Founded in Portugal in 2015, <Academia de Código_> is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. <Academia de Código_> describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.
<Academia de Código_>'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.
At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the <Academia de Código_> website.
Truly a life changing experience that I am grateful to have embraced!
After finishing my master thesis in Environmental Engineering about smart cities I felt the need to learn more about programming. And that is how I found Academia de Código!

It is a one life time experience that will boost your life forever and you will be in the front line by the time you finish. Embrace it, dive deep in it, live it and make the most out of it!
..that's what my bootcamp @ <Academia de Código_> helped me do!
Let me tell you a bit of my story:
I grew up in Évora (Alentejo) > attended university in Lisbon (Management + Public Administration) > worked in Lisbon (1,5 years) > realized Lisbon's life style was not for me > moved to Beja (Alentejo) > spent 8 months searching for a job > did a 9 months internship + worked in accounting (10 months) > then it finally hit me, my inner voice tol...

And I did :)
My twin brother had attended this bootcamp 1 year before and, because of it, I knew I had the right mindset to become a programmer, so..
I applied to <Academia de Código_>'s (AC, for short) bootcamp without ever studying anything remotely close to programming. I did use and knew how to use several programs but I had no real knowledge of any programming language.
I solved their challenge and got a golden ticket to one of their workshop! YAY!
But I was so nervous that I f#$%ed up and got turned down. They asked me to go to a second workshop though..
..but, to attend that one I had to miss a trip to Peru (see ya some other time Machu Pichu..!) but I studied hard and worked to improve and I passed! I WAS IN :D
I was so happy to have finally found a bootcamp that taught just like I enjoyed learning.
The room is different, the teachers are different, everything is different... in a good way! You FEEL like you CAN BE YOUR AWKAWARD SELF. Nobody says anything if you don't go BUT YOU WAN'T TO GO EVERY DAY. Every day is exhausting BUT YOU ARE THERE THE NEXT MORNING. This.. my friends, is called PASSION.
This is what I found in AC_'s bootcamp, my passion for programming.
I also found myself explaining every solution to my peers, I WANTED them to FIND what I did and I tried my best to be understood.
AC_'s staff is: helpful, understanding, make you feel comfortable and they ALWAYS MAKE SURE that you learned the lesson.
Stop reading the reviews, stop searching, YOU FOUND IT.
Apply to one of <Academia de Código_>'s bootcamps right now!
IT
WILL
CHANGE
YOUR
LIFE
I know mine did ;D
Have a great day!

I came from a totally different background and I realized that thanks to <Academia de Código_> I have learned to think properly. They provide you with both the technical skills and the mindset needed to succed in as a Fullstack Web Developer. You learn all the main tools, frameworks and libraries that are nowadays essential to every developer. You gain culture about this amazing technologic world that we live in and you become able to talk about code even to a child or a grandmother!...

You really have to live, eat and breathe code for 14 weeks but you really feel that everyone get your back! They make it fun, challeging, rewarding and while learning and making friends, you trully feel that you get back all the effort you put in! Sometimes you cannot realize during the process, like it happened to me and some other coleagues, but when you're in the real world, you're ready to shine like the code rockstar they teach you how to become!
I've been taught by people that had power to share their programming passion to others, all the good ways to develop freakin awesome code, always ready to help and talk and I could be here the whole day saying only good things about this family that I earned. I ain't say that it was easy because it's far from that.
I was happily part of the 7th <AC_> Bootcamp in Fundao!
Had a great feeling about it since the first moment when decided to apply! Everything was based on hard work, from the selection process to the successful market integration afterwards.
The program was carefully created and crafted by amazing great professionals and delivered by a great team of individuals, in which, even them, were the direct result of <AC_> extraordinary methods!

I felt that I've learned a LOOOOTTTT in a very short time, was able to dispute head to head interviews against bachelors and masters in Computer Science for Software Development roles and, in no moment felt less prepared!
Be mindful, however, that practice makes perfection, its no miracle and demands a lot of effort, curiosity and long hours from your side if you plan to choose this path!
As a career changer myself, with a very specific goal in mind, I can clearly state that I have done one of the best decisions in my life when choosing <AC_>!
I was skeptical about <A/C_> when I first heard of it. The more I looked, the more I got convinced it was the thing to do, but once I got there all my expectations were exceeded. Expecting it to be some boring classes like every other course I had taken, it is the polar opposite. You learn by having fun, when you make a question the answer is not immediate, you're pushed to think for yourself and find it.

I was skeptical about <A/C_> when I first heard of it. The more I looked, the more I got convinced it was the thing to do, but once I got there all my expectations were exceeded. Expecting it to be some boring classes like every other course I had taken, it is the polar opposite. You learn by having fun, when you make a question the answer is not immediate, you're pushed to think for yourself and find it. Apply your new learned skills in small projects every week, and then learn to work as a team with bigger creative projects and a final 24 hour hackathon, which will be unforgettable.
Fourteen weeks that will change your life!
from 0 to Fullstack remote software develloper working, from Portugal to Denmark!!!
Nothing more to say...They even found me a job within few days of finishing tge bootcamp.
Did you ever thought of wanting to learn to code? and didn't want to go trought the hasle of going to a University, well Going to<AcademiadeCódigo_> teach me to code not just well but cleanly. Their teaching is just perfect, each step in a time, start small then going bigger and just at the right moment they test us with great challenges.
Loved to take their bootcamp!
