Burlington Code Academy has a wonderful student-to-teacher (and teaching assistant) ratio. I never felt like I was lost in a sea of information - there was always someone right there to offer support. Their career counseling program was way more than I expected and defiantly a reason to choose BCA over other coding bootcamps.- Botur KosimiFreelance programmer • Graduate • JavaScript After Hours (Part-Time) • OnlineJun 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Upright Education Bootcamp
Before I started the Upright Education(formerly Burlington Code Academy) Software Development Bootcamp, I knew nothing about coding. Honestly, I wouldn’t have said I was good at using computers in general. I had a few close friends suggest I might be a good engineer and that I should look into it. I was ready for a career change and enrolled with Upright Education in February 2022.

Honestly, I wouldn’t have said I was good at using computers in general. I had a few close friends suggest I might be a good engineer and that I should look into it. I was ready for a career change and enrolled with Upright Education in February 2022. It was a totally new world that I stepped into but the material was exciting and every day had something new to learn. Between lectures, labs, workshops, and weekly assignments, there were various ways to absorb the material, which is helpful for people with different learning styles. I really appreciated that every week built off of the previous one, providing context for the material but also allowing more time to absorb some of the more difficult concepts.Although the pace is intense, and concepts difficult to start, the staff was always willing to help, even outside of class hours. The true value of this program is provided not by the curriculum but by the instructors, TA’s, and staff. They were seemingly infinite sources of knowledge but also really solid people who wanted everyone to succeed. I easily recommend Upright Education as the best place to start for anyone trying to get into coding as a career. - Shadman AhmedGraduate • Software Development Bootcamp • OnlineMar 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Staff is very helpful
The instructors and TAs here are very understanding and actually genuinely want to help you succeed when they see you struggling. Even though I was in a cohort of 10 other students I still felt like I was getting good individual attention for both my projects and job assistance. - Korey WithamGraduate • Software Development Bootcamp • OnlineSep 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The course is definitely designed to be challenging but I never felt there was too much work for the time allotted for any given project, you just have to put your nose to the grindstone and put in an extra hour or two here and there when necessary. They have provided us with excellent resources to continue to grow from here on out and I look forward to see where my journey may go from here.

It helped build upon and refine a coder's mindset with weekly assignments, labs, and lectures. Being a person who learns best through hands on projects, this course pushed us past our comfort zone forcing us to learn and retain concepts through constant reinforcement by either labs or projects. I would highly highly recommend this course to anyone who has any interest in web/software development. - AdamStudent • OnlineJul 01, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The amount of effort they put into the course and the support provided is evident from the very beginning. Anyone who is interested in a bootcamp that will teach them the fundamentals of web development and to a lesser degree software engineering should check out Burlington Code Academy. More importantly, BCA teaches you how to consume technical documentation quickly and apply it immediately which is arguably the most valuable skill starting out in the industry.
The JS, HTML, CSS, and Server (nodeJS and Express) portion of the bootcamp are all excellent and will provide a great foundational understanding of how to build a full-stack application. My one big critique about the program and it does come with a caveat (as this is my personal experience) is that they chose to teach a NoSQL database called MongoDB instead of SQL. After graduating from the program and applying and interviewing for jobs as a software/web developer I overwhelmingly saw the need to understand SQL. Almost every job I applied to required SQL or a basic understanding of SQL. Every now and then I saw MongoDB/NoSQL but it was few and far between and usually also listed SQL along side it. I am not sure what the reasoning behind pushing a NoSQL curriculum (perhaps because the db using an object like data architecture which is familiar to someone learning JS) but I highly recommend for anyone looking to become a full-stack developer to learn the basics of SQL.
To close out my review, I highly recommend BCA as a bootcamp because you will get exactly what you pay for and access to such an amazing alumni network! The staff and instructors are great. My one big critique is mostly tied to my own anecdotal experiences applying for jobs after graduating and I am sure everyone has their own opinion. With that said its a top program and I came into with very little technical background and landed a job in the industry within a month after graduation. I am thankful for everything BCA has provided and hope they continue to grow!
APPLY to BCA - you will not regret it, I sure didn't.

UX Design Bootcamp
Having dabbled with the idea of a much needed career change for the last couple of years, I decided at the start 2021 to finally take the leap. Enrolling in Burlington Code Academy’s UX program turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made to date. I previously completed a 4-year degree at Parsons, and had some concerns over whether or not a 12 week program would provide a level of preparedness to successfully embark in a new field.

Enrolling in Burlington Code Academy’s UX program turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made to date. I previously completed a 4-year degree at Parsons, and had some concerns over whether or not a 12 week program would provide a level of preparedness to successfully embark in a new field. Now that I have completed the UX program at BCA, I can confidently say that I feel more than prepared for new opportunities. I would highly recommend the program to anyone interested in UX or UI.
It's incredibly unique how the course is specifically tailored to the students taking it, regardless of their background. Throughout the 12-weeks (and beyond) it is clear that our instructor Rick, and all of the BCA staff were truly there to support student success. With thorough daily lessons and UI challenges/ critiques, we were provided with a strong backbone to aid in our 9-week Capstone project. For our project I worked in a team of 6, to design from scratch a financial literacy iOS app for an awesome client. Working with a real client and gaining legitimate UX experience to add to my new CV was invaluable. The bootcamp offered a really fantastic balance of allowing our team independence and the opportunity to problem solve- while also having assistance available where needed. In a short amount of time, I think it is pretty remarkable what I and my team achieved and I am proud to showcase my work as I begin my career search. The course was certainly intensive and not without its challenges, but in the end more than worth the time, effort and cost.

This course is tough and rigorous but like with any good program, you get out what you put into it. The staff is extremely helpful with everything from outside-class assistance (like tutoring and group code-alongs), to job assistance after the course which is so crucial. I only wish I had more time there to soak up and cover even more material but I think the amount of knowledge you walk away with after 3 months is pretty astonishing.
