I will continue to gain knowledge in DevOps and Web Editing! - Neha SharmaGraduate • Data Science and Visualization - Part-Time • TorontoVerified by LinkedInFeb 20, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Embarking on the journey of the 12-week Full Stack coding bootcamp has undoubtedly been one of the most impactful decisions I've made in my life. From the moment I enrolled to the completion of the program, every step of the way was filled with invaluable learning experiences, challenges, and personal growth.
The structure and curriculum of the bootcamp were meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of both front-end and back-end development. Week by week, we delved into a diverse range of topics, from HTML and CSS to JavaScript frameworks, databases, and server-side programming languages. Each module built upon the previous one, reinforcing concepts and allowing us to gradually expand our skills.
One of the most remarkable aspects of the bootcamp was the hands-on approach to learning. Rather than passively absorbing information through lectures, we were encouraged to actively engage with the material through coding exercises, projects, and real-world simulations. This practical, project-based learning style not only deepened our understanding but also equipped us with the practical skills and confidence needed to tackle real-world coding challenges.
The support and mentorship provided by the instructors and teaching assistants were instrumental in my success throughout the bootcamp. Their expertise, guidance, and unwavering encouragement created a supportive learning environment where I felt empowered to push my boundaries and strive for excellence. Whether it was troubleshooting a bug in my code or seeking advice on career prospects, they were always available to offer assistance and guidance.
The bonds formed during late-night coding sessions and shared victories over challenging assignments created a sense of belonging and solidarity that extended beyond the classroom. We celebrated each other's successes, supported one another through setbacks, and shared in the collective joy of overcoming obstacles. These shared experiences forged friendships that will undoubtedly endure long after the bootcamp has ended.
In conclusion, the 12-week Full Stack coding bootcamp was not just a journey of technical skill acquisition but also a transformative experience that shaped me both personally and professionally. It instilled in me a sense of resilience, determination, and community that will continue to guide me on my journey as a software developer. For anyone considering enrolling in a coding bootcamp, I cannot recommend it highly enough. It may just be the best decision you ever make. - Sneha SridharanAccount Manager • Student • TorontoVerified by LinkedInDec 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Extremely engaging and educational
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. The rich knowledge shared by the instructor, Mark and TAs, Bertram & Ravina was unparalleled.

The whole experience, in the contrary was encouraging and absolutely helpful. The virtual classroom setup as conducive for a good knowledge share and communicative lessons.

While this gave me a strong foundation in technological principles, my exposure to reviewing fraud in social services ignited an interest in digital security. I recognized that in this digital age, safeguarding data and ensuring the integrity of systems is of paramount importance. This realization was accentuated by the increasing frequency of cyber-attacks and data breaches in the news.With a desire to pivot into cybersecurity, I began researching educational programs that would facilitate this transition. UofT SCS Cybersecurity Boot Camp stood out, not only due to its reputation but also because of its comprehensive curriculum that promised a blend of theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience.Experience with UofT SCS Cybersecurity Boot Camp:Stepping into the boot camp, I had minimal knowledge of cybersecurity. The contrast between then and now is staggering. Today, I can engage in detailed discussions about the latest cybersecurity threats, mitigation strategies, and the evolving landscape of the cyber world.A significant aspect of the boot camp that I value immensely is the support system. The teaching assistants and tutors ensured that I was never lost, guiding me through complex topics and challenges. Their expertise coupled with the curriculum's structure played a pivotal role in my rapid ascent in the realm of cybersecurity.The transformation has been profound. From being a novice, I now tutor students in the latter stages of their cybersecurity education. This not only speaks volumes about the efficacy of the boot camp but is also a testament to the personal growth and confidence I've garnered from this experience.Advice for Prospective Students:- Time Commitment: While the boot camp equips you with the tools and knowledge, it's imperative to supplement this with self-study. I dedicated 15-20 hours a week outside of the formal sessions to delve deeper into topics, practice, and review resources.
- Engage Actively: Actively participate in sessions, ask questions, and seek clarification. Engaging with peers can provide different perspectives, enhancing understanding.
- Practice Regularly: Cybersecurity is a field where theoretical knowledge needs to be complemented with practical application. Regularly practice what you learn, set up mock environments, and challenge yourself.

- Utilize Resources: The boot camp provides a plethora of resources. Make sure you review them, as they can provide valuable insights and deepen your understanding.

Life changing experience
I am hoping to make a career change and this was a stepping stone towards that change. It was a very intense endeavor and I gained both the theoretical as well as practical knowledge of cyber security. However, this knowledge and experience is not enough to sit for the Multiple Choice Questions format exam that is required to pass for the Security+ Examination.
I strongly believe that the course should incorporate the practical aspect of how to sit for this exam in the real world. ...I am hoping to make a career change and this was a stepping stone towards that change.

My personal journey into the field of Cybersecurity began with a mix of thrill and apprehension. I made the decision to transition from Financial Crimes Intelligence to Cybersecurity simply because I felt it was time for a new and different challenge. And what better way to embark on this new chapter than by joining one of the most reputable universities?
Like many others, I diligently researched and read reviews before enrolling, and I can confidently say that I have never been prouder of my decision. The enrollment process itself was remarkably smooth, and from the moment I spoke to the admission officer until graduation in August , 2023, my journey has been and will be celebrated and nurtured with unwavering support, valuable insights, and an incredibly conducive learning environment.
What truly amazed me was the sense of camaraderie among the students who were all on a similar path of career change. I never felt alone or isolated in this pursuit. We have a brilliant instructor with extensive industry experience, supportive Teaching Assistants, a dedicated Student Learning Success Manager, and weekly tutoring sessions. All these resources combined to create an atmosphere that made studying and progressing through the program remarkably comfortable.
To anyone who may be contemplating a career change and seeking certainty, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take the leap. It is undoubtedly a tough decision, but choosing UofT's Bootcamps will likely become one of your best decisions. While I personally vouch for the Cybersecurity program, there are numerous other options available that can significantly enhance your career prospects and knowledge as an alumnus of the University of Toronto.
