Course Reviews
I really enjoyed the quizzes at the start to test our comprehension of the knowledge.
Mohammed - Government - October 2024
Course was well structured, covering a host of material and each section building on previous work. Breaking it down into individual chunks kept the interest and made each section relevant with plenty of practical examples and troubleshooting.
David - Software Developer - February 2024
The way Stuart delivered the course was fantastic coding along with him and setting us various challenges to get us thinking about the content he taught. I went on an AWS course and the technical challenges were just copy paste to get things working I much preferred Stuarts approach and also not doing a typical death by powerpoint style presentation.
Douglas - Software Developer - Government
I really enjoyed the course. I had some experience in React several years ago and this course was an excellent refresher, and it also taught me several things I didn't know before. I found the code-alongs and case study useful, as I find this is the best way for me to learn coding concepts. I also found it useful to hear about some of the debates about the tools and methods discussed as it helps me see some of the different ways of using them and which tools and methods work best for different types of project. Overall the style of the course worked well for me and I learned a lot.
Richard - Digital Developer - Government
The course structure was really amazing. Everything was very nicely explained. Stuart (The instructor) has great knowledge about React and resolved all the queries I had. Stuart always kept the meeting light and informative. He kept asking questions to everyone to make sure all of us was engaging. The coursework and assessments given were really helpful. Stuart also gave recommendations about the future projects that we could practice, and it was great. Overall, the course and the instructor were both really nice.
Sahil - Junior Developer - Government
I absolutely loved this course. The trainer knowledge was on point all the way and I only wish he taught everything I needed to learn about as I wouldn't go anywhere else for training. Brilliant sessions.
