I registered my daughter at few workshops at Douglas Academy and I am impressed with the way they teach and how fast they add content and improve. I registered my daughter at few coding and robotics schools in the past (in Mississauga and Montreal). Here is my review about what I like and what I would like to improve.
I like:
- Their Friendly staff, they are always happy :-)
- In depth content compared to other coding schools I saw in the area.
- Rich content (I was surprised to know that they teach Python and Java to kids! But boy, they own a special platform where they teach kids how to code in simple way. My daughter is always keen to work on her exercises, I never saw her like this before!)
- They take feeback seriously! They sent me few emails asking about my feedback.
- They keep improving their content and delivery, when I look at the first workshop we joined (a year back and the one we just joined, massive improvement!)
- I just saw what they are planning for 2019 and that was my trigger to write this feedback
- I like mixing robotics and coding, kids learn to build and think to code!
Areas to improve:
- They are limited in the number of days they are offering training. Can we get workshops for 2 days a week or even 3 days a week?
- I think they should have formal evaluation between the different levels, my daughter received a certificate when she finished her current level, but I would like her to go through a test and get us back the results. I do not mind if she fail and repeat the same level.
- I think you should do better job advertising, I was referred by a friend and I can see many people not hearing about you because you are not active in marketing. I will post this review at your othe locations so people can read it.
The kids are having fun and learning robotics and computer programming.
