Nimbus is GREAT!!!!! Excellent program, excellent people and a lot of fun to boot…read more From my experience, the school lived up to everything they said. The small classes are great as everyone gets a chance to get their hands on the board in each class, and the teachers have time to discuss any questions you may have and to reinforce the lessons on anything you may need extra help with. All of the teachers are still working in the business outside of the school, so you not only get opportunities to work with them and bands in school, but you also get opportunities to work with them outside of school on their own projects. You start from square one, things as simple as wrapping cables and how a mic should be put onto a mic stand, and work your way up to where you will be able to record a full band then edit, mix and master what you've recorded. And not just once, you'll be working on your own projects and class projects and then helping anyone and everyone with their projects as well. If you are really keen you can pretty much just live at the school and work on your craft 24 hours per day. In addition to class time, you will have access to the studios after school that you will be scheduled for and usually you'll be able to get more than your scheduled times as some students don't fully utilize their studio times and you can scoop them up. You can also combine times with other students. At one point in time I had a weekend where I spent more than 50 hours recording bands over a weekend with a number of different people. Totally exhausted by the end but it was great! Forget about normal hours and a normal life when you sign up. You'll be in school during the times you have chosen and in studio as often as you can get in. In my mind there were only two times of day, in school or sleeping. lol I was lucky enough to get the opportunity to run (be a gopher) at a local studio when Matthew Good was recording Lights of Endangered Species (my name is in the liner credits) and was also asked to work with one of the instructors with a band called We Need Surgery that you will be hearing about in the new year. This was all during my time in school. If you're good (and the timing is right) you might even be able to go to Garth Richardson's private studio to work with bands. At the moment there are about 6 students who are rotating while he and one of the instructors work with a new band. Not something you'd get at most schools. I did check out other schools before I signed on with Nimbus, but it was only at Nimbus where you never just sit in a classroom taking notes, you are ALWAYS in a studio. Yes, there are lots of notes, you will generally spend the first hour of every class writing them down and discussing them and then jumping in to put them into action. It's a great way to learn.

Id like to point things out from the only other comment on here becouse it says the school is…read morehorrible and most points brought up simply are not true. If ur flying across country or world to come here you should hear both sides. Nimbus is amazing,contrary to the other review the community is absolutely amazing in fact one of the best things here! Iv instantly made a friend in everyone in my class. They are amazing sweet people and some of them have come as far as korea and argentina to come here! The teachers are amazing and iv never had the great relationship and abillity to understand my teachers as much as here at nimbus.they are always currently working also on modern day hits and know the latest.masters of their craft! The owners are also amazing top industry leaders, if you dont belive me just google there names i dobt need to fight that one,fact and a google search will do it for me. The whole second floor is NOT hierarchy.... Its a parking garage lol but the thrid floor has the hierarchy ASWELL as 2 studios a live room an isolation booth and a room for the 24hour techs to help you with most equipment needs. Studio time is not a rarity if u book it in advance like ur told to and many people will invite you into there sessions giving you the abillity to be in studio everynight if you so desired. Class are far from crowded at around 10 people per class mine is 8 everybody can see and learn one on one.the student body is listened to. Regarding the stament no one has left and become big sleepytom an edm artist is an alumni who has worked along side diplo and many others and is at fetsivals all over north America. There are also about 3 other big names out of nimbus but i wobt name drop as i dont know them 100% and dont wanna mess it up. As for the rest of students the aim for most of them isnt to be top edm producers its to be engineers producers and live audio and film workers. So youll never hear there name if they are at the top of there industry. Its IS very expensive but its do able i do it living on my own as 21 year old. Basically besides the price nimbus is a dream and i would highly recommend it to anyone serious about this. Clearly the other yelper was a dick if he had no friends and couldnt get in studios. If ur not like him im sure everyone will love you. I could go on forever about the pluses but i just suggest you book a tour or skype tour with somone who works there to get all the info you need.

Besides community and network events that they created there is just amazing. After a long period researching what boot camp course I should invest my money here in Vancouver, I'm very pleased to my had chose them.

I attended the online skill development program from October 2024 to January 2025. It was part of…read morethe government's Upskill Canada series. The institute provided innovative learning experiences and a practical co-op at end of the study. I truly enjoyed the teaching from experienced Cyber Security professionals who had industrial knowledge and skills. They showed us practical examples and actual cases happening worldwide. They let us analyze and delve into several key issues when data breach occurred. Not to mention we were introduced to virtual machines for isolation and Kali Linux early on so that we were able to investigate segmentation of devices and network infrastructure in the first few weeks. It was a fun experience. However, due to the packed schedule, you were expected to work on the materials all days and all weeks in order to pass the 2 mid term exams - mock interviews and capstone exams. I passed the CompTia security+ in the first attempt and completed a 4-week co-op with 5 other students.

I took iOS development bootcamp here from February to April 2018…read more Pros: Found a job in June 2018. It's a great learning environment! Staff and students were all really nice. Instructors know their stuff. Hesitant to spend nearly $10000 of my retirement savings to go here, but now I have no regrets! Earning potential for developers is higher than many professions. New location is bigger than old location. Skytrain access. Cons: Your wallet will $10000 lighter. You have to bring your own laptop to do everything. You eat, sleep, breathe development bootcamp and will have no life outside of Lighthouse during your time here. It's that intense! If you miss a week for any reason, you might get rolled forward to the next cohort or kicked out. You will get sick and have to push yourself to keep learning. I was sick on and off from week 3 until the bootcamp was over. You eat, sleep, breathe job search after bootcamp is over (if you want a job out of it).

If you enjoy shopping for natural lotions and potions as much as I do, you simply must take Rene's…read moreclasses. Like most women, I've wasted lots of time and money looking everywhere for just the right face and body products, only to be disappointed time and time again. That's when I thought I should just make my own, according to my own specifications. I've looked everywhere for soap and lotion making classes, and none of them appealed to me as much as Rene's because of her high standards of using organic and natural ingredients. After the first class, i was hooked. Why? My own vanity. Rene is the poster child for good skin. She has no makeup on and her skin is so smooth and blemish free! She is her own walking testimonial to the products she creates. When I heard how old Rene is, I knew I had to learn from her as much as possible because she looks over 15 years younger. My favourite products I've learned to make at Soap Making School so far are soaps (of course), butters, lotions, makeup remover, and shampoo. I read a lot about ingredients but Rene has encyclopedic knowledge about numerous ingredients that surpass anyone I've ever met. Needless to say, I've learned a lot from her. In class she is generous, patient, and so kind and sweet even when students mess things up. Even if you can't take her class just yet, I'd recommend signing up for her free newsletters. They are a wealth of information. If you are lucky enough to have the time to take a class, I'd recommend signing up early since I've seen how quickly some of Rene's classes fill up. Rene is one woman soap making empire. Besides all the selfish reasons I signed up for her classes, it's a treat to support small ethically-run businesses.

Classes are small, very hands on and easy to follow. During the 3 hour class we learned about the soap making process, how industry processes soap we see at the grocery stores. By the end of this class, we were able to create a customized 2 pound loaf to take home.
