Founded in 2012, App Academy is a global online coding bootcamp with a focus on software engineering. App Academy offers both full-time (24 weeks) and part-time (48 weeks) online options. Alumni have found Software Engineering roles at a range of start-ups and top tech companies.
App Academy's curriculum covers AI, SQL, JavaScript, Python, HTML, and CSS, in addition to state-of-the-art tools and web frameworks like ReactJS, Express, Flask, and SQL Alchemy. Working in a dynamic team environment, students will build complex web applications that will form the foundation of their portfolio.
App Academy’s goal is to ensure students not only land a full-time Software Engineering role, but also advance in their careers for years to come. Dedicated career coaches offer job search support ranging from mock technical/non-technical interviews and resume reviews, to connecting grads with App Academy's vast employer network. From there, App Academy's partnerships team connects graduates with some of the most prestigious tech companies in the industry.
After graduating college (2 years ago), I decided to pursue software engineering and taught myself through MOOCs, meetups, and attending small introductory workshops for people with a non-traditional tech background. It's safe to say that App Academy was by far the hardest yet most rewarding experience that I've had. I learned more in 3 weeks at aA than what I did in TWO YEARS of teaching myself.

After graduating college (2 years ago), I decided to pursue software engineering and taught myself through MOOCs, meetups, and attending small introductory workshops for people with a non-traditional tech background. It's safe to say that App Academy was by far the hardest yet most rewarding experience that I've had. I learned more in 3 weeks at aA than what I did in TWO YEARS of teaching myself.
The thing that I admire most about aA is that they push your limits, they prove to you what your true capabilities are.. and the TAs are there to support you every step of the way. I remember looking weeks ahead during instructional, thinking, "there's no way I could do that!!" yet when that week's assignment flew by, I realized how quickly I adapted to the pace of the curriculum and managed to complete what I initially thought was impossible.
Some tips: Follow the allotted time that they recommend for the homeworks and nightly assignments. If they give you a coding challenge and it says on the curriculum to take 45 minutes to complete it, STOP at the 45 minute mark! I know it can be easy to go over the time limit they suggest, and it might stress you out, but sacrificing your sleep IS NOT WORTH IT! You will struggle the day after, and it's crucial to be at the top of your game everyday.
This program isn't for everyone.. but if you know for a fact that this is something that you'd like to do and you're willing to devote yourself 100% for 3 months, then go for it! I absolutely loved it and would totally do it again!
