$5000 paid. No answers about refund besides the first few low value calls. No response. Run away from this guy.
By Yu W.
Back in February of 2023 I decided to join their bootcamp so I applied. The first step was to do a call and tell them why I wanted to join, the call was normal until they ask me how much money I had saved on my bank account. That's when they told me that it will cost me $2,000 (huge red flag) so I paid without thinking too much about it. 1 week later they told me that it was going to be a 6 month bootcamp. After the first 2 weeks of the bootcamp all the teachers stop answering and thats all I ever heard from them. I email them and nothing to this day (April 2024). Don't expend any money for any of their classes is a waste I would sue then but I rather use my money somewhere else.

I have joined in 2020 worst decision in my entire life. Course is not worth. even if they give you for free. there are much better courses out there. I just fall for his commercial ad. I still regret it.

It's a glorified YouTube playlist locked behind a paywall and he made millions by convincing people that his courses are better than anyone else's by making people trust him from watching his YouTube videos. If you are a masochist and like to watch boring dragged-out videos that are less organized than they are on YouTube, go support his financial dreams. I did a review on an actual educational company on my profile, go check that it out if you want to learn.

DO NOT BUY THIS COURSE, I BEGUE YOU! Guys, there is TONS of FREE courses on internet, TONS! Just as there are plenty of people whiling to help you for free too! Just take a look on bad comments, people complaining about "no help", "chaotic course", "already available for free" or "no refund"! You really want to pay for a course? Ok no problem, go for: - codecademy - wesbos.com - codewithmosh.com And so on way more cheaper than 500 bucks for ONLY JAVASCRIPT! Don't be tricked, those marketers just want your money! They stole me (yeah, I know it's mentioned, but I don't care) almost 300$, saying they can't refund me the first payment even if it's under 30 days guarantee! W-T-F You really want to be a CLEVER PROGRAMMER? Keep your money and just study on Youtube / Freecodecamp or even with the affordable courses I gave above!
