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.

The course I apploed to is the full Wordpress Bootcamp, which includes the Front End Developer Blueprint, the Wordpress Developer Blueprint, and the Visual Design Blueprint. So far I am only at the end of my second week into the course, and I am loving every single minute of it!
The lessons are designed so that they are easy to complete in less than an hour a day (yet some offer extra resources and links to blog entries that you can look at freely should you have more time on your hands). The instructor explains everything in a way that is specific to that lesson - no more, no less - so that the student can understand everything they need to complete that day's lesson, yet not feel overwhelmed with extra info that they don't need to know just yet.
I also appreciate the hidden humor in most of the lesson videos and documents - who doesn't appreciate an extra little laugh a day - such as the silly sentences used to illustrate examples of formatting, etc. I often find myself giggling to myself when watching the videos which takes alot of pressure off and makes the overall lesson that much more enjoyable. :)
In the past couple of weeks, this course has become the hilight of my day, and I find myself waking up excited and looking forward to the new lesson (and some days, when I have more time and just want a little more, I may also preview ahead and check the next day's lesson, too!)
I will add one thing: this program seems geared towards beginners and newbies (like me!) so I find myself learning something new every day! But it may not be for you if you already have some previous knowledge and experience in coding. I find it is the perfect pace for me to learn, and considering all that you can learn from the comfort of your own home, I find it well worth its value, and definitely more worth it for me than spending thousands on a college course with less flexibility and a whole bunch of other distractions and unnecessary classes (who really needs PE and algebra if that's not your focus of study?)
Final word? DEFINITELY RECOMMEND!!! (And THANK YOU Skillcrush!)
