    Approved Real Estate Academy is awesome!! You have a choice of going to the class once a week in person or once a week through Zoom. You can do this class while working a full time job. Jim has over 30 years of experience and has been teaching the class for years. Therefore, we get to hear experiences that relates to the subject matter. In my opinion, that helps students retain information and there is a lot of information to learn. He is very honest and has a passion for teaching and for the people he teaches. He communicates very well with all of the students. Keeping everyone updated via email to help guide you step by step on how to get your real estate license. You can also call him on his cell phone or any team member if you should have any questions. If your thinking about it, go for it!!

    Elizabeth!!

    By profession, I am a Data Engineer and have made very good money in Stocks, based on what OTA has…read moretaught me so far. I am in the Futures class this week. I had zero knowledge before coming in. Not only the class gave me hands-on real life trading experience (with paper money of-course), it gave me a really good refresher and new insights into reading trends correctly and setting the entry and exits correctly. Day 4, was brutal and I was feeling lost and clueless... But on day 5, things suddenly fell in place. I learnt two valuable lessons, that I was missing in my understanding. This goes to show, that having the company of experts in any field multiplies our effectiveness. I have asked dozens of questions and gotten satisfactory answers. The instructors are not giving the fish but teaching us how to fish. I am truely grateful to have this available. The fee will pay itself many times over, if you are passionate and committed to learn, be challenged and mend your ways (the last one is esp. hard for me!). Thank you Jordan, Joohong, Seema and everyone else on the staff!

If Crypto is an interest to you or a space you're already invested in and are looking for knowledge this is a great course to take! Merlin was amazing, he was very open to all questions and took his time to really make sure the class was following and understanding the content. He showed the class many examples in real time and really helped me understand the digital asset world. Thank you Merlin for your time and patience!

    Btree Code Academy is a great place to learn coding…read more The curriculum focuses on solving problems rather than just lecturing, and is well designed to adapt to individual student's pace and levels. We were able to customize our learning topics based on our interest and progress. Combined with a small class setting, it feels like having private coding instructions. Our instructor Matthew is very knowledgeable and patient with our young learner. I appreciate the weekly reports about the progress and challenges our student made during each class. Through Matthew, our kiddo learned not just coding, but math concepts and advanced logic. His teaching focuses on exchanging thoughts and ideas with students instead of one-way lecturing. He is transparent, pragmatic, and well-versed in all the coding languages and the programing community that we feel comfortable seeking and relying on his advice regarding areas of opportunity, trending topics, certifications, competitions, or summer camps. The email communication with the school and the owner Daniel is always timely and effective. It's a small and friendly community with like-minded people. Price is reasonable. I highly recommend!

Communication has been excellent throughout, and it's clear they truly care about their students' learning and confidence. Highly recommend for students who want to build strong problem-solving and competitive programming skills.

    I'm really happy with my decision to attend LearningFuze. I'm based in Seattle and like many…read moreothers, I chose LearningFuze because it had consistently the best ratings across all boot camps. I was in the program from January to April 2020, so everyone was remote and I did not feel left out for being in a different state at all. Cody and Tim Davis were my main instructors and they were fantastic! Really kind and helpful, but at the same time, they provided realistic expectations as to what it's like to be a new developer. I thought the curriculum was well-curated and pretty easy to follow. After graduating, TJ and Cass were extremely supportive and always available, which was helpful for me in securing a job after the program. I read a review that mentioned racism towards Asian females - I just want to mention that in my personal experience, I did not feel any sort of racism towards me (and I am an Asian female). If you are a female, I highly encourage you to apply for a Women in Tech scholarship (if there is one available) because that can really bring down your tuition! One thing to keep in mind is that attending LearningFuze or (any other boot camp) does not guarantee that you will get a job after completion. I have seen many students graduate from the program and then lose motivation and stop coding permanently. The staff at LearningFuze can only do so much to help you and support you with your job search - you have to have the determination to continue practicing and be able to go through the interview process on your own. But if you are willing to take on the challenge of transitioning to a new career as a developer, LearningFuze is the best choice out there!

    Making the decision to attend LearningFuze was honestly one of the best decisions I've made in my…read morelife. After researching 10+ bootcamps and much deliberation, I decided to apply for LearningFuze. After passing the technical assessment, I was accepted into the program. Please keep in mind: you will only get back what you put into the program. You'll be pushed and stretched beyond your limits. Get used to being uncomfortable and feeling lost, because that's the only constant you'll have during the 14 weeks of this program. It's not going to be easy, and you may doubt yourself throughout the whole program, but trust the process. The instructors have your best interests at heart and really want you to succeed. Make sure to ask as many questions as possible, study your flash cards, and really take the time to understand your JavaScript fundamentals. LearningFuze also has a great alumni and employer network, and they really go out of their way to help you prepare to find employment after graduating. TL;DR - You only get as much as you put into the program. They have great instructors and career services. Also, make sure to do some self studying of HTML/CSS/JavaScript prior to the program, so it's easier to pick up the concepts.

That pricing makes the program completely out of reach for many middle-class families. At nearly $4,000 a month, especially in Orange County where families are already struggling just to cover rent and basic expenses, it feels pretty outrageous.

First impressions matter, especially for newcomers who are trying to learn.
