Revature reviews

I was hired with Revature early 2012 (prior to changing their name to Revature). The training was great, they found me on a job board (I believe it was Monster.com) when I was having a tough time trying to find a job myself. One thing that helped me the most was not the technical training, but the soft skills training. They help you with resume building and interview preparation. I know many people talk about the marketing process however I can't say for myself that I had a bad experience. I got placed on a project within a week in Columbia, SC with the Department of Education. It was a great learning experience as my first job. I moved up pretty quickly within the development team and started code sharing ideas and presentations throughout the CIO department of DOE. The training definitely helped with my success in Columbia. I now work internally with Revature on the content platform team. I work on the training content for our online training platform (www.revature.com). Another big pro with Revature is the fact that we hire internally. Most of the trainers/content team (if not all) are former Revature graduates that went through the program.

The training with Revature is definitely an experience. It will teach you everything you need to know to be successful in the field as a developer. Coming in, I had never heard of most of the frameworks they teach. The pace is insanely fast, but that helped me on the client projects. As a client side developer, there are times where I need to learn a technology and use it within days! The Revature training projects that you work on really help cement everything you have learned. Depending on the trainer, they may be team based projects.
