Absolutely mind-blowing!
It's hard to fully understand everything they teach. It's impossible to solve each and every challenge they give you. Each day you'll taste the sound of inevitability. But each day your brain grows by its double. You need a couple of days to fully understand that you've learned what you've actually learned. -

It is an intense experience that requires a lot of effort but is worth every second. The teachers, the challenges and the whole way the bootcamp is structured are perfect. Becoming a fullstack developer while having fun and making friends for life is possible! -

Literally a life changer !
Rich and open minded environment ... Super intensive weeks ... Daily challenges... very profissional in all aspects from day one till the day you land your first job in the field you are interested in ..
I 100% recommend <Academia de código_>
I was contracted 1 month before I finish the bootcamp ... Which can give you an idea about the opportunities that can be presented to you during and after the bootcamp...
DON'T OVER THINK IT JUST GO FOR IT !!

Life-changing, literal!

14 weeks of extreme educational and emotional intensity.
All the staff is extremely attentive and will give you all the support you need, as long as you are open to being helped.
The friendships could be incredible and the connections formed, completely out of what you ever thought possible in such a short time.
It won't be easy, the idea is not to be! It will take commitment and hard attempts to understand and assimilate the content (which may often not come). Will you understand everything and be super great? No! But being persistent and not giving up is one of the skills that if you don't have, you will have.
I think the current location (at least in Lisbon), is complicated for many people and the facilities and equipment could be much better, taking into account the amount paid of 7,000€ per student.
The way the whole placement part, (i.e. getting you a job), is managed, I also don't think it is ideal for all people, since not everyone gets to the end at the same level. However, there is a job for everyone, whether it's during the bootcamp, soon after, or 1 or 2 months later... the opportunity will come!

Best decision ever!
Pros - Culture, Empowerment, Technical knowledge of teachers, Sylabus, Job Placement.
Cons - A little messy on MAC setups which can easily be fixed.
Pro Tip - You really have to be able to let go your personal life for the full duration of the course, otherwise you will turn the hardmode on! -

The best decision of my life!
I was feeling lost and unhappy with my career. I was encouraged by a friend to join the Academia de Código and that was the best decision of my life. In a short time I was able to enter a job market with a huge potential for professional growth. I feel safe to move on to whatever area I want. I highly recommend the Academia de Código. -

Unique experience
I already had a degree on Computer Science, but was still kinda "green", so I gave a shot at <Academia de Código_> and I gotta say it was worth. In just 14-Weeks I got to know the concepts of programming and what was missing me in that degree; they never quitted on us until we knew everything. It was an unique experience. -
Diogo Verified via LinkedIn
Amazing bootcamp
I loved the experience, the environment and the way the subjects are approached. Every step we take, we have to think about it alone before solving it, and that really helps to get in the "mindset of a programmer". The placement team does an amazing job, and keep a close relationship with all the students.

From noobie to full stack developer
I always wanted to learn programming but thought it was a too big world of information. Until discovering <Academia de Código_> and realizing that it is possible. In just 14 weeks we go from noobie to full stack developer. Amazing experience. Highly recommended. -
João Ortiz Verified via LinkedIn
It really is intensive
After 7 years as a digital Marketing consultant, I felt a strong need to change my path.
Academia de Código allowed me to do that. A strong body of instructors allied with a great go-get atitude was what I was needing to pursue a career as a programmer.
I wanna thank everyone there that made me feel better especially in those days when you just feel stupid. -

I've always wanted to program, but I never could image what I would learn here, not only about programming but about how to approach problems in general. Not only did I feel confident and ready to work after the 14 weeks the bootcamp lasted, I also developed in ways to communicate with others, deal with time constraints, and working with all kinds of people, but also made great friends.
Strongly advise to anyone who wants to learn to program and learn how to learn how to program, and having a blast doing so. -

Amazing

A/C packs in a lot of content within 14 weeks, this means that there is are a lot of subjects to go through in a short amount of time, leading to the experience being exhaustive. However, A/C does cover everything you'll need to know to get started. No, you won't master anything - yet - 14 weeks isn't enough time to master one framework, let alone two languages, different paradigms within said languages and a whole bunch of frameworks. That being said, it's exactly the right amount to start a new career, because the resilience needed, the knowledge gained and the technical and inter-personal skills that are worked on along the bootcamp are more than enough to become a solid developer, which is the basis required for future growth. Learning is a process and A/C sets you up with everything you need for success.
In short, it's worth it if you can tough it out. The staff is amazing (both teaching and support staff) and careers are easily launched from there. Go for it. -

Unforgettable Experience
The best opportunity to change your life. An unforgettable learning experience in the world of programming, in just three and a half months it is incredible what you can achieve. I was one of the lucky ones who went through this adventure and as soon as I finished I started my new working life. -

Brutal Bootcamp

A brutal experience....with all the meanings associated with this word...
Academia de código taught me everything I needed to know to became a programmer. They taught me how to think like one, how to talk like one and how to face challenges like one...
There were hard and painful times...but then again, growing always is. I am very grateful to be part of such a special group of people and for the time I spent learning to code.
Investments in knowledge always pays the best interests....And I am very happy I've invested with them. -

Amazing
If you want to change your life and become a developer, this is the way to go.
They really teach us a lot in those 14 weeks. Of course we don't learn everything there is to know, but they teach us the general concepts and also how to learn for ourselves. -
Jorge Tavares Verified via LinkedIn

This Bootcamp is the best, I not only learned how to program but I also understood the meaning of a family in a big group of different people. It gave me a lot of confidence to go find a job and they also give all the support on that part. And besides being a school, they are not a classical school, they are different, creative in all ways of teaching and they don't leave anyone behind, the teachers are amazing and all the staff. I can say it was the best and hardest experience of my life. The best "fast-learning" school in Portugal. 100% recommend it! -

Academia de Código is a big family thanks to their amazing team of instructors and their willingness to change people's lives. The best code teachers out there are all here. They make every subject fun and interesting and that's why I believe they are the best programming school in Portugal. I had misgivings before starting the bootcamp and it turned out to be the best decision of my life. I got a job right away when I finished. -

Make friends for life, create stuff, have fun, while you learn to code!

I was skeptical about <A/C_> when I first heard of it. The more I looked, the more I got convinced it was the thing to do, but once I got there all my expectations were exceeded. Expecting it to be some boring classes like every other course I had taken, it is the polar opposite. You learn by having fun, when you make a question the answer is not immediate, you're pushed to think for yourself and find it. Apply your new learned skills in small projects every week, and then learn to work as a team with bigger creative projects and a final 24 hour hackathon, which will be unforgettable.
Fourteen weeks that will change your life!

Get a job 1,5 months after I finished the bootcamp
When you decide to give a try do do this, you have to get in mind that you are betting "14week of your life" for a WIN.
My advice, enjoy everyday in bootcamp, it will be "f***ing" hard for everyone. Don't worry to be beind the others, worry about enjoy the everyday's learning. -

There are moments in your life that you don't forget, either because they are great and you have wonderful memories of them or because those moments were awful and you just wish you could forget them forever.
<Academia de Código_> is definitely the first, you will learn, you will grow and best of all, you will make memories that you will cary for life. Best of all, after these 14 weeks at <Academia de Código_>, you will be 100% ready to be placed in a well payed job doing what you love to do, code!
Thank you for the memories, friends and for giving me a chance. -

"I will never forget "
I will never forget the family that changed my life.
I am eternally grateful to this School. They taught me to code, but they also taught me to learn.
Applying for this bootcamp was the best decision I ever made and my life has improved so much from this.
I went from being a military with no prospect and no plans for the future to being employed at an awesome IT company.
I think everyone should do this bootcamp!

For those interested in programming and looking for a change in their lives, this is the right opportunity. It will be tough and challenging, but hey, nothing that's easy in life would be really worth it in the end.
You'll learn more than you think, make friendships for life and get a new perspective about the future.
Even after the end of the bootcamp, the given support until you get a job is amazing. You'll never be alone. -
Miguel Piedade Verified via LinkedIn
Extremely rewarding for those willing to put in the work
The bootcamp provides an extremely well-thought out and focused curriculum, as well as a fostering community (staff and colleagues). The intense work rhythm, allied with the "learn to learn" mentality, was the perfect way to fully dive into the programming world, with the true reward being becoming confident to face any future challenges with positivity, resilience and resourcefulness. -

A unique experience to learn coding while loving it, without any particular IT background
Read more Read less of Tomás Tenreiro's review
I've attended this bootcamp in the start of 2021 in the midst of the pandemic, which for me resulted in a full remote experience.
Even with that handicap I had a great experience.
This is because Academia de Código adapts in each iteration to the group and current technologies.
It also manages very well to highlight the joys of coding by having teachers that can connect well with the students.
After its completion, the job hunting assistance is great aswell, by scheduling meetings between IT recruiters and students, while giving tips for them. -

Much more than a bootcamp
A unique and incredible experience.
The Code Academy aims to transform lives and they did it to me.
Everything is very intense, but it prepares us in the best way to enter the job market.
Dedicated teachers who are always willing to help.
Thank you for everything you are. -

If you think they will teach you how to write lines of code and make stuff happen on the computer, you're right!! But there's so much more than that!
This Bootcamp is a life-changing experience, where you are put out of your comfort zone Every. Single. Day! It looked a bit daunting at first, but I came to realize that I was also evolving at an incredible speed!
"You must trust the process!" is something that we regularly heard, and it applies! In 14 weeks I learned to code, to face challenges, to overcome fears, and always give my best!
And as a bonus, I also got a new family! -

Promise delivered!

It is fast-paced. It is hard. It can be wacky at times. This Bootcamp surely delivers its promise. I went from code noob to professional in 14 most amazing weeks, landing a job soon after!
As soon as I met the Master Coders through the selection phase and up to the actual Bootcamp, I realized that coding is not all about technical skills (worry not, the MCs will make sure you get your mad skills!) but also about culture! All professional fields have their own quirks and at <Academia de Código_> I got to know about all these cool meta topics and as the weeks went by I felt ever more proficient talking about code and technology. I was truly becoming a software developer!
Most importantly, I never felt lonely on this trip. As with all good things in life, great achievements are conquered with team spirit, and the MCs and all the incredible human structure around them made sure I and all my fellow boot campers always felt like a team - "no-one gets left behind!" was our motto.
It couldn't have been any other way. This Bootcamp is life-changing, and as such, it comes with a price: hard work. But have no doubt you will always find yourself propelled forward by the great <Academia de Código_> team!
One last note: even when you think the Bootcamp is about to end and you will be on your own, the great Placement Team will kick in. They'll go to extremes to make sure you have all the support you need to land that job you are probably dreaming about right now! -

How to become and amazing programmer/genius!!

Where to start? Maybe from the beginning. That initial flirt, that started somewhere in the last couple of years. That was basically me sharing my information and motivations, and they falling in love with me. Then immediately the rollercoaster began. After some time, breaking through the n01r, some challenges to learn the basis of programming, and to test our logical thinking, I got the almighty golden ticket. And so was able to attend the workshop, a day where we can experience the full experience of a day in a life of a < Code Cadet_>. After that, I experienced days of pure horror, as I taught to myself? "How can they like me; I suck so much..." But after a couple of days my phone rang, it was my < Master Coder > Christina saying I got in.
For the first time in my life, I felt like I’ve won the lottery.
The course per se, is awesome. It's very newb friendly, but in the end, we feel like a pro. It's like a full journey that transforms us from and unhatched egg into a full IV grown lvl 100 Charizard. It's done to cover every simple aspect of the computer world; we travel at a high-speed pace from electricity to programming bank transactions. All the alumni are reachable, and won’t care to spend hours talking about the Bootcamp experience. And the detail team, is one of the most thoughtful and caring I've crossed paths with. They surely Enlighted my world, and I was in a very dark place. Then after this 14 week, all you want to do is sleep, but you have a flee like Placement Team, always calling you, always arranging meetings, so you can grab your first job A$AP. I can stand my feet, that there is nowhere around, a better team. < Academia de Código_> is much more than just a programming bootcamp, you start looking for a way to turn your life around, but end up with a family. -

The best learning experience I've ever had!
Read more Read less of Vania Costa's review
Although my bootcamp was almost all remote, I didn't miss out on my learning experience, I was even more focused because I could hear every detail of the lectures (and all the jokes!). We made a Discord server and we were helping each other or just talking and playing most nights. The learning rhythm is so intensive that when it was over I kept going on studying every day, because there was all I knew! You literally feel like it's been years after a few weeks of lectures. If programming is what you want and what you enjoy doing, invest in you by learning while having the best experience ever! In my personal experience, after less than 2 weeks I had 3 job offers, I look forward to my successful future as a Full Stack Software Developer! -

The 14-week boot camp from Academia de Código allowed me to make a career shift from Mechanical Engineering to the IT space. This was exactly what I needed and it did overcome my initial expectations. If you don't feel like you're having any progress in your career, just go for it!
