OUR REFERRALS

FABIO TIETZ

Full-Stack Developer at SMATRICS,
former Sergeant/E5 at the Austrian Armed Forces

"The founders of Beyond are a big reason why I am currently in the Software Development sector, I can only recommend learning from them. Not only did they teach me the technical aspect of programming, but also the tactical aspect of it (in terms of advanced problem solving skills). I was also learning a lot of soft skills from them, which gave me a significant advantage against other applicants for the same position. Not only would I relearn from both of them, but I would also trust in their professionality in building a curriculum and a learning platform with the best outcome possible for their students! If you consider signing up, do it. There is no perfect day to start your journey in the tech industry, so you might just choose today as that day."

"I couldn't have asked for better mentors. I've never studied anything IT related before and with their support I managed to change careers within just one year. If someone is looking to learn how to code or to improve their coding skills with the help of supportive, knowledgeable and enthusiastic people, I can only recommend them!"

AMELIE SABINE IRMA

"Learning to program means one thing above all: a lot of frustration, headaches, despair and occasional nervous breakdowns. But with Emad and Guillermo it means one thing above all: fun. Confidence. Success. It's unbelievable how the two of them managed to turn a 'That's too much for me' or a 'I'll never understand that' into a 'Yes, I can do that' in a very short time. It's like witchcraft. With a lot of patience, know-how and empathy, they manage to untie the right knots in the brain and make *everything* possible. I owe them everything."

"Learning to code with Guillermo was an absolute pleasure. While I was always interested in software development, actual code seemed like arcane alchemy to me. Guillermo's curriculum however was so well structured, that it basically trivialized my previous reservations. It was easy to follow, tackling one topic at a time, making sure that each block of knowledge was securely anchored. This laid a really solid foundation on which one could then build their new career as a developer. And even though I didn't fully appreciate it at the time, his incessancy on clean coding helped me develop a skill my colleagues very much appreciate these days."

VICTORIA CHMIELEWSKA

Software Engineer at Porsche Informatik,
Divemaster at Kalypso Dive Center Crete

"I used to feel intimidated by the word IT and now i marvel every day at how much fun i have at my new job. In my opinion Emad and El are one of the best mentors you can find. One of the biggest advantages to gain is: learning the most up to date technologies alongside with the best practices, so you can start your new job with confidence, being on the same level or even more skilled as most peer uni graduates. Both mentors not only guide you every step of the way, but what is far more important is that they keep your motivation to learn high at all times."

"With a deep interest in computer science, I decided to expand my knowledge by taking a C# Software Developer course under the guidance of Emad. Object-oriented programming was completely new territory for me at the time, but Emad's outstanding specialist knowledge and extraordinary support pulled me out of the cold water and prepared me optimally for my final project and the associated final exam throughout the entire course. Thanks to his excellent preparation, I was able to complete this with excellent success in front of an examination board. I'm currently dedicating my free time to developing my first multiplatform app, which will be released in the near future. Without Emad's professional expertise, this project would have been unthinkable. I would take a course with him again without hesitation and can wholeheartedly recommend him."

"Before I crossed paths with Guillermo, programming was a world beyond my horizon—unseen and unfathomed. My journey from a novice, wandering outside the realms of technology, to a full-stack software developer at BRZ, is a testament to the profound influence of Guillermo and the enlightening curriculum he offers. In the dimmest hours of my career, Guillermo was the beacon that guided me through. His teachings did not just illuminate the path to programming; they sparked a transformation that reshaped my entire professional and personal identity.

It was a holistic grooming that equipped me with soft skills, resilience, and the adaptability required in the ever-evolving tech landscape. Under his guidance, I discovered not just a career but a calling—a passion for creating and innovating with code. I am immensely grateful for the opportunity to have been his student, and I wholeheartedly endorse Beyond. For those standing where I once did, at the threshold of a daunting new world, Guillermo and his school are the guiding lights that promise not just to illuminate your path, but to escort you through it, ensuring that the journey of learning programming is as enriching and transformative as it has been for me."

They not only showed me how to program, but also how to write clean code and follow the principles. Which is not a given in today's working world. This additional knowledge will make you immediately stand out from the crowd during job interviews. The tech stack was very modern and you can quickly find your way around. Be it YouTube videos or blogs. My mentors opened the door to a world where I can implement my own ideas and solve many problems. I would like to thank you again for that!"

"One time Emad called me while he was driving to help me fix a Spring Boot security issue in my code. I wasn't sure it would work at first, but it went smoothly - he asked the right questions that eventually led me to the solution. El was either a developer in a previous life, or a university professor, or both. He explained the most complex things in such a simple and often playful way that really anyone could understand it. These two guys are definitely a power duo - both professionally and personally. You'll be in good hands, let's go for that Hello World!"
