This program completely changed my trajectory. The mentor sessions made the difference β I could actually ask βdumbβ questions and get real answers instead of just watching pre-recorded videos.
Genuinely one of the best structured courses I've taken. The projects felt like real work, not busywork, and that showed up well on my portfolio during interviews.
Solid curriculum and a mentor who actually cared about my progress. Docked one star only because a couple of modules felt a bit rushed toward the end.
