      Pros

      You make no money for two months. Free one star hotel. You get an old laptop to use.

      Cons

      DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT!!! Over half the people that start out in the class will be cut, even though they say no prior java experience is needed. The instructor just reads from the binder which doesn't help you understand the concepts. Even if you pass this silly course you will not get a job and the contract does not allow you to get a job somewhere else! If you pass the class and don't work for them you owe them 6,000 dollars! DO NOT SIGN THE CONTRACT!

      We are sorry to see that you did not have a great experience with us. We have made several modifications to our FastTrack program since your review, so most of the points you listed are not longer applicable. FastTrack is a no-obligation program completed remotely, and we do not ask students to sign anything indicating they would owe money to any entity. Cook employees all use recently purchased Apple MacBooks. Either way, we thank you for your feedback!

      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      The Angular part of the course was outdated.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 I felt the curriculum was outdated in the age of AI.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.
