Outstanding Python Training Experience!

The training provided on Python was fantastic! The instructor was exceptional, knowledgeable, and addressed all questions accurately. The material was excellent, and the explanations were clear and thorough. Without a second thought, I highly recommend it.

I am very happy that i have taken best decision

I am very happy that i have taken right decision to level up my career with the support of Interview kickstart. Its been extremely great learning the new technologies like Agentic AI from the pioneering AI developers. The best thing i am impressed with the program is irrespective of the domain or the overall experience that we have, we can dive into the live session with the foundational material readiness and gain the knowledge. Overall it is one of the best decision i have ever made in my professional career.

My experience with Interview…

My experience with Interview Kickstart’s Full Stack program was deep but truly transformative. The live sessions were taught by senior engineers from FAANG companies who explained not just what to learn but how to think like a top-tier developer.

Scammy / Bad Business

This is mostly a scam / rip-off / bad business. Stay away, even ChatGPT can teach better. After clicking an Interview Kickstart ad, I received so many texts & calls every day that eventually tried to check it out, only later to find a lot of complaints about Interview Kickstart, how they continuously push you with false claims and shady business practices. It is not even a US company as they make it seem, a lots of the claims they make are false, they have been refusing to cancel and keep tricking me into signing unclear agreements. There are very concerning reviews on BBB, Reddit, Quora. After cancelling I keep getting more calls/emails without a resolution. I now believe most Trustpilot reviews must be fake, its basically a very expensive $10k cost for watching some videos/zoom calls. Absolute rip-off bait & switch.

Bad experience with Interview Kickstart

I had a very bad experience with Interview Kickstart. After clicking one of their ads, I was bombarded with texts and calls every day. Eventually, I checked it out, but later discovered many complaints online about aggressive sales tactics and misleading claims.The program costs around $10,000, typically financed through Klarna/Affirm loans. In my case, I felt misled by unclear agreements and pressured into signing. When I tried to cancel, they refused to provide a clear resolution, and I continued receiving calls and emails even after cancellation attempts.What you actually get is mostly videos and Zoom calls—far from the expectations they set. To me, it felt like a very poor return for the price. I’ve also seen concerning reviews on BBB, Reddit, and Quora, and I personally question the authenticity of many of the glowing Trustpilot reviews.In my opinion, the value was nowhere near what was promised, and I would strongly caution others to do their research before considering this program.

Interview Kickstart is one of the best courses I joined. I was hesitant to join as I knew little about them but I can definitely tell you, the last few months have been great for learning. I joined the ML Flagship. A few things I really like about them are the quality of the teachers, the assignments, the workshops, support in case something went wrong and the flexibility they provide. I also find the Expert Connect sessions and access to recordings by other teachers quite helpful. I strongly recommend them and they can make a significant difference to your learning. I still have to make use of the mock-interviews and other features but love the course so far. It was a good decision to join
