I participated in one course, Sales Tech, the course was only 4 weeks long, but when you have no sales experience time matters, trying to work a full time job, looking for a better position and school as well as the price was a bit much for me at this time. I decided to withdraw due to scheduling issues.

It was an empowering experience in terms of confidence building and becoming more aware of terminology + how sales roles can be structured. But, virtually all of my peers that I have worked with SDR/BDR didn't go through a boot camp experience and either had recently finished post-secondary or had compatible (non-sales) experience. It seems that the companies I've worked with are willing to train from the foundation without requiring a boot camp experience. On the flip side being a part of the network was helpful in finding opportunities but it may not be worth the tuition fee in my perspective.

I did learn a lot from my course with Uvaro and some of the tips and advice they gave were very helpful. I have yet to see if it is helpful enough to justify the money spent on the course but I am optimistic. A lot of the course was "guest speakers" (50% of which just being old Uvaro grads) which was nice the first 5 or 6 times but after spending 1 hour or so each time hearing the life story of these guests before they start giving some mildly helpful advice that could've been summarized in a Youtube video you start remembering how much it is costing you to be sitting there listening to them talk. Breakout Rooms kind of feel like a cop-out for the instructors to take a 15-30 minute break while we "practice" - typically with fairly unclear instructions. They would feel more beneficial with some preparation/structure. Some of the instructors are quite obviously new and untrained and, although they are mixed in with some excellent and informative ones, when you are paying for fully trained and experienced instructors, that is what you expect and should be receiving all the time instead of half of the time. Otherwise, you end up feeling like you are the ones training the instructors or you are guinea pig students for them to test and learn with. That being said, questions were always answered excellently (though I do worry if the same useful information is being relayed to classes who don't happen to ask those specific questions). Interview practices would be a nice addition as well as some demos from the instructors to get an idea of how things should go but I do believe these are accessible through the workshops Uvaro provides with the course if you sign up for them yourself Job seeking guidance was great in regards to vetting your future workplace, knowing your value and finding a culture that fits your needs. The beginning of the class felt a lot more informative than the latter half though I did manage to find value in both. The minimal assignments given would benefit from some further explanation and multiple attempts at the same task would help be a visual indicator of progress for both students and teachers. I would definitely still recommend this course- though most people who would benefit most from it cannot afford it and those who can may find the information less useful as they typically have experience in most things discussed. There is an alternate payment plan available though which I should mention which has admirable terms. If you are nervous about starting a new career/doing a big shift into the tech industry, this will for sure boost your confidence and make you feel more prepared. I can see Uvaro courses being absolutely amazing with some of these changes put in place but for now, it is a good course.
