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.

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.

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 having a blast doing so. - Sérgio CarvalhoGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInMay 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing
A/C packs in a lot of content within 14 weeks, this means that there is are a lot of subjects to go through in a short amount of time, leading to the experience being exhaustive. However, A/C does cover everything you'll need to know to get started. No, you won't master anything - yet - 14 weeks isn't enough time to master one framework, let alone two languages, different paradigms within said languages and a whole bunch of frameworks.

However, A/C does cover everything you'll need to know to get started. No, you won't master anything - yet - 14 weeks isn't enough time to master one framework, let alone two languages, different paradigms within said languages and a whole bunch of frameworks. That being said, it's exactly the right amount to start a new career, because the resilience needed, the knowledge gained and the technical and inter-personal skills that are worked on along the bootcamp are more than enough to become a solid developer, which is the basis required for future growth. Learning is a process and A/C sets you up with everything you need for success.
In short, it's worth it if you can tough it out. The staff is amazing (both teaching and support staff) and careers are easily launched from there. Go for it. - Nuno Gil SilvaJunior Programmer • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInFeb 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Unforgettable Experience
The best opportunity to change your life. An unforgettable learning experience in the world of programming, in just three and a half months it is incredible what you can achieve. I was one of the lucky ones who went through this adventure and as soon as I finished I started my new working life. - José GraçaJúnior Consultant • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInFeb 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Amazing
If you want to change your life and become a developer, this is the way to go.
They really teach us a lot in those 14 weeks.
