    A Sound Investment

    Decode provided a comprehensive bootcamp in becoming a web developer, with an emphasis on fundamentals and continuous learning. Additionally, Decode provided the necessary knowledge and tools in starting a career as either a front-end, back-end, or fullstack developer using JavaScript and/or Node.js, along with understanding and using a framework (React) and other tools.

    Overall, the instruction was great and the teaching assistants were for the most part excellent. I feel that mor...

    New life!

    When I first got the idea of doing a coding boot camp, I felt like it was a huge risk. And truthfully, it can be! I quit my perfectly fine job and enrolled in Decode because I wanted to make a fast change.

    It's really crazy what you can do in just 8 weeks. If you're bored by your current job, industry, whatever - and want to make a super quick change into a computer science career, this is the program for you. If your end goal is to get a programming job ASAP, Decode is the right s...

    The career pivot that went beyond my expectation

    Honnestly before doing the bootcamp I wasn't sure what I should expect from it, either some more technical knowledge on my resume which would have been valuable (for a career Web- related)  or enough skills / confidence / pleasure to start a new career. 

    That was the later. 120%. 

    The curriculum (React / Vanilla JS / Node ) where we solely focused on Javascript was one of the reason I choose this bootcamp over the other ones in MTL. Why ? because I trully believe it off...

    Well worth the investment

    Decode is the perfect fit for anyone looking to get a job as a junior web developer. Everything about the course is relevant and practical. 

    When it came to job applications, Kevin was outstanding in coaching me through the process. He is extremely well connected in Montreal and which is a huge advantage for decode students. I was fortunate enough to land a job a few weeks after graduating.

    To make the most of your experience, I would strongly suggest you follow many of...

    Learn by doing

    DecodeMtl does exactly what it promises. It is a high intensity bootcamp, where they will provide all the necessary tools and resources for you to come out as a competent web developer. They provide you with great instructors, resources and teaches you by making you write lots and lots of code. I am a software engineering student and had a fair bit of coding experience before joining the bootcamp (not in JavaScript though). So naturally, at first I was worried if this course was too basic for...

    Relevant and Effective

    I had a solid experience with Decode despite having very little programming experience. The stacks that were taught are extremely relevant in my opinion. I landed a job as a Wordpress developer after graduating, and with my experience in sales and management, I feel comfortable leading a team of developers.

    Pros:

    -Intense and gruelling; best way to learn

    -Project-based (you're writing code all the time and producing original applications)

    Great experience.

    Good experience. A high value was taken from only 8 weeks of the Bootcamp. Good assistance, and job application support.  Great location and overall coding vibes.

    Big promises, actually delivered.

    I was skeptical about bootcamps in general. Comp sci students take a minimum of three years to be ready to apply for software development jobs.

    However, the 8 week program really gave me enough practical knowledge to be able to do well in the position I'm in now (funded, high-growth startup). To my own surprise, I passed the technical interview "with flying colours". Most comp sci graduates finish school with really good theoretical knowledge of how to build algorithms and the li...

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐, would decode again

    TL;DR - Before Decode, I had no experience with coding. 10 weeks later, I had a job. 

    If you're considering DecodeMTL, I would highly recommend it. There is seemingly endless ways of learning web-development, but for me Decode made the most sense.

    Decode is an intense two months, but if you throw yourself into it, you will be in a good position to succeed afterwards.

    Everyday, you have tutorials for several hours in the morning, and ...

    Awesome Bootcamp!

    My experience at DecodeMTL was extremely rewarding. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to launch their career in web development, regardless of your background. The class size is small and very dynamic. You will learn a lot and work a lot - expect to spend your days and evenings there. If you are looking for an easy pass into learning how to code, this is definitely not it. Decode will teach you everything you need to know, and have a really good support system with the TA's, bu...

    One of my best decisions

    Being an immigrant, securing a decent job without a Canadian university degree is a real challenge. I consider myself fortunate to have discovered this bootcamp, as it opened doors for me to enter the field of data science. It's undoubtedly demanding and rigorous, necessitating long hours of study, but the rewards are well worth the time and effort invested. Moreover, the support from the bootcamp team post-graduation was exceptional. I want to express my special gratitude to Kevin Khour...

    Depending on circumstances.

    Very informative, helps with getting familiar with the technical languages. It is intensive but everything is taught a satisfying level. Although I wished they taught sql too since it used more often. If you're someone who doesn't have any background knowledge in coding then it can be tough and after you finish, it is still kind of hard to get a job as you are someone with no background, if I were to go back in time, as someone who didn't have any background in coding I would have done a...
