GW (Trilogy) cares far more about the outward appearance of this boot camp than the experience of current students.

    Thank you for your feedback, Eric. We're happy to hear you're benefiting from the support of our instructional team and are finding the subject matter to be interesting.

    Like you noted, the GW College of Professional Studies has partnered with Trilogy Education Services (TES) to offer the GW Data Analytics Boot Camp. GW is deeply involved in the curriculum, instructor selection, and outcomes of each of our classes, and routinely meet in conjunction with TES to monitor the learning experience and performance. Both GW and TES are truly dedicated to transforming students' lives and aim to be fully transparent about this relationship throughout the admissions process and course.

    We regret to hear that the program is not living up to your expectations. Our boot camp serves a mix of individuals ranging from beginners to professionals. For our data analytics course, we do recommend applicants hold a Bachelor’s Degree or have at least two years of experience in business, management, finance, statistics, or a related field. We understand that the course material is challenging and moves at a rapid pace, and before the first day of class, all students are provided 30 hours of pre-work to help them prepare. We do also recommend that those without any previous experience spend additional time completing free online tutorials. Upon starting, we begin by covering the basics, providing a solid foundation learners can build upon. Each lesson iteratively builds on the last and we find that as the curriculum progresses, individuals feel more and more confident in the material.

    Due to unforeseen events, your cohort did undergo an instructional change and understand that this has greatly impacted your experience. In light of this unexpected situation, we secured an additional TA to increase the classroom assistance and are offering supplemental tutoring to ensure all students are properly being supported. We understand not all teaching styles will resonate with every individual and adjusting to new methodologies can be difficult. As such, we have provided access to our additional instructor's recordings, starting from week four, and are currently hosting three-hour remote sessions on Fridays for all learners to participate in. Our main priority is and will continue to be the student experience and we strive to be as responsive as we can.

    We sincerely care about all of our students and appreciate your patience. We will continue working hard to provide any and all additional academic support necessary to you and your classmates going forward.
