@Jose123,
Our team spent years researching and experimenting in order to achieve this feat and we arrived at our special curriculum and approach. Please read below some salient points in our strategy:

1. We said "our participants learn so much in the 10-weeks in software development than they have in their entire 4-year stay in the higher institution..." Because having studied our polytechnics/ universities curriculum we discovered that the number of credit units allotted to software development-related courses, the students will spend about 100 hours coding ( if at all they are devoted) but at out bootcamp for the 10- weeks they spend about 600hours ( i.e 300 hours on-site and about 300 - 350hours outside the classroom ( if they devote 4-5hr daily))

2. There is a huge difference between someone that is going to an unknown destination with a map and one that has a guide who has plied the same route over and over again. It is obvious the one with a guide will get there faster and less stressed. That is our approach, it is not a mere academic process but an apprenticeship. Our trainers are experienced developers and with their mentorship, the participants will achieve what would have taken them years in some few weeks.

You can not generalize until you have experienced our training or have someone that has attended any of our bootcamp say so. Our participants' testimonials ( some are on our website), http://moatacademy.com/ negate your assertions.

@Antiwailer, just as we said you cannot generalise based on your past experience. The mere fact that you can not do a thing doesn't mean it cannot be done.

The "Wright brothers" were not given a chance but they did it by inventing the airplane. In fact , until recent nobody believed there could be a driver-less car.

We are an enabler and we are out to remove the bottlenecks. Gone are the days where people thought to be a software developer is a rocket science or you must be a geek or mathematician, we have been in this business for years and we can boldly say - software development is just like any other trade that can be learnt.

Our team spent years researching and experimenting in order to achieve this feat and we arrived at our special curriculum and approach. Please read below some salient points in our strategy:

1. We said "our participants learn so much in the 10-weeks in software development than they have in their entire 4-year stay in the higher institution..." Because having studied our polytechnics/ universities curriculum we discovered that the number of credit units allotted to software development-related courses, the students will spend about 100 hours coding ( if at all they are devoted) but at out bootcamp for the 10- weeks they spend about 600hours ( i.e 300 hours on-site and about 300 - 350hours outside the classroom ( if they devote 4-5hr daily))

2. There is a huge difference between someone that is going to an unknown destination with a map and one that has a guide who has plied the same route over and over again. It is obvious the one with a guide will get there faster and less stressed. That is our approach, it is not a mere academic process but an apprenticeship. Our trainers are experienced developers and with their mentorship, the participants will achieve what would have taken them years in some few weeks.

3. Technology as we know is ever-changing. In the past, some developers used punch cards , which is no longer relevant in the scheme of things today. What you taught on coding 11 years ago will no longer relevant in the scheme of things today ( because programming has gone well beyond that and the servers and other hardwares have been updated). Programming is not in the matters of years but in what you can do now , so we teach our participants how to learn in a progressive manner and keep themselves abreast of the ever-changing technology even after they have left our bootcamp. With the strong foundation, they will make landmark achievements!

@Antiwailer, we are very suprised with your comments.

AntiWailer:
Stop over promising and Under delivering.

... This is an allegation that is unfounded as you have never patronised us or undergone any our training, to have come about this. Our participants testimonials, with some on on our website, http://moatacademy.com/ negate your assertions.

It is wrong to generalise, based on your past experience or what other training centres offer. We offer a project-based training that is unique in the country. With what we equip participants with, we don't expect them to beg for jobs or get stranded after the training (If you have the necessary skills to do the job... then you can get the job!). Even before leaving our bootcamp they are already building their portfolio and in fact they will deliver a web application of their choice as their final bootcamp project( for instance for the present batch we have someone building an e-learning platform , an online ordering system and so on).
