Skillcrush is a woman-owned, independent, online coding & design school founded in 2012. Skillcrush offers both free and paid programs, including the self-paced Break Into Tech + Job Guarantee program, which prepares students for entry-level positions in front end development and design. Skillcrush is on a mission to empower career changers — with a special focus on women and BIPOC — with the technical skills they need to transition into higher-earning, more fulfilling and flexible careers in tech.
Students who enroll in the Break Into Tech program will have access to both the Front End Developer and Designer career tracks. The curriculum covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, Github, visual design fundamentals, and more. Once students complete the technical skill building portion of the Break Into Tech (about 16-20 weeks), they receive 180 days of hands-on job search support including 1-on-1 and group coaching, and the opportunity to interview with Skillcrush employer partners.
Skillcrush is an open enrollment school, so no application is necessary. Skillcrush has trained over 20,000 students, and has an over 90% success rate of placing students in qualified jobs with an average time to get hired of 8-10 weeks.
Skillcrush offers tuition assistance for people who are unemployed, full-time students, and current or former military service members. Skillcrush encourages students to email hello@skillcrush.com to discuss payment options.
I just finished the first in the series of course within the blueprint program, and I am really digging it. They do a good job of taking an absolute beginner and showing them how to code in a clear and straightforward way. If you were already pretty knowledgeable, it might be too beginner, but they have other programs for more advanced students.

I just finished the first in the series of course within the blueprint program, and I am really digging it. They do a good job of taking an absolute beginner and showing them how to code in a clear and straightforward way. If you were already pretty knowledgeable, it might be too beginner, but they have other programs for more advanced students.
I had looked at lot of other bootcamps and courses, but this one was recommended by a friend. I like that it is affordable but was a little worried that it might not be as thorough or in-depth as pricier options. However, I feel like I am learning a LOT. Have no idea how it compares to other programs since I haven't taken others, but Skillcrush seems like the real deal.
I was also concerned that an online course could be another one of those situations where you sign up and then it's hard to stay motivated and work through the modules or whatever. But the way they have it set up really works for me. They give you chunks of info and challenges to complete each days. And they are manageable chunks. You CAN go at your own pace, but I find that having it all laid out on a weekly and daily basis keeps me focused and consistent.
Also, you get to interact with other students and instructors through Mightybell. It helps immensely that you can get help on trouble spots this way. Additionally, Skillcrush offers a lot of office hours/hangouts where you can ask questions or get help or whatever. Then they also have lots of extras they send...webinars and links to information that's useful and help on how to get a job etc.
Their customer service is outstanding as well. The couple times I've had to email someone, they've responded promptly and been super helpful and easy to work with. For instance, initially I goofed and signed up for the wrong class. It was a painless process for them to un-enroll me and then get me in the right program.
Anyway...it's a great program as far as I can tell. I haven't yet made use of the job help stuff but plan to. I've just been focused on learning the material so far. But, it seems like they are always sending info about job skills and finding work. I just didn't rate them on job assistance because I don't know much about that part of the program yet.
