Lighthouse Labs - reviews

I freaking loved my time at Lighthouse Labs! I did a computer systems diploma at Humber and worked in IT support before applying to a couple of different bootcamps. The instructors, the classmates, the companies that work with Lighthouse Labs -- they are all awesome! It's so MOTIVATING to look at people's laptops and see them working on their apps or startup ideas. It's crazy how involved the school and instructors are in your life while you are at LHL. I made great friends in my fellow coders and the ways we support each other after graduation has been invaluable. Now add in the mentors who check in with you and ask you questions and challenge you about your projects. They were intimidating at first, but you'll soon realize they are 100% on your side. They also know what jobs are out there. They did more than anyone to help me "get" where I wanted to go.Only con is that this won't be easy. I usually started at 9am and worked until 11pm on weekdays. I would sometimes log on on the weekends and hack away.In the end, I got a great junior web dev job at a startup in Toronto that does affiliate marketing. All of the students in my class that I would call "motivated" landed jobs within about 3-4 months.The difference between Lighthouse and college couldn't be bigger for me. I'm so glad I made this important life decision. I strongly recommend applying if you are in the same boat I was. Good luck to you!

This is a 6 week part time course, exposing you to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The instructors were helpful and previous boot camp graduates. Each session consisted of an hour instruction and 2 hours lab. You could learn what’s covered online, what you’re getting in completing this is the hands on support, and the value depends on the effort you put in. If any negatives would say the classroom facilities (small, door locks right at 6, sketchy at night)

Lighthouse Labs is all about community; a community of people who will push you to your limits while building you up into something better than you thought you could be. My bootcamp experience was second-to-none. I'm extremely grateful to the teachers, mentors and staff who helped me through my career transition. Totally unforgettable experience.

Almost a year later post bootcamp and I'm still working my first dev job as a junior dev. This bootcamp gave me the ability to learn quickly, ask the right questions, read technical documentation and have the working knowledge of the tech stack we use at my company. The instructors and mentors varied in teaching style and were diverse. The course itself was challenging but fun atmosphere

I loved everything about this program. The teachers and mentors where amazing at breaking concepts down and gave me the confidence to start my career as a developer.The course is definitely a challenge, but one I found exciting and even when I felt stuck there was always someone available to help out. The community around Lighthouse Labs has continued to be a motivating, empowering resource even five years out with their focus on continuing to support alumni education and development.​If your willing to put in the work Lighthouse Labs is 1000% worth it. decision
