I spent 15 years in the professional world -- 8 at Goldman Sachs and 7 at Uber -- and throughout my career always wished I had a stronger technical foundation. When I had some time off, I decided to take the full-time Xccelerate Web App Development course. Lavine, the CEO, cared a lot about the students, personally reaching out to me when I was in my decision-making process and connecting multiple times throughout the 4 month course. I ended up loving the course. It gave me a great roadmap and framework for thinking about how to build apps myself. There were a few apps I had always wanted to build and now am well on my way.

I enjoyed learning in the data science and machine learning bootcamp. Within 4 months, all job-ready skills are taught and the guidance from instructors made it easier to catch up with the syllabus as a beginner. Worth it to join!

It is a major change of my life to join Xccelerate bootcamp! I was in the field of business and doing my start-up, once I realized coding will be the future and that's the point I joined Xccelerate. Xccelerate provided all rounded support from tutoring and gaming room. Studying in Xccelerate is one of my most enjoyable time in my life!

I am really happy that I could benefit from the team's extensive network of tech startups. I wanted to find a job that marries my interests in finance, data science, and software engineering. The team took my requirements seriously and sourced me numerous job opportunities.

A well planned out course that packs in 2 years of material into 4 months, so a lot of self-study and self-motivation is required. The material itself can only be mastered with practise which the course gives a lot of. The staff is competent in this field and can answer most questions. There is an entire team to help you with career planning, with services such as a CV touch up and interview training. I would highly recommend this course to anyone prepared to make a full-time commitment to the course. I look forward to my career prospects as a result.

The low student/teacher ratio gives the instructors to focus on each student, to know us, and cultivate each of us as an individual. Instructors are professional, caring and the curriculum is well organised. It walked us through both front and back-end development with business use cases study.

As a UX/UI design student at Xccelerate, I am provided with instructors who are super helpful and knowledgeable. Their course curriculum also aligns with current professional practices. Throughout my time here, I am encouraged to interact with staff and students from other disciplines (Web Development and Data Science). Everyone collaborates, which is why it feels like a community as much as it as a bootcamp. The course can get a little intense sometimes, but that’s how they prepare you for the real world, so just be prepared to devote yourself to the duration of the bootcamp.

I joined the course with no prior knowledge of design. It can be intense, but the instructors and teacher assistants are very helpful along the way. They provided us with lots of constructive feedback to polish our work, which is very valuable for us to take into consideration for any future projects. The course is very comprehensive, it provides students with all the learning materials they needed to become an all-rounded UX/UI designer after 4 months. Plus, I really enjoyed the opportunity to work with other students from Data Science and Web Development cohorts through the Hackathon. This gives me a better understanding of how different teams collaborate and work together on the same project in a real workplace. It was fun and practical!

This course gave me the experience of conquering setbacks and helped me to instil a strong growth mindset. Within a month of finishing the course, I started a web development agency with some other course mates and an experienced product manager. I'd recommend it to anyone who has a strong desire and aptitude to learn how to code.

Before Xccelerate I was the founder of a startup. I was doing a lot of machine learning and data science related freelance. Even before I was doing that I was working at a hedge fund in London. I came to Xccelerate because I had experience in the field but wanted to refine my knowledge.
