Lighthouse Labs

Overall a wonderful experience. The curriculum can sometimes feel like it was assembled in a rush, although changes are often implemented on a cohort to cohort basis to keep the information relevant and possible to understand. The best part is definitely the mentor support. There are many friendly and knowledgable mentors that are always willing to help you understand the concept, how ever long it may take.

Quitting my job to start a career as a developer was extremely stressful, but I'm definitely glad I had the courage to do it! Studying at Lighthouse Labs in Toronto was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

The school's culture is great. It feels like school but there's so much more interaction and camaraderie between students and staff than you might be used to. Staff are super friendly, and career services do an amazing job of helping set up meetings for you and provide structure for any freelance gigs or projects they connect you with while you're looking for full-time employment. 3-4 months after graduation, everyone in my class who wanted to work as a developer had a great entry-level job as a coder, with opportunities for career growth within their companies. Course content is JavaScript heavy, which is what employers are after these days. Instructors are super knowledgeable.

Above all, I graduated from a real dev community that still supports me almost a year after graduation--staff and my peers included. I highly recommend Lighthouse Labs to any one seriously considering a career as a developer.
