"Changed my life"

The ITC Bootcamp, as intensive as it was, allows any motivated person to obtain complete knowledge of coding and opens the doors to a whole new high-paying job market.

There is also an excellent mindset between all students, really friendly, we all helped each other a lot.

After ITC, I was able to build complete websites/webapps with all sorts of functionality, design features, and user interactivity. Now, I am not only confident in web development, but I also got offered a job that surpasses all my expectations.

If you are considering it, just do it. Don’t hesitate, you won’t regret it! It will change your outlook, understanding of web technology, coding and yourself.

"Leap of faith"

Being a student from last Coding Bootcamp’s cohort, I can write an honest review about the program. First of all, I’d like to state that I am a French new immigrant, 30yo, with past experience in marketing and sales, holding a Master Degree in International... Read More

I decided to take a leap of faith and start learning to code a few months ago and thanks to ITC’s coding Bootcamp I am now working as an software developer intern in one of the biggest cyber security firms in the world. ITC empowers it’s students with a 3months long program designed to turn people without coding knowledge into full stack developers. The administration team, the teacher and the teacher assistants are always available to answer your technical questions,and they use a large amount of ressources in order to accompany us into successfully find an internship, find a job, and even assist us with bureaucracy! I can’t recommend enough enrolling to ITC if you are motivated in learning how to code.

"ITC should send fellows and bootcampers directly to a project phase and internships, or stop entirely."

Do not be deceived. Demand a week by week *and* day by day curriculum ahead of time. Indeed, you should not have to ask.

Incoherent, wasteful, disorganized, poor learning experience supplemented by a surprising lack of respect for its pupils.

"Express lane to the dev world"

ITC was a turning point in my mostly tech career as I joined to simply learn the basics and "arm" myself with as much coding knowledge as possible. And although 6 months is not a very long time to cover all coding languages I did come out with a significant... Read More

The program is very much built like a startup, so for better and worse, there were definite ups and downs. But like any "good startup" the kinks and bugs should work themselves out over time and I'm sure with each passing cohort the program will only strengthen and get better! Overall, I personally and more importantly, professionally, got exactly where I was looking to go and I surely have ITC to thank for that.
