In my experience, Pivot was a waste of time. The primary attraction was that it was free, but even with that advantage, the program did not justify the time commitment.

The primary attraction was that it was free, but even with that advantage, the program did not justify the time commitment. Spending 9 hours a week on Pivot, in addition to working full-time, felt like a waste and took away from time I could have spent with my children or improving my life in other ways.Pivot actively promoted the bootcamp to me, but the quality of its curriculum and course content did not compare favorably to school, college, or even trade school. The program fell short compared to other bootcamps and educational programs I’ve tried, such as Codecademy, FreeCodeCamp, TripleTen, CodeWithMosh, and AppBrewery. Even the free resources offered by these programs, such as simple YouTube videos, proved more valuable than what Pivot provided.Pivot provided no ongoing support or check-ins throughout the program. Career materials were minimal and consisted of generic advice easily found online, such as tips for tech resumes. The program lacked proper resources and a centralized database for learning materials, with the learning experience varying significantly depending on the instructor.Seven months after graduation, my cohort's employment rate was 0%. When people raised questions about these issues on Facebook and LinkedIn, Pivot often ignored or deleted the comments. Unlike companies like TripleTen, Pivot doesn’t showcase their alumni and students, which is telling. I encourage you to search for success stories, but they may be difficult to find.Working for Pivot is not any better, if not significantly worse. They are a tech school that does not leverage technology to enhance the program. These points are worth verifying and fact-checking.- Bronce Yahir MarquezStudent • Web Development • NashvilleFeb 15, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very helpful course
Well constructed curriculum from beginning to end, a bit fast paced but we'll organized. The course is really informative and well explained. Does help a lot with networking and connections for future jobs. - Deondra MooreStudent • Web Development • NashvilleFeb 02, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Pivoting in A Pandemic
Pivot Technology School completely exceeds all of your expectations. With live classes being held virtually with amazing instructors and a great curriculum, I learned JavaScript, CSS, HTML and REACT. I also got the opportunity to put what I’ve learned to work in group projects and live websites. Also you get assistance with resume building and job seeking. Going to PTS was one of the best decisions I ever made. - AnonymousCybersecurity Analyst • Student • NashvilleJan 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UNPROFESSIONAL SCAMMERS THAT PRETEND TO BE A LEGIT SCHOOL
