Elbrus programming bootcamp - has anyone heard of it?

Question

JavaScript

I appeared in Moscow a couple of years ago
According to the description - immersion in web development, in particular Frontend
You enter on the basis of an exam - you must pass the basic syntax in js
The course lasts 11 weeks from Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 19 pm with breaks
Pair programming , three graduation projects - two team, one individual, something like that
Education is very expensive - it's a fact
They say that 98% of employment
But sometimes it's hard to find real reviews on the Internet, how would you know that this is not advertising
Who thinks?

Answer 1

Listening to feedback on courses from people who have not taken them (here on Habré) is not the best solution. To get real feedback, just write to 20-30 people who have completed these courses (from the VK group or their other community) and find out if they got a job and what they think about such training. Ideally, personally go to their office and talk with those who are studying there now.
If you have time, you can just try to learn there and if you don’t like it, take the money back completely (as indicated on their website, but be sure to check this option)
In any case, you need information from those who study or studied there, and not from random people from Habr.

Answer 2

Finished this bootcamp. And for my part, I will say that this load of 9 or more hours a day gives a big plus. You do not distract to extraneous fuss, and are only involved in this process. You should not go there completely zero and you need to initially prepare a little in html, css and js, and by the end you will be a full-fledged junior developer or even junior +, depending on your mood and the speed of absorbing information. After the end of the bootcamp, I found a job as a frontend developer within the first month, like most of my classmates.

Answer 3

As for the dropout, the person himself understands whether he succeeds or not during the first weeks, and the cost is returned to him. Another question is whether he wants to do this, seeing the success of his classmates, from my own experience I can say that no, and at that moment the main trump card of the course will open - this is the help and support of classmates and teachers who help to overcome a difficult stage, and in the end you reach the end for 10 weeks, powerfully pumped. I say this as a person who completed the course in the summer of that year and successfully works in a cool job and has already received a promotion to the middle. And yes, looking for a job together with classmates is also much more effective: you exchange interview experience, and it’s just more fun) Everyone from our group settled down. And yes, reviews on the Internet are not advertising, but our reviews)

Answer 4

Говорят, что 98% трудоустройства
This is nonsense by definition, because your employment does not depend directly on the quality of the courses. There are many factors, including your ability to basically program.
And I don't see how, for a beginner, 11 weeks of 9 hours a day can do any good. This should be done calmly, at home, with rest, not in a hurry, not depending on anyone.
Therefore, personally, in my opinion - this is not the best method and atmosphere for learning. And 98% of employment is definitely piz ... that is, not true for the reasons mentioned above.
I would take a cheap tuition from some udemy, where each course has reviews and ratings. Well, plus a forum. If you still want something more expensive, then I liked the html academy course

Answer 5

In my opinion, Elbrus' employment figures are slightly different, but that's not the point.
I trained at a bootcamp on the recommendation of a friend who, well, spoke too contagiously about his impressions of training, now I work at the front. I interviewed only two companies, received offers from both. In general, our small group of 10 people was fully employed in three weeks. It sounds a little unrealistic (it would be even more unrealistic if I voiced their salaries), but it’s true, just yesterday we were sitting with classmates in a bar, sharing our impressions of work.
One way or another, employment is 100% dependent on the candidate, in Elbrus, just after training, among other things, HR from the industry initiates you into the mysteries of finding a job in IT, which definitely contributes to good statistics.
As for the Elbrus school, I can recommend it - the training conditions are very close to "combat", the load during the training is close to prohibitive, but it pays off quickly =)
