These bootcamps are a scam. I graduated the coding bootcamp at UNC - Chapel Hill which I learned after I registered wasn’t a UNC instructor led program at all but an outside company called edx. The stuff they teach is introductory website development but when you enroll you’re under the impression that you could be a software engineer.

I graduated the coding bootcamp at UNC - Chapel Hill which I learned after I registered wasn’t a UNC instructor led program at all but an outside company called edx. The stuff they teach is introductory website development but when you enroll you’re under the impression that you could be a software engineer. In classes of 50 at the start dwindles down to 20-30 by the end with no more than 5 actually landing a job. The number of people who are 15k in debt with nothing to show for it but a piece of paper, myself included, makes me sick. In my experience of the job search no one wants a bootcamp graduate without an comp sci degree and the tests they make you take before they’ll even consider interviewing you are light years beyond anything you learn in the bootcamp. They claim they offer job assistance but it’s basically useless. The only job you can get with ease is with edX as a teaching assistant to the next groups of poor souls who take the course. It’s like a pyramid scheme. And they have you rate your experience of the career placement/job help before you even receive the service/graduate cause most people don’t go back in to rate what their experience actually was. Only what the student experience folks leave you believing you’re going to get which is a super shady practice. Unless you’re a computer science grad or mathematically inclined the chances of you getting a job or slim.- Scott SwigerQuality Engineer • Student • Full Stack Flex - Part-Time • Chapel HillVerified by LinkedInJun 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great informative course
I enrolled in this course as a supplement to my Computer Science degree in order to learn relevant industry tools that were not taught during my coursework. Albeit fast paced, this course is loaded with relevant industry skills and resources to either jumpstart or boost your career as a Software Engineer! - Alex AmadeoGraduate • Product Management - Part-Time • Chapel HillVerified by LinkedInMar 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great choice, above expectations
Had a wonderful experience participating in the UNC Chapel Bootcamp for Product Management. The course was well designed, and the pacing although rigorous was really well laid out that built through the material. Wonderful professors and TAs and support. Highly recommend to new and experienced PMs.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps

Hard Work, Big Rewards
This is a challenging yet rewarding program. We started with the basics so you were able to see the return on your time investment right away. While some weeks are harder than others, there is a great opportunity for growth, development and pride in knowing you are now doing something you couldn't do just a few weeks ago. I put in 15-18 hours a week with class time, prep time and project work, which pretty much turns it into a part-time job.

Full-Stack Web Development
This course was incredibly well-ran. We covered every technology to make us competitive in the job market, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, APIs, React, MERN, MySQL, MongoDB, and quite a few more. The instructors were largely graduates of the bootcamp who are working in the field.

On top of teaching the curriculum, they would discuss getting a job after, what their day-to-day was like, timelines in regards to getting a job, and salary expectations, while providing their personal experience in the subjects. By the end of the course, I accepted a job that was double what I was making. I can't say that the bootcamp was directly responsible, considering my previous work experience was related but, the bootcamp definitely helped and opened opportunities for me within the new position.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps

Totally Worth It!
The UNC-CH Full Stack Flex Bootcamp was a challenge but it has changed my life. I entered the course with little-to-no knowledge of HTML & CSS and left the course with a wealth of knowledge in everything from how to manage Github branches with a team to full stack React applications. It will be challenging and it will take a lot of personal time to digest the course material and make the concepts make sense to you.

It will be challenging and it will take a lot of personal time to digest the course material and make the concepts make sense to you. I personally had to spend 15-20 hours a week outside of the course to fully feel like I had grasped the concepts so make sure you're able to do so depending on your level of comfort with learning new things at a blistering pace. That being said, the level of support from instructors, TA's and tutors along the way were what made this course feel like I had made the right choice when things got difficult. The staff was nothing short of patient, kind and caring from when we were learning how to center div's in the early weeks to when we were connecting server and client sides of an application and troubleshooting deployments at the end of the course.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps

Great Start
I had very limited coding experience coming into the class but I came out of it with skills that I am eager to use and improve upon. It's actually crazy to me how much I learned in such a short amount of time. Of course this is felt during the class where it never seems to slow down but I was ok with that since it definitely respected the value of my time.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps

If you're planning to change your career, this bootcamp is a great place to start. One of the thing I would like to mention here is, you need to be consistent, you will have to give your 100% as its a bootcamp and it is a fast paced course I am glad I chose this one because the other courses are 14 week and this one is 24 week (part-time) that give to you time to breathe. My instructor and TAs always made sure that my doubts were clarified and that they assisted me with any question I had. They also assigned a tutor to me for the duration of my bootcamp experience, and I received one session per week, which was a huge help outside of class. They also have a BCS (bootCampSpot) support team that can be reached on live chat as many times as you need help. I conducted some research and discovered that this bootcamp provides a wide range of curriculum, which is something that not many bootcamps do. I enjoyed working on solo and team projects. If you're planning to go for a bootcamp, GO FOR IT!!!! It will be stressful, you might get irritated, there's a lot you will go through as far as reading, understanding new concepts that you've never heard of, homework due dates, being active with class activities, getting Employer ready and employer competitive. There will be times you would not see your friends and family for weeks, because you're trying your best to accomplish your goals. Don't give up, keep going because it is WORTH IT !! Take advantage of the resources they provide, be consistent, don't give up, be happy and proud of yourself because you will complete this milestone in your life soon and practice practice practice.
Thanks to my instructional team and TA's Alper, Joshua and Carl for the help and my Tutor Samuel.

I would say the most rewarding aspect of the course was my overall change in mentality and outlook to creatively marketing any product. I now can confidently execute a marketing plan with ease and be able to track the results after setting up all the necessary checkpoints along the way. We covered SEO, paid search, Google analytics, website design, and retargeting strategies just to name a few of the helpful topics. After the course was over I earned a job placement in my favorite city and have a group of fellow classmates and instructors that I bounce ideas off of for the rest of my life. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to get into the digital marketing/content creation space.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps

The instructors are knowledgeable, the TA's are incredibly generous with their time, and you have an hour of tutoring each week.

All that said, it is a big time commitment to really study, comprehend and put all of this to memory. If you have a busy schedule already I strongly recommend balancing it BEFORE starting the course. Once you start, the curriculum does not stop and you will fall behind if you're not completely dedicated. All that said - my experience was great, albeit challenging. I'm walking out of the course with a new job as a technical account manager with a fully remote tech company that just got their series b funding. I would not have been qualified for the job without taking this course (HTML, CSS, Javascript and knowing how to pass data from client side to backend was a must). Again... difficult... but doable and worth it if you have the time/bandwidth to commit.Boot Camp Team of UNC-Chapel Hill Boot Camps
