Pros

The content is very relevant to the industry. Unlike most other programs they do not require a degree. Friendly environment.

Pros

I was attending night school for a degree in Computer Science and working construction 5 days a week. I knew nobody would want to hire a recent graduate who had absolutely 0 experience in the field. Cook Systems gave me that experience. i quit my construction job and put my trust in them. I went through a rigorous 8 week training program that really tested my abilities. In our training class, 16 people started, but only 4 of us completed it. That should give you some idea of how difficult and worth while the training is. After I completed the training, they used their resources and found me a job as a software developer with a reputable company. I've never been happier with my profession.

Cons

Now I have to attend a gym to keep my body from inflating due to a desk job

Pros

A lot of valuable knowledge in short period of time. Great training program. Very collaborative training environment. They encourage people to help and support each other. But you still have to work hard to get through to your dream, no excuses. This place opened the door to career in software development for me!

Cons

When I graduated back in 2017 they were not able to place me and many other students from my group within 2 months period. But with the set of knowledge we got there it wasn't to hard to find software engineering job on our own. Hopefully their staffing team doing much better now
