Tecnológico de Monterrey Boot Camps

I wanted to attend any sort of bootcamp to have better practical skills programming. You can learn most of the stuff that this course teaches online for free, but if you're like me and find yourself not knowing where to start or have trouble learning without a teacher and classmates this is definetly the way to go. The thing about this course is that it's not like college classes or any normal class that you would attend (unless you are familiar with the learning model that Tec offers on campus) you really have to learn a lot of stuff by yourself and put a lot of hours outside of class if you want to master the content, there's a lot of stuff that you don't get to see completely and if you stay with the information that the class gives you you will struggle a lot.If you think you can learn to code by yourself you can do it, the resources are out there but you have to look for them, you will learn most of the stuff by yourself in this course but you have a group of people that can support you and solve your questions.

I'm happy with my experience attending the bootcamp, but this definitely feels like its just the start of the learning. I haven't finished it yet, but I will in less than a month, and I really want to learn more about the subjects that I've seen and improve my skillset, the most important thing for me is that at the beginning I didn't know where to start and now I know where I want to go with what I've learned and I know the path that I want to take. After a little digging I found out that some of the stuff that they teach you is a little outdated, but I know that they already updated the program curriculum, another thing that I didn't find out until I started the program is that Tecnologico de Monterrey doesn't design this program, it's designed by Trilogy Educational Services and I would say that it could be designed better. A lot of what you see has a lot of spaces in between and by the last weeks you really have a lot of questions about the topics that you see in class (that's where you have to start learning a lot of stuff by yourself), so if you have the impression that this class will give you absolutely everything that you have to learn to code you are wrong, the thing is that most of the time it will be like that in other courses/classes so be prepared to work hard if you enroll in this course.

I think that I have way better practical skills programming but I'm lacking the theory behind it, so I would say I'm pleased with the bootcamp so far but it's not for everyone. Would I recommend it? It's hard to tell because I don't know you, I did my best to describe how the classes were for me, if you are willing to put a lot of time and effort into the class and value the paper that you will get at the end of the course then yes. If you are studying in college something similar to this and you feel like you have to complement what you are learning with a bootcamp, nope I think you can learn everything by yourself and you will save a lot of money. (sorry for any typos :p)

As an IT professional is pretty important to be up to date with all the technologies and current trends on the market, that's why I joined this coding Bootcamp. I wanted to learn some new technologies and improve my developer/programming skills, and it has been one of the greatest experiences I've ever had and definitely one of the best investments I could've done. It's a very challenging course, and requires time and way too much effort from yourself. However you learn from the very basics (this means there's no need to have previous knowledge about the topics, although it's recommended) and the teachers' support is completely awesome, they assist on any doubt or question you may have. 

It's nice to realize that in 3 months I've learnt more than I haven't in years, and even nicer to know I still have 3 months left to improve myself as a developer.

There are no words to describe how much I would recommend this to anyone.

This Coding Bootcamp is definitely a life changer! I was looking to make a career change in something that interested me, and I liked this Bootcamp because it required no previous experience as a programmer to start. I thought I would just learn the very basics, but since Week 8 I realized I was learning a lot more than the basics! Checking some job openings around this time I realized I could already apply for them - and I still had 16 weeks of Bootcamp left!

You do need to be commited because there is a lot of new information you will learn, and you need to develop research skills as well because the homeworks and projects are really challenging and you will need to look online for the code snippets to make it all work. However, you will still need to put your own code together and that takes several hours so you do need to know this Bootcamp requires a lot of time.

The teachers are very knowledgeable and very commited to helping you learn. They are always quick to answer through Slack, or e-mail if you ever need any help and they do their best in the classroom to attend to each student individually. There are also a lot of extra conferences and seminars you can attend thanks to the Bootcamp that really expand your knowledge.

Overall, I am extremely pleased with the Bootcamp! It's an investment that I really recommend for anybody wanting to learn about coding because you learn so much stuff about programming that will be extremely useful as our technologies and societies come to rely on it more and more!

When I applied to the bootcamp I knew it was going to be hard, specially because of my lack of programming knowledge. So I was kind of expecting that part. But I didn't expect so much support from teachers and TA's, tutors etc. And everybody was extermely knowledgeable and willing to help you. 

It is a huge challenge to be honest you need to be in the right mindset and have a full sense of conviction that you are willing to dedicate yourself to it 100%. And practice even whe you are tired. But definitely the staff made everything awesome. 

The best part that you take from all this is that you learn "how to learn". I would totally recommend this bootcamp if you are looking for an awesome career change or just looking to learn something incredible that will completely challenge you and change the way you think. <3

I would definitely recommend this course, in my personal opinion although I had almost zero backgrounds in programming, I was super satisfied and impressed with all the new learning and my final projects and new skills results. This program does require compromise and putting in the hrs! I first sought programming skills because I work as a freelancer in design and thought the skill will give me a great advantage in the design and MKT industry. Although i started with this particular idea (just landing pages) throughout the course i discovered lot´s of opportunities and new passions like front-end and user experience skills! The program is super complete and the most important thing i get out of this is that they teach you how to learn, because of the constant changes in tech fields I find it as the most important new learning. Last but not least, they have an awesome community that supports you through tutoring and excellent mentors.

I was looking for an course like this, I found a couple of them but somehow they didn´t seem to be the right fit, I tried online courses but at some point I really needed guidance, so when I came across the Tec Bootcamp, I started to look into it and it felt like it was tailored to what I was looking for.

I´m still a student and have 1 month left to go, basically the final project where you put it all together and show what you´ve learned but I can honestly say this is the best learning exprience I have ever been in, it is very challlengiing, but at the same time you get a lot of support from the instructor and TAs so you never feel like you ara on your own.

 I had very little knowledge about coding when I started, basically just conceptual, and now I feel really prepared to build pages and take on more complex projects.

I definitely recommend the TEC Coding Bootcamp, they make sure that what you learn is the latest technology used by the industry and prepare you for jub hunting. You will come out of this as a full stack developer as long as you are willing to put in the hours, because it is really demanding timewise but very rewarding at the same time.

A year ago I had the urge to learn to code to start on some personal business projects. I started to investigate some programming courses and that's when the Instagram ad for the Tec de Monterrey Coding Bootcamp showed up. It was meant to be, so I applied. I went through several interviews before being accepted. I was ready to start this new chapter.

I knew nothing about coding. And I didn´t know what to expect from the course. I just knew that is was going to be a really intense bootcamp. The first weeks were hard since I didn´t know anything about this. But the only way to make it work was to put lots of attention in class, finish the class assignments, and fullfil the homeworks. The weeks started going by with each week learning new topics every day. I felt really well with my contributions on projects 1 and 2.

Now we are in week 20, only 4 weeks to go. We are about to finish the class topics and start with the final project. I feel really well prepared to complete this project by myself and ready to go outside and start creating my full stack projects on my own. This last 5 months have been really intense, frustrating at times, challenging, enrichening, rewarding, and prideful.

I would recommend the Tec de Monterrey Coding Bootcamp to everyone. You will learn a lot, you will be completely ready to be a full stack web developer after you complete the bootcamp. But, you will need to be willing to put in the work, the time, attention during clases, do the class assignments, continue practicing when you are not in class, and complete the homeworks. Everything else, leave it to the great teacher and TA´s, they will support you in everything you need.

I first heard about the bootcamp because of a friend of mine took the full time one in Austin (3 months!) and landed a full time job shortly after graduating. I wouldn't have believed that, but I know my friend, I saw him become a lawyer a couple years ago, and saw him leave for some months to Austin to take the course, and saw him change career in a short time.
So I took the plunge, not knowing I was getting into one of the most interesting courses I've ever taken. It has been fun... but it also has been hard.
Don't get me wrong, I'm loving it, but I've had to make adjustments in many places in my life to make enough time to take the course, and practice, practice, and practice (!!!!) outside of class. But, the most important thing, it has been worth it.

I've asked so many questions to the teacher and the TAs and they're all VERY knowleadgable, and most of all, friendly! For instance, I'm currently doing an out of class project for my startup, and the teacher has taken his own time to mentor me through the process, I'm almost ready to release to production and we're not even halfway through the course!

All in all, I'm very happy with the experience and I'll come back in 3 months to update it after I've finished the bootcamp.
