    Great School for getting into the Tech Industry!

    Bay Valley Tech is a great school if you want to learn Coding and start your career in Tech! BVT has helped me grow as a Software Developer on top of my CIS degree from CSU Stan! Phillip Lan is a Great President for the school and has helped my Brother and I land several job opportunities! And I can't thank Phil and BVT enough for what they have done for my career!

    Amazing bootcamp!

    Bay Valley Tech is a great opportunity for anyone wanting to get into the tech industry! The instructors are absolutely incredible at what they do to gain skills in coding and digital skills. I came into the bootcamp with little experience prior yet learned so much less than a year. I enhanced my skills in photoshop, HTML, CSS, and much more certifications. It’s also a great opportunity for anyone to do part time remotely which gave me a balance between my current job and learning new sk...

    Great opportunity to learn about Web Development and Coding!

    Bay Valley Tech is an amazing group of experienced coders and web designers that have devoted their efforts to help fellow aspiring programmers make it into the job market. The community is very friendly and inviting, and I've had an incredible time learning from these instructors. At the end of the internship, several resume workshops are hosted so that you have the best chance for success. Also, numerous opportunities to meet potential employers. Overall, it's been a great experience a...

    Pretty good opportunity

    Above all else it is difficult to beat Bay Valley Tech in terms of pricing. It is a free program after all! From getting into the program for nothing to ending with a paid internship, you are undeniably getting more value than you paid for. For me that was enough

    And so for being free and open to all it is difficult to judge it's shortcomings too harshly. They are juggling a lot of students with a limited number of instructors and so if you're on...

    BVT Review

    The coding academy is alright since it's free, so you can't really complain about anything not being up to par but a lot of documents and paperwork don't get processed and you have to constantly bug the staff to get things done. It provides a basic structure to what you should learn but you should really be learning on your own alongside the bootcamp. The staff seems to be stretched too thin because there was one instance where one teacher was teaching 3 cohorts and he couldn't answer a ...

    Engaging Friendly Teamwork

    I believe this Code Academy does well in teaching the fundamentals of Front-end Design. The issue arises with backend. The module 4 curriculum feels bare and lacking in sufficient resources to learn backend. Most backend curriculum feels like learning on your own with very little resources. In terms of Job Assistance it does well with have resume workshops and networking events. Even having the interns do challenges with people in the workforce. I would like to see more collaboration wit...

    Chill, adequate, disorganized

    Their internship pays 25 an hour if you are under 30 and live close to Stanislaus county. It took a few months to get the paperwork done because they are very disorganized and I had to go in person to make sure things are going well.
    The work is chill and not bad but the instructors were asking for curriculum improvements which was concerning. Overall the teaching is okay but could be better if they had industry experience.
    Job wise it’s quite difficult. This is good for having a p...

    Experience with the Code Academy and Internship

    Bay Valley Tech has been an exceptionally helpful program for me as someone who graduated with a CS degree but didn't actively pursue a career in it immediately after university. Between the Code Academy giving me a refresher on the fundamentals of programming as well as introducing me to the tools and workflows used in web development, and the Internship providing me great experience working within a team using Git/GitHub and Agile methodology, I feel like Bay Valley Tech has really giv...

    Decent

    Gets you a paid internship if you are in an approved county, instruction is subpar but most info taught can be found online anyways and the internship is pretty chill. Instructors and faculty are nice and will help you when they can, the biggest issue is that the faculty is disorganized and has serious communication issues. Can take weeks to get a response from staff
