Pros

I was one of the first through the Java FastTrack'd program 2.5 years ago. I believe it has given me a great start on my career. I've now worked on projects that include technologies such as Java, VB, C#, PHP, EclipseRCP, Spring Framework and many more. The training was tough but doable as long as you dedicate yourself to it and work hard. The management here is very ambitious and always working hard to improve the program in all aspects.

Cons

The process in which we select people is constantly being improved but sometimes we've had people get in that just weren't capable from the beginning. Unfortunately the selection process isn't perfect yet but is evolving.

Pros

The Java Spring part of the training was good but minimal. We only learned RESTful APIs with Spring Boot.

Cons

The Angular part of the course was outdated. We started with 8 students in the cohort, 1 dropped out and 7 graduated. None of the 7 were able to be placed. I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI. We only learned how to build CRUD applications.
