Lighthouse Labs

The web development program at Lighthouse Labs was a truly life changing experience for me. Echoing what others have said here, the staff feel like family and are always available to help you even after you've graduated. I had no previous programming experience but am now totally hooked on the world of coding! I landed a job about one month after graduation at a UX agency with really interesting clients from enterprise down to small startups and not-for-profits. I couldn't be happier. So much hard work went into getting that job, but I couldn't imagine it happening any other way. Thanks, LHL!

Lighthouse Labs has the best curriculum and mentorship of any bootcamp in Canada. The mentors I had were exceptional: Tim, Mikias, Zola and Will were attentive and motivated to see me and my classmates excel and land great jobs as full-stack developers -- which we all did! Truly, it felt like they were available 24/7/

The curriculum is also amazing and includes learning how to learn so that you can continue your education after graduating. Compared to other bootcamps, this is a full-stack experience. Friends at other bootcamps graduated into mostly front-end roles and seemed unprepared to work on backend technologies and frameworks.

Warning though: this is gonna be a lot of work. As CourseCompare's advisor recommended to me when I was considering bootcamps, start with some free online courses to see if you actually like/can do this for hours at a time. In the end, it was so, so worth it.

I started from scratch when I joined LHL and have since completely changed the trajectory of my career. By the time I graduated, I could write full-stack applications and have the tools and experience to learn pretty much anything on my own (with a little help from my mentors and new coding community!). This was honestly one of the greatest professional challenges of my life and I can't think of a better place to learn and grow.
