TESTIMONIALS
Alumni Reviews
The Astrolabs part-time Coding bootcamp is focused and current, teaching sought after skills around fullstack JavaScript. I never imagined that I’d be able to build a complete MERN stack application in 8 weeks, whilst still working full time. This bootcamp delivered beyond my expectations and cemented my desire to pursue web development.
Sajid Akhtar
Technology Director, Data Science Practice - Publicis Media MENA
For a beginner like me, the course was eye-opening and very interesting to learn. Instructors are helpful, knowledgeable, attentive to class needs and clear in explaining different types of codes and details. Very happy to be a part of this course and definitely need to keep learning.
Mustafa Aljuaidi
The environment was great. Instructors were super helpful and did everything in a timely manner, very flexible at all times. Everything I learned during this boot camp was very helpful to get me started on the process of learning web development and gave me just the right fundamentals and knowledge to move further and learn even more.
