Life Changing Experience
Academia de Código is a big family thanks to their amazing team of instructors and their willingness to change people's lives. The best code teachers out there are all here. They make every subject fun and interesting and that's why I believe they are the best programming school in Portugal. I had misgivings before starting the bootcamp and it turned out to be the best decision of my life. I got a job right away when I finished. - Daniel PinhoSoftware Developer • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInJan 17, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Become a full stack
The best 14 weeks where you live and breathe code. They help you earn softskils and put you in touch with companies to find work. It was spectacular one of my best experiences.

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!

Get a job 1,5 months after I finished the bootcamp
When you decide to give a try do do this, you have to get in mind that you are betting "14week of your life" for a WIN.
My advice, enjoy everyday in bootcamp, it will be "f***ing" hard for everyone. Don't worry to be beind the others, worry about enjoy the everyday's learning. - Daniel IgrejaSystems Analyst • Student • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInNov 19, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life changing
In 14 weeks, from not knowing a single line of work to a fully prepared full stack dev.
They promise and they deliever. Of course, you need to put in time, hard work and a good ammout of patience.
But if you are willing to you'll never forget your experience at the Academy.
I started working 2 weeks after the bootcamp, and I felt fully prepared when I start working.
Everything you read is true. This does change your life, - Pedro Silva

A Life-Changing Experience
For those interested in programming and looking for a change in their lives, this is the right opportunity. It will be tough and challenging, but hey, nothing that's easy in life would be really worth it in the end.
You'll learn more than you think, make friendships for life and get a new perspective about the future.
Even after the end of the bootcamp, the given support until you get a job is amazing. You'll never be alone. - Miguel PiedadeGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInAug 10, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Extremely rewarding for those willing to put in the work
The bootcamp provides an extremely well-thought out and focused curriculum, as well as a fostering community (staff and colleagues). The intense work rhythm, allied with the "learn to learn" mentality, was the perfect way to fully dive into the programming world, with the true reward being becoming confident to face any future challenges with positivity, resilience and resourcefulness. - Tomás TenreiroGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInJul 21, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A unique experience to learn coding while loving it, without any particular IT background
I've attended this bootcamp in the start of 2021 in the midst of the pandemic, which for me resulted in a full remote experience.
Even with that handicap I had a great experience.
This is because Academia de Código adapts in each iteration to the group and current technologies.
