Full Stack Intensive was a pretty great course. My instructor Marie was very experienced and has a good eye for how to pace the course. The course is tough at times, and I'm glad I did some online courses first, but it's totally worth it. By the end you'll have a good feel for how development works and how to think about code. And after you finish the core course, you'll be directed towards building your own portfolio.
The main course is well ordered. HTML/CSS first, then Javascript...

The main course is well ordered. HTML/CSS first, then Javascript, then PHP and MVC. It's tough to take it all in, but it doesn't matter too much if you don't. You'll have access to the online materials to review in the future if you need them. I found the process intense (it's called intensive after all) but I didn't feel overwhelmed. If you need anything, Marie will tell you exactly what you need, she's great at seeing exactly what's wrong. Her written materials can be challenging for beginners as they don't always spell out the basics, but overall they're a wealth of knowledge that I referred back to a lot.
The final month you build a project together in a group. Marie acts as 'Senior Developer' and 'Client' at the same time, and helps drive the project along, giving coding assistance if you need it. The project is whatever you want to make, something you come up with together as a group. Marie insisted on best practices, but gave us control of 'Trello' where we assigned work to each other. By the end we made something pretty decent that demonstrates coding in an MVC framework.
After the course you have a portfolio building month and then pay for further months at 100,000원. I paid for one extra month, and found the job support from the staff very useful. They performed mock interviews, gave project ideas and recommended further study. I managed to make some pretty decent React projects from the study recommendations and ideas. After that you can still ask questions about jobs, projects and ask for mock interviews online if you need to. With the expectations of programming jobs these days, it won't get you a job on it's own, especially not in Korea. But it is a good start to understanding code and beginning a journey towards employment.
