I took a rather expensive class here last year. Curriculum seemed pretty good, teacher was knowledgeable - but it had a very 'puppy mill' (except for coders) vibe to it. Classroom was very rustic, and the entire class was taught via projector. I would have expected more flexibility for people who chose a part-time class.

I did not think the quality was bad, i just think the quality was bad for the price. They seemed very poorly organized; and seemed to lean very heavily on the teacher, and the community at PCS. PCS itself would arange tours, and send out job notices.
I was not suprised to see they have shuttered, as they were never licensed to operate in the state. I dont know what their current status is, but I consider that a coutionary tale - these code schools are very popular right now, do your research, and compare and contrast the experience to some of the online courses that are far cheaper, and far more flexible.

Amazing!
I don't normally write reviews but after I happened upon the previous review I just had to share my amazing experience.
I chose Portland Code School because of the atmosphere, including management. The team members here do so much to make your education experience and postgraduate placement a success. Getting an entire industry to see the benefits of this alternative education style is hard work but Portland Code School's community engagement and connection...

I chose Portland Code School because of the atmosphere, including management. The team members here do so much to make your education experience and postgraduate placement a success. Getting an entire industry to see the benefits of this alternative education style is hard work but Portland Code School's community engagement and connections give graduates a name they are proud to carry and that helps them find jobs. I would recommend the style of technical education PCS give to anyone looking to try out this industry for fully move into it.

Unprofessional
This school has issues. Went to an open house, the Asst Mgr walked around cleaning, hardly talked to any potential students, not friendly at all. The school told potential students it would communicate with all applicants on a certain Monday, , still by Thursday no update, no communication whatsoever. Spoke with some other potential students, similar experiences. Amateur hour at PCS.
