Ask HN: Anybody Here Gone Through UC Berkeley Coding Boot Camp?

2 pointsby jimbobobabout 8 years ago
I&#x27;m seriously considering joining this program.<p>Before doing so, however, I thought it would be wise to get feedback from previous cohorts. This has proven to be more of a challenge than expected, and the school told me they cannot provide any names due to privacy reasons. This seems like a red flag.<p>Has anyone here gone through this program? I&#x27;d appreciate any feedback and can offer a coffee if you would be willing to share!

Full Disclosure, I am a coding bootcamp Campus Director.<p>I can&#x27;t speak for the UC Berkeley program, but we do have another Trilogy Education Services program run through the University of Texas here in Houston. I believe the program (at least, the web dev one) is identical.<p>I&#x27;ve met with several students of these Trilogy courses and attended their first graduation event here. By all accounts, the program is solid. However, I would always recommend getting specific info on who would be teaching your cohort since that is the most important point to consider for any course.<p>I would suggest going on LinkedIn and doing a search for people who have done the course. Most of these people will also have public portfolios or repos that should include some contact info. Here are a bunch of them <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;results&#x2F;index&#x2F;?keywords=berkeley%20coding%20boot%20camp&amp;origin=AUTO_COMPLETE" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.linkedin.com&#x2F;search&#x2F;results&#x2F;index&#x2F;?keywords=berk...</a>
