good but not best

The website is well structurated and everything is very flexible.
The problem is you HAVE NOT a teacher, NEVER.
So once you get in the hard part and you have no one to ask your doubt is going to be very frustrating.
I booked the full-stack but im not gonna finish it, im going to leave after the first half.....if i can do it

fraudulent be warned.

Scam. The course itself is pretty bad, but what’s worse is the infinite loop they send you on to cancel a subscription, asking you to log in all the time then leading you to nowhere. You can delete your account but this won’t delete your payment. They will ask you to verify your email but you’ll receive nothing to do so.

SQL / Python Trainig

Learned SQL through here and was ok, 2/5. Python was a 0/5. There seems to be a lot more effort attaching storylines to the string of examples to try to make them relevant to each other vs. actually explaining the concepts. There's more focus on syntax instead of providing practical examples that I'd use in real life. Python is a 0/5 because of the lack of flow between beginner/intermediate course. YouTube prepared me better for the intermediate course than the beginning course did. If this subscription was 1/3 of the price of what I paid I'd be a lot more happy, not worth the amount of money I ended up paying.

Great mix of theory and practice, just needs more videos in the solutions/hints

I've been doing the SQL course and have already completed the Power BI course and I've liked the courses content and structure so far. I really like that there's a mix between theory and many practice exercises. The only thing I would improve is for all practice exercises to have a video solution to go along with besides the written hint. I remember in the first beginners lesson on the SQL course I had the option available to watch a video with the solution of the problem, which made it easier to understand and follow along. But now that I'm halfway I can only see the written hint whenever I'm stuck, and it has blank spaces so sometimes not even the hint is too helpful to me. A video with the whole solution would be better and more helpful.

The career changing opportunity I've been looking for.

Been wanting to change careers for a few years now, but with the amount of time I work I didn't think I'd have time to take college classes and get job ready skills. With Codecademy I feel like I'm learning job relevant skills in the time I have. Plus the training is done in a hands on way that works well with the way I remember things. So far my experience has been great and I'm looking forward to being able to put my life on a new path.

Easy to follow

It is well written, and I love the practical exercise that makes sure you grasp what you just learned before moving forward. It makes it easy to check for understanding and progress.

Relevant, well-structured, challenging and fun

Lessons and projects have all been relevant and well-structured. The learning community on discord has been supportive and very helpful. I've been studying for a little over a month - it's been the most fun and challenging experience I've had in a long time.
