One fantastic thing that stood out for me was the practical aspect of the course. This course isn't like any other course where they churn out information without practicals or real-life applications.

I love that we worked on real-life projects and compiled our work into a portfolio. Plus the teamwork with my group members, the reviews, and group discussions.

When I was trying to teach myself, I didn't get as much insights as I got from EntryLevel…I could prove to everyone that I've actually worked on a real project. Everyone needs to harness the knowledge from EntryLevel.

I’d recommend giving up your two weekly cocktails and spend that money on an EntryLevel course. It’ll accelerate your success.
