ACADS Experience: What our students say
  • The interactive elements were really helpful. I could raise a question and stop the instructor wherever I felt like I wasn't able to understand things. Also the ability to write code during live sessions and the concern of the instructor to stop at every point and check on all the students was just great.
  • I really appreciate the way you always give time and help me catch up ! I have attended so many online classes but have never had this experience ever. Thanks so much for your support !
  • The instructor was very patient throughout the course.
  • Wonderful and very dedicated instructor. Takes the time to help and mentor each student. Inspires us to keep on working through problems and challenges, not just in code, but in all areas.
  • It really felt like a real classroom (even though it was online) and the environment was also very good.
  • I had a great experience writing code during the sessions and after the sessions as well. It was well paced and very interactive.
  • Everything was great. It was hard though to absorb all the material each class. It really helped also to have the videos to look back to.
