    Oh man, I could write a whole novel about how much I loved my experience…read more Horizons has given me the tools to grow my skills and passion for technology and entrepreneurship in a way that I never anticipated. The summer of learning cutting-edge web/mobile dev, networking with amazing companies and fellow Horizonites, and bonding in a community of amazing students with like-minded interests (who have also gone on to intern at the best tech companies because of Horizons) gave me a solid leg-up in my tech career. Because of the amazing things you build (replicas of Facebook, Yelp, Trello, are just among a few of the projects you build each week) and the extremely talented and brilliant instructors, you'll come out of this school feeling like you learned more in 2 months than you've ever learned in college. Seriously, once I started recruiting for a software engineering internship, I realized that because of Horizons, I not only was getting way more interest from companies than my peers, but also I was much more prepared for the technical interviews. It was in large part because of what I learned and built at Horizons that I have now gone on as a software engineering summer intern at a Fortune 500 company and have also transferred from my liberal arts college to Northwestern's engineering school for CS. Mainly, the network you build for both life and entrepreneurial ventures is invaluable. I have met lifelong friends and potential startup co-founders and out in the tech world at recruiting events, I have realized that Horizons alumni look out for one another and are proud of their shared experience at Horizons. Also, the co-founders Abhi and Darwish are some of the kindest and most caring people I have ever met. Abhi has mentored me continuously (whenever I reach out to him, he always finds time to talk with me), and I have even asked him to my school to give a talk because he has so much to offer in terms of solid career advice. Abhi and Darwish are very good people who work very hard (they're always the last to leave the building because they're so dedicated to Horizons), and how they manage to maintain mentoring Horizonites while simulatenously keeping Horizons so efficient and productive is beyond me. This has truly been a cornerstone experience of my life and education, and I can't recommend Horizons highly enough to anyone who is interested in entrepreneuship, learning web/mobile dev, or just want to stand out and get a leg up on technical internships/jobs. Definitely apply - you seriously won't regret it.

    Go to Horizons. I…read morecame into the summer '17 cohort with zero programming or tech-related background. It was grueling! It was hard! It was frustrating! But going through such an intense three months gave me great personal and career development. One thing that's special about doing a bootcamp is that as a business student, you can come out the program knowing the same, if not more, about software development as a CS major does. The breadth of material taught me to think about things as specific as a complex sorting algorithm to as broad as architecting a full stack application. And the best part is that the technical skills I learned were just a starting point. I can't believe how far I've come in the year since I did Horizons in my personal and work projects. Besides the obvious programming knowledge that comes with a bootcamp, I think the thing that sticks out the most about Horizons is that their people genuinely care about each student. When I looked at a problem with little hope of solving it, the TAs patiently encouraged me to think about it dynamically until I reached a solution. Knowing the cohort wanted to learn about more than building, the team networked hard to get us speakers that spoke openly with us about their careers and experiences. Months after the program ended, I received support and advice from the founders themselves during recruiting season. Horizons has been the true foot in the tech door I always wanted and badly needed. Go for it, hate it, love it, and be so glad you did it.

Proof is in the pudding with Training Camp. Most importantly, the instructor, Joe Barnes, is definitely gifted as an educator. I used to be a teacher and still an instructor (17yrs) and I can fully appreciate his approach, demeanor, and patience. He has an incredible way to relay information in an easily, relatable fashion and does so in a fun, engaging way. I've taken many of classes through both my career certifications and fire department certs as well, and Joe is hands down the best instructor I ever had. Legitimately loves his job, loves to educate and see others learn/succeed, and that is what a true educator does! I would 1000% stand by Training Camp and will refer them to anyone. Much better than other courses/study sessions I've used for the CISSP exam. Know the Secret Sauce!! (IYKYK)

    I do not recommend sending your child or enrolling yourself in this school. It's a complete shit…read moreshow. They waste potential students and parents time. What could easily be taken care of over email, via a call or through a zoom call, they insist on making you travel to their school for which is a 2 hour drive and then tell you when you get there that they don't have what they need and you'll have to reschedule. They seemed to only care about getting money from the federal government to get the cost of education paid for. They just help a 30 minute orientation covering dress code and demerits, which can completely be sent via email. NOTHING ELSE. They made people drive from up to 2 hours away for a bullshit show. It was just a check on the list of requirements to get qualified for financial aid. Totally Disgusted. These people should be making minimum wage for the job they're doing because that is the effort they put in.

    If you have a job, this is not the school for you. Pretty much everything they will show you on the…read moretour is a lie. I have been in the night time welding program since about April and I have seen my teacher weld a total of 1 time. They will waste your time and money, then treat you like a child. If you miss any time, you have to make up your time in 1 hour increments per day. I live an hour and a half away and I work during the day- theres a reason I am a night time student. The only hours they have to makeup time is for the day time students. I am getting surgery and they are giving me absolutely no leeway. The entire administration is an absolute joke. If this school didn't scam it's students, the doors probably would've shut long ago.

    Exteremely Pleased…read more by J B - 07/17/2011 I enrolled my daughter in an SAT prep course during the month of May. She attended four ninety minute one on one sessions for the math portion of the test. Having priced some of the competition, METC was by far the least expensive. She recieved her results a couple of weeks ago and she added over one hundred points to her total score. I would highly recommend METC for anyone looking for SAT prep or tutoring services.
