Lighthouse Labs

Lighthouse Labs was created as an experiment in 2013 by a group of software developers with a passion for code, mentorship, and education. The school’s mission: to continuously find the best ways to train the next generation of developers and to transform the way tech education is delivered. Over two years later, Lighthouse Labs is still chasing that same mission.
What Sets Lighthouse Labs Apart?
When it comes to in-person training, Lighthouse Labs offers a more expansive geographic reach than any other Canadian coding bootcamp, with campuses from Vancouver to Halifax, with many stops in between. The college maintains a high job placement rate (95 percent within 180 days of graduation), high average student salary ($84,908), and high graduation rate (91 percent). In 2020, Lighthouse Labs committed $1 million in needs-based scholarship funding to new students. It also decided to build on its success educating the future coding workforce with new courses in data analytics and data science, including the new data science bootcamp.
What Students Are Saying
“What I loved about my experience is that it gave me the structure I needed to learn the right skills in the right order. Lighthouse gave me the tools I needed to explore answers on my own to just about every problem I encountered. And the teachers were amazing; more like career coaches and coding gurus than teachers, it felt like at times. I didn’t expect much from career services, but I was actually blown away. Everyone in my class landed interviews as a direct result of Lighthouse Labs’ career support, and all but one had a job as a junior developer 3 months after graduation. One bonus of my experience is that I’ve begun getting requests to build websites from family and friends, and will hack away on weekends earning a not insignificant side income this year! ”

“I took the Web Dev course at Juno. At first I was nervous, as I was learning a brand new skill and I was intimidated by the field. But, everyone I dealt with at Juno made it not only something that was extremely approachable and worked with my learning style, everyone from Juno was so kind and fun to work with. Highly recommend. Amazing course. ”

WeCloudData

WeCloudData continues to evolve with customized bootcamps focused on data science and big data knowledge — but with plenty of coding education on offer for the data engineering inclined. The Toronto-based bootcamp bills itself as a leading data science education and career service provider in Canada. The school is known for serving as a bridge between devoted and passionate data scientists and companies who need help with challenging business problems in data analytics.
What Sets WeCloudData Apart?
WeCloudData may not be Canada’s best bootcamp for learning front-end development, but when it comes to Python, SQL and coding for data engineers, it shines. WeCloudData was one of the first bootcamps in Canada to offer advanced training in data science, and its co-founder, Shaohua Zhang, still spends plenty of time in the classroom, where he consistently gets top marks for teaching. Before co-founding WeCloudData, Zhang taught big data at Ryerson University and managed research and development projects at Blackberry.
What Students Are Saying
“Good news - you can stop searching! I did all the research I could before making the decision to do the Immersive Data Science Bootcamp at WeCloudData and after completing it, I can confidently say it's the best option you can choose. Shaohua and Vinny are extremely knowledgable instructors and genuinely care about your progress during the bootcamp and in finding a job afterwards. You will learn everything you need to know for entry level DA/DS/DE jobs: Stats, Webscraping, SQL, Python, Machine Learning, Big Data. It's all covered thoroughly and efficiently. Like most education it will be what you make of it and the program is rigorous so I recommend pausing your life for a few months. The client projects they offer give you legit on-the-job experience and are very helpful during the job search. Not long after I completed the course I was offered a job that exceeded all of my expectations. Many of my classmates had similar results. Lastly, I knew 2 people that took both the WCD bootcamp and $65K+ Masters of Analytics and they both said WCD was clearly superior. If you're not convinced, then do what I did and try out one of their part-time courses to see if it's a good fit. ”
Todd S., Data Science Diploma
What You’ll Learn
After a short hiatus, WeCloudData’s full-time Data Science Diploma program is back.

Concordia University

Concordia University in Montreal is the highest ranked North American university to be founded within the last 50 years. It is also among only one other university on this list to offer to offer a job-focused web development program in an accelerated format. The University’s emphasis on coding and computing, part of what’s being billed as a plan to redefine the 21st century university, is positioning itself to advance a Montreal tech boom.
In 2018, Concordia re-named its engineering department to the Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science after Cody, an alumna, donated $15 million to the school. It is the first engineering school in Canada to be named after a woman.
What Sets Concordia Apart?
Concordia’s flagship Web Development Diploma program leaves students with a mastery of web development after 12 weeks. Partner DecodeMTL grants students unparalleled access to industry professionals who bridge the gap from education to employment.
More than 90 per cent of Concordia coding bootcamp students are hired within six months of graduation, with an average starting salary of $55,000. Additional programs focused on what to do after graduating, how to search for jobs more efficiently, and interview skills are available for bootcamp students as well.
What Students Are Saying
“I chose Concordia and DecodeMTL because I heard the curriculum was strong and easy to follow. Having a connection to Concordia is also valuable for employers. The diploma is very demanding. I started with basic knowledge of HTML and still needed to commit the hours to learning on my own. The instructors are very good at their jobs. They were always available when I needed them and helped me whenever I was stuck. They put everything into a business context too which I appreciated. The last thing is that you need to hustle to find a job. The school will help with CV editing, mock interviews and getting you a better online presence. It all helps, but some students like to think a job will be waiting for you without any work. That's not true, so be ready. ”
Imran Saadeh, Web Development Diploma
What You’ll Learn
Students will learn through full-stack programming projects as well as cohort-based work. They will explore the fundamentals of programming, such as higher order functions and object oriented programming. Server and database programming with NodeJS, a free open source server environment are also emphasized. Front end use of React and Redux, one of the most popular UI development tools available, also round out the curriculum.

Recently finished a web development bootcamp and loved it! So glad I took the time to focus on learning, and it was an amazing experience to kick start a new career. For anyone that is not 100% sure if a bootcamp is right for them, the part time course offer an opportunity to explore HTML, JavaScript or UX. It’s also a great way to make sure you are prepared for an intensive bootcamp, and some of the fees can be deducted from the full time tuition.
So helpful! My employer paid for me to attend a part-time UX course — I’m halfway done — but I can already see a huge difference at work. I’m an account manager at a PR agency, and now I can work confidently with developers AND “creatives” to get products built for my clients. I used the Ontario Job Grant.

Thank you for this article
Saved as a favorite! I really like it!
Red Academy is closed. Doesn’t exist anymore. Lighthouse Labs is seriously the best of the bunch. I’ve attended both Brainstation and LHL and it’s no comparison between the two. LHL is all substance, Brainstation is all surface.
Im glad you commented, I am comparing LHL and Brainstation for the Web Dev boot camp, it seems Brainstation has a lot more to offer as far as finding work after completion, could you shed some light further on why you liked LHL better? It would really help me.
Hey Andrew – Our learning advisors are here to help. Email us at hello@coursecompare.ca and we’ll help you find the right program based on your career goals and learning needs.
I am also torn between selecting the best option. I have been accepted for lighthouselabs, applied for juno as well(no communication from them for a week now). I have previous coding experience and for me the most important factor is career support. Some more comments/ review from alumni would be appreciated.
@Tawfiqul: Lighthouse Labs just launched a “Flex” program that lets you take the diploma bootcamp part-time instead of full-time. It takes 30 weeks, about 7 months, compared to the 3-month class. It’s the same price. Maybe this will help you make your decision?
Ben, can you share which bootcamp you completed. Congratulations
Nice article. I was looking for the same. Thanks for sharing it.
