Is it worth going to paid Soft Serve courses?

Question

IT education

In general, paid courses from Soft Serve are planned in my city, which, as I understand it, is a very rare occurrence compared to free ones. And what interested me: "For those wishing to continue their studies at SoftServe IT Academy" from this my question pops up. Is it possible to get into the company as an intern through paid courses?
Maybe someone took paid courses there? And in general I will be grateful for any information.
PS I'm sure I won't go for free judging by the competition ...

Answer 1

depends on the curriculum. My wife went to the BA course, it was very useful. The course is expensive, but sensible, at least due to networking.

Answer 2

Is it possible to get into the company as an intern through paid courses?

I think it's worth asking Soft Serve
In general, most of the courses are focused on the enikeyer, and they assume that you will not learn to program, but simply rewrite the code from the video lesson / or course in the classroom. Yes, you will get some visible result, in the form of a small project, 90% of the code of which was most likely rewritten almost to the dictation. And there will be a false feeling that you have learned something.
Look at the course program, most likely you will see the headings of the first 5 chapters of any book on this technology. On average, such a book costs ~ 2k rubles, is it worth overpaying for a course so that you can retell the book?
And here's another life hack - you have the Internet, where you can find a bunch of free material on any technology.
Even the guys who work at google posted a special manual on what a developer needs to know to get a job in google InterviewPreparationGuide.pdf
I never saw the point in any programming courses when there are much more effective and faster learning methods.

Answer 3

Not worth it. Courses are just entertainment.
If you want to learn, then learn for yourself. You can peek at the training plan, this will be enough to take the same course for free (on your own).
There may be an opportunity to get into the company, but the salaries are low.

Answer 4

There is an opportunity to get into the company as an intern, but not everyone will succeed. And such questions can be asked to the representative of the courses
