The instructor, TAs and student success manager are super supportive and very knowledgeable. The instructors are always available through Slack, and really take the time to dive into more complex topics with students. There are also private tutoring sessions for students which can be very helpful.
Also, I know the connections and friends I made through this course will be lifelong buddies in our Web Development Journey
Lastly, the career services department is very helpful in teaching techniques and skills needed for finding a new jon (such as whiteboard/behavioral interviewing, job search locations, resume and cover letter help, etc.). They dont get a job for you, but give you the skills needed to succed and continue learning and growing.
I reccomend this course very highly. :)

Full Stack Web development
The DU Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp was great! It was very challenging but I felt like the people running it were very interested in my success. I had the opportunity to meet other students and like the in class room time a lot. The curriculum was well designed and supportive to learning at a fast pace.

I'm a bit of a unicorn when it comes to Denver coding schools, I've gone to two. Both were 6 to 7 months. I can say without a doubt that the University of Denver Coding Bootcamp is the best in Denver. There is a full staff of teachers, TA's, tutors, and DU administration to support you along the way. I had the great opportunity to learn frontend and backend languages to build real world web applications that I can use for my portfolio. I'm excited to use my new skills!

Cons:
- Relatively new to flushing out some of the kinks in the curriculum
- Career services are also new and needed more work in offering more practical support but are already beginning to improve

This is a great bootcamp program for anyone who might be interested in learning something new, exciting, and in-demand. The curriculum is very well designed for the student to succeed. The support is everything that one would expect, and then some. The instructor was very well qualified, an excellent teacher, and truly cared about his students. - AnonymousGraduate • Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • DenverOct 28, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The bare minimum
I completed the University of Denver Full Stack Flex bootcamp run my 2U/Trilogy education. I enjoyed my teacher, the TAs, and a few things in the class, but overall I was quite disappointed compared to what was sold to me by the "Admissions Advisor". Career services and feedback on projects are probably the 2 biggest let downs. Every benefit from the course you have to really chase down by being a squeaky wheel. The curriculum is definitely a bit out of date as well.Boot Camp Team of University of Denver Boot Camps

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear that you found the boot camp's instructional staff supportive, however, we understand that the experience overall did not meet your expectations. Many learners enroll in the program to become competitive web development candidates, which is why our career services curriculum starts on the first day of class, with continuous support during and beyond the boot camp. We welcome you to reach out to us by phone to further discuss any concerns, and provide you with any additional career services you may qualify for. Please call us directly at (303) 223-1868.

Programming Bootcamp
I am currently in the Programming bootcamp for the university of Denver - part time and am a total beginner to coding. I would not reccommend this to someone new to coding, teach yourself as much Javascript as you can before starting. I would reccommend being at an advanced level of Javascript. If not, you will be completely lost the entire time as they hit hardest on that.

If not, you will be completely lost the entire time as they hit hardest on that.
I am not a fan of spending 9+ hours of class a week while having a full time job -- many in my class are taking a leave of absence from work to do this. Also many in my class have mentioned that the full time program is terrible so don't do that one. If you are a total beginner programmer, I would highly reccommend taking a leave of absence from work as you will be spending hours upon hours just trying to understand the material. If you have a full time job, you will not have enough time to study sufficiently enough to actually learn the new and random material they throw at you every single week.
I honestly wish I did the UX/UI program or simply just learning only 1 language for a few months just doing a certificate. It's simply way too much trying to fully learn anything. I am at the point of just zoning out the professor and just barely getting by on passing the homework. Super intensive, so intensive that it's boring because you never get to know anything in depth well enough to actually be able to do anything.
Pros - I learned a lot of coding that I can now continue to learn on my own time since I have a good start. Good university, helpful TA's, good career resources and additional classes on how to interview, etc if you want to attend those extra ones.
Cons - You don't really learn much but the basics of everything, esp if you are a total beginner to coding unless you can afford to take an leave of absence from work.Boot Camp Team of University of Denver Boot Camps

Thank you for your feedback. We regret the boot camp as a whole is not living up to your expectations.
Our course serves a mix of individuals ranging from those with zero coding experience to experienced professionals. Like you mentioned, this is a fast-paced and rigorous program requiring an extensive amount of time to truly master the topics covered. We strive to communicate to students prior to enrolling that they will need to spend 20-30 hours a week studying outside of class in order to truly succeed. We equip individuals with a robust academic framework and begin by covering the fundamentals. Each of our class sessions is designed to build upon the last, and we do find that as the course continues, students begin to feel more and more confident in their skills.
We recognize how challenging it can be to balance your studies with your personal commitments. Our part-time program offers supportive guidance through office hours, teaching assistants, Slack, and our free tutor network. We're glad to hear you've been taking advantage of some of these available resources. Our main priority is and will continue to be the learner experience and we want all individuals to receive the aid they need to be successful. We appreciate your input, as we're constantly optimizing our program offerings.
We would love the opportunity to speak with you directly to learn how else we can assist you at this time. If you would like, please reach out to us at (303) 223-1868. - AnonymousGraduate • DenverJun 02, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great way to spend $10,000 so you can pretend like you’re going to a nice school for 3 months. But then you find out that you are most likely going to need to get a bachelors in computer science before 99% of employers will even consider you.

They tell you (quite conveniently after you’ve passed the refund period) that you should take any developer job you can get no matter how terrible or poorly paying so you can get the experience that employers want. When you finally come to terms with the fact that unless you were roughly in the top 10% of the class, you probably aren’t getting anywhere without a college degree, you then realize you spent 10k for a piece of paper and zero transferable college credits. That’s not to mention the 3 months that I took off of work so I could focus on the fast pace of the full-time course, which the school recommended. The best part of the course, by far, was the instructor, however she is no longer with the school. The best thing I can say is that it probably gave me a small of a head start on the fundamentals for a computer science degree, but again, you get no college credits for this course. 2/10 would not recommend.Boot Camp Team of University of Denver Boot Camps

Thank you for your feedback. We're glad to hear you found our instructional team to be knowledgeable but regret to hear the boot camp as a whole did not live up to your expectations.
This is a fast-paced and challenging program, covering a wide range of knowledge in a limited amount of time. Our course serves a mix of individuals ranging from those with zero coding experience to computer science students as well as experienced professionals. Like you mentioned, we equip individuals with a robust academic framework and begin by covering the fundamentals, providing each learner with a solid foundation of knowledge upon which they will build throughout the program; each lesson does build on the last and there are no shortcuts to focusing on the basics at first. We have found that his proven methodology has helped participants not only gain confidence in their newfound skills but also successfully enter the professional world. From your review, we understand that you did not feel this learning approach was sufficiently beneficial for you and we appreciate your input as we're constantly optimizing our curriculum and program offerings.
Job seeking is difficult and takes hard work on behalf of the student. We are incredibly proud of the outcomes our learners have achieved with hard work and dedication, especially those individuals who enroll in the program without previous experience or degrees. As such our professional development services are built on the principle of empowerment; while we do not secure employment for students, we do provide individualized support through technical interview training, portfolio reviews, resume/social media profile support, and more. We hope you were able to benefit from your coaching sessions and these additional resources.
It's our goal for all students to leave the boot camp feeling equipped with the skills they need to succeed.

This bootcamp is a great introductio to full stack web development. You start off with basic coding languages, and build upon those skills to include databases and progressive web applications. You'll need to do additional research and coding to really solidify the skills you learn here, but I gained a lot of invaluable knowledge here.Boot Camp Team of University of Denver Boot Camps
