Life-changing, literal!
14 weeks of extreme educational and emotional intensity.
All the staff is extremely attentive and will give you all the support you need, as long as you are open to being helped.
The friendships could be incredible and the connections formed, completely out of what you ever thought possible in such a short time.

The friendships could be incredible and the connections formed, completely out of what you ever thought possible in such a short time.
It won't be easy, the idea is not to be! It will take commitment and hard attempts to understand and assimilate the content (which may often not come). Will you understand everything and be super great? No! But being persistent and not giving up is one of the skills that if you don't have, you will have.
I think the current location (at least in Lisbon), is complicated for many people and the facilities and equipment could be much better, taking into account the amount paid of 7,000€ per student.
The way the whole placement part, (i.e. getting you a job), is managed, I also don't think it is ideal for all people, since not everyone gets to the end at the same level. However, there is a job for everyone, whether it's during the bootcamp, soon after, or 1 or 2 months later... the opportunity will come!
- Ricardo FigueiredoFull Stack Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInJun 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best decision ever!
Pros - Culture, Empowerment, Technical knowledge of teachers, Sylabus, Job Placement.
Cons - A little messy on MAC setups which can easily be fixed.
Pro Tip - You really have to be able to let go your personal life for the full duration of the course, otherwise you will turn the hardmode on! - Adler AraujoFull Stack Developer • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInMay 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best decision of my life!
I was feeling lost and unhappy with my career. I was encouraged by a friend to join the Academia de Código and that was the best decision of my life. In a short time I was able to enter a job market with a huge potential for professional growth. I feel safe to move on to whatever area I want. I highly recommend the Academia de Código. - Nuno TeixeiraTech Junior Programmer • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by GitHubMay 30, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Unique experience
I already had a degree on Computer Science, but was still kinda "green", so I gave a shot at <Academia de Código_> and I gotta say it was worth. In just 14-Weeks I got to know the concepts of programming and what was missing me in that degree; they never quitted on us until we knew everything. It was an unique experience. - DiogoTechnical Analyst • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInMay 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing bootcamp
I loved the experience, the environment and the way the subjects are approached. Every step we take, we have to think about it alone before solving it, and that really helps to get in the "mindset of a programmer". The placement team does an amazing job, and keep a close relationship with all the students.
- IgorGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInMay 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceA unique experience, completely immersive, where you have all the support and guidance to achieve your goal! I am completely satisfied with the results I have achieved and would recommend the <Academia de Código_> to anyone who is looking to chart a new path in life.
- Pros:
Well-planned course structure;
A strong body of instructors;
All kinds of support, during and after the course;
Excellent learning environment; - RitaGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by GitHubMay 18, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
From noobie to full stack developer
I always wanted to learn programming but thought it was a too big world of information. Until discovering <Academia de Código_> and realizing that it is possible. In just 14 weeks we go from noobie to full stack developer. Amazing experience. Highly recommended. - João Ortiz14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInMay 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
It really is intensive
After 7 years as a digital Marketing consultant, I felt a strong need to change my path.
Academia de Código allowed me to do that. A strong body of instructors allied with a great go-get atitude was what I was needing to pursue a career as a programmer.
I wanna thank everyone there that made me feel better especially in those days when you just feel stupid. - Vítor Miguel AmaralJunior Python Developer • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInMay 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I've always wanted to program, but I never could image what I would learn here, not only about programming but about how to approach problems in general. Not only did I feel confident and ready to work after the 14 weeks the bootcamp lasted, I also developed in ways to communicate with others, deal with time constraints, and working with all kinds of people, but also made great friends.
Strongly advise to anyone who wants to learn to program and learn how to learn how to program, and...I've always wanted to program, but I never could image what I would learn here, not only about programming but about how to approach problems in general.

Strongly advise to anyone who wants to learn to program and learn how to learn how to program, and having a blast doing so.
