I had a normal amount of nervousness and anticipation but I was also diagnosed with strep throat the day before so the first few days were slower while I recovered from that. It was rewarding and exciting to participate in the class discussions and course content right away though &#8211; kept my spirits up for sure.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"lead-grid-container\">\n<div class=\"lead__card\">\n<div class=\"lead__image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"hide--mobile\" src=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/Dev-2.jpg\" alt=\"Icon\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"lead__content\">\n<p id=\"lead__heading\" class=\"heading--4\">Become a Web Developer in just 12 weeks!<\/p>\n<p class=\"lead__description\">BrainStation&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/course\/online\/remote-web-development-bootcamp?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=BlogPost&amp;utm_campaign=blogLead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Web Development Diploma Program<\/a> is a full-time, 12-week program that equips professionals with the skills and experience to start a new career in development.<\/p>\n<p id=\"lead__button--margin\"><a id=\"lead__button--hover\" class=\"lead__button\" href=\"https:\/\/brainstation.io\/book-call\/remote-web-development-bootcamp?utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=BlogPost&amp;utm_campaign=blogLead\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Speak to a Learning Advisor<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><b>Did you have any prior experience with the content?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes, that was a big draw for me when considering the course &#8211; I\u2019ve been working alongside developers in an agile environment for most of my career and in some cases directly supporting them with auxiliary tasks, smaller component additions, quality assurance testing and templating. During that time I\u2019ve kept up with practicing my basic javascript, HTML and CSS understanding as much as possible through sites like codeschool, codeacademy, lynda, etc. I was able to learn a lot by proximity to them and through self-directed learning. To me, this program was an opportunity to take all of those varied experiences and bind them together into a formal foundation.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What was your experience like in class, with your educators and with the content?<\/b> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had a great time throughout! My fellow students were very kind, helpful and a pleasure to learn with. All of our educators are great people &#8211; who were very focused on supporting each of us depending on our needs at the time. There were lots of laughs, challenges, coding headaches, and rewarding milestones as we all encouraged one another to keep moving forward and not be intimidated by a challenging new concept, technology or topic for the week.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>How did this full-time program impact you in your current role or help you transition into another role\/company\/sector?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For me, the program had its biggest impact by helping my make web development and programming my full-time focus. I think one of the largest benefits of it was the regularity of the schedule and the immersive effect that had on me during the learning process. Putting everything aside to eat, sleep and breathe development for 10 weeks was profoundly different than any of the other smaller programs or side studying that I\u2019d done prior. It kept the craft front and center by setting up an environment which helped me delve deeper into its intricacies in a way that might have been more challenging to replicate on my own.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What is your current title, place of work and what do you do day-to-day?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fresh out of the program I\u2019m still working on my portfolio, adding some extended feature to my capstone project and planning on the next few. I have a shortlist of technologies that I\u2019d like to attempt to incorporate as I go and a longer list of companies I\u2019d love to work for. My days consist of trying to strategically split time between doing research, actively coding and keeping on an eye on industry listings for a good fit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Would you recommend this program to others? Specifically, would you recommend this remote program to others over traditional education offerings?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I would wholeheartedly recommend the program to others. I was particularly impressed with how much support there was for the remote learning experience as well &#8211; I don\u2019t yet have a physical classroom course experience to compare it too, but I felt front and center with classmates, educators and the content every day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there anything else you&#8217;d like to add about the experience?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I wish it wasn\u2019t over! While I\u2019m very glad to get underway with the creative process of building out the next chapter of my career I think I\u2019ll find myself augmenting my schedule with a part-time course in the near future to stay sharp.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean recently graduated from our Remote Web Development Full-Time Program looking to change his career from being in [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":6558,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[303,83,97],"tags":[400,399,401,398,397],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.9 -
