    Great Experience

    I was initally skeptical that I would be able to get hired with only 8 weeks of training and I wondered how much I could actually learn in such little time before I decided to attend the full-time bootcamp. I was especially skeptical because programming was a big career change for me, having previously worked in social services, which required years of formal training. I ended up finding work within a week of finishing Decode and am extremely happy with the job I landed. Our demo day provi...

    Amazing experience

    I would definitely recommend taking the full-time course at DecodeMTL. Obviously it is impossible to learn everything about web development in two months, however the course gives you a solid foundation and teaches relevant technologies. You graduate with the skills to enter the work field as a Junior Dev.

    Ziad, the instructor, is passionate about what he does and is great at explaining the material in a clear, understandable way. Codrin, the TA, is amazing. He is always availabl...

    No regrets!

    Great course! Has given me a good understanding of what's behind web pages. The course description was exactly what was presented – and more. Lucas Lemonnier did a terrific job. I would not hesitate to recommend this course.

    Decode MTL is an amazing place.
    1. TEACHING
    Do not underestimate it because it is not on campus. Our teacher(Lucas) taught at Concordia before. He is not only an professional programmer but a inspiring teacher!! I do respect his passion for teaching and coding.

    This special learning experience is very influential to me.

    2. ENVIRONMENT FOR ENTREPRENEUR

    Wonderful experience!!

    I would highly recommend taking a web development course at DecodeMTL.

    The prof communicates the material in a clear and articulate manner despite the complexity of the subject at hand. The notes are extremely well formatted (I am old school and need notes to be able to digest material efficiently).

    The teacher (Lucas) and TA (Codrin) are accessible and super patient as well as generous with their time and knowledge!

    The space at WeWork is rather pleasant t...

    Great teacher

    This is a great course condensed into an arduous 2 months. You won't learn everything that an employer could possibly ask for, but what you do get is a well rounded foundation that will give you a start in the business. The teacher is fantastic and takes a great interest in the progress of all his students.

    DecodeMTL full-time

    I've been part of the first Full-time cohort, and I'm still amazed at how much I learned and became employable in only 8 weeks. I've been learning Web Development on my own three or four monthes prior to the Bootcamp , and did not even cover half of all the content we saw.

    They have a solid experience from working in the industry and know the standarts and the skills that must be learned. I've been hired 2 weeks ago, and I am using a lot of what they showed us on a daily basis.

    Don't wait!

    The eight weeks I spent at DecodeMTL were by far the best! I learned to think and code like a developer. What I learned proved to be invaluable in my career shift. I was a teacher by day and a web designer by night. Now I am a full-stack web developer by day and by night! ;-)

    Web Developer

    DecodeMTL's full-time bootcamp gave me the skills and confidence to make a successful career change into the Web Development industry. Prior to taking the course, I had little web design and programming experience. After DecodeMTL's 8 week bootcamp, I had the experience and resources to get hired as a Web Developer.    The small class size allows Ziad, the lead instructor at DecodeMTL, to customize his...

    DecodeMTL SUCCESS story.

    DecodeMTL has enabled me to quickly pick up the basic modern tools of the web-development trade. It alleviated the burden of trying to figure out where to start and delivered a perfect baseline understanding of industry standards. After only two months, it allowed me to feel confident in approaching potential employers knowing that I could say "yes" to most of their questions.   Whether you are looking to brush up on your coding skills, or a complete novice wi...

    Web Development Full-Stack Coding Bootcamp

    I am one of the first cohort's graduates (September-October 2015).

    I had an amazing experience with DecodeMTL. The course is well designed and even if my brain had some hard time here and there, everything went pretty smoothly. The lead instructor Ziad Saab has a genuine sense for teaching.
     
    The course is really intensive but this is what makes the environment so dynamic. As we were only twelve students, the atmosphere was somehow like a family and we are ...
