Lighthouse Labs

I attended Lighthouse Labs in winter 2021 and had an overall positive experience. My cohort was super fantastic and even though we were online, I was able to to make some friends that I still connect with today. The instructors were very knowledgable and I felt that even though it was very fast paced learning, I was always supported when I needed help by the instructors and mentors. It definitely is as advertised where you are working 12 hour days at least 6/7 days a week trying to digest and learn as much material as possible but the hard work is worth it. This bootcamp allowed me to make my career pivot into tech and I will be forever grateful for LHL for that. I had signed up for the career services help within my bootcamp but I didn't find it overly useful/helpful for my personal job search. I feel that could be improved for future cohorts. I ended up finding my current role through my own search vs the help of LHL. Regardless, I think LHL did a great job of preparing me for my first junior role.

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.
