Shared Review
- Fast, intense, and gain tons of knowledge- 10/1/2019Jay • Student • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Arlington • Verified via LinkedIn
I attended the onsite immersive program for 14 weeks at Coding Dojo in the Seattle area. Before I started the program, I had little to no prior knowledege or experience in the field of technology. I spent a lot of long hours, (80+) each day at the Dojo working on assignments. The goal of the program is to prepare students to become self sufficient developers by giving in-depth knowledge of the latest technologies that are in demand in the tech industry. You will spend most of the time learning the language on your own and sometimes with other small groups of people. One thing that sets Coding Dojo apart from other bootcamps is they have a one hour session in the morning that is mainly focused towards algorithims and data structures. The instructors give a mini lecture and students work in groups to solve real world algorithims that could be brought up during a real interview for a job opputunity. Most of the instructors were helpful with guidence and support. One thing to change could be updating the platform to what is current such as the versions of the technolgy. Overall, I enjoyed my time at Coding Dojo, putting long grueling hours was well worth it in the end of my 14 weeks!
- Not worth it at all.- 9/8/2020Brian • Software Engineer • Graduate • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInThey offered no job connections, even for those of us that graduated at the top of the class. The instructors were all previous dojo graduates with 0 real work experience. Horrible program (I have a job in tech now, but only after working for another year on my one. You can learn what the dojo teaches you for free online, don't go here.)
Response From: Luke Lappala of Coding Dojo
Title: Director of CommunicationsFriday, Sep 25 2020We are sorry to hear about your negative experience Brian but appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Our Career Services team works around the clock to help our graduates find great careers and I can assure you our instruction staff is filled with industry experience and experts. We're glad to hear you landed a job in tech though!
- Positive review overall- 9/7/2020mahmoud abdulwahed • Graduate • Course: Online Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Part-time • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubIt's a dense program that takes a lot of time and effort to be committed.I feel I have learned a lot, but I also feel the program length is not sufficient to gain enough confidence to start a career.There was a good amount of support when it came to having questions addressed. Also, there was an expectation for us to do much independent research.
- Great Experience!- 9/5/2020Keith Lim • HVAC Technician/ Electrician • Graduate • Course: Web Development • Campus: Seattle • Verified via GitHubI chose Coding Dojo, because the price was right. Quite a few other camps I looked into were very expensive. Coding dojo had many options on curriculum as well. The learning platform was very great and intuitive. It did have access issues at times, but it never lasted too long and there was always someone there to help. The community and instructors were great, very genuine and nice, and most of all patient. I am glad I went, and will continue to study from this platform. I do wish I would have been able to do the on campus and be fully immersed in the camp but due to the pandemic, it was not an option. As for the job portion, I felt that I could have been better. But honestly the way that it's setup is, you only get what you put in. And nothing much can be done in the short 4 months. You are already drinking from a firehose. The job search is a process, and you really have to build on your skills and become stronger as a developer. The career services are also very helpful and very knowledgeable. Just dont go in expecting a job right out of the camp. With all that said I would highly recommend anyone go here. I've read many of the reviews prior to myself enrolling and it was daunting thought for sure. But here I am writing a review! So just give it a shot and invest in yourself.
- student- 9/4/2020mark • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Silicon Valley • Verified via GitHubi just graduated from coding dojo 1 week ago .
i learned so much in these 3 months and i cannot believe that i actually finished it.
this is a fantasy journey and i had wonderful time during these 3 months with all my classmate, instructors and TA.
a huge shout up to their instructors, i met these awesome people and they have provided very clear and detail lectures to me .
imagine a zero coding background people like me, now i know how to build projects.
i've gone through Web fundamental (HTML, CSS, Basic JS), Python, MERN, and Java.
thats a lot to learn and better have the right expectation that you will need to spend at least 8-16 hours a day in order to go through everything .
- Full stack coding program- 9/4/2020Kristin Simmons • Graduate • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInI recently finished Coding Dojo and really enjoyed the entire experience. The program revolves around going through and completing 3 full stacks in addition to web fundamentals and daily algorithms. The reason I picked Coding Dojo of all the various local and remote learning bootcamps is the focus on Algorithms and problem solving while getting a chance to work with multiple backend technologies in addition to the normal front end work. Coming from a background in tech--outside of development I could see how important it was during the interview process to have sound problem solving skills. The bootcamp was super intense--the recommended time commitment is above 70hrs a week and I would say if you don't plan on devoting that to the bootcamp you will not get that great of return--you'll struggle as things move very quickly. The teachers are really supportive and even though the work load is high, if you are struggling in an area or a concept you'll get plenty of 1:1 help from the teachers and the multiple TA's that offer their support. I'd definitely recommend Coding Dojo if you're looking to take that next step into development.
- Software Engineer- 9/4/2020Steven Miyauchi • Software Engineer • Graduate • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInThis was my third programming bootcamp but first full-time virtual learning experience. With previous experience learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and SQL, I was humbled by their unique approach to each stack. The online platform was informative, concise and methodical. The assignments reiterated over lecture material while allowing creative freedom. The belt exams were challenging and engaging. Their Virtual Workplace made it easy to connect, ask questions and learn from the national community which was super cool and not possible at previous in-person bootcamps. I was a little skeptical at first but I learned, this was the type of environment for me.
Some of the resources they offered that set me up for success were video recordings of every lecture in each stack, demos for challenging assignments when we requested, unintimidating support system of teachers and TA's, just enough guidance to figure out what questions I needed to ask and the opportunity to succeed to live a life serving a greater purpose.
Looking forward to continue learning, sharing and building towards a brighter future!
- Wonderful Instructors- 9/2/2020Michael Clinkscales • Software Engineer • Graduate • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Arlington • Verified via LinkedInLots of free time that you need to manage yourself, but instructors are always available to help and teach in ways that make the material fun. Recommend giving yourself more time in the day than you might expect as homework can sometimes be a bit hard to grasp on first look.
- Amazing overall experience!- 8/9/2020Tringa Krasniqi • Web developer • Graduate • Course: Online Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Part-time • Campus: Online • Verified via LinkedInI graduated from the online part-time program just last week! I got to learn the Python/ Django stack which only in 4 months I feel so competent at it. Though, of course there are always new things to learn and always room for improvement. I think that without the bootcamp I would not be able to learn all these things in such speed. I highly recommend it, though you need to know that it is quite intensive and it will require a lot of effort from the student (as it is always in any kind of learning environment). The curriculum is very well structured and in the online program I could follow the lectures at my own time, which I consider a very positive point.
- Amazing Experience- 8/9/2020Irina Markov • Graduate • Course: Online Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Part-time • Campus: Online • Verified via GitHubI just graduated online bootcamp at Coding Dojo. It is very intense and challenging program. I started with zero knowledge in programming and in 16 weeks I can build a website as a full stack developer. I’m very impressed with this program. If you are ready to put time and effort every day and complete all assignments, you going to have amazing results. I would definitely recommend Coding Dojo.
- Course Evaluation- 8/7/2020Will Calhoun • Graduate • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInCoding Dojo truly takes you from knowing nothing to being able to build a web application utilizing both front and back end languages. They teach you crucial aspects like OOP and database usage WITHOUT giving you all of the answers. This was frustrating for some students but I think this helped us become better developers. It forced students to utilize research and outside sources to figure out problems. This is truly what it is like in the industry, therefore it makes you a better dev.
That being said, there were some hiccups as they transitioned to fully online (started at the beginning of Covid-19) but they did give additional resources and retakes to courses to accommodate the issues. I would have preferred 2 languages (more in depth) than grazing over the 3. (Feels like grazing but you do gain ALOT of knowledge) But either way, I do feel confident in multiple languages.
- From CrUd to a Breeze- 8/7/2020Paul • Graduate • Course: Dev Accelerator - LAMP, Python, Ruby on Rails, MEAN, iOS, .NET Core • Campus: Los Angeles • Verified via LinkedInI really feel like coding went from a bunch of crap letters and symbols to a breeze. I feel like I can learn anything when it comes to coding now. The instructors and staff are very caring. They work long after hours to help you. Your cohort mates are generally very friendly and ready to help too. It really teaches you how to learn how to code not just to learn how to code if that makes sense.
- Unparalleled Experience!- 8/6/2020Andrew Wheeler • Graduate • Course: Onsite Software Development Immersive Bootcamp - Full-time • Campus: Seattle • Verified via LinkedInI had my eye on the Coding Dojo for several years before making the leap to enter the program. It is a huge commitment to dedicate 14 solid weeks of your time and resources to learning 3 full stacks. But if you've ever seen Coding Dojo testimonial videos pop up on your YouTube feed from alumni talking about how awesome the program is, then you've seen and heard the truth! Without question, entering this program was the best decision I have ever made for my career. The Coding Dojo creates an intensive, immersive learning environment with an unparalleled curriculum and pedagogy. In my opinion, there is no better way to learn. The platform is built to stretch you but not crush you, and the classroom (even virtually) is interactive with ready access to your instructors. There are plenty of bootcamps, videos, and learning modules available out there, but if you're truly serious about making a career change, I highly recommend the Coding Dojo. I believe it will save you time, money, and actually get you where you want to go.
