I bought the online version of Profit with JavaScript, but I regret buying it. I have been following Qazi on his YouTube channel for the longest time, and his videos are amazing so I went ahead and bought the online program. Unfortunately, all the materials he had in there was already available online for free. I tried getting my refund back but I couldn’t. So folks, everything in the course is already out there online if you search properly.

I started in the March Cohort. It was the second cohort ever so I expected some road bumps but it was a disaster. I only paid 7.5k since it was an earlier one and it was a complete waste of money. If I had paid ~20k like they're charging now I would have sued them. For most of the teachers in our cohort, this was their first dev job. They have barely any experience. My teacher that we got dumped on in late April was always saying how he's tired from working all day and how he's out of it. Are you kidding me? we spent a lot of money and we get these half-ass teachers. I complained and got moved to a later BootCamp so I could learn with a better teacher and they did so there's that but since I had been teaching myself on youtube (because that was better than the 7.5k BootCamp I paid for) I just gave up and continued to learn on my own. I ended up getting a job based on the stuff I taught myself. They constantly harassed me after I ignored all their requests for a review since "they got me a job". So here it is, your review. Please stop calling and texting me all the time. The students who got jobs from the Boot Camp were basically experts when they joined. Most of the students from my cohort who actually finished are still trying to find jobs. Do yourself a favor and stay away. I have no one to blame but myself. I joined profit with javascript and that class was a joke and then I signed up for the BootCamp thinking it would be different. I made a good friend out of the Boot Camp. That is the only positive besides their willingness to let me switch cohorts. Don't buy anything on this site unless you love lighting money on fire.

within 48hrs of checking out their slack channel, I was convinced that their lack of support, unanswered student questions, canceled zoom meetings, and low activity was not worth the price, there's a lot more active more communities on Discord, Twitter, etc, I emailed for a refund, and both Melanie from support and Qazi emailed me back trying to make me continue with the program, ignoring my refund request, Melanie later informed me she'd forward my request and I haven't heard from her since even though she's still posting on slack, but as far as learning JS and React, you can learn those two more affordably via Udemy and Youtube, and by building projects using concepts you learned so the material sticks, I truly regret ever doing business with this guy.

I am disappointment and the unfulfilled structure of this bootcamp. I was given an overview of the materials and concepts of what would be taught and since then there has been no structure. We learn a few topics then jump back and forth between concepts. Since I have started there has no been no follow up on homework or any projects we have done. All of the homework they are giving us as students are FREE ! The teachers are a hit or miss. They either show up or not, and if the teachers are not able to attend class there is a fill in sub that teaches us nothing! There have been times where the teachers have forgotten they have to teach class and showed up 30 or more minutes late. We are constantly having new teachers. The lack of communication is beyond me. When having a question or wanting to talk to the teachers on the side they take a week or more to respond. I don’t feel like the money I am paying is worth it. I am highly dissatisfied. I’ve tried talking to the bootcamp to see if they are willing to meet me half-way but they have refused to help and refund me money. I was not the only student that felt this way so we spoke to the CP team regarding all of the issues and wrote a petition because again this was not what was promised and failed to deliver for the services I thought I would be paying for. Qazi won’t refund the 12+ students that are unhappy Yet they have live event tours and charge for this Bootcamp (15/21K) depending who you ask ?! It Varys I asked People are now having to pay for this with nothing in return because he doesn’t want to. there was no resolution on trying to get a refund. He simply will not do it because he doesn’t want to lose money

Clever Programmer is a Hype Machine that makes promises, but can't deliver on them. The program is unorganized, unprofessional, under-delivered, and unstructured. 1. Disorganized with curriculum (nothing cohesive or transparent) 2. Lack of homework guidance, providing original homework, and no feedback on homework. 3. Lack of accountability by coaches. 4. Lack of communication between all employees. 5. Lack of standard pricing and price ranges from $5K to $22K. Need clearer pricing for all students. 6. Unprofessional because they cancelled a week of class because of their marketing event. There were no preparations to continue class because they needed our instructor, Naz. 7. Lack of consideration for all students. I got out of my contract because of health reasons, but everything I stated above is true. I am thankful I got out of my contract and it only cost me $1100 and I was switched to PWJ. But there are 13 + of my classmates who are fighting for a refund and Qazi won't give them a refund and IT IS HIS choice to do so. He gave two of my classmates a refund that I know of, but no one else. Shady stuff seems to go on there with the lack of communication.

The worst possible 'instructors'.. when your 'teachers' are teenagers or less than 25 you should think about what your doing. Just think about that for a minute.

I was a student on this course and here is my experience and review: The coaching calls are overcrowded and you don’t really get to learn anything because to many people are trying to ask or answer questions at the same time whilst one of the Cp team members are covering an important topic and can't wait to the end for Q & A. The team has their notifications switched off on the slack channel so there is no way to reach them for feedback and the only way is during a coaching call which you can imagine everyone trying to get all their questions asked that they boiled up during the week, There should be various caching calls with less students on each call, I mean if they have nearly 2000 students in the course x the amount paid by each person then you should have enough capital to be able to have more coaching calls with less students instead of everyone cramming into a zoom call. There should be breaks in the coaching calls for Q & A and not interrupting the person that is presenting. (You end up losing focus). There are only in fact 2 coaching calls a week that are presented by the experienced CP team (Tuesdays and Thursdays). The other coaching calls are held by students who are only 5 or 6 months into the course who have no industry experience. I thought the success coaches would be either of the CP team members or people who are experienced. Their business model is built up on students helping students, I mean you can get the same slack community for less money, Andrei Neagoie's Zero To Mastery Academy or courses on Udemy also have a slack channel with an awesome community. I tried to do a 1 on 1 call with a success coach that the CP team provided for me, who I honestly thought worked for them and guess what... the guy didn’t pitch. I was really excited and woke up at 6am for the call which was scheduled for 6:30am, waited until after 7am and not even a courtesy email or message on slack that the guy couldn’t make it. When I reported this to the support team, nothing came of it nor was there any effort made from their side. I think that is where my motivation and excitement for the course ended. I did mention it in the feedback form that the coaching calls are over crowded but nothing came of it. I paid a lot of money for this course only to have the coaching calls and the course modules streamed to YouTube so don’t see the value that this course has to offer besides great marketing. Their course content is pre recorded videos and you can access their exercises for free on their GitHub account or watch their videos via their YouTube channel. Maybe you have had a better experience then me but that's just my experience and so I have decided to rather invest in a bootcamp. PS: I did get my money back, thank goodness. Is this course worth the money being spent, oh hell no!!!!
