"Believe me when i tell you TOP UNIVERSE is worth every hype, credit, applause, and even more given to them, cos they were my first tech company to beat expectations. I joined the cohorts training to become a professional Frontend Engineer, with improved skill and hands-on experience and I feel proud to say that it has become more real than when I wrote it. I had access to tutors and this scaled up my interest in learning by over 50 percent, cos i was rest assured i would get corrections when i make mistakes and this was the exact experience. To TOPUNIVERSE trainers and teams, I say a very big THANK YOU!"
