Great learning experience overall, mentors provided good feedback during my FSD course and I'm likely to take another additional course with Winc if needed in my future endeavors!
I finished my Front End Dev. course here with a lot of pleasure. The mentors are very helpfull and meeting students via the slack platform is very nice. I really learned a lot and I'm feeling secure that I can change my career into something new. I would highly recommend Winc to anyone who'd like to study Front End Development. Thank you Winc!
Great learning experience, very fun and interactive ways to learn new things. The information in the courses has been updated regularly. Whenever you have questions, they get answered super quickly and also problems are resolved very quickly. You can tell the courses have been designed by people who know a lot about offering a great online user experience.
The Back-end project completed successfully. Educational and information back-end training with exercises and final tests. Winch employees assisted us at all times via Slack. Thank you
Loved diving into the online marketing course at Winc Academy! It wasn't just about learning new skills (which it totally did!) , but also about pushing myself and proving that the whole “creatives can't be analytical” thing is a myth. Seriously, this course boosted my confidence and made me curious about what else I could learn. Feeling grateful for the whole experience — it was a real gift to myself! Plus, the Winc Academy team was awesome — super helpful and encouraging. Highly recommend this course to anyone looking to level up their skills and explore new possibilities!
Winc has been a fantastic learning platform for me. The courses are well-structured, and the instructors provide clear explanations, making complex topics more understandable. The interactive and hands-on approach, especially in the coding courses like BED JS, has been incredibly helpful in reinforcing my understanding.
A course structure. Clear explanation through videos and sufficient questions and assignments for the course. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to take a higher step in the field of data analyst.
I followed the “UX Design with Figma” course at Winc Academy. It's a very well structured course, with lots of theoretical and practical knowledge, (with additional resources to dig deeper) that can be followed in your own pace, whenever you have time or feel like doing it. All Winc Academy students are connected via the community app where you can meet people following the same course, help each other, develop together. I am using Figma now on a daily basis, both for work and for my personal use. I can only recommend it!
Winc has a nice, well-organized portal. The curriculum is also clear, with example cases, which makes the theory a bit more light-hearted. The digital system works very well, so I didn't need contact with a “physical Winc employee”. Strangely enough, I do miss that a bit afterwards. Hence not 5 but 4 stars.
Good course material, plenty of live lessons, helpful teachers and fellow students. Slack is great for connecting with each other. Constructive criticism is always taken seriously. 1 point for improvement. The time indicated in which you can study is the same for a Newby in tech or a student who is already familiar with programming languages. Six months of Full Stack development for a Newby is too short. There may be a difference in that. This is especially important for students who follow the course through the UWV, because then time is also important.
Great to learn how to program at your own pace and from home. With lots of great teaching materials and assignments.
A great course, doing it in English, took some switching but certainly not too difficult.
I am satisfied with my Back-end training at Winc. Not only was it interesting and educational, but it also gave me the skills and confidence to pursue my professional goals. I would have no hesitation in recommending this course to anyone who is serious about a career in back-end development. Thanks, Winc, for this great experience!
Many parts have been covered through this course. Working with Python was challenging but the assignments were fast. Much of the logic of what Back-End does has certainly become clearer and even more fascinating.
Professional and clear course! Afterwards, you'll have a solid basis (and more than that!) to be able to build on in your future career.
For a Front End Developer, this course expands your JavaScript skills. You need understanding of coding before entering this course. When you are making the exercises it gives you power to learn more.
Very nice and interactive learning environment, where I learned a lot about UX design and the FIGMA tool.
For people who don't have time to take a lesson, this is ideal. All courses are in English, so basic English is a must. Unfortunately, it was not indicated anywhere when registering. But everything turns out to be its own! Mentors also always answer your questions. Good luck!
You can study quietly at your own pace online from home or elsewhere, no pressure from Winc. Great help from mentors and fellow students via Slack. + Great teaching material.
I recently studied Back-End Development at Winc and it was a challenging but fun experience. The exercises and assignments were creative and engaging and provided a great learning opportunity. The mentors were nice and helpful throughout the process. Would recommend it!
For me I learned a lot. There are things I didn't know about or didn't understand enough yet. Now I feel like a follow up course Ethical hacker is something that I wanne do or take more follow-up steps.
Very good guidance and fun exercises! There is a logical structure to the course!
Great course with good content, decorated in a good and motivating way. You can study when and where it suits you, in short; recommended!
This course was very helpful in exploring the basics of UX design. The materials were understandable and clear. Thank you, Winc Academy!
It was an educational and valuable course. Good examples and lots of explanations from the lecturer. Good teaching material and support was very good. I found it very pleasant. It was an eye opener when it came to the many options you have with Power BI. The fabric covers the entire load. From beginner to advanced Power BI user, this is a useful course.
Fun fun course about ChatGPT, including humor and great information.
I took the 'Data Analytics with Python' course and am really excited about it! Before I started, I already had programming experience, but I learned all this myself. Through this course, I learned how to apply the 'better' methods from experienced programmers. All in all, very happy with the course!
Very good and patient mentors who want to help you with everything. It is certainly not an easy course, but that is also the intention. And it's healthy to put the brain to work, so if you really choose a different direction in your career, don't sit still and sign up for a course at winc academy
This course is a very in-depth look into the working of cyber security. What a person can do to increase his/her/their online security. It will make you see where you need more action. Plus links to valuable sites. I enjoyed this course and have learned a lot.
It's never too late to learn something new! And Winc Academy is the place to start. I knew nothing about programming, but now I see that I learned a lot in a few months during the course. Thanks Winc Academy.
