Course Report "Best Bootcamp of 2024" awards appear to be a scam to me (in my personal opinion). Don't fall for it. I saw a bootcamp and it's CEO produly talking about how they got a Best Bootcamp of 2024 award from Course Report and were so proud of their team for getting the award. I looked into this a bit more. 1. DOZENS OF BOOTCAMPS (like any legitimate bootcamp it appears) got a best bootcamp of 2024 award. It was hard to find common bootcamps that did NOT get the award. 2. It appears that all or almost all of the bootcamps that pay Course Report for marketing got the award (2U bootcamps didn't and are shutting down) 3. One of the bootcamps that got the award had ONE REVIEW IN ALL OF 2024 and somehow still got the award. 4. Another bootcamp paid their graduates with gift cards to write reviews and Course Report still gave them a best bootcamp award. **54 out of the first 100 listed bootcamps got the "Best Bootcamp of 2024" award**: * Le Wagon * BrainStation * Nucamp * Springboard * CareerFoundry * App Academy * Ironhack * Correlation One * Designlab * General Assembly * Coding Dojo * Actualize * Codesmith * Flatiron School * CourseCareers * Tech Elevator * TripleTen * Makers Academy * The Tech Academy * Clarusway * Avocademy * Product Gym by Elevate * Coding Temple * Fullstack Academy * NYC Data Science Academy * Devmountain * DigitalCrafts * Hack Reactor * WBS CODING SCHOOL * Careerist * Jedha * LearningFuze * Henry * Turing College * Sabio * TrueCoders * Nuclio School * JobPrepped * Turing School of Software & Design * Product School * Test Pro * Codeworks * Claim Academy * 4Geeks Academy * Colaberry * Evolve Security Academy * Elevate * Skill Distillery * Big Blue Data Academy * Constructor Academy * Code Platoon * MAX Technical Training * UX Design Institute * RevoU
