PeterStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceAffordable bootcamp with a huge flexibility in schedule!
Started this course a month ago after a long break from learning to code. The Flexible schedule and self-paced learning is what convinced me to join this bootcamp. The curriculum is challenging. You do need to put in some effort to learn. There is a lot of content to digest. If you can dedicate a good chunk of time outside of work, you can finish the course in 7-8 months.- HenriqueStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
You'll have everything you need to become a master of full stack
Super rich content, their curriculum is amazing. Far more in depth than other free online courses. The mentors are helpful and smart, they know the content extremely well. I would be lost trying to learn on my own. I have only done very basic programming before, no website development experience. - ThorstenStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I'm loving it
I'm currently in the middle of the Full Stack Developer Course and I'm loving it.
I have learned so much and I am already able to build useful applications for my professional and casual things. It's online, self paced, and affordable, what's not to like about it? - JorgeStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineJan 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Structured and well defined program
Before joining Altcademy, I read many reviews and compared their pricing with other similar programs. It turns out they were actually the most affordable. Then I compared their curriculum and support with other programs, the material coverage is very similar to the well known bootcamps. Altcademy provides less face time, but after contacting a couple alumni on linkedin, they said the included office hours were enough to last through the whole duration.

Then I compared their curriculum and support with other programs, the material coverage is very similar to the well known bootcamps. Altcademy provides less face time, but after contacting a couple alumni on linkedin, they said the included office hours were enough to last through the whole duration. Altcademy seems to be a middle ground between the more expensive bootcamps and the cheaper self-learning courses. I have now gone through 2 out of 7 courses of the program. The curriculum is beginner level and very well written. It has both auto graded assignments and more in-depth mentor graded assignments. Feedback from my mentor have been very helpful. I am really enjoying my time here. - MarkStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineJan 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
affordable and good
My decision to pursue a coding bootcamp is influenced by a desire to improve my job prospects. I am working and don't want to quit my job to join a fulltime bootcamp. So I chose an online part time bootcamp to learn at my own pace and continue working. I am happy with this decision, I am now studying 15-18hrs a week, about 2 hours on work days, and 3-5 hours on days I don't work. I just finished the first course on HTML and CSS and I am happy with the experience so far. - CaseyStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Get the support you need
I chose Altcademy for the price and the support. After studying part-time for 7 months, I am about 80% through the curriculum. It is really an amazing experience and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to learn web development but does not have the luxury to pay 10k or sign an ISA. My mentor is responsive, helpful and smart. The content is good, complete, and detailed. The exercises are fun and challenging. I am now working on the rails course and learning to build APIs.

There is so much more to learn, but I now know what it would take and I know I can do it. - WesleyStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
great experience!
I am currently taking the fullstack program, and it is very challenging yet satisfying. I was impressed with the curriculum and can confidently say that they have one of the best content out there. The mentors are very responsive and helpful, which I really appreciate. Great experience! - ChrisStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
So much resources for such an affordable price
I chose this course because I had a budget I had to adhere to. I really like that there are so many learning tools available for such an affordable price. There is an AI code debugger which is super helpful, a coding exercise platform, a Q&A platform with lots of questions from other students. The material is very beginner friendly, and I learned a lot of practical knowledge. There were a lot of exercises and assignments that really increased my understanding of the topics taught.

If you are committed and put in the work you will learn a lot of useful web development skills.
Pros: very affordable, beginner friendly, lots of exercises and assignments, online and remote, self-paced learning. - MiguelStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Overall great
Before joining Altcademy, I had taken some online courses on JavaScript, HTML and CSS. It was a struggle going through most of them, and I lacked motivation at some point. So I thought it's time to buckle down and learn how to code. I also thought it's good to have some mentorship to keep me on track. My research led me to Altcademy. Overall, the program is great. I really like the way it is taught, and a flexible schedule is essential for me, so I can go at my own pace. - JoannaStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 20, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Beginner-friendly, comprehensive curriculum, and very helpful and responsive mentors.
I really enjoyed learning web development at Altcademy. The best part is the support from the mentors and the quality of the curriculum. The curriculum is updated periodically, and you will have access to the latest content no matter when you signed up. - SchneurStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 13, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
The same curriculum as all the other bootcamps, minus the huge hole in your wallet.
I compared different online bootcamp options before selecting Altcademy, and they were mostly in the 10-20k USD range. I spent time going through Altcademy's curriculum, and their reviews, to make my decision. Altcademy's curriculum is almost exactly the same as all the other bootcamp's curriculum. I won't go into details about the curriculum as it is not something everyone needs to know. But the highlights are, part tutorials, part projects, and part exercises. Lots of exercises.

Altcademy provides less live support than the more expensive bootcamps, but slack chat and 7 hours of office hours should be enough to get anyone through the whole program. There really isn't a need to shell out 10 to 20k unless you need that "job guarantee". - Tushar HoqueStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 03, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
This bootcamp is for everyone
Altcademy is a bootcamp that allows its students work remotely and, on their time, and pace. The material is quite comprehensive and challenging at the same time, but it is worth learning. There are a lot of assignments and projects that you can use to improve your skills as a programmer and as an overall thinker. I think this bootcamp is best for people that want a career change without having to make any significant changes to their life. Whether they are a beginner or an intermediate,...Altcademy is a bootcamp that allows its students work remotely and, on their time, and pace.
