    Coding opened my mind

    I would always say I want to learn programming, but I always found it too intimidating. But Altcademy's mentor support and structured curriculum helped me break the barrier and gave me confidence that I can become a programmer. I am now working on my final project, plus researching for jobs and preparing for interviews.

    Fun and engaging, often challenging

    I've been learning web development for a couple of years now, but I've always found my studies lacking structure and rigor. So I decided to give a bootcamp a try after hearing great things about Altcademy. 

    The program adopts an incremental approach where you build up on your previous skills. This is good since there's no risk of overwhelming beginners with a flood of advanced topics. Although I am not exactly a beginner, but I can see this program as being beginner friendly.

    Excellent curriculum, and awesome projects!

    I went with Altcademy because I wanted to learn how to build fullstack websites and needed some guidance. It's hard to find a bootcamp that is online, self paced, has mentor support, AND at an affordable price. And what I love even more is that I am not just learning how to code, I am learning how to think and problem solve like a software engineer! Altcademy's curriculum is so thorough and clear. The mentors are very friendly and almost always available. The projects they designed helpe...

    Affordable 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.

    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.

    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?

    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. Altcademy seems to be a middle grou...

    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.

    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 s...

    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...

    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.
