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.

Actualize (formerly Anyone Can Learn To Code) is a part-time, 3-month web development bootcamp and apprenticeship with cohorts in Chicago, NYC, and San Francisco that costs $13,500. The program consists of three months of in-class training followed by placement in their web development agency, The Difference Engine. After the Sundays-and-weeknights training program, graduates spend up to four months as part-time developers with The Difference Engine building projects for clients, gaining real-world experience and creating portfolios that will be impressive to prospective employers.
Program is great for people who either don't work, work part time, or have jobs that allow them to work on class material outside of class. Out of 14 people, the five people who really excelled in the class fell into one of the categories previoulsy mentioned. The people who work full time had a more difficult time because the class moves very quickly and takes place Sunday from 9:00am - 5:00pm, Monday - Thursday 6:00pm - 9:30pm, with homework that is required on to be done either Friday or Saturday, and every day builds on concepts from the previous day. So if you have a bad day or two, have a busy week at work, need to travel, or any other conflicting priorities there is a good chance you may fall behind with limited opportunities to catch up. Also, do research on job placement because our class has talked with several students from previous classes who still haven't found jobs. The marketing materials claim it's in the 90-something percentile, online reviews state it's actually somewhere within the 60-something percetile, and having talked to previous classes indicates it's within the 50-something percentile so it is a bit of a risk to spend $13,500 with a 50%-65% chance of finding employment after.
