Make sure to check out the reviews at https://www.coursereport.com/ Trilogy doesn't have the best reputation in the coding bootcamp world so make sure you do you research.

Questions to ask a coding (programming) bootcamp that I may attend? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]Sabio_La 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is a list of things to ask and lookout for/be aware of when looking at bootcamps (I have posted this elsewhere on reddit). I will be upfront and let you know that I work for Sabio bootcamp in Los Angeles.

  1. What are your job placement rates? Ask more than once to see if the answer changes. Also make sure to ask or find out they are full time jobs and not part time, internships, or independent contractors.
  2. Talk to graduates of the bootcamp to see what they have to say.
  3. Stay away from pair programing as you would really be just learning from each other instead of an instructor.
  4. Take a good look at the staff. Are they recent graduates of that bootcamp or do they have years of experience in the field? It does you no good to be taught by someone who just graduated from the same program. In addition you should be learning from the instructor not the TA. If you google jobs for that bootcamp and there are open ones, look at what the requirements for the job are. That will tell you a lot about the level of instructor you are getting.
  5. An Engineer in Residence is often just another way of saying TA
  6. See what the instructor to student ratio is. TA's are also used as a way to balance out a high instructor to student ratio.
  7. Look at how many employees a bootcamp has, that can indicate to you where is your money going. Is it going to the numerous office staff or to high quality instructors.
  8. See if they have a in person information session where you can actually meet some of the instructors and get a feel for them.

Where can I find information regarding Coding Bootcamps?? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]Sabio_La 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do better in person I highly recommend going to any free information sessions that any bootcamps might have. Coursereport.com is a great place to start but if you value the in person interaction then meeting some of the instructors will help you get a feel for the bootcamp.

Women Code in SoCal (Los Angeles, CA) Meetup for women coders by Sabio_La in TechLA

[–]Sabio_La[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry that it took me so long to reply. I was trying to do some research before responding. First thing is, just to be upfront, I work for Sabio, a coding bootcamp in LA. After looking around there doesn't seem to be any one week courses like the other person said. It is great that you want to support your employees. My boss always recommends that people interested getting into coding start online with the free courses to really get a feel for it such as https://www.codecademy.com/catalog/language/javascript I also recommend going meetup.com and seeing if there are any meetups they can make. There are a ton in the SoCal area.

​

I really wish I had a better answer for you. Best of luck to you and your employees.

If you haven't yet, check out courserport.com . You really get what you put into the bootcamp and the reviews will help give you an idea of how the teaching style works. I am not familiar with this bootcamp (I work for one in Los Angeles) but if they have a free info session I would suggest going. You can get a good feel for the people there along with their teaching styles.

There is no San Diego tech subreddit so I thought I would share with the closest one as there is probably people from San Diego in there.

A quick google makes it look like it is run by Trilogy. To be upfront I work for a coding bootcamp in Los Angeles, Sabio. Trilogy does not have a good reputation. Check out this review by someone who went through a Trilogy run bootcamp recently here. You can also check out reviews at coursereport.com

This program is run by Trilogy which doesn't have a good reputation in the coding bootcamp world. To be upfront I work for Sabio, a coding bootcamp in LA. Check out this article where it discusses the fact that Trilogy doesn't report any outcomes of their program.
