I had to skip the last day due to the meetings I had at work and didn’t manage to fill in the valuation form. If possible, I’d like you to pass our thanks to you and highest “mark” of our instructor Ferry! He was very professional, extremely knowledgeable, fun and interactive! We all agreed on that.

  • "My experience in the bootcamp has been nothing short of amazing, as I truly loved the learning atmosphere and the professional setting. Initially, I was unsure about the program, but I was blown away by the interactive nature of the lessons. The bootcamp exceeded my expectations, and now I am actively seeking internships. Mr. Karel and Mr. Ferry ensured that we fully understood each concept before moving on. Mr. Ferry, who is an amazing teacher went above and beyond to explain the theory behind our work. Together, they established a great pace, covering programming fundamentals for absolute beginners, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Node.js, SQL, MySQL, APIs ultimately guiding us in creating a fully functional fullstack CRUD website with features like email, PDF generation, and validation. Their friendly, casual, and humble approach made it easy to ask questions. Overall, I found my journey with this bootcamp to be highly successful, and I hope to continue in this field." -Khaled

Through consistent practice, I’ve found that what initially felt hard has become much easier to grasp. Ferry and Karel have played a pivotal role in this experience.

  • Thank you for your dedication to our learning!" -Bilal

  • "Before the bootcamp, I had only a fragmented understanding of front-end and back-end coding, lacking a full-stack perspective. I entered with no expectations, but was pleasantly surprised by the in-depth content, especially in integrating different parts into a full stack—a new skill for me. The difficulty and pacing felt appropriate, comparable to self-learning. The teachers are friendly and explained concepts clearly. I particularly enjoyed the code-along sessions, as active learning is more effective for me. I would recommend this bootcamp for both beginners and intermediate learners." -Bootcamp participant 2024

  • "Ferry is an excellent addition to the Centre. He has settled well into his new teaching environment and is well respected by both staff and students.

Without a doubt, Mr. Ferry is the best tutor you can find for IB Computer Science." -Abdulaziz, IB candidate Saudi Arabia
