Founded in Portugal in 2015, Code for All_ is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. Code for All_ describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.
Code for All_'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.
At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the Code for All_ website.
Code for All_ was formerly known as <Academia de Código_>.

It is definitly intensive, but that push ourselves to go so much far away. I grew both professionaly and personaly.
Although 3 and half months felt short for the huge amount of information ( I think some subjects need a little more time to digest), it is a bootcamp i truly recomend.
The love and confort that I receive from all teams ( from mastercoders, to detail, placement) it was incredible.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

It's a different environment where is easy to forget the world outside and focus on our goal, to consume as much knowledge as we can.
It's your own effort that makes you a good programmer and in this bootcamp you will find your strength.
It's challenging and will teach you much more than programming.
I really recommend it if you want to change your life and try a new area. You can be sure that you will find a job because they will push you to the next level.Overall5.0Curriculum4.0Job support5.0Instructors4.0 -

You are going to drive nonstop through paths, some are easy, some feels like impossible, but you will never be alone and will get up and above.
It was 14 weeks that seemed like 2 years of full time development (yes, my brain was still coding while I was sleeping) and like I said on the title, It's not about lines of codes, but improving yourself as a better professional and better person if you are willing to.
I went to a career changing, got one of the best experiences of my life and big family! And got a developer job too.Overall5.0Curriculum5.0Job support5.0Instructors5.0 -

The course was in itself highly engaging. The syllabus is complete: it starts by exploring programming basics and logic with Java and culminates in frontend development using JS. Most of the technologies and topics that were being addressed were accompanied by challenging exercises; these, in turn, were tackled in small groups to promote discussion of ideas and concepts that would help their resolution.
A thing that should be mentioned and highly regarded in this Bootcamp is the focus on the development of soft skills like oral and visual presentation, problem-solving and networking.
Overall, I was very satisfied with this Bootcamp and I recommend it to anyone that is looking to start their journey in IT and unsure where to start.
