    Great Software Engineering Program

    Starting Kenzie Academy has been one of the better career/life decisions I have made. I needed something to jumpstart my career and Kenzie has definitely given me the tools to do that. I feel confident that with the education and assistance provided by Kenzie Academy, I should be able to find a job using my new skills.

    Full Stack Development

    I enrolled in Kenzie Academy's Full Stack Web Development course 4 months ago. Since then, I have learned a robust amount of in-depth knowledge that more than keeps me occupied! I have been self-taught for many years, but nothing beats the amazing instructors at Kenzie Academy. For awhile, I was far ahead and needed some extra work. One quick question to the instructors led me to be sufficiently challenged and my thirst for learning reinvigorated!

    Such a cool experience!

    Coming in with no experience in any type of web design, or development, it goes without saying that it seems intimidating up front. However, a very informative and in-depth curriculum, dedicated on-site instructors, and amazing learning environment make for an enjoyable, not to mention practical, learning experience. 

    The program cultivates creativity, community, and a judgement-free zone, no matter your level of experience with web development, designed to make sure that you perso...

    Student at Kenzie

    Kenzie Academy is a great place to be and great place to learn, prior to attending Kenzie I was a Paramedic with 6 years in the public safety industry.  Traditional college was not an option for me.  Kenzie Academy's education track puts you in the right direction for a blossoming career in the tech industry.  The curriculum is tough but the instructors and staff are available around the clock and extremely informative. The staff at Kenzie has many years in the industry with lots of connec...

    Do not go here.

    If I could do it all over again I would've not gone to Kenzie. 

    During the first few months, everything is fine, the instructors lie to you and tell you you don't need a degree in UX to be successful (coming from people that went to top universities or have their master's degree) and that everything is fine. You'll be successful having just a certificate in UX. What they don't tell you is that the job market is not only hard but really competitive. Over half a year later I'm still...

    Beware - Job Placement Nonexistent, No Student Support

    5 Instructor stars for: Sharmin Kent and Angela Knezevich


    I attended Kenzie Academy for the Digital Marketing (DM) Program. If you look on their website, the DM program is no where to be found. I'd list this is the #1 red flag. There are no student testimonials from the DM program. of which there were 4 cohorts.

    The first instructor, Sharmin, was excellent. She gave lots of time to teaching and encouraging students despite any challenges outside of the course they might...
