    Breaking into tech with no prior experience

    I decided to enroll in Code Fellows after knowing two people personally that had done their curriculum and received developer jobs shortly after graduation. Code Fellows is an exceptional coding bootcamp experience that truly prepares you for what life will be like when you get your first job as a software engineer. They provide you with the knowledge, tools, and skills you need to be successful in this industry. Not only do they teach you how to program, they also teach you how to write...

    You found the one. Go here!

    I’ve completed my coursework up to 301 and I can honestly say I have never felt more supported, encouraged and motivated ever. Not in all my years in college, no institution or class made me feel as prepared for success as code fellows has made me.
    If you’re lost, there’s always someone to help you. If you’re overwhelmed, they hear you. If you have a different way of learning, just ask and they’ll accommodate you. Honestly, you cannot go wrong attending Code Fellows, you just can’t.

    Top notch support and instruction

    Since retiring from my previous job, I had a late start getting into the software development field.  I did many hours of talking to several boot camps in the area.  I knew software development was what I wanted to transition to, but didn't know how to start.  I can say with full honesty that from my very first phone with Code Fellows they have fostered a welcoming and supportive atmosphere.  The instructional staff always seemed to go the extra mile and lend support whenever and however...

    Exhausting, Worth It

    Deciding to pursue my interest in software development at nearly 40 years old after working in the arts for over twenty years was terrifying.  But after my journey through Code Fellows, I can say with confidence that I'm prepared both technically and culturally. 

    I'm leaving these courses with not only the skills to competently program in my chosen language, but also a deeper understanding of the logic, and the agility to quickly learn new languages and tools.
