I was stuck in a unsatisfying job, underpayed and 
not expecting significant progression anytime soon
when I found <Academia de Código_>.

They were able to bring together the smartest, most interesting 
group of people I've ever been put together with, my classmates,
with whom i shared the love for tech and code. 

Thanks to that and to the effort of our Master Coders i was able
to go through those intense 14-weeks with a smile on my face and come out 
not only with new career opportunities but a better 
and more resilient person.

I've been working as an IT consultant for the past 2.5 years now!
One of the best decisions I ever took!

I was in a really difficult time and choose this bootcamp as a last shot to start a new career. Some of the reasons that made me choose Academia de Código were (i) the application that already made me learn and feeling that would be possible for me to be a developer if get into it, (ii) the availability of computers on their part, which meant that I did not need to invest in something so expensive at that time and (iii) the financing options. But honestly, I did not know how I would pay when I finished. After an immersive and enriching experience, I was looked for by several companies and I went through a unique process in my life that was to choose where I wanted to work. I have won many friends and today I see how right was my choice.

About a couple years ago I threw myself head-first into some kind of crazy idea that consisted in letting go of a steady job of seven years and moving inland without earning any kind of money or having any time for myself during three and a half months to learn how to code in <Academia de Código_>'s bootcamp without any guarantee that I'd have a job in the end. Incredibly it was one of the best decisions in my life and at the same time one of the hardest things I ever did. After a huge breakdown, of suffering a lot looking at a blank screen while it seemed like everyone's fingers around me danced away over their keyboards writing endless lines of code, of several nights leaving the Academia at one in the morning only to return at nine thirty to attend the lectures, of being twenty four hours without sleeping in a Hackathon, of spending less time with my wife in those three and a half months than when we were three hundred kilometers apart, I now got a job in the area, live 5 minutes away from my place of employement and everyday I use my head and learn a little more. And the best thing about all this? This is only the beginning of an awesome, long ride. Thanks to the Academia and everyone in it for the amazing opportunity and making me believe that <Igor>"Só acaba quando termina".</Igor> Onwards and upwards!

I applied to <Academia de Código_> on a whim. I had no career prospects, no finished college degree and honestly very little faith in myself left after a couple of years at a dead-end job.
That all changed once I met this group of unbelievable people, after all, learning how to code in 14 weeks is no easy task, but they somehow made it the best 14 weeks of my life. 
The classes are challenging and fast-paced, but no one gets left behind or judged, you learn how to code but you also learn how to think logically and how to express your ideas and solve problems in the best way possible. 
I started working on a job that I love, and despite my initial doubts, that I'm very good at, one week after finishing the bootcamp. 

<Academia de Código_> is more than just another coding bootcamp, it's a place you'll call home forever.

Bonsoir, my dear reader.

Have you ever felt that the world was against you? That you got no control on your life whatsoever? Maybe, even when you chose to do something meaningful with your life, that path never felt like the right one. Somehow something more was missing, am I right? I wonder why, some people, ask too many rhetorical questions about you on course reviews and never go straight to the point… Well, you are not alone on questioning yourself if you should take this course or not. I have been on that position myself, but fate already brought you here so, you really should consider to, at least, apply to this course, a decision you will not regret. Why?

On this course you will learn that stop learning is not an option. Every day you have to arrive on time or you will be invited to dance in front of your new and for life friends. The more you think “I got this”, the more mistakes will happen, and from those, serendipitously, you will start to see how things come together and how the Force of coding ignites from you. Of course, the lectures will be guided by highly trained professionals at spotting bad code from long distances, perceiving “WTF is that concept” faces from their peripheral vision, and to indulge you to get to know 10 friends of theirs: curiosity and empathy.They will show you the idiosyncrasy of solving problems that you never thought of and they will help you understand how to tackle them, whenever you need them to do so.

Do not deceive yourself into thinking that you have no talent, that you do not know anything about how to code, that you are no good at math, that you are worthless. You are reading this because the world needed you to be, as you are now, considering taking this course. If you are really willing to make a change for you and your life, if you imagine yourself battling to bring out the best of you, rebuilding anew the way you perceive and take action, you should give yourself a chance and apply to this course. We never know, but you might be the one who will make a life changing impact on someone. As they did for me, they will give you all the necessary tools to fearlessly overcome the obstacles ahead, with the embodied hope that anyone should hope for:     

                        <Everyone should have an equal opportunity to make the difference._>

This is like a big familly in which you learn everything you need to become a very decent full stack junior web developer. In this bootcamp I did not only learned how to code, but also made great friends. The lectures are awesome and very well structured, mixing exercises and theory in a very ballanced way. I would recomend this to anyone who has a desire to change career or lifestyle, because it has definetly changed mine. 
Thank you Academia de Código!

This is an amazing, immersive and engaging learning experience. You will have the opportunity to learn from some of the industry's most dedicated and supportive people.  It is definitely challenging and will take you out of your comfort zone, but you will get all the fundamental knowledge to pursue a new career and an excellent base to start from.

The best decision I took in last years! Awesome support!

If you're looking for a regular 9 to 5 coding bootcamp this isn't for you... At <Academia de Código_> you will begin your day at 9am and finish Linus Torvalds knows when, so you better have the "I'm gonna be late" message on deck. If you're like Jon Snow and you don't know nothing about coding, worry not! You can go from Jon Snow to Azor Ahai in just 14 weeks. The only bad part is that I can only rate <Academia de Código_> 5 stars...

<Academia de Código_> 14 weeks bootcamp was for sure the best decision I ever made. The culture is so unique and  I made so many friendships and learned so much with this whole experience. Now I've a lot to thank to this wonderful team. Keep making such a positive impact on people's lives. 
If you're thinking to learn code and change your life choose <Academia de Código_> !!!

I was stuck in a dead-end job and starting to lose sight of my future. I had heard about <Academia de Código_> back in 2015, and finallly decided to apply in 2018.

Was it hard? Harder. It was the hardest thing I've done in my life. 
However, it paid out. I've made new friends, I've gained a family, but most importantly I've learned how to learn. I'm so thankful to our Master Coders in FUNdão, they are truly the best. Before, I had never even seen a single line of code. Yet, here I am, working as a Junior Consultant at Altran Portugal, and loving my job!

Thank you for giving me this opportunity, it literally changed my life.

I attended last year and it literally changed my life!
I got a job as a back-end developer on a great company as soon as I finished the Bootcamp! The teachers worked very hard, even after hours, to make sure no one gets behind. I recommend this Bootcamp to everyone who wants to learn how to code.
Thanks

<Academia de Código_> changed my life, it was the best experience I had in my life and totally reseted my life for a brand new and better one.

Even if you dont have money at the moment you can go to Fundão and pay later when you have the job.

The MC's are amazing and the environment is cool, you wont have any problems, besides drinking a lot of coffee hehehe, yeah its intensive but you will have the reward in the end, a pretty good damn reward.

That was a pretty important thing for me, since I was "lost" in my previous life.

so yeah hold your balls for 3 months and in the end you will be a happy programmer :)

It was a fantastic experience. From the bootcamp application to job enrolment, I felt accompanied through the entire process.

The instructors were helpful, very knowledgeable and amazingly patient. The bootcamp has an awesome teaching philosophy that leaves you prepared for the job market, you might not leave knowing everything (ha!) but you'll come out prepared with the knowledge to learn how to face any ordeal. It promises to turn you into a software developer and it delivers.

I don't regret it for a second, changed my life. Highly recommended!

I heavily recommend this enriching experience. It's 14 weeks of pure dedication, but it's well worth it! :)
