    Highly Recommend

    NYCDA's Web Development Intensive is sometimes stressful, often frustrating, and 100% worth it. If your goal is to learn how to code, and to pursue a career in web development/software engineering, I couldn’t recommend NYCDA more highly. The instructors (I had Orlando), and Outcomes Coordinator (Krystal) work hard to put you in position to succeed, and to help you get the most out of yourself and the experience as a whole. Come ready to work, and this program is every bit as good as advert...

    Great return on investment

    Background - I had graduated from college in January, but realized I wanted to work in tech shortly after graduating. Needing a quick way to enter the field, I did a search for coding bootcamps after hearing about it from my friend in college. After looking at a few, I chose NYCDA for being one of the least, if not, the least expensive bootcamp as well as having noticed the friendliness of the staff at one of its Open Houses before I put my deposit.

    One of the best investments in education

    Let’s face it, the U.S. economy sucks right now for young people.  We don’t live in the same era as our baby boomer parents did, where graduating with a B.A. in some worthless degree would still present you a plethora of job opportunities.  This isn’t the case anymore.  After making questionable career choices in the past, I decided that my career was in dire need of a reboot as badly as Batman’s film career did in 2005.  Pursuing a STEM ca...

    Best Experience, Especially the Career Service!

    TL;DR: NYCDA's WDI class is great, Career Service Department is awesome, but you must work hard and teach yourself to become a great programmer.

    I recently graduate from the WDI class, and it was definitely one of the best decisions I ever made. 

    I had no prior experience in programming (of course I did some Codeacademy, but that's it), but I was always interested in the digital field and I was ready for a career change. I chose NYCDA because of their ...

    Review of Web Development Immersive

    I graduated the Web Development Immersive on December of last year. I had Orlando Caraballo and Jen Shannon as my instructors and Krystal as my outcomes coordinator. All three are exceptional at their job as they all hold the student's best interest in mind. I know the curriculum and job assistance has come under some flack, but these three people have made the overall experience much more rewarding.

    Orlando and Jen are very experienced instructors and definitely put me in a grea...

    Excellent Experience

    There are many ways to go about your tech journey, but NYCDA stands apart from them all.  It’s been less than a year since I have graduated from this school, but in that time it has expanded to several different locations.  This growth is a testament to the type of value NYCDA brings to its students.

    I believe NYCDA changed my life for the better.

    December 2014: My contract at a large pharmaceutical company as a data analyst was coming to an end. I was scrambling to find a job with my experience at a Fortune 500 company backed by a business degree from the University of Pittsburgh. Come March 2015, I’ve sent out metaphorical stacks of job applications with little prospects. I stopped what I was doing and began pursuing skillset that had more demand, computer programming.

    I attended the web intensive programs at NYCDA, It was hard but totally worth it. The professors are great, the staff is really helpful and specially Krystal Kaplan from the Career Service department who helped me to network with awesome people throughout the course, build my resume and gave me tons of advice, I was able to find a full time developer position a week after I graduated.

    The support is here... you have to make it work!

    I was very hesitant when coming to this campus. Having had a terrible experience with another bootcamp that was in its inception, NYCDA, has the full-fledge support system that makes sure that you leave knowing how to create well-done web applications and also knowing how to learn.  

    The intensive typically consists of daily lectures from 10-6pm, and to say that they throw info at you is an understatment. But luckly the support system is activated long before class...

    Amazing Experience

    Despite being a huge Unix geek and learning how to program a bit here and there, I ultimately decided not to pursue a career in software development. Around 5 years ago I realized it was time for a change and I started to learn Ruby / Ruby on Rails in my spare time. I eventually transitioned into working as a Junior Jr.™ Rails developer, getting freelance gigs when I could.

    I knew that I needed some more formal education in order to progress in my career,...

    Gave me a great start at getting back into coding!

    I had been a coder as a high school kid but since then, moved into the health field and into teaching. Now I wanted back into development. 

    I took their web intensive course and came out knowing my way around code once again with solid background in Ruby on Rails and Front end technologies but more importantly, I had the ability to learn more on my own and the understanding of how today's environments work.

    I have taken classes a few other places and NYCDA is the best! I started out with Web 100 and then moved on to the Frontend class as well as Angular. I loved it! Not only did I learn a ton, but they helped me land a job post taking the classes and I'm still working there today. Every class is what you put into it, but not only are the teachers great here, but the staff is attentive, checks in with everyone and makes a point of ensuring that you are getting what you need to be set ...
