Best Centers To Learn Programming In Indianapolis Near Me

Sarah Wright: I was really excited to get started with the web development course in 2021 and heard amazing things from many friends that went through the program. Unfortunately, it was disorganized from the start. I got a text the day before the class was set to start saying that it wouldn't start for 2 more weeks. I really enjoyed the first few introductory weeks of the course. Then, a few weeks into after the initial tuition agreement had been signed, we were informed there would be no web development course and we had to do software development or cybersecurity or drop out. We later found out that most of the staff had been laid off, including my admissions advisor. We also found out that career services, that was a huge selling point for me and other students, did not exist anymore.I decided to stick with the software development course. Many of us were expecting to get a lot of JavaScript experience, but we were then told it would be all C#.The Canvas course was not setup at all when we started, and I felt that we paid thousands for no instruction and tasks to figure out on our own. I understand that independent problem-solving is very important in this field, but we wasted so much time trying to figure out the basics on our own and were given busy-work tasks to fill up our time. When I voiced my concerns to student success, they were all dismissed. I felt like I had been scammed, having put my previous career on hold, and ended up dropping the course.Overall, I had a very unpleasant experience here. The instructors were kind and helpful, but this company is predatory.

Martin Flaherty: Great instructors, friendly staff, and a good mission statement.

Jason Line: I came to EFA with absolutely no tech experience whatsoever and now I'm in a Software Engineering role (loving my job and making great money doing it); all because of what I learned at the school. It works and the curriculum is based around the skills employers actually need.I had never even thought about going into tech (I thought it was mostly for super smart young people), but a co-worker of mine recommended EFA to me. I attended a free course and absolutely fell in love with coding. And thus, I was on my path to a new career.The instructors were great! You can tell they really have a passion for teaching, because, well...with their skills they could certainly make more money somewhere else. So it's nice to know that they really do have your back and best interest at heart.Career Services - I think the negative reviews about CS are mostly due to mismanaged expectations. The biggest benefits of CS is resume writing (they helped me greatly) and getting your resume in front of employers, if the opportunity arises. They also do interview prep, but I never used that service. And I think that is about it. Don't expect to get placed in a job via CS. They can help, but ultimately it's your career, it's up to you to do the work. Having said that, if you've never worked in Tech, you will probably submit a lot of resumes, get a ton of rejection emails, have interviews and then get ghosted, it's just how it is. Breaking into tech is not easy, but if you put in the work and stay the course, you will eventually get there. Network! Network! Network!All in all, I loved my time at Eleven Fifty and I am forever grateful for the skills and training they provided me. I felt like there were some unfair negative reviews; which prompted me to write this...not for them, but for potential future students. Their programs work and I can attest to that, but you still have to have the fortitude and determination to make it work. At the end of the day, it's your career, you get out what you put in it.I hope this helps someone.Only 4 stars, because never give a perfect score. "One bite. Everyone knows the rules" :)

Miguel C: The learning experience was great. That’s all. I unfortunately did not get to pass the course, but that’s not my issue. My issue is that the academy COMPLETELY ghosted me after the classes were over. I’ve been trying for weeks to talk to someone to get a letter stating I was enrolled, but no one ever picks up their phone, returns calls, and not even a slight hint of direction or assistance is given.DO NOT ENROLL HERE. They will take your money, set you up with a cool instructor, and your experience will slowly go downhill from there. My instructor for the first half of the course was luckily pretty awesome; but after him…yeah, no. No thanks. Please, if you (the reader) take reviews seriously: go elsewhere.

Aaron Van Curen: I am writing this review as an EFA Alumni and prior EFA Learning Assistant. Personally, I had a decent experience with the course itself. I had a wonderful Instructor and a great Instructor Trainee. The content offered a good base knowledge. I will say the LAs in my course hardly helped me out but not to say the did not help others. After graduation, the career services was only slightly helpful. I had decent communication at first and my advisor did help create a great resume. However, career services seems to degrade in their communication and does not send any job opportunities after several weeks. I did eventually land a job after ten months but I cannot say EFA career services contributed in any regard to that. I did get a job with EFA as a learning assistant which was a great experience as far as helping students. I never had great communication with anyone within the company unless I was directly working with them which I understood to a point because a lot of people were part-time or had other jobs. Overall, the company, from my perspective, seemed to be unorganized when it came to scheduling and communication. That was my experience. The real issue for me did not occur until January 13th, 2022 when EFA decided restrict my access to my work email and all EFA resources without notice even though my contract was not expired until January 31st. Since then, the communication has gone to zero and they have been very difficult to work with because of the lack of communication. We were essentially ghosted.

Amanda Luedeke: RUN AWAY. The virtual bootcamp experience was a mess. Everything seemed to have been thrown together at the last minute. Now, two months out, we have received ZERO career support. The career person assigned to my husband completely ghosted him. What a joke. This company takes your money (or government money, if you qualify) and leaves you in the dust.

Coobjh: Joke Academy. The staff has poor communication. Instructors have entry-level experience. You better taking an online course instead of registering with them and get stuck with their grading and attending rules.

Ross Fisher: There seems to be massive communication issues between the staff and students. Need to get ahold of your instructor, your advisor, the director or student success for a critical issue affecting your ability to attend class?Good luck. It took a few days to get in touch with anyone even after leaving voicemails and sending several emails. Once they get you enrolled and get their pay, it’s very unlikely you will be able to get ahold of anyone if anything comes up, and then they’ll just remove you from Slack with no explanation. If you miss a day or two of the full time program, you might as well drop out as you are never going to catch up.Save your time and sanity, check out a self led coding platform for $10-20 a month.I also feel as if they should start students out in Python, JavaScript instead of C# to get the fundamentals down, instead of a language that is a dumpster fire with platform dependencies, builds and “Visual Studio”. .NET is 🤮Source: Self taught high school dropout working as a software engineer at six figures for a Fortune 50 company. I encouraged a friend of mine to attend and regret my decision.I’m going to get them setup on teamtreehouse and start them out with Git fundamentals, then onto Python before we go full stack JavaScript.

Paul Fesenmeier: The Eleven Fifty program succeeded in taking me where I was at the time (two online CS courses*, a working understanding of a few programming languages, and enjoying the work) and getting me to a place where I could confidently apply for jobs. The team project experience came up a lot in interviews. Three months after the program I landed a developer position at a great company, where I’m still using many of the skills I picked up here.*CS50 and MIT’s Introduction to Computer Science and Programming Using Python, both available for free on Edx.org

Jordan Shea: I recently attended a CSS/HTML bootcamp hosted by Eleven Fifty! To say I was impressed is an understatement. I was so excited by how it went, I scheduled a meeting with admissions almost immediately. The flexibility they're offering (esp given the pandemic) is perfect for those looking to expand their skill sets.

Aaron Floyd: I graduated from this program in December 2019. I would recommend attending EFA for many reasons! It doesn't matter if you do not how to code, THEY WILL TEACH YOU and bonus- everyone I encountered was very friendly, knowledgeable and eager to share!

Lexio: This school is a TOTAL SCAM AND I really feel sorry for myself and whoever's attending this school. On my very first day of school, there was zero Introduction to what we're supposed to be learning. The instructor just sat down on a chair and just started showing poor organized PowerPoint slides, he didn't even introduced himself as an instructor, came to find out as we were physically in class he was also on zoom with 60+ students. Right??! And this is not the worst part. the worst part was, even though we were in campus physically, students also have to be on zoom for the whole entire class watching everything that the instructor is doing right in front of them, there was about 10-15 questions left unanswered. I mean of course he would not get to every questions because there's way too many students online and in class. I mean in that case I think that everybody should've picked online classes. It was absolutely outrageous for me . Oh and guess what? After paying these enormous amount of money to get the certifications you're gonna be told to rely on GOOGLE and YOUTUBE for most of the time because and I quote "not everybody knows all the answers!" LOL These people do not know of what they're teaching. I would suggest that you look another place else. Do not go to this school just to waste your HARD EARNED MONEY. Make sure you do your research wisely, they will blow you away with their fake promises and their lies just to suck you dry they'll tell you everything you want to hear show you fake information you want to see. THEY SUCK AND TERRIBLE ( Especially for their Administrative advisors

Joel Sieferman: Great school with plenty of resources, for students to quickly earn their certifications on time.

flutegirl20111: MyComputerCareer Indy provides an awesome experience! From the front desk folks to the advisors and career services, they are excellent. Great program and such friendly people!

Brennan Barnes: I haven't even attended MCC and I am seriously doubtful I could even attend. I signed up to speak to a advisor and came down with Covid so i was unable to meet the zoom call with said advisor. Since that missed zoom call I have had more than one person from the campus call me between four to five times a day.....a day. It felt like a creditor was calling me, like my cars extended warranty needed to be spoken of. I mean what the heck is the reason to bombard someone's phone like that? If you're tasked with calling someone and they don't answer once don't call four more times that day. It's off putting and very stressful. Get yourselves together.

Chris Douglas: I went here when it was on the north side of Indy off of Purdue drive graduated twice from there. Once as an ITSA and then as an ITSS as an registered ethical hacker. I recommend anyone who love to work on or with computers or that wants to start on a new path to check them out they are amazing and if you put in the effort they will also and help you for life. I just want to say a huge thank you to MyComputerCareer for helping me get where I am today and helping me get what I needed to start my Computer repair and IT business.

Jack Stone: The program is certification based and get's to the point. I'm currently just passed midpoint and love the time I've spent with MyCC. You will be tested and rewarded. I would recommend this course to anyone. The staff makes you feel comfortable diving into the unknown and the admissions process is spot on. The guys and girls will get you into the program fast and seamlessly. If you are just starting out in I.T. or if you have a experience this is a great program for learning the basics of the field.

Julian Franklin: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueEveryone is amazing and truly cares about you succeeding and become a better version of yourself

Utah Kinsey: Positive:Communication,ProfessionalismMyCC went above and beyond in spite of the pandemic to help me obtain certs and knowledge. Their staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. Their career services department is something I wish was available to all schools.

Allen Hamilton: Critical:Value

The Orenders: MyCC of Indianapolis Campus has some great people who really care about your success. The Information Technology Security and Administration (ITSA) curriculum covers all of your basic needs and a few more. There is a lot of certifications (9) to cover in a short amount of time and it is fast and furious. One course right after the other. Whether your able to come to campus or online, day time or night time MyCC does have you covered. You are able to take a certification exam up to twice during the course work within 2 weeks of completing a course. The hard part is you are also working on the next course! So study during the weeks you are in classThe only short falls about MyCC is the cost. I truly wish they had an al la carte option because some courses are outdated due to CompTia NOT updating the tests within the 3 years.If you are a veteran and have the Post 9/11 then you are eligible for housing (amount depends on whether you are on/off campus). Also, as a veteran that choose to do on campus, you also had to study on campus during MyCC hours due to VA requirements. The big advantage to this is that you could ask either the flex instructor or a teacher that is on campus (if they are NOT giving a class). The big disadvantage is that I also worked during the day, so I was limited by my work hours and closing of MyCC campus at night which was around 2220 (10:20PM) (M-TH) and 1600 (4PM) Friday (times may change so ask).Overall, the experience wasn't bad and you could leave MyCC with between 0 to 9 certifications (that number is determined by you). Look at the time it will take you to complete the courses, if you work, if you have a family, if you have other obligations, then your time for study will be reduced. On the other hand, ensure you understand the obligations you currently have and schedule time for it DAILY. Whether you are studying through videos, reviewing questions, going to class it is completely doable. Let the people around you know what your intentions are and you will see that they will root for you. It is a lot of hours to cover, but will be well worth in the end.

Michael Jones: Having been both a student and an employee I can say that MyCC exceeded all of my expectations. As a student I found the course material was both easy to follow and understand. My Instructors all did amazing jobs at delivering the content of the courses and were both extremely helpful and caring about each and every student. As an employee upper management leaves something to be desired but on a Campus level I couldnt have asked for a better group of coworkers. Highly professional and loving towards each other as well as students and prospective students. 10/10 would attend more classes and seek future employment with them again

Brent Ralston: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueI enjoyed the positive environment that came from the campus, instructors and staff. Even when we went online the positive vibe was still alive just thru my TV. My experience will definitely change my life!

james isom: Positive:Communication,Professionalism,Quality,ValueWonderful school great to work with and they are awesome

tyler hutcheson: Attending MyCC has been an overall good experience. The Instructors have all been very knowledgeable and able to get the information across clearly. The transition from the campus to online classes were seamless, the career services department helps with resume building, interview prep. and appear to really try to place you in a job that you are suited for. I would recommend MyCC to anyone who is looking to get a job started in the IT field or looking to advance your current position IT

Todd Hudson: Small classes, excellent instructor 1:1 time and schedule flexibility. Dedicated computer lab time is quiet, our youngster shows improved focus and looks forward to going every week

TheAimHighBevGuy: Guided Technology Interaction, Jr Program. Camps, parents night out events.

Maddie G: My son has learned so much from Code Ninja. He has been able to apply what he has learned for school projects. He loves to show others what he can now do. He is convinced he is far ahead from classmates in school. He has created his own webpage and has used the newly acquired knowledge to improve anything computer related. I am very happy with CN.
