I made great friends and connections in the program and learned some valuable programming skills. I was given the necessary data analyst/science skills to change my career in less than nine months, and I’m very happy with the new direction of my career.
SMU Data Science Boot Camp turned my dreams into goals, and goals into reality. A year and a half ago I never could have imagined that I would be starting a professional job in data, and tomorrow that’s actually happening. I’m overjoyed and so ready to begin my career.
In just three months Trilogy’s Full Stack Coding Boot Camp and its accompanying career development service helped me land my dream job in the software development industry after years of only receiving frustrating rejection letters. The program is very intense and relentlessly pushes each student, regardless of experience, through exposure to a [broad] range of information, expert instruction, and personal assistance. To be able to raise your hand in the classroom with a question or seek out personal code review while learning software is truly a special experience. Without a doubt, tremendous value has been created through this program. Best decision of my life? Best education money can buy? Maybe, and definitely an all-time game-changer for my money.
I wanted to get more involved in the tech space and saw a lot of opportunity there. I knew that I needed to develop some of the hard skills and ways of thinking valued in this space. The boot camp has restored a lot of confidence in myself and my ability to develop.
After staying home to raise kids for 20 years, the boot camp provided a fast track to bring my programming skills up to date. Although I didn’t seek employment as a full stack web developer, the boot camp confirmed my love of programming and boosted my confidence to return to work as an embedded real-time software engineer.
I’m very grateful for the experiences that I have had in this program. I have grown in confidence in who I am, have found great purpose and passion in the work that I will be doing, and have met people that I believe will be friends for a long time. The program is very blessed to have Norma and Netreia steering the ship. I know I made the right decision in the program that I chose, and I could not be happier with where I stand in my knowledge and skills.
I was laid off from my design job on June 1, 2017. I was looking around for what to do next, thinking of either web design or graphic design. I found the SMU Boot Camp online and liked that I could learn coding skills so I could use my design talents for the web. The impact has been great. Everything is on the web. And now I have the skills that employers need. I found a job less than four weeks after graduation.
I chose to attend the SMU Coding Boot Camp full-stack program to further develop my skills and also open up new avenues career-wise. My experience overall was very fulfilling and it has enabled me to land a great job.
