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.
