V School

Web Dev Review • VSchool does not actually offer or operate a "Responsive, Mastery Based Learning" approach for it's students as advertised! The led was nice a person but their focus is pushing you through the program at a speed they projected on you,... Read More following a same curriculum as everyone else, so it was not a response, mastery based learning approach as they marketed. This was hard for me because I was completely new to tech and would have to spend more time something vs other things, and now having "completed" the program I realize the reason I signed up for VSchool vs. competitors was their response, mastery based learning approach. They need to change their marketing! - https://vschool.io/responsive-learning/ • Here are quotes from their website, that are NOT true. You are expected to main a specific speed and basically being pushed through! https://vschool.io/responsive-learning/ - "Responsive lessons are designed around your past experiences and what you need to accept a job in the tech industry." - "Students move through the program by demonstrating knowledge and skill, not by completing a certain number of hours in a classroom. Take additional time on difficult content, so you graduate job-ready with skills you'll actually use." - "Each student learns in their own way, so responsive, customized education is necessary for success. The responsive model is developed around your past experiences, current learning needs, and schedule. This way, you can learn more and reskill without giving up your life." • Most, if not all of the teachers and leads I interacted with NEVER held a job at tech company, they completed VSchool Web Dev program and then began working their. Into the program this was an issue for me because I was hoping to learn from industry people (again as marketed), and from people who actually went through and passed tech interviews at tech companies, not having someone who's never lived any of this teach me??? • As feedback, I think the team needs to remember students are paying for this program, so be careful with your language and how you speak to them, a little bit of professionalism and respect, empathy for your customers (the students) would go a long way.

It was a mediocre experience. Would never recommend to anyone. They didn’t care about anyone’s learning style, nor did they take time to clarify certain aspects of the coding process. Regret even signing up. The teachers were unprofessional, and they... Read More look away my housing after the pandemic.

I graduated V School in 2018 and as I reflect back to my experience I'm overwhelmed with gratitude.

My time at VSchool was fun and very educational, but the experience isn't enough for most graduates to land a job in web development. Every employee was working very hard and they did an amazing job at solving students' needs, every teacher stayed after... Read More and put in extra effort to help you understand the course content. Here are some pros: Mo made a great community/invited guest speakers, the school is in a decent location, and housing is provided, you can rent computer equipment, and the buildings are clean. I definitely felt they replicated a modern tech company environment and I was happy to be coding everyday with other people who shared the same passion as me. Although I was very disappointed in knowing every instructor had been a Vschool student, I was generally happy with the school. I became more disappointed when after 6 months of completing the course I couldn’t get past the first round of interviews for any job, and I'd only be considered for Jr. positions or less (internships/apprenticeships). Honestly, I was expecting more opportunities - especially since I moved to a big city. After a year I interviewed with 2 unpaid internships, 3 paid apprenticeships, and 1 Jr. role - 6 positions in total within 12 months. With VSchool's best intentions most graduates should expect to be working a non-tech related job for at least a year after completing the course, and be continually improving their skills by looking for internships and studying free online courses until they're employable, especially if they don't have a background in tech. Do not expect job offers for at least three months after graduation, even if you’re working diligently.

Graduated from this coding bootcamp in January and got a job offer after a month, which was such a crazy achievement for me and I couldn't be more grateful to this school for helping me achieved that.

The shcool has a top-notch curriculum and they constantly... Read More update their contents to catch up with today's technology.The instructors demonstrated their expertise in the field of technology, and are willing to go the extra mile as to work on the weekends just to help students catch up with their assignments and doesn't hesitate to refresh when a student does not grasp certain concepts and methodology (shout out to Nate, Marcus and Ben - thank you for being patient with me throughout my coding journey)

I truly appreciate the time that I had spent here and without it I wouldn't be where I am today. My best 2 cents for you is to invest in yourself as well as your career since it is never considered as a bad investment.

The product this company brings to Utah is absolutely top notch. The mindful teachers and other cooperative faculty work hard every day to provide an excellent learning experience. The skills I have learned here about Website Development surpass anything... Read More I could have learned at a traditional 4-year University. Choosing this school may have been the best decision I have ever made to seriously change my career path. I feel well set up for my career as a Web Dev.
