    ACA Review

    I have a lot of great things to say about ACA, but want to leave an honest review for other individuals like myself who are looking to take courses in coding. 

    First off the entire factulty and staff is awesome. If you're looking for 1:1 attention this is the place for you. They make sure every issue, question, and conern is addressed. 

    I've taken all three classes. The intro class was fantastic. Learned a ton, the instructor and the TA were great too. They really did e...

    A Great Education

     

    I love Austin Coding Academy.  I just finished the front end intro course and had an overwhelmingly positive experience.  The teacher, Erik, is a hilarious guy who is also great at his job.  He presents the subject matter in a way that's easy to understand.  Jake, the TA, is a super nice guy who is always willing to help.  Erik’s classes were very organized and well thought out.  In class, we learned about one subject a d...

    Become a Software Engineer

    I love Austin Coding Academy and can not say enough good things about them!  ACA not only teaches you Full-Stack Web Development, but also provides you with crucial skills to aide you in finding a job upon (or even before) graduation.

    During my time there, ACA offered field trips to hot tech companies in Austin actively hiring, networking events, job fairs, and resume and interview workshops.  Not only did I learn skills like whiteboarding and how to interview...

    An incredible, hands-on experience

    The instructors at ACA are very knowledgeable and truly enjoy teaching.
    10/10, Would recommend to anyone in the Austin area wanting to get into coding. I went into the course knowing very little about coding, and after only the introductory course, I was already applying to jobs in the tech industry.

    This is an amazing place! Highly Recommended!

    I have completed both the intro and intermediate course at Austin Coding Academy (Austin Campus) and it has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. 

    In 20 weeks I have gone from knowing some VERY limited HTML( I knew what a few tags were) to being able to design an interactive, good looking, web page with HTML, CSS and JavaScript. 

    I understand the fundamentals of computer programming and have developed a passion for learning multiple langua...

    ACA is simply the most bang for your buck out there. I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to go through their 3-tier program. I recommend it to anyone interested in learning web development!

    Becoming a Developer using ACA

    I came in to Austin Coding Academy's course with a feeling that the things I had been learning on my own were missing some large fundamentals and I was right. Austin Coding Academy helped me understand every step of the process for making a website not just the coding language. Luke and Chris, the founders, go above and beyond for the students and alumni by offering more than just qualified teachers. Students are given every chance to succeed with office hours, study groups and one-on-one ...

    Program Review

    I researched many schools in the Austin area before choosing the Austin Coding Academy.  The reason I chose them was because they offered the best quality at an exceptional price.  I come from a Finance background and I have never worked in IT before. The intro course is very informative and detailed.  As soon as you begin classes the school brings in guest speakers and IT recruiters.  I love the field trips we take as well.  Halfway thru my Intro course the career services team placed me ...

    Wonderful School!

    This is a great school that puts students first. All instructors are professional developers and learning from their experience is tremendously useful. This school requires a lot of work, so I wouldn't recommend it unless you're dedicated to working hard and really want to become a developer.

    Great learning experience!

    I entered the UX/Freelance track already having a background in web design.  This track has helped me to improve my skills and bring them current.  I have also learned new skills and applications that will definitely help me be more successful.  The instructors and staff are great and I couldn't have chosen a better program to be in!
