Great place to learn, waste of money if you're looking for a job

A Life-Changing Experience
Attending <Academia de Código_> was one of the best and most life-changing experiences I had in life. The course is very thorough - it's not for the faint-hearted. You put in the work, and get back the job. It's a 14-weeks intensive course, but I had my first job offer at one of the Big Four by week 13! That's why it's so respectable.
Everyone is so nice, intelligent and funny! It feels like you get into a best-selling sci-fi movie from day one.

It's hard! Sure... But if you don't understand something, the <Master Coders> will guide you through to that light-bulb in no time! And the best part of it all is that they never leave you afterwards. It's your home for life. - Alexandre VazGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonNov 12, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best way to learn
Simply the best bootcamp ever. I never really liked studying, but <Academia de Código_> makes you learn in a way I've never seen before. Everything they teach is totally useful and applies easily to any type of software development environment. They teach you how to programming regardless of language. I feel happy and supported like a family, I never imagined such a place. I am very grateful for all of you! Changed my life! - André RajaSoftware Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonNov 11, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing
All the experience was incredible!
I'm from an utterly different area and so many times I thought I would fail, but every instructor always had a friend word to cheer me up.
I assume that it was really difficult. I'd never been in a bootcamp before and I had no idea about how intense it is, but I did it!
Now I am employed and discovered that my empoyeer admitted a lot of graduated students from Academia de Código - what proves the excellence.

Life changing
Started with zero experience, got out as a real programmer. More than learning code languages or stack, Academia de Código teaches you to think like a programmer. Definitely a life changing experience.
Been working as a programmer for the last 5 years, grew from an intern developer to a tech lead. - Miguel FerreiraSenior Tech Consultant • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonNov 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A lifeboat for your professional life
Definitely the best decision I made at a professional level. When you think that you no longer have options, you don't have professional stability, you don't know where to turn, <Academia de Código_> arrives like a lifeboat and gives you the opportunity you really need!
It takes effort, no doubt, but you leave there more than prepared for the job market.
It took me a week to find work in one of the big four consulting firms and there is no money to pay this... - Ricardo AraújoWeb Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 05, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Believe: They know what to do
If you want to see the world in a special eyes, like a matrix dominator, and be a kind of superhero at the same time, this bootcamp is definitely for you.
An Amazing team with a "impossible project" in its hands: transform normal people into great coders. And that's what they do like no one else.
Try it. You will be surprised. - MireiaGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoJun 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Totally worth it
They don’t only teach you how to code but also how to solve problems and how to think towards programming, since programming is not only writting some lines of code, but also know how the language works, how everything should be structured, why was the language created, you will learned all that and more. All the tools around that programming language that you’ll need to properly develop.
I’m not going to lie, it’s 3 month and a half of non stop, it’s tiring and exhausting, but i...They don’t only teach you how to code but also how to solve problems and how to think towards programming, since programming is not only writting some lines of code, but also know how the language works, how everything should be structured, why was the language created, you will learned all that and more.
