Thriving, diverse community; affordable, top-notch instruction

I attended Skillspire's Java and Cloud Computing program from January to May and loved it. Skillspire provided me with a good foundation in Java and AWS, and Farhad, my instructor, was awesome. He was supportive during the pandemic and worked with me to complete assignments. Skillspire is affordable, offers top-notch instruction, and advocates for women and marginalized populations in the tech industry. I highly recommend Skillspire.

Skillspire: great experience, positive energy, rewarding job

I really recommend Skillspire to everyone who wants to get great experience in web development and coding because the people who work here gave me not only knowledge but also a lot of good positive energy to move on. Thanks to Skillspire school, I got an interview and internship in a company where I was able to work with other developers on a really interesting project, and this job?

Skillspire: best staff, affordable price, valuable knowledge

I had the best experience at Skillspire. I didn't expect to gain a lot of knowledge with only twice a week classes. Yasmin the CEO was very informative and friendly when I went to her office to talk about registration. The instructor Nithin was very helpful and a text away when we need help with homework and went beyond and above to make sure we understand the lesson. After we completed the course Terri helped a lot from making resume to getting us interviews. Skillspire is the best place to go to if you are planning to become a full stack developer. Best staff and affordable price comparing to other coding boot camps.

Building a thriving, diverse community of learners

“Skillspire changed my life, and I’m grateful for the experience here. If it is something that you love, commit 100% to it. People say, don’t put all your eggs in one basket, but I’ll say, put all your eggs in one basket, and commit to it. If I can do it, you can do it too!”

Skillspire Alumna

I had a great experience with this data analytics training. The instructors were really supportive and took the time to explain things in a way that made sense to me. The course content was solid and well-structured, which helped me build a strong foundation in data analysis. The hands-on projects were especially useful in applying what I learned, and overall, the program really helped me improve my skills. It was an intensive program—I attended five days a week, and there was a significant amount of homework. Keeping up with the workload was important, but if you follow the instructors’ guidance closely, it’s definitely possible to achieve deep learning. One thing that really stood out to me was how kind and open-minded the instructors were. They constantly encouraged thought-provoking discussions and genuinely listened to everyone’s perspectives without judgment. This created a great learning environment where I felt comfortable. Although there are similar programs in Turkey, I find this one to be richer in content and more aligned with today’s market needs. The curriculum is well-designed and provides practical, up-to-date knowledge that feels highly relevant. I found the experience so valuable that I’m planning to join the next cohort to deepen my knowledge even further.

Skillspire was one of the most important steps I had to take till I landed my current full stack developer job. When I joined the school I knew a little bit of front-end languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) my goal was to add onto what I knew and become full stack developer eventually. The instructor, Farhad, was able to explain heavy code concepts to us in a simple way as well as showing us ways how to go about finding varies solutions for software issues.
