I had been with the company for almost 10 years and decided that it was time for a change. I took a chance and reinvented myself and pursued a new career path in web development.
The bootcamp was an intense 6 months of learning but at the same time went by really fast. The instructors were very knowledgeable and my classmates were easy to interact with even though it was all online. There were many times where I felt overwhelmed with the fast pace of learning but it was good to know that you could seek help from tutors, teaching assistants and office hours.
If you're considering enrolment into this program just be prepared to work hard and stay committed to your goal. If you lose focus and fall behind it can be a challenge to catch up. I recently graduated on November 24th and will be starting a new role as Node JS Developer within the upcoming week.
I started with no experience but applied myself to this bootcamp and can now say with confidence that I'm a Web Developer!Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

Life became less fun and I wanted to learn a completely new skill set that will potential leads to new career opportunities even business is not doing great where I am working at. It will give me more career options and light up my life as I have something to look forward to besides my daily work.
My experience / favorite aspect of the program:
I enjoy learning online materials and attending the zoom classes with full preparation (including completing class activities ahead of time). Since this is a online class and is different than in-person class with less peer interactions, doing class activities in breakout room would be my favorite time, as we finally get to connect with other classmates during class.
Any advice for other prospective students:
If you're interested, well, come in prepare - as in, attend every class with preparation or complete required course modules ahead of time, knowing directions or answers in resolving class activities. This course is intensive for people who can make time every week from their busy schedule to study and complete assignments (especially when you don't have a coding background). Course fee may not be as affordable, yet the experience and knowledge you'll take away with you for life is priceless.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

Let me start with some personal background.
I originally went to school for Accounting, I had acquired a career in the finance/accounting sector of a steadily growing company. I worked really hard with a lot of late nights and burn out without being able to move forward. I was eventually let go and decided to take this opportunity to re-evaluate my life and career goals.
After talking it through with friends/family, I decided to take the leap and see what would come of a total switch in career path.
First off, speaking with the admission advisors was exciting and they were immensely helpful.
Coming into the course I was still very nervous. But ever since the first day, the instructional staff have been so great and helpful with making sure we stay on track and offering help through all hours of the day/night if needed.
Even though the boot-camp is very fast-paced, and can have some late nights, the support/help is so great.
I'm very happy that I took this leap and I'm so excited to see where it will take me.

After the 6 month course, I am confident in my abilities to explain cybersecurity, networks, offensive and defensive techniques, and how to harden a network against incidents and breaches.

After the 6 month course, I am confident in my abilities to explain cybersecurity, networks, offensive and defensive techniques, and how to harden a network against incidents and breaches. The price might be steep for some people but this pushed me more to learn the material, keeping patient with troubleshooting and utilizing the career services that are provided for me during and even after graduation. For those that are looking for a career change and looking for a more tech related field but have no experience, this should help you in knowing that the conceptual knowledge is a lot bigger part that needs to be understood compared to the technical side. As long you use logic with the knowledge you have, you will be able to execute the technical side of it because it will always be there.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

In addition she demonstrates so much patience for all the students. In addition the TAs Farzad and Kabeer were just as knowledgable and patient. The course content is extremely thorough and very demanding. While this is called a Part Time program I feel it's not really that, more of a Full Time one. Anyone enrolled in the program and working full time and an graduate I have outmost respect for, but unfortunately that was not the case with some of the students that attended full time. Personally I was working part time, and even as that I found it a demanding course. At the same time I want to balance that by saying that I was exceptionally motivated to go 100% with the course, so I gave it my all, therefore I put in a lot more effort than the average student. Like everything in life, you get out what you put in. Also, taking this bootcamp during Covid gave me the emotional support to get through these difficult times. The course was optimized to be done virtually and succeeded well. In fact it prepped the students to collaborate virtually which is a necessity working remotely during and beyond Covid. In addition the Career Services part helped me get prepared for the job market. Overall, I highly recommend this bootcamp.Boot Camp Team of University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies Boot Camps

I am a happy alumnus who just finished the data Bootcamp from the University of Toronto (UofT). Before, talking about the Bootcamp, let me give a brief overview of myself.
I have worked in the Data Science field for about 2 years and knew python quite well. However, the full stack and databases and public cloud, etc were relatively new to me. The biggest challenge was I was a new immigrant to Canada who landed here just before COVID travel restrictions rolled out. Because of my lack of Canadian experience and partially because of COVID, none of the job applications seemed to reach employers. Quite accidentally, after searching a while on google, I ended up enrolled in this course and it was one of the best decisions in my life.
First of all, let me talk about the instructor - Ahmad, who is well versed in every topic, ensured all the students in the class were brought to speed (especially, those students lacking coding background). He also conducted extra classes to teach the industry level cloud technologies. All his efforts are shown at the end in terms of the improvement we all had. He is not only very knowledgeable but also a great instructor who ensured the success of all his students.
Instructional team Krutheeka and Dami helped us not only with the materials but also provided the best suggestions and advice on projects.
We had visiting-instructors too, Yahya and Piro, who also ensured high-quality teaching, delivery, and provided valuable guidance.
Our Student success manager Kyla ensured students succeed in each milestone. She reached out to me on multiple occasions to check with me if I am doing well and anything is required for the successful completion of the course.
Our Career Director Nathalie connected with me from time to time to provide me with valuable career advice and support
Without them, my journey would not have been complete.
Taking about the outcomes,
I have successfully made a competent GitHub profile and portfolio which helped to have a strong online presence.All my career materials were reviewed and stamped as employee competitive, that helped to reach recruiters effectively.And the best part is to land a job just before the completion of the course.
I am very happy about the course and the outcome and encourage anyone to take it up and give your 100%.
