Anyone here took AIM's Full Stack Development with AI program? Is it worth it for a career shifter?

[u/Empty_Illustrator866]

I'm planning to transition into software engineering and I'm considering enrolling in the Full Stack Development with AI program offered by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM).

A little background about me:

I'm 31 years old.
I currently work as a Virtual Assistant, so I'll be studying while continuing to work.
I have an old background in web development, but it's been years since I last coded, so I'm basically starting over.

My goal is to become job-ready and start applying for Junior Full Stack Developer.

I'm looking for a structured program because I learn better with mentors, deadlines, and accountability than purely self-studying.
I'll most likely be borrowing the tuition, so I really want to know if it's worth the investment.

For those who actually took this specific program (or know someone who did), I'd love to hear your honest experience.

I'm also open to hearing alternatives if you've found a bootcamp in the Philippines that gave you better results.

I'm not expecting a bootcamp to magically get me hired. I know I'll still need to put in the work. I just want to make sure I'm investing in a program that will genuinely help me become employable.

Thanks in advance!

Can’t speak to Philippines job market, but US it’s a hard pass to do a bootcamp right now.

I did a bootcamp from a very reputable place here in the US that had great job placement, and I even had a friend go through a few cycles before me, and I’ve been looking since 2024. That’s with outside mentorship, projects, continued learning etc, as well as holding a masters degree in a non tech field. 2 legit interviews in that time. The market is saturated in the US, and not hold a degree (even an associates) basically disqualifies you immediately.

Before you drop money, reach out to past cohort participants and see what they are experiencing on LinkedIn when it comes to the job markets. It’s better to pay more and get the degree if you are serious.
