Codeworks

Codeworks has been the best choice in my career and life. My cohort has been amazing and i managed to find a highly paid job with only the experience made in codeworks.
Pros:
3 Months is the shortest time investment you can find for this level of quality
The curriculum is only made of highly requested skills in the market.
The project you they make you do are very useful in the job search.
The pre-course allows you to reach 20% alone, learning the basics so you can spend the 3 months of course getting as far ahead as possible, compared to other bootcamps that waste you time by teaching you the very simple basics.
Cons:
Some of the instructors in MY cohort did not have enough experience to be excellent teachers
the cost can be prohibitive for some people (even though i consider them really worth it)
The course is 12h a day, 6 days a week. You cannot work and study at the same time Read less

Codeworks gave an outstanding experience, as someone who already had a fair amount of experience - it was very enlightening to learn a wide array of things in such a short time! If you're looking to begin coding or just sharpen your skills, I couldn't recommend a better place than here. Read less

In this review I want to touch on three main parts:

1. How Codeworks has changed/improved my life
2. The REALITY of Codeworks
3. The Outcomes (job support) team

Before I get into this let me start with what is most important that is that THEY DO DELIVER ON WHAT THEY PROMISE: Finding a job as a Software Engineer within few months of graduation. The exact time that it will take you (1, 2 or 3 months or even more) will completely depend on how much work you put into finding a job. If you follow all of the instructions that you get during job support you will probably be able to find a job within a month or month and a half max. If you decide to go on your own pace, and do your own thing it will obviously take you longer.

1. How Codeworks has changed/improved my life - Attending Codeworks has probably been the best decision I have ever taken, not only did I become a much better developer and get a satisfying job offer but the course itself is so challenging that truly prepares you to struggle and constantly be uncomfortable in your future career. Now don’t get me wrong it does not mean that you will never struggle again after Codeworks but after the course you will be much more comfortable finding yourself in uncomfortable situations, and it will come much easier and feel much more possible to learn difficult topics. You will have a degree of autonomy that you did not have before the course.

2. The Reality of Codeworks - this is very important to understand as it will prepare you for the course. Codeworks is no magic pill, that is you won’t just magically become a good software engineer. You will have to work as hard as you ever have and try and deliver tasks within unrealistic amount of time. You will most likely struggle like you never have. Luckily for you you will have support from very talented instructors that will help you understand the material but you will still be expected to show a certain degree of autonomy in delivering the given tasks. Codeworks also provides an amazing learning environment: You will be surrounded by some of the smartest people that you will ever meet, your classmates, who have similar ambitions to yours. What is important to understand is that your improvement as a Software Engineer during the course does not just depend on Codeworks but also on how hard you work.

3. The Outcomes Team: The job support that you get from the outcomes team is so good that it deserves a section of its own. In my opinion the job support alone, is worth all the money that the course costs. And the best part of it all is that you get it for the rest of your life. At least from my experience, the strategies and knowledge that is shared with you in order to optimize your chances of finding a job worked like a charm. You have a counselor dedicated to making you look like the strongest and best possible candidate. Now of course if you do not follow all of the suggestions that are given to you it won’t work as well so I highly recommend listening to their suggestions. Read less

If you are thinking about joining a bootcamp you should totally go for Codeworks. Keep in mind that Codeworks is an extremely good experience but it's also tough. The course is based on an inmersive program where you do 12 hours per day during 6 days of the week. It's the reason you can change your career going from zero to hero.
You will learn as much as you want, the limit is in your hand.
Keep in mind that the joining process is long; you will need a month for it and you need to know some basics (for this, what i did was a free course in Udemy of 80h and then I just enrolled codeworks).
After the course, getting a job is a period of time of a month (more or less) where Codeworks helps you with guidances. 
I can tell you that they don't lie about their stats on jobs after leaving the course.
To me it was the best decision I have ever done in my life. All you need is willing to change/learn/work and be a nice person. Read less

Codeworks was one of the hardest things I have done in my life, but it was so worth it! The course is great, the instructors are always there to help you when you get stuck, and the career support after you finish the course is amazing (Thanks Marc). During the 3 months I spent at Codeworks, I would have never thought beforehand that I would have learned so much in that time. The knowledge you gain is way ahead of what typical bootcamps provide, which will put you ahead of others when looking for jobs. Would definitely recommend it to anyone! Read less

I did the remote EST Software Engineering Immersive in April of 2021 and it was an incredible experience. I had very little development knowledge going into the program but found a job and started working as a full-stack software engineer in September of the same year. If you are looking for a path to start a new career in software development and are ready to commit then Codeworks will give you the skills to make it happen! Read less

It's been a year since I graduated from Codeworks and in retrospect I can say that joining the bootcamp has been one of the best decisions I've ever made. As a former CS grad who had previously pursued a project management career, Codeworks provided me with the right roadmap, motivation and environment to update my skillset, learn an up-to-date tech stack, create a portfolio attractive to recruiters, and make the desired career switch a reality. 

I was able to land my first dev job within 5 weeks from graduation, and now one year later I have landed a significantly better offer with one of the top companies on the BCN tech scene. I'd like to give big Kudos to Codeworks' career support consultant Marc, who was always on-hand to provide invaluable guidance during both of these hiring processes.

To sum up, I totally recommend Codeworks to anyone who's truly passionate about tech and willing to put in the hard work. The investment and effort has paid off n-fold to both myself and many of my fellow graduates. Read less

Highly recommend this bootcamp if you want to learn the latest tech stack for Web Development and restart your career. I especially recommend this bootcamp if you have previous experience or basic coding knowledge.

I really enjoyed my time at Codeworks, it was one of the best and most intense experience of my life. If you are thinking about doing a coding bootcamp, I would definitely recommend checking out Codeworks. In my opinion, Codeworks gives you the means to reach your goals in 3 months + the precourse (about 1 month), this is achieved through 12 - 13 hours of coding a day including Saturdays, and 24/7 access to the campus, however the best part about Codeworks is the team of people responsible to guide you through this, they are awesome, professional, friendly and on top of their game, this goes to all the staff, in my opinion this is the true value Codeworks provides.
Having said all that a person coming to Codeworks needs to be ready to work, and put in the hours in order to achieve set goals, after all of that you will leave the course with amazing amount of knowledge gathered in such a short period of time, and most important of all you will attain a skill of learning how to learn new skills and technologies and the confidence to do so.

For many people including myself, the decision to make a career change itself is a huge one, let alone finding a bootcamp and signing up for the time (and financial) commitment that comes with it. In my case, initially I was extremely skeptical of all bootcamps, but Codeworks to me seemed the most reasonable one at least on paper, so I decided to take a leap of faith. I see many others have shared their experience already and they pretty much sum up mine as well, but just to quickly summarize, I spent an amazing 3 months, learnt a ton, met great people and found a job that I genuinely find exciting in a few weeks upon completing the course. If you have already decided on making such a move and you are in the stage of choosing a bootcamp, I would definitely recommend Codeworks. Rest assured the positive reviews you can find online is coming from real students, and the outcomes they share on their website are consistent with what I have seen from my cohort. Read less

Codeworks has an amazing curriculum that takes you from 20 to 80 instead of 0 to 60. The best thing about the curriculum is that apart from advanced JS, backend frameworks and frontend frameworks Codeworks also teaches you the essential foundations of coding, such as algorithms and data structures, where many coding schools focus mainly on the 'hot topics.' 

The staff is very experienced and helpful, and the location is amazing! Also the job support is really good.
All in all a great learning experience that has exponentially improved my skills. It is highly immersive and fast paced so make sure you prepare well! Read less

Great experience with amazing people and awesome support.  I've managed to land a job within two months after finishing the course. The course is very intense. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get into the software development world. I'd do it again :-) Read less

I attended this coding bootcamp in Berlin. One big plus is that the programme doesn't start from zero. You need to pass some coding tests and assignments to get accepted there - that means you need some prior coding experience. The programme is really well structured and it covers topics like advanced JavaScrip, data structures, databases, testing and frameworks like Angular, React and Node.js. You will finish the bootcamp with two personal projects - one coded alone and one within a team. The codeworks staff is really friendly and extremely helpful. One of the most positive aspect is a career support at the end of the programme. They will do some tech interview training with you and help setting up your github and linkedIn profile. Additionally they have some really helpful tips regarding the job search and the whole application process. I am really happy that I did codeworks -  it was challenging and at lot of work but in the end it all paid off. I learned a lot during the course and I found a job within 3 weeks after graduation.  Read less

I decided to attend Codeworks because I was looking for something challenging, something that could take me from 20 to 100.
At Codeworks I found it.

In this bootcamp you'll find only talented and motivated people: in fact the admission process is really strict, and the pre course assures that all the students start with a strong knowledge base.

The TAs are very prepared and always open to help when someone is stuck on annoying bugs that, without their help, could waste several hours of time googling for a solution.

Overall a great experience. Read less

Codeworks is the best code academy in Barcelona. Their Software Engineering Immersive Bootcamp follows an intense 9-9-6 schedule (9am-9pm, 6 days a week!) in an environment where you will not only become a solid programmer, but you’ll also meet an incredibly professional and friendly staff that will guide you and be there for you every step of the way throughout your journey. And most importantly, the majority of the alumni finds a programming job within a couple of months after graduation.

I recommend enrolling to this academy to anyone that is ready to switch careers and become a software developer. Read less

Steep learning curve and a fantastic experience working with very bright and friendly people. I found a great coding job shortly after finishing. 

The syllabus, solo project and group project prepared me very well for the job search. As a result I had a portfolio potential employers were impressed by and engaged with. The technologies included in the syllabus were cutting edge and learning full stack javascript with Node gave me the flexibility to be competitive for front end, full stack or back end roles. I could comfortably talk to potential employers about the technologies studied and used in the projects.

Thanks Codeworks! Read less

During the first part of the course they taught us a lot of new technologies, while still giving us the time to do exercises and understand them.
In the second part we had to make three different projects, so that we could expand our knowledge of the technologies we most liked while simultaneously building our portfolio.
At the end they helped us build our CV and LinkedIn profile, and helped us practice with interviews.
During the exercises and two of the projects we also worked with other people which is great to learn how to work in a team.
All around it has been a great experience with the only counterpoint being that it's very hard, mainly because of the fact that it is Monday to Saturday, from 9 am to 9 pm for three months, which can be very exhausting, but extremely worth it.
I found a job just after two weeks from the end of the course, so i would definitely recommend it to anyone that has the time for it. Read less

It was the most intensive bootcamp I found in the market and it actually requires quite some knowledge to start. Even the pre-course made me learn so much on my own. I think CW has a very well structured curriculum, which teaches you not only how to make things work but also what is happening under the hood. It covered the hard parts of javascript, data structure, algorithm, database, testing, popular libraries or frameworks such as React and Angular, etc. The job support is also fantastic, I managed to received three offers in one month and a half. Now looking back, I am so happy that I made the decision to join CW. It required lots of commitment and motivation but it was great investment that I made.  Read less

Definitely the best way to learn how to code! The instructors have a very good level and helps you to learn how everything works under the hood. The bootcamp is really demanding and that's the best way to learn a lot in a short period of time. I definitely recomend it! Read less
