Refer friends and acquaintances to the bootcamp If you loved it, why not allow others to share the same experience? Spread the knowledge, wealth and positive interactions you had at Grand Circus. Answer questions in online forums Quora and Hackernews are not just forums, but valuable resources for coders, programmers and bootcamp students. Did you have an amazing experience? Tell people to attend the same program! Talking about your experience with your bootcamp community is an easy way to let people know if your program is worth it. We suggest the following tips to give back after your bootcamp ends: Spread the Word If you are a bootcamp grad (or soon-to-be grad), your perspective can help “pay it forward” to the next cohort of students, and give your school helpful feedback as well. What do you wish you had seen or heard before entering a bootcamp? Think back to when you were trying to find the best program possible and write a review from that perspective. It can help students understand the big picture, from the beginning of your research through to your career in tech. Your on-the-ground perspective is unlike anyone else’s. Personal accounts are important because they take students beyond marketing materials or publicity, and provide valuable first-hand experience. While choice can be good, it can also make it difficult to find what is just right for you. “There are currently 120 in-person bootcamps and hundreds of part-time and online programs available worldwide,” based on SwitchUp’s research. To narrow down your choices, you may have looked to sites like SwitchUp, or Quora to read reviews of previous students or reached out to alumni online.īecause regulations for tech programs can vary, prospective students depend on the experiences and feedback of alumni to weed out the less satisfactory programs saturating the market.
With the amount of tech programs and bootcamps currently available in the market, choosing the right one can prove difficult.
