I wouldn't really call it a bootcamp if it takes 12-18 months training + 6 months of internships. Was it shorter in the US? Here, the school is sponsored by big companies. Not exciting ones, but big. So the hope is to get started there somewhere. Not sure this is the right path f

yeah you're right. I shouldn't really call it a bootcamp because it is longer and you leave with a little bit more solid absorbed materials and in boot camps you normally just flail for 12 weeks and don't really remember much.
if the company is sponsoring it actually hire you either as an engineer or an apprentice, then that's like a great reason to join.
at the end of the day you're looking for something that will help you get a first baby step job and if their partners will do that then I would highly recommend.
the major problem with bootcamps in the United States and why the tone is so negative there on the subreddit is because the best ones promise the world to people and promised mid-level jobs and things like but the boot camps actually weren't really doing much and there was a big disconnect between the marketing that the bootcamps were responsible for everything and the reality.
