Code for All_

I'll be very honest... I would give it a 0 if I could, I don't recommend anyone going to this school, it was the worst school I've ever attended! A complete robbery and a scheme organized with the Montepio bank! School in poor conditions, construction going on during classes, rooms with 40% more people than they said there would be, teachers not knowing how to speak Portuguese and not knowing how to explain, teachers missing days and days in a row without replacing the teacher when there were several teachers walking around smoking cigarettes, but worst of all, they paint the school pink saying that everything is very good with guaranteed work at the end of the course, classes of 20 people MAXIMUM ( mine was 30...) and when you finish we don't even have work and the support given by the placement team is a joke... simply horrible I don't advise anything, what I advise is to talk to former students who already attended the school as I even bet that 70% of them are unemployed or have left the area. Not to mention signing the contract that was done online on the school's platform, worth €6500, which should never have been done online... but even so, when we tried to get the contract already signed before, we couldn't get it, if we ask the school later they will send a completely different one with all the conditions that were not met so as not to be in breach after the course had ended. An act of clowning literally delayed my life!!!

Great feeling when it's done, how these challenges shape your way of thinking to solve different problems. Engaging in these exercises not only sharpens your problem-solving skills but also instils a sense of accomplishment. The structured approach to tackling diverse challenges each week broadens your perspective and enhances your adaptability. It's amazing to see how each challenge contributes to personal growth, fostering creativity and resilience. Overall, it's an enriching experience that not only improves technical prowess but also moulds you into a more resourceful and confident individual.

My learning experience was amazing, I learn a world of things, really intense, but also really rewarding, human teachers, with a direct and no bullshit approach. They have an amazing placement team, that do not abandon us after the bootcamp is over, this is not the type of school that after they get the money, and all is over, they don't care about the students. I'm really happy I choose this school.

Completing the bootcamp today marks not just the culmination of an educational journey but a transformative experience that exceeded my expectations. The bootcamp, with its well-structured curriculum, provided an immersive and comprehensive deep dive into the world of coding. It was meticulously designed to cover essential topics, ensuring a solid foundation and advanced understanding in each segment.

In summary, the bootcamp was more than just an educational program; it was a journey of growth, learning, and discovery. I am immensely grateful for the experience, the master coders, and the entire process.

Don't even know where to start... don't come in if you think its just a regular bootcamp/school experience. It will change your life, both in the people you will know, but most importantly the amount of knowledge and the way it's provided to us. The way they care about the information is transmitted is unique, and everyone will always look out for each other, specially the teachers. If you want to dive into the world of tech, this bootcamp is the way to go.

If you want to change your life and career, then look no further. You have found the place! But be aware, it won't be easy.  "14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp " isn't a lie. This is what they promise and what they deliver. So be ready to give 110%. If you are truly committed, you will leave Code for All with the right set of skills to take on the job market as a full stack dev.

I learned a lot, even more than I was expecting all the while having too much fun and making new friends for life. I wish i could do it all over again. It's an experience I would recommend to anyone wanting to start (or restart) a life in programming. The course format is a bit unexpected for someone who has the classical learning experience of school and university, but honestly it is the right approach. 

Entering the bootcamp, I was prepared for an intensive learning experience, but little did I know that it would turn out to be one of the most rewarding periods of my life. The program pushed me to my limits, challenging me in ways I hadn't anticipated. However, with each hurdle, I found myself gaining valuable skills and insights that made the entire journey worthwhile.

In conclusion, my experience in the bootcamp was undeniably intensive, yet the rewards were immeasurable. The knowledge and skills gained have equipped me with a strong foundation for a career in the tech industry. The challenges, though demanding, proved instrumental in shaping my capabilities and mindset. This bootcamp was not just an educational journey; it was a transformative experience that prepared me for the dynamic and ever-evolving world of technology.

The experience was extremely demanding, from the enrolment process and fees to the lectures themselves and the events, but the curriculum and the way its delivered is incredibly effective for such a short amount of time. The lecturers are world class, both for technical knowledge but especially and most of all for the sheer spirit they infuse into the lectures and the ambiance they create out of them. The assistance the academy provides the cadets through all stages of their path and even after they've graduated is legitimately second to none and a breath of fresh air in an increasingly bureaucratic and uncaring job market.

Couldn't recommend this enough to anyone considering programming as a career, even as a viable alternative to traditional academia.

Read the other 300 reviews for a more detailed view on the bootcamp's experience, methods, strengths and flaws.
By my own experience - and the reviews you can read here - it's clear you either love it or you don't.

The entry barriers are not kind. It's a lot of money and the application process is long. More importantly, it also serves as a filter for people that would not easily fit within the bootcamps rhythm and demands. Some people find a way to go around it, others cheat through it and find a way into the bootcamps anyway. That's the easy part.

The bootcamp does not guarantee you a job, a successful career or even a semblance of a future. It gives you as much as you give yourself to the classes and day-to-day struggles.

It's not easy, nor should it be.

I really liked the experience. Had a great class, great teachers, made relationships and memories I'll take with me for life and I can say with absolute certainty that more than 90% of my colleagues feel the same way.

Will I have a job as soon as I step out of the campus? Probably not. But I have the tools, knowledge and confidence instilled in me by the bootcamp to help me achieve it sooner than later.

Before I rolled on the bootcamp I had heard impressive reviews about it, people describing that was a life-changing experience. Naturally, my expectations were set sky-high. However, I couldn't help but feel a mix of concern, nervousness and suspicion, wondering if the reality would live up to the glowing reviews. Fortunately, the bootcamp not only met but exceeded all my expectations. 
The experience was crazy and immersive, creating an environment that felt like a second family. The camaraderie among participants were palpable, with everyone offering assistance and support to one another. The teaching staff was nothing short of exceptional, possessing not only top-tier technical expertise but also outstanding social skills. The campus facilities were top notch, contributing significantly to the overall positive atmosphere. 
I recommend this bootcamp to anyone aspiring to enter the programming field while seeking a truly memorable and life-changing journey.

Fulfilling experience with amazing staff and teachers. With only 14 weeks the depth of the knowledge you acquire from the very root of how a computer functions working through several abstractions makes the whole learning experience way easier as the weeks pass by and the difficulty increases. Apart from the knowledge dump you get throughout the weeks the main part is the teamwork and the overall companionship you get from your peers.

The programming bootcamp was a transformative journey, blending intensity with incredible learning. It posed challenges that often felt daunting, yet overcoming them led to a profound sense of accomplishment. The depth of the curriculum pushed me to my limits, fostering a dynamic and immersive learning environment. While the difficulty was palpable, the rewards were equally significant. The camaraderie within the cohort and the guidance from knowledgeable instructors enhanced the overall experience. This bootcamp not only equipped me with practical coding skills but also instilled resilience and problem-solving acumen. In hindsight, the difficulty served as a crucible, refining my capabilities and preparing me for real-world scenarios. Overall, it was a demanding yet immensely gratifying adventure that left an indelible mark on my journey into the world of programming.

I don't say this lightly, the 14 weeks spent here is something I never guessed would be this life changing. I feel like this was the school I wished I had as a kid. The openness and care for the students all of the staff have is something that's hardly seen anywhere else. The classes themselves were structured really well, I feel like I went on a learning journey along with my classmates, starting from the basics of the basics to real world tools we use everyday, no class felt like it didn't belong, they all felt connected and helped us understand what came next. 

I joined this challenge to start a new life and to rebuild my skillset in the professional world. What I found during and after the bootcamp is that I can no longer see the old me, meaning the mission was accomplished.

The overall experience through the bootcamp was smooth but quite fast. I felt like a moving train that never stopped. As long as you are inside, the trip is gonna be held by the teachers and they will get you where you need to be.

It's really important to state that hard work is still needed as the course goes over 25 skills and technologies and most of them are quite complex and hard to get at first glimpse.

I took part on this intensive  and crazy Bootcamp, and have the pleasure to  get to know a lot of crazy  people.

The Bootcamp it self ,  is very Intensive , but also very rewarding,  what  you learn here is actually what you need to be able to  learn anything about  programming , like good practices and other computer Languages, ill recommend every one  that want to  enter the Branch  to do it.

I attended the bootcamp shortly after finishing high school. I also did a 1 year course in acting. I can say that the amount of fun I got from learning through Academia de Código is on par, if not more than my acting course. While the amount of different things I learned is on par with multiple years of high school. You don't just learn a language in which you can program. You learn what makes a good programmer and you're given the tools to explore that. If you want the success that this course promises then you need to take it full on and remove every other distraction from your day to day life. Some people couldn't do that and so they cruised along the course and didn't amount to much. Others (most) are now working in the industry alongside other people who spent multiple years in university and earn the same while providing equal value. Actually, I would go as far as to say that A.C. produces alumni that provide even higher value because we're not taught in old fashioned ways of the university. We're taught the essentials and our motivation and drive does the rest.

There is quite a bit more to say about the bootcamp than meets the eye, or that can be summarized in 200 words, though It definitely is not the run-of-the-mill bootcamp. Pretty intensive, with a lot of theoretical and practical exercises throughout, it is a Journey through the basis of early computing, Object Oriented Programming, Functional Programming, Framework Integration, Troubleshooting our own issues, GOOGLING(important skill) and even glancing over proper presentation etiquette. If you are not in the programming space and would like to get in, or just now starting your programming journey and want a boost in your learning, I highly recommend Academia de Código for all ages.

In this bootcamp you will learn a variety of popular programming tools to help you re-insert yourself into the job market as a full fledged Full-Stack Developer. 
They also have the care to teach you good practices for constructing and expanding your projects (Clean Code). 
You will also make a lot of new connections, as you're not alone in this run, my experience was great because of all the colleagues I've met in here, you will share the frustrations and glory of developing applications and software.
And to add the cherry to the top, they will help you setup a curriculum and help a bunch with job seeking post-graduation.

I had a lot of fun and I learned a lot but don't be overconfident, because finishing this bootcamp is only the beginning!
