How Do Training Programs at Pulseford Business School Work for Tech Beginners?

I don’t know if this is the right place to ask this question but please I need your replies from experienced and knowledgeable Techies
I want to get a tech skill, I’ve tried severally to do that on my own but can’t, maybe because it feels boring without a community to talk to when stuck or a mentor to submit to
Hence I asking for advice to go about it,
I live in Kano, I would have applied for software development with pulseford that way I would have a community to grow with and help track my growth, and hopefully get an internship

Please I need honest advice on how to go about this, and if I’m lacking in some areas, I don’t mind corrections

Thank you

    What you described is actually very common in tech learning.
    Many people fail learning alone not because they are “not smart enough,” but because:
    there is no structure,
    no accountability,
    no feedback loop,
    no community,
    and no mentor to guide them when stuck.
    So your self-awareness here is a strength, not a weakness.
    About pulseford.com Training
    From what is publicly known, Pulseford operates more like:
    a tech training/community ecosystem,
    with mentorship,
    project-based learning,
    peer interaction,
    and internship/career pathways.
    That structure can help people who struggle with isolated self-learning.
    The major value of programs like this is often not just the curriculum itself, but:
    accountability,
    networking,
    consistency,
    exposure,
    and collaborative learning.
    Important Truth About Tech Learning
    A lot of beginners make this mistake:
    They focus too much on “which course,” instead of “whether they can stay consistent.”
    Consistency matters more than platform.
    You can fail with:
    Udemy,
    YouTube,
    Coursera,
    bootcamps,
    if you disappear after 3 weeks.
    You can succeed with average materials if:
    you build daily,
    ask questions,
    practice,
    and stay around serious learners.
    Your Thinking Is Actually Correct
    You said:
    “Maybe because it feels boring without a community…”
    That is a very accurate observation.
    Tech is easier when you have:
    people learning alongside you,
    mentors,
    project reviews,
    shared struggles,
    accountability.
    Especially in:
    software development,
    cybersecurity,
    data analysis,
    cloud engineering.
    Before You Apply Anywhere, Ask These Questions
    1. Is There Real Mentorship?
    Some programs only sell videos.
    Good programs provide:
    code reviews,
    office hours,
    mentorship,
    active communities,
    debugging help.
    2. Will You Build Real Projects?
    Avoid programs that are only theory.
    You need:
    practical projects,
    GitHub portfolio,
    teamwork,
    deployment experience.
    3. Is There Internship or Industry Exposure?
    Very important.
    Even unpaid internship experience can:
    improve confidence,
    build work habits,
    strengthen CV/portfolio.
    4. Is The Community Active?
    A dead community kills motivation.
    Good signs:
    active Discord/WhatsApp/Slack groups,
    students helping students,
    regular check-ins,
    hackathons/challenges.
    One Very Important Warning
    Do not assume:
    “Paying for a bootcamp automatically guarantees a tech job.”
    That expectation destroys many beginners.
    A program can:
    guide you,
    structure your learning,
    expose you to opportunities,
    but YOU still must:
    practice daily,
    build projects,
    stay disciplined,
    and keep learning independently.
    You Also Need To Choose the Right Skill
    Before joining anything, decide what area you truly want.
    Examples:
    Field
    Good For
    Software Development
    Building apps/websites
    Cybersecurity
    Security & defense
    Data Analysis
    Business/data insights
    UI/UX Design
    Product/interface design
    Cloud/DevOps
    Infrastructure/automation
    Product Management
    Coordination/business-tech
    Since You Mentioned Software Development
    That is a good foundational field because it teaches:
    logic,
    problem-solving,
    systems thinking.
    A beginner-friendly path could be:
    HTML/CSS
    JavaScript
    Git/GitHub
    React
    Backend basics
    Databases
    Deployment
    But the key is:
    build projects early,
    not endless tutorials.
    What I Think You Actually Need
    Not just “a course.”
    You likely need:
    structure,
    accountability,
    environment,
    momentum,
    mentorship,
    and consistency systems.
    That is why a community-based program may genuinely help you.
    Since You’re in Kano
    Even if Pulseford is remote/hybrid, you should also look for:
    local developer communities,
    tech meetups,
    Google Developer Groups,
    student tech hubs,
    online accountability groups.
    Sometimes one strong community changes everything.
    Areas You May Need To Improve Personally
    You asked for corrections too, so here are realistic ones:
    1. Stop Restarting Repeatedly
    Many beginners:
    start,
    get overwhelmed,
    quit,
    restart another course.
    That cycle wastes years.
    Pick ONE path and stay with it long enough to become uncomfortable.
    2. Reduce Passive Learning
    Watching tutorials feels productive but often is not.
    You learn tech faster by:
    breaking code,
    fixing bugs,
    building things,
    asking questions.
    3. Expect Frustration
    Getting stuck is normal.
    Professional developers still:
    search errors daily,
    debug for hours,
    ask questions.
    Being stuck is not failure.
    A Practical Recommendation
    If:
    the fee is reasonable,
    the mentorship is real,
    the community is active,
    projects are practical,
    then joining a structured program like pulseford.com may be a good move for you.
    Especially since you already identified that isolation is affecting your consistency.
    Final Advice
    Your biggest challenge is probably not intelligence.
    It is:
    consistency,
    environment,
    and learning structure.
    Those can be fixed.
    A person who studies:
    1–2 focused hours daily,
    consistently for 12 months, with community support, can become employable in tech.
    The people who usually succeed are not always the most talented. They are often the ones who simply stayed in the game long enough.
