Hello! writing a review telling you about Skillcrush?? with PLEASURE :D
I'm attending the online Front End Developer blueprint and I've started basically from nothing, i had a very very basics idea of what developers do, but this blueprint is opening my eyes, mind and teaching me a lot!!! Well structured, with a lot of online resources provided, links to super useful information and the possibility to study at your own pace. Need help or have questions? don't worry, teachers are always available via email but you can always count on the great Google Group, a community you'll be part of from day one! Besides teachers, there you'll find other students willing to help you, work together and share info, a great Team Work, with no judgement!! I am learning a lot and I'm glad I've decided to do this course; certainly you'll have to find the time to practice every day, if you're a beginner like me I highly recommend to create a study routine and keep it!
CONCLUSION: yes! I recommend Skillcrush, no doubts about it :) Thanks again Adda&Team !!!
I'm currently enrolled in the Skillcrush WordPress Developer Blueprint, a 9 month class that includes the front-end blueprint, WordPress blueprint, and visual design blueprint. Before starting, I'd never touched a line of code. Skillcrush has helped me learn new skills, cultivate a love of all things websites, and launch my own freelance biz. I'm so greatful to the support of the class mentors, who've helped me spot more bugs than I knew were possible. The material can be challenging, and ...

Before starting, I'd never touched a line of code. Skillcrush has helped me learn new skills, cultivate a love of all things websites, and launch my own freelance biz. I'm so greatful to the support of the class mentors, who've helped me spot more bugs than I knew were possible. The material can be challenging, and to reall 'get' it you'll need lots of practice, but Skillcrush is a great place to start. They offer a stellar product at an affordable price point.
I am two weeks into the Front End Developer Blueprint and I am absolutely loving it! This is a fantastic, non-threatening, female-centric course that makes what would normally be a daunting experience really enjoyable. I'm really excited to be learning something new that will help me to earn more and work my job around my life rather than the other way around.

I am two weeks into the Front End Developer Blueprint and I am absolutely loving it! This is a fantastic, non-threatening, female-centric course that makes what would normally be a daunting experience really enjoyable. I'm really excited to be learning something new that will help me to earn more and work my job around my life rather than the other way around. I have recommended this course to a lot of people already, including my admissions co-ordinator at Remote Year, which I'll be joining soon. He was really impressed with what he heard and will recommend Skillcrush to other applicants who are looking to make coding a career and change their lives for the better! I am so grateful to have found Skillcrush and can't recommend the course highly enough.
I am very happy with Skillcrush's Front-End Developer Blueprint. I like that they teach a couple things a day and give us chances to practice, so that we can grasp the concept. I was extremely nervous before I started the course that I wouldn't be able to keep up, but with the way this course is set up I haven't had any problems at all. I can't wait to turn my life around with a career in tech.
There are many things to love about Skillcrush. They seem to seek the advancement of women in the tech industry. They are lighthearted and open and eager to sign people up for their blueprints. However, if you are a complete newbie and need close mentorship, you're not going to find it here. When you download challenges into the system there is no feedback as to whether you completed the task correctly. It kind of goes out in limbo. Even though there is a Google Group community that corres...
There are many things to love about Skillcrush. They seem to seek the advancement of women in the tech industry. They are lighthearted and open and eager to sign people up for their blueprints. However, if you are a complete newbie and need close mentorship, you're not going to find it here. When you download challenges into the system there is no feedback as to whether you completed the task correctly. It kind of goes out in limbo. Even though there is a Google Group community that corresponds to your Blueprint, it is not the same as having a mentor. I tried two courses with Skillcrush and did not receive the support I needed. On the second one I did not recieve the access to materials you're promised. I am very saddened because I had very high hopes of getting the training promised by Skillcrush.
I found Skillcrush after messing around on free sites like Codeschool and Codeacademy. While they were both good programs and a nice starting point I didn't find their set-up enjoyable. Skillcrush is just more personable and the way they break down lessons is helpful. It's a lot of information they impart on you especially given the 3-month timeline, but they separate it into manageable bits-so no information overload!

I chose to start my Skillcrush journey with the Visual Design Blueprint because it was along the lines of training I've already done, and I love designing so win-win. I loved having a google group to resource like a normal class and Feedback is great to learn to grow. I also loved that they continue supporting you after your finished and you have several pieces to produce for a portfolio. Because they can't possibly fit in everything you need to learn in just 3-months they make sure to break it down to what you need to know and give you resources to grow further in your career.
The one thing I would like to see (I don't know if it would actually be feasible) would be to have events held. Like mini-hackathons for Skillcrush students once in a while or a designing event students-both past and present-can opt in to where teams of even say 2 or 3 design a brand, website, etc. They could have a variety of challenges, or set-up a collaborative environment where students in the design courses submit their design to have developers code it. It wouldn't have to be as part of the required lessons, but could be something extra they do. It would be good practice and it would help increase your skillset with collaborating with a team remotely. Again, it's just a thought.
I have been learning at Skillcrush for several years now. I just finished my WordPress blueprint and am still hammering away at the Ruby course. I love Skillcrush! The instructors are super friendly and fast with follow up to questions. Sometimes the lesson challenges are more complex than the lesson instructions and I can see where a little more depth and detail could be helpful, but I really feel like I have built my skill set immeasurably.
I came across an ad for skillcrush on Facbook and a few other places. I had been trying to teach myself to learn to code through free sites but it was very slow going and dry, and there was really no one to help me when I had questions.
Coding seemed like a good way to make some money on the side and transition out of a career that I wasn't crazy about.

Coding seemed like a good way to make some money on the side and transition out of a career that I wasn't crazy about.
I liked the tone of what I read on the ads and the brochure for how to earn $1000 while learning to code so I signed up. I really enjoy the lessons and like how they are broken up into very manageable bites so that it is easier to remember. Adda is positive and slightly goofy at times keeps the material from being boring. The resources and additional help they provide are amazing as well. The customer service has been incredible whenever I've had questions.
About two weeks after I started the course, I got laid off. After only a week someone at a large firm has already told me that I could freelance for them as soon as I am ready. I never expected for my skills to be THAT in demand! I am learning as fast as I can and enjoying myself. I look forward to a rewarding career in tech and have already recommended this class to several friends.
Happy to be part of this Skillcrush training. Discussions and resources are great.
What I like also is the Skillcrush community - having mentors and classmates who are willing to assist you when you have doubts in your activities.
Since joining Skillcrush I've enjoyed a renewed sense of enthusiasm for learning. There are multiple ways to get support from talented and highly-skilled staff, countless resources and opportunities to refine my skills each week, and unique and constructive forums to offer support, and receive valuable support from the other students in the blueprints.

Since joining Skillcrush I've enjoyed a renewed sense of enthusiasm for learning. There are multiple ways to get support from talented and highly-skilled staff, countless resources and opportunities to refine my skills each week, and unique and constructive forums to offer support, and receive valuable support from the other students in the blueprints. I am only a few weeks into the curriculum and already feel WAY more confident in my future as a valuable and successful web developer/web designer. Skillcrush was originally conceived as an interactive learning community for women and I believe Skillcrush has seen men gravitating to their blueprints because of the great value and highly effective approach to delivering valuable skills to jump-start their own careers. I feel welcome as a man among a strong team of talented women and gain tremendous support from the other Skillcrushers within the course. This was one of the smartest decisions I've made. Thank you!
The course I apploed to is the full Wordpress Bootcamp, which includes the Front End Developer Blueprint, the Wordpress Developer Blueprint, and the Visual Design Blueprint. So far I am only at the end of my second week into the course, and I am loving every single minute of it!

The course I apploed to is the full Wordpress Bootcamp, which includes the Front End Developer Blueprint, the Wordpress Developer Blueprint, and the Visual Design Blueprint. So far I am only at the end of my second week into the course, and I am loving every single minute of it!
The lessons are designed so that they are easy to complete in less than an hour a day (yet some offer extra resources and links to blog entries that you can look at freely should you have more time on your hands). The instructor explains everything in a way that is specific to that lesson - no more, no less - so that the student can understand everything they need to complete that day's lesson, yet not feel overwhelmed with extra info that they don't need to know just yet.
I also appreciate the hidden humor in most of the lesson videos and documents - who doesn't appreciate an extra little laugh a day - such as the silly sentences used to illustrate examples of formatting, etc. I often find myself giggling to myself when watching the videos which takes alot of pressure off and makes the overall lesson that much more enjoyable. :)
In the past couple of weeks, this course has become the hilight of my day, and I find myself waking up excited and looking forward to the new lesson (and some days, when I have more time and just want a little more, I may also preview ahead and check the next day's lesson, too!)
I will add one thing: this program seems geared towards beginners and newbies (like me!) so I find myself learning something new every day! But it may not be for you if you already have some previous knowledge and experience in coding. I find it is the perfect pace for me to learn, and considering all that you can learn from the comfort of your own home, I find it well worth its value, and definitely more worth it for me than spending thousands on a college course with less flexibility and a whole bunch of other distractions and unnecessary classes (who really needs PE and algebra if that's not your focus of study?)
Final word? DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! (And THANK YOU Skillcrush!)
