Actualize is an online software engineering bootcamp based in Chicago that offers part-time and full-time bootcamp options. Instructors with professional educational experience teach students full stack web development including Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, VueJS, SQL, and Git. The Online Live classes are conducted in real time with video conferencing. Actualize has a deeply integrated “Job Hacking” curriculum focused on the personal branding and networking skills necessary to land a new job, which Actualize feels is just as important as learning to code.
To apply, students can submit an application via the website, then go through a series of two interviews with an admissions advisor. There are no coding challenges, but students must complete 4 weeks of prework before the program starts.
After the program, students have the option to join its unique Career Support program, which contains additional training for Job Hacking, a job accountability group, and team projects to add to one’s portfolio.
I'm very happy that I decided to pursue the Actualize program!
I had looked into, and was accepted into, three different programs: Actualize, Northwestern and Fullstack Academy. Not only did Actualize have the best ratings (rightfully so), they also fit my budget and my schedule.
Peter was a great instructor, combining his history of teaching and love of code to make lessons engaging, funny and informative. The program is challenging, but if you dedicate time and effort in...
I'm very happy that I decided to pursue the Actualize program!

Peter was a great instructor, combining his history of teaching and love of code to make lessons engaging, funny and informative. The program is challenging, but if you dedicate time and effort into improving, you will. The most important aspect of a bootcamp, and Actualize specifically, is that they teach you how to learn. I fiddled around with code for a few months by myself and got nowhere... it's so hard to know where to start! But with Actualize, they eased you into the program, and you were creating RESTful CRUD apps in week one.
What you learn in a bootcamp is "tip of the iceberg", web development is ever changing and evolving, but I know I have the skills necessary to tackle any new programming language and framework I set my mind to learn.
Thanks Peter, Jay, and Actualize!
