Our take
Based on the ratings of 3,414 students and a sample of their written reviews, the syllabus, the course as of August 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
Bootstrap 5 taught one class at a time. The syllabus shows 311 lectures over about 21 hours, and the bulk of that is a 112-lecture components section followed by 60 lectures on utilities. Three projects close it out: an employee dashboard, a blog template, and a multi-page education site. It suits people who know basic HTML and CSS and want a guided tour of the framework rather than a design course. Reviewers who came in knowing nothing about Bootstrap say they left able to build pages with it, and about 55,000 students have enrolled.
Students give Fatah Gabrial credit for clear, orderly explanations, and one reviewer says questions posted in the Q&A were answered quickly. The projects get praise for letting people apply what they covered. The complaints are consistent, though. Several reviewers call the lecture section a video version of the official documentation: each class gets demonstrated, but rarely explained. Repetition is another sore point, with one four-star reviewer saying the course could be much shorter. Audio quality comes up more than once, from low volume to mumbling, and two reviewers say the projects hardcode colors and data instead of showing good practice. Sass, NPM installs, and customizing Bootstrap are not covered.
Three of the courses beside it in our Bootstrap list are Bootstrap 4 courses, so this is the current-version option, and it was refreshed in August 2025. Treat it as a demonstrated reference of the framework with three practice builds attached and it delivers. People who want to know why Bootstrap works the way it does, or who need Sass and custom builds, should look elsewhere. Around 85 percent of its 3,414 ratings are four or five stars, so most students leave satisfied, and the 4.6 average holds up.
Pros
- Covers nearly every Bootstrap 5 component and utility, with 112 lectures on components alone
- Three end projects: an employee dashboard, a blog template, and a multi-page education site
- Last updated August 2025, so it tracks current Bootstrap 5 rather than version 4
- Reviewers say explanations are clear and Q&A questions get quick answers
Cons
- Several reviewers call it a video version of the docs: classes are shown, rarely explained
- Audio is uneven, with low volume in most modules and some mumbling
- No Sass, NPM installation, or customization; projects hardcode colors and data
Fantastic course! Absolutely no nonsense and straight to the point. If you want to learn Bootstrap, this is the course to take!
Listed as all levels, but it really suits beginners with basic HTML and CSS; experienced developers will find it slow.

so far so good, very thorough with clear instructions, of course student or pro would not remember all the classes that come with bootstrap but as long as i get the general idea i am doing ok so far.
By Mohan Kumar on 8/28/2025
The course was very well-structured and easy to understand. The instructor explained each concept clearly, and all the important topics were covered in detail. It’s a great course for both beginners and those who want to strengthen their knowledge of Bootstrap. I found it very practical and useful!
By Robert Snelling on 7/24/2025
Many examples of similar items. The time to train could have been reduced significantly. The explanation and overview of how some items relate was not covered until about 75% thru the course. I did learn some things that will be helpful. I think the overall course could have been much shorter in timeframe and deliver more specifics about how using Boostrap makes coding easier. It could be improved by first explaining the reasons and details about a concept and then show examples. Thank you overall!

Fantastic course! Absolutely no nonsense and straight to the point. If you want to learn Bootstrap, this is the course to take! Prior to taking this course, I knew absolutely nothing about Bootstrap. Now, I am confident in creating websites and pages using Bootstrap. Also, I posted a couple of questions and the responses came very quickly.
By Jai Maniktalla on 6/9/2024
Honestly, it was such an amazing experience. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking to learning Bootstrap from the very beginning. Well paced and well structured course!!!
By Saba ioseliani on 12/18/2023
i liked this course very much, over time helped me understand and get used to how bootstrap works and the projects at the end were very fun!
By Antonio Corinaldi on 9/5/2023
Good course. It requires a complete knowledge about css though. BS classes are a lot, so I can understand why he couldn't go too deep into any single class explaination. A good resource to have and to use for my personal projects. Not bad at all and congratulations for your commitment in producing it.
By Omar Ramirez on 7/14/2023
is good but, sometimes just writing and copy and not really explaining every label code and no documentation explaining
By Mark k on 7/11/2023
There were a lot of items not explained what they do. such as Aria, Types and Roles. Also, I have never hard coded data! In the real world, that would never happen and it would be nice to have had a section to show how to work with bootstrap and server data.
By Larry Womac on 3/7/2023
As an accessibility tester, I found this course very informative from a developer's point of view. Do all of these features satisfy WCAG and Section 508 requirements for accessible components, features, and color contrast?
