Code Fellows Reviews
- You get what you pay for!- 1/25/2021Alex Pena • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Part-Time) • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubI did a ton of research before deciding on what boot camp to attend. As an employed graduate of Code fellows I can say that I more than happy with the time and money spent. Code fellows not only taught me how to be a software engineer but also taught me how to be successful within the industry and be an asset to whoever I get to collaborate with.
I had no experience with any language of code and basic computer knowledge. The way the curriculum is setup the pace was challenging but had a great mix of different topics that were equally important in becoming a great developer.
I was able to take advantage of the schools network for job searching and had a job as a backend engineer within 6 months after graduating. Its not easy but if you willing to put it everything you have I promise you will get out exactly what you put into it.
- Great Experience- 12/22/2020Kevin McNeil • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Full-Time) • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInCode Fellows was an amazing experience, it was 5 months of long days, several hours and a lot of work, but in the end its all worth it, i have been prepared for a career in the tech industry
- Join the Code Fellows Family- 12/1/2020Marchael Acode • Full Stack Java Software Developer • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Java with SpringMVC & Android • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubIf you are considering the Code Fellows program, I encourage you to apply. Through the six month program, I learned more valuable material than I did in a four year college. For people new to the tech world like myself, getting through the course was not an easy task. The program was a gruelling process, filled with sleepless nights and frustration, but the light at the end of the tunnel is well worth it. My understanding and progression of software development was exponential and I am eager to keep learning more. When the lecture was over, we went straight into the lab work where TAs and instructors will assist you with any assignments you are having trouble with or questions you had. It didn't matter if the question was easy or hard to answer, the Code Fellows instructional staff stood by you till you had a better understanding of the topic. Code Fellows not only teaches you about software development, but also the requirements needed to land that job position. During their career coaching sessions, you will be updating your resume to the level of their requirements, connecting you with developers from various companies and preparing you for any situation during a tech interview. Even after graduating from the program, Code Fellows has a career accelerated option where they support you and connect you to multiple tech companies to help guide through the struggles of finding the job. The only thing that would have made the experience better is if we could have gone into the Code Fellows campus. Though given the current COVID pandemic situation and everything needing to be remote, Code Fellows handled the situation very well with daily zoom lectures and provided a virtual compass where we worked on lab assignments. If I had the money and time to take another Code Fellows course, I would take it.
- Software Developer- 10/28/2020Vij • Software Developer • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Python (Full-Time) • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInI joined the bootcamp to learn technical skills to augment my interest in data research and quality improvement, and ended up making a complete career transition into this industry. Codefellows provided a challenging, incremental and fun environment to learn. And along with great instruction, they have an extremely supportive network of graduates and industry recruiters that were able to assist me in making this transition successful.
- Glad I did it!- 10/21/2020Blake Romero • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Full-Time) • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInCode Fellows is an amazing place to learn software development. The Code Fellows staff takes care of their students, they provide a robust curriculum with tons of TA and instructor support. They were always ready and willing to answer any questions. Code Fellows has a great comunity of like-minded people that are great to work with and are always helpful. If you are on the edge about doing a bootcamp I saw do it, you will not regret, any bootcamp will be a great experience but in particular Code Fellows is top tier in education and community. You will end your course battered with knowledge and wanting more.
- An Ideal University Alternative- 9/21/2020Peyton Cysewski • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in ASP.NET Core • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubI was always under the impression that the university route was the only route. After three and a half years of pushing my way through school with it losing its luster each year I was eager to find a new path. When I discovered Code Fellows it was immediately clear this was the way to go, and I was not wrong! I was surrounded by instructors and staff who cared about their students. I learned more than just how to code, but how to learn how to learn. Aside from the silliness of that statement, I learned truly how important that skill is in the ever-changing world of software development. I recommend Code Fellows to anyone who wants to learn how to code. Start with the 101 workshop and go from there!
- Fantastic time at Code Fellows- 9/11/2020Nicholas Ryan • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in ASP.NET Core • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubI came to Code Fellows knowing some Python related mostly to data science and making text adventure console games. I expected to learn about Web Development and at the end feel proficient enough to build my own sites and understand the modern web better. I got a whole lot more out of it than that, the instructors I had were absolutely top notch and so knowledgeable, I feel like I learned so much information in such a short time I'm still surprised at the things I can accomplish now. Truly a fantastic school with fantastically dedicated staff.
- Great Experience- 8/20/2020Dave Wolfe • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Full-Time) • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI just graduated from Code Fellows, in Seattle WA. 6 months ago, I barely knew what a boolean was. Now, I'm a Full Stack JavaScript Developer. I learned so much during my time at Code Fellows, that I really don't know where to start with this review, other than to say, if you are looking for a bootcamp to attend, you owe it to yourself to check out Code Fellows. It's difficult, rewarding, and well worth the time and money.
- David Palagashvili • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Full-Time) • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubIt was time for a career change and I knew I wanted to get into software but the impostor syndrome was a blocker; I never thought I could learn it without going to a 4 year university. I attended an info session and learned that this is a real technologist institute, with a large, dedicated instructional team. The leaders of this organization are well connected at the Big Four and they have a profound understanding of what they're looking for in candidates these days. The game has changed and CodeFellows is leading the charge... in March 2020 I did not know what a boolean was. By August 14th, I was on a team presenting presenting our first collaboration on a Full-Stack Application built with React, MongoDB, Socket.io, and many other exciting, contemporary technologies.
If you're brave and willing, these folks will take good care of you and help you discover, then channel your inner software engineer. After you've learned the skills, it's not over! They'll almost hold your hand and teach you how to secure gainful employment in your software area of interest, through every step of the process.

- reinventing your life- 8/17/2020In a day and age where everyone is offering services to teach you how to code and how to get a job in the Tech industry, many prospective students are wary. But let me tell you that at Code Fellows, they work to prepare you for the actual environment you will be put in in the tech industry. I came here without knowing anything about code and I left being able to write full stack applications in a variety of frameworks and languages, customized to what employers are actually looking to hire.
As a student who also dealt with a transition to remote learning, the choices made by code fellows to encourage a campus and collaborative, even in a remote environment, has been impressive. The online campus always have student and staff around working on various things and you can always see someone you recognize from another class.
This has been a great experience and I highly value my time here. I would not have chosen any other bootcamp to prepare me for the new tech environment.
- Rewarding Experience!- 2/26/2020Karina • Graduate • Course: Code 401: Advanced Software Development in ASP.NET Core • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInBefore I decided to take courses at Code Fellows, I read so many reviews about each bootcamp. Finally I chose Code Fellows and I started my first course in August 2019. I just recently graduated with a certificate in ASP.NET Core C# in December 2019. The whole curriculum was very intense yet it was very rewarding. Here is why I love Code Fellows:
- I love the curriculum! The curriculum includes in-class lectures, labs, code challenges, reading assignments, pair-programming sessions, guest speeches, networking events, and career development sessions.
- Code Fellows follows industry standards throughout the curriculum and teaches students to do everything with a proper way that aligns with the industry standards. For example, students have lots of opportunities to pair with each other and do group projects together. With that, students at Code Fellows develop better communication skills and teamwork skills to work with others and can better read and understand other people's codes.
- They have awesome instructors and staffs! I absolutely love the culture at Code Fellows. It is a very welcoming community. Everyone is so friendly and the instructors really care about the students. At Code Fellows, you can ask anybody for help if you have any questions or need anything. All the TAs, instructors, and even campus directors and principals make themselves available for the students if you want to talk or ask for any advice regarding the curriculum, interview preparation, or career development.
- Code Fellows teaches students how to "learn". Learning is a never-ending thing, especially if you work in the tech industry. Code Fellows not only teaches students how to write codes but also trains us how to think and learn on our own. When I started my first course, I did not know how to read documentations and I did not know how to find a solution on my own. However, throughout the courses, as I learned more and more about coding, I started to develop my problem-solving skills. Therefore, in my last course at Code Fellows, my teammates and I were able to build a mobile app within one week. The point is we did not learn how to build a mobile app in the class, we learned it all by ourselves!
- Comparing to a CS degree, a bootcamp is relatively shorter and cheaper. However, at Code Fellows, the curriculum teaches you all you need to know as a software developer. Students graduated from here know how to read/write codes, build full web apps (front-end and back-end), debugging, write unit tests to apps, and understand data structures and algorithms. Additionally, since this is an intense program, in order to successfully pass the courses, students develop excellent time management skills, problem-solving skills, communication skills, and become more self-disciplined and self-driven.
- Last but not least! Throughout the curriculum, every week there is a guest speaker on the campus to talk about numerous topics related to the tech industry. This helps student be familiar with the tech industry and learn something new from the professionals. In the last course of the curriculum, there are career development sessions that help students prepare for job searching after graduated. We review each others' resumes and do mock interviews to practice our public speaking skills. I found this very useful as I received so many feedback from my classmates and the campus director.
Finally, for the time I was at Code Fellows, I developed a strong bond with my cohort-mates. We studied together, struggled together, and then we found the solution together. We supported each other and we kept each other accountable. I really love the culture at Code Fellows that everyone was friendly and willing to help others.
If you are considering joining a bootcamp, be prepared that it is not going to be easy. The curriculum was intense and not easy as all. However, at the end everything was worth it. Just keep doing it and never give up, you will eventually get there. Be positive and enjoy the process, it may be hard and you may struggle along the way, but trust yourself, you know more than you think you do!

I entered Code Fellows with no knowledge or expectations. I was desperately overdue for a career change in order to provide for myself and my family. My last experience with coding education was left far behind - a year of college Computer Science back in 2001. After a long period of self discovery, I finally knew that this was the career that I not only wanted to do, but had to do. It was all or nothing now. College was no longer an option, given tuition being the grotesque beast it is now compared to then. Thankfully, I was in the midst of a dawn where coding boot camps were finally getting the respect and recognition they deserve, even by the biggest names in tech. And I was fortunate enough to have a friend who recommended Code Fellows highly.
I couldn't be more grateful for the experience I had there. We began by learning the fundamentals of web development, using the latest tools in HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript. As we progressed, we learned more about server side development and API integration. It was such a sense of accomplishment the first time learned how to pull down data to tell the weather, or render a google map with search results; all on our own websites built from scratch. In the final, advanced course, I chose to learn ASP.NET Core, which added even greater depth and power to how we developed our web apps. Our instructors and TAs throughout this curriculum were excellent in helping us all understand the material, and we eager to answer any questions we had. I can honestly say I am amazed at the amount of material I learned in my relatively short time there, and to know that it's just the tip of the iceburg.
I should also mention that during this entire time we were also learning skills to help up break into the industry. Whiteboard questions were almost a daily exercise, with a final one-on-one whiteboard with an instructor being necessary to graduate, and rightfully so. They also brought in guest speakers every week from different fields to share their personal experiences on their work life, where they started, and how they got there. We were taught how best to market ourselves to employers, to network and make connections, to know our worth as developers. I'll never forget how they explained the average time for a graduate to land their first job is 9 months. If you already have a degree of any kind or pervious experince then that time is significantly shorter, as many of my own classmates have proven already. But true to their word, after a great deal of effort, I got my first offer just before Christmas, almost exactly 9 months after graduating.
I would highly recommend Code Fellows to anyone looking to start a career in programming. I still stay in touch with the community on Slack just to hear the chatter, events, and all the improvements they've made after my time. Not only do you get a degree's worth of technical education, but also the knowledge to prepare you for the job hunt, and give you that edge needed to get that first big offer.
