Coding Dojo

This Bootcamp has very good teachers, they know what they do and where to find the answers to any question (in case they don't know). But they really understand the realms  of Data Science. I was so afraid to join and be left behind but the instructors and TAs were always there to help me push through. I didn't want it to end but Its time to find a job and continue now.  Read less

Going through coding dojo i learned 3 full stacks and met a lot of people to network with, most of the instructors where really good only had one that was not very good. The career services are good at getting you prepared to applying for with resume works shops and interview techniques  Read less

Coding dojo was such a great experience. Had little coding knowledge but by the end of the boot camp I felt confident in getting into the software development field. The courses were very detailed, included lots of support, and the instructors were patient, involved and available. The assignments were definitely helpful in learning each stack. We also get life time career services, who help with finding a job, resume building, interview coaching, etc. Would recommend to anyone looking to get into software development or wanting to learn new languages.  Read less

So there are some pros and cons and they are actually the same but opposite sides. 

The 3 stack program is amazing to get a few different languages under your belt and see what you like. But on the flip side that can hinder you from learning deeper into the language. As for me, I like having the more languages. It gave me more of a feel of what I wanted to do. I thought I wanted to do front end but quickly realized I did not like that approach. 

The Career services team are amazing if you work with them. While they may reach out to you for hte initial you have to put in your leg work (not a bad thing since they have 100s of students to work with) to keep your resume up to par and worded right. 

The instructors and TA's are top notch. It is hard to stump them with any type of questions, besides stumping them they even go in depth to help further your knowledge. All the instructors I had were in it to help you succeed. 
Each stack you have an exam to test your knowledge. It is a fail pass exceed, 

All in all The staff is awesome and great to know and study under. Read less

There are better bootcamps out there. Find one that won't charge you tuition until you get employed!! Then you know its guaranteed. There's nothing worse than paying 14k for a *full time immersive* bootcamp and nothing to show for it. The teachers are ok, but you'll still be helpless and clueless after the bootcamp. Most of them are just graduates from this bootcamp who couldnt get a job FYI. And the lifetime of career services?? Its garbage too. Seriously, if you're here reading this, FIND ANOTHER BOOTCAMP!!!  Read less

You get what you put out of it. I Highly Recommend This. Online Full Time Grad

Short Answer: If you want to get into Software Development/Engineering, Coding Dojo is the route. Far cheaper than going to a 4 year school, wish I did this 4 years ago. High Quality Instruction, Fast-Paced, and you get what you put into it. Plus, Career Services for LIFE!!!

Long Answer:
Overall Experience: I am proud to have finished the dojo, it was truly a "strength through struggle" endeavor that opened my eyes to the world that was once completely foreign to me. I highly recommend Coding Dojo, because the curriculum and staff are top-tier. 3.5 months for me to learning web fundamentals and 3 full stacks has proved to me that I can learn something new really quickly which is super attractive to employers.

Instructors: High Quality Instructors who have great and friendly personalities. They are super helpful! Even the new instructors are all very well trained and capable of teaching in an effective way. Teachers Assistants "TA's" are also very helpful and supportive and with them plus the teachers you have ample support for when you get stuck. The only thing is to actually get help from them when needed don't miss the opportunity and fall behind.

Curriculum: I learned Web Fundamentals, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, then 3 full stacks of Python, MERN, and JAVA. Fast-Paced but totally doable if you put in the time. We also start each day with Algorithms.

Job Support: The career services team is readily available and offer GOLD NUGGETS of insider information that make you more competitive for employers


Great Staff, Rewarding, Up-to-Date Material, Personal Growth, Fun, Lots of Support, Does not feel like school, exciting.




If you fall behind in the fast-paced class that I took for 3.5 months, you have time to catch up, but that's almost all you will be doing, just playing catch up. I fell behind because of my lack of discipline at times and stubbornness at times to get help from the instructor in a timely manner, but hey even I made it through. Read less

Coding Dojo is a family that help you achieved new skills at the same time improve as a human being, have fun and learn that the way to be reach through too you need to be humble .

✅: great support from instructor, teaching assistants and classmates.

❌: The platform should be update with the latest software. The platform should be more completed so students can fully be prepared to work on a company.
Should relate more group projects as mandatory to get more familiar to collaborate with other developers. Read less

I definitely wouldn't be where I am without the bootcamp. 
They do a great job of trying to pack a lot into the 14 weeks and the community you build really helps you stay on track and motivated. Quick thing that I'd like to mention is that the pros and cons below are going to be outweighed by your ability to commit and work hard. Every person who met milestones on time, regardless of how they felt on the overall program, was putting in the time and energy. Good instructors, resources, overall well organized, good collaborative time. The instructors and TA's are all excited for you and seem to like their jobs. Lots of support throughout the process.There's also a lot of post bootcamp & career services related support .Sometimes their learning platform is not up to date which can cause a lot of frustration. Sometimes you may get a newer instructor and that can cause a lot more stress for you, especially if you struggle more to pickup the material. There is still a huge commitment of time and resources post bootcamp during the job search. Some people do get lucky and get employed quickly but ultimately you have to continue learning, building, etc. Read less

I took this bootcamp because I wanted to improve my data science/ programming skills. My background is in International Business and I am switching into this field. I found it great! I was a beginner in programming without a background in math, computer science or statistics so I wanted to try a bootcamp where some previous knowledge was not required. Coding Dojo helps you with a week of pre-bootcamp and then you start the whole bootcamp. I really liked that since the beginning people contact you, your counselor, your instructor, career services, etc. They give you immediate access to the learning platform,  to the schedule, to the activities, etc. I feel that you do not get lost with all the new things you have to learn and do. I have taken other online courses/bridges programs and it did feel like you were there by yourself and if you learn something good for you because 'we do not care' and it was totally different with Coding Dojo. They give you real support! The platform is very interactive, Instructors and TA's really help you, they send you emails when you are behind asking how they can help, etc. The community and classmates were very nice too, they helped me many times. I can say that it is worth the money and your time.  Read less

Coding Dojo is one of six coding bootcamps I researched when I first decided to make a career change and move into programming. While I was making my decision to attend I found the staff to be pleasant, engaging, and capable. They always answered me promptly and referred me to sources that would help if they didn't directly/immediately know themselves. I ultimately decided to attend based on that and on the program they offered... it was one of the few that provided study in more than one programming language and that didn't insist on a Microsoft-centric learning experience.
Once in the program I found the curriculum to be directed and the instructors to be engaging. The time commitment is intensive (they make sure to acknowledge that continuously before you start) and it's easy to find yourself falling behind on daily expectations, but there were always resources available to help catch you back up -  including TAs, access to Zoom classrooms, an active Discord for your cohort, and the ability to schedule 1-on-1s with the instructor. The testing paradigm to progress through the stacks is consistent and the scoring does offer students an opportunity to distinguish themselves.
Now, none of this is to say that Coding Dojo's program is perfect. During my cohort, at least, there wasn't a very solid sense of necessity during the project week that concludes each stack. Testing happens before then and can even run into that time if there are a lot of retakes and the project didn't have any bearing on your success or failure overall. There was also little import as to whether you should do them in a group or alone. Also, while there is an investment in the course materials to encourage students to do extra research on specific topics and to venture out to learn more about other languages, interfaces, and libraries, there are a few aspects of that where the program is definitely lacking. The most important of which I see as unit testing.
Outside of the program, Career Services is the other aspect to consider here. My experience overall has not been the most consistent. It is improving, but I had a rocky start from early on. A lot of my cohort-mates, however, swear by their CSMs and have since early on in the program. The alumni Discord is active and there are regular emails with job listings, activities/programs, and new partnerships the Dojo is taking on. All-in-all, there's a comprehensive after-program program... you just have to invest yourself in accessing it. Thank fully, it never really goes away, they say you have life-time access. Read less

I started this program with zero experience. They where very good at teaching coding in a way i could understand. The instructors where very helpful and the content was great! Couldnt have expected more. The learning platform was also well developed and maintained. All around it was a great experience. Read less

I had my doubts and fears about returning to school to complete Coding Dojo's Full Stack Development course but it was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. The instructors and TAs that I got to know while attending the program were all patient, passionate and dedicated to helping their students succeed. Read less

A solid choice if you are starting in tech or want to change careers. The staff is great, the curriculum is challenging but fair. You will learn so much and be such a better developer afterwards. The environment is welcoming and respect and instructors help you along the way. If you're on the fence choose this school. Read less

The Coding Dojo experience was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It pushed me to my limit. But I loved it. The Dojo has so much to offer. They have amazing scheduling options, so much learning support - from instructors to TAs, great online community, user-friendly learning platform, reading & video materials, lectures from multiple instructors, and great career services support. There's so much to learn and it's going to require more time than you think but it's so worth it.  Read less

This is the Bootcamp that you need to level up your skills, it is intense, and you should work hard to get your belt. 
Professors are the best in their field, always available, always kind and if they can't the professor's assistants have availability. You can set up a meeting with them to solve every issue that you have. My experience is in Full Stack Python part-time but it isn't part-time cause it is so intense and worthful, you should dedicate enough time to pass the belt exams at the end it depends 100% on you cause there is material, class, exercises, and assistantships, everything that you need to learn and go beyond of what you need. 
I highly recommend this Bootcamp, I'll take another BootCamp for sure. Read less
