Be aware - the good reviwes are to get free mentoring....
Don't let all the good reviews fool you.... it is widely told to students that if they give positive reviews on multiple platforms they will receive free hours for additional mentoring... essentially the reviews are paid reviews. Overall, it's a bootcamp. Expect to learn 2years worth of info in 9wks. Good info to know but it moves very fast leaving you with little time to really learn and retain the info. So in the end, students will need to post the good reviews to get more free time with a mentor to make sure they're ready for the real deal interviews. Is it worth the price??? Probably not bec they tell you to "google" alot if you need more help.. thats free. You may have team leads who aren't the most knowledgeable either bec team leads are just students they asked to lead in the next cohort, as if they have become experts after 9wks. Is it a good way to enter for non techies? Sure bec you learn new stuff. But be aware that if you are starting with no qa tech knowledge, it's going to be overwhelming and you'll have maybe a day or 2 to learn, practice & retain before you move into something bigger & more complex.... would I pick testpro over another bootcamp? Not sure bec I've only done this one based on that you should get a certificate in the end and they claimed to be more credible than others. If they had more organization, maybe pushed the bootcamp out a couple more was for the more complex info, this would be a lot better. Even their internship/practice course is super unorganized and that is where they tell you to "practice practice practice" to add experience to your resume.... but how when its not organized to make sense? Internship starts whenever it starts and they drop you into the middle of it, so the team is already advanced when youre just coming from the class and now youre weeks behind the rest of the internship team.... With tech laying off people right now and you learning so much info, you'd want to be very prepared and this may not give you everything to really land a job compared to some who has actual experience. To each its own but be aware that these good reviews aren't sharing everything bec "good reviews get you FREE mentoring" after the 1 free mentor session that comes with your enrollment
