Only two hours a week online teaching for Web Development
Only two hours a week of online teaching. Cannot learn web dev and all the other associated software with so little tutor teaching. Teaching was rushed as the subject matter taught had to be completed within the two-hour online slot. Waste of three months. No notes were handed out apart from basic slides used during teaching. Coding requires good quality notes - they do not provide. Very few job leads were sent to me. And those were from famous well-known websites. They do not have many personal contacts with companies. If you want to learn with this company - Tech Talent - ask about 1. Quality of notes provided 2. Are notes mere slide presentations or are they proper notes? Big difference. 3. Ask about the success rates of people getting into jobs. 4. Ask about the success rates of people who had no prior IT/ Web Dev experience getting jobs. Tech Talent get paid a lot of money for factory-style basic teaching. If I had to choose between tech talent teaching me or self-teaching - I would choose self-teaching or a different company. Having nice and cheerful staff is not enough.

Great course, helped me get my current job!
The course was well planned and delivered nicely through the weeks. The content of the course helped me get my job as I had the chance of learning and applying SQL and python in the course. My teacher was always helpful and always give feedback on the homework. The academy gave us sessions focused on the preparation of the exam which helped my confidence when doing the exam. Any issues were always solved really fast the teachtalent team.

A good way to start
My time with TechTalent.academy was great, I had Jessica as a lecturer and she helped me understand some good foundations in Data analysis, Data Science and SQL. However, I strongly believe that learning how to code is impossible in 1 time 4 hours per week for 12 weeks, so it is important that each student do their part. TechTalent will teach you the base, help you to find a job and also how to advertise yourself to the market, but it is important that each student go deeper in their freetime

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for sharing your experience with us 🙏
We're thrilled to hear that you had a great time with TechTalent and that Jessica was able to provide you with a strong foundation in Data Analysis, Data Science, and SQL 💻
We understand your concerns about the time frame of our course and we agree that learning how to code can be challenging. However, we believe that the course provides students with a solid foundation and the tools needed to continue learning and developing their skills on their own time 🔧💻
As you know we also provide guidance and support for finding a job and advertising your own personal brand to the market 💼
We appreciate your feedback and will take it into consideration as we continue to improve our courses. Thanks again for choosing TechTalent 🙌
From everyone on the team we want to wish you all the best for the future!!
Great for beginners
I really enjoyed the course content and the instructor was always ready to help. I’ll recommend it to anyone who wants to go into data science as I got my first data science job after I completed the course :). Thank you TechTalent.

Applied for AWS course and got…
Applied for AWS course and got accepted. Then I had no further communications after sending so many personal documents. Close to the start date I sent them another email and they confirmed that I am on the list and said that they'll send me email once they sort the things out. After waiting another week I sent another email just to be told that the course was cancelled. I cancelled all my plans because of these people and they did not even bother to tell me that there is no course. Do not waste your time with these people.

Hello, first off we would like to say that we appreciate you getting in touch to leave a review, all feedback is taken on board, good or bad.
We are saddened to hear that your experience with TechTalent was not as you were expecting. We have been lucky enough to work with over 1500+ students across our Data Science, Cyber Security, Software Development and AWS courses.
We have checked recent communications and we'd really appreciate discussing these in more detail with you. We have asked our onboarding team to reach out and clear up any misunderstanding as well as help to remedy your situation.
As we work with funding partners across the UK our course dates are subject to change out with our control. We try to manage this as best as possible and occasionally this can impact individuals who wish to join us on course and their commitments outside of the course.
Once again we appreciate your feedback and look forward to speaking with you soon.
All the best,
TechTalent
Good for beginners but challenging
The Data analysis course is good for anyone who starts from scratch. Nevertheless, it does require a lot of study and research in your own time, because the topics covered by the course are quite a few and very often not so easy to pick up. This is understandable though, considering the amount of topics that need to be covered.
It is challenging and you must be prepared to do a lot of self-study.
The support is good and ready to help. Also, exchanging ideas with fellow learners is a helpful tool.

Poor communication, structure, and resources
Background - Had self-taught some coding for a couple of months before starting course. Left course after two sessions (two weeks).
Overall I got a the impression this bootcamp would not help me learn the taught material or find a job any quicker than most free material online. It also seems poorly organised.
1. There are 0 requirements to get on the course. Write them an email asking to apply and you'll be told you're on the course.
2. No communication about the course, or given anything to look at until it started. I had covered basic material before so I understood what was going on, but for anyone new to this (which the course was aimed at) I could imagine the first lesson to be very difficult to have followed.
4. The contract that had to be signed to start the course was sent out almost a month after the course had started.
5. Half of the second lesson was spent discussing how people should apply for a job posting... Before having taught much more than printing hello, world. It is great that they work at getting people to apply for jobs, but when there are so few contact hours per week spending an hour early on seems odd.
It seems like there are lots of companies setting up bootcamps since there are government scholarships/funding for it in certain areas, and many of those are of very low quality aimed at getting as many students in as possible with little emphasis on high quality teaching. Do your research, I'd avoid this one.

Hello Patrik,
Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. We’re sorry to hear that TechTalent Academy wasn’t the right fit for you and wish you all the best for the future.
All feedback is important to us as we rely on hearing from our students to ensure we’re doing a great job. We always encourage our students to contact us directly so we can address any potential issues before they arise.
As your review has been listed in points, we thought we’d take the time to address each point individually:
1. As our academy is fully funded by local authorities and government, we have strict guidelines to follow when it comes to screening our students, this includes strict eligibility checks and the completion of an information session to ensure the course is the right fit for them. We’re serious about people and the difference our courses and employability workshops can have on an individual’s life. We have placed students with some of the UK’s largest tech employers as a direct result of our courses, so we know it’s a formula that works. We’re sorry to hear that the course wasn’t what you were looking for.
2. We constantly strive for better and are always working to improve our learner journey, from onboarding through to starting the course, the materials delivered and the support we provide. All your points have been taken on board and passed across to our team for further evaluation.
3. Our mission is to give diverse groups and communities the skills, confidence and opportunities they need to access a career in the tech sector. Our vision is a fair and fit-for-purpose tech industry where everyone with talent can thrive. As the courses are fully funded by local authorities and government, part of our commitment to them as our funding partners is to provide all of our students with job opportunities in the tech sector, part of this includes employability workshops and calls with potential employers. It’s a vital part of our offering and one that has worked for so many. We’ll pass your feedback back along to the team to evaluate.
4. Your feedback about our lectures and resources has been passed along to the team. We have successfully upskilled and trained over 1500+ students across our Data Science, Cyber Security, Software Development and AWS courses, keeping the content fresh, engaging and up to date. Our focus is on delivering content which is proven and backed by the tech industry.
We work directly with the tech industry to close tech skills gaps, and with over 1500+ students training with TechTalent we’re sure that our offering and delivery of Free Fully Funded courses is comparable with the very best. We’re always happy to recommend other bootcamps and courses that might be a better fit. Once again, we thank you for your review and can only apologise that on this occasion, we were not the right fit for one another.
We wish you the very best in your future endeavours.
