    Definitely worth to try

    I decided to change career path and finally work in something I like. Thanks to spiced and it’s wonderful teachers, I finally work in something do something that I enjoy. I found an internship one month after graduating, and currently a trainee software developer. So if you are motivated to work intensively during 3 months, (and maybe go through some weekly mental breakdowns lol) then just go for it! Definitively worth the hard work.

    Worth the brainwash! :D

    My time at Spiced Academy was a super career-reset. After making the tough decision of a career switch during the pandemic, there was also choosing the right school. I read online about bootcamps in Berlin and they always mentioned that it can be a nerve cracking experience if you are not mentally prepared and highly motivated. I had already decided about Full Stack Web Development after discussing with friends in the field and online research. 

    I believe the curriculum at Spiced ...

    Challenging but worth it

    I did the course after quitting my job as I really wanted to be a Developer for around 2 years. So my decision involved a lot of research in advance because it wouldn't be an easy way either. After multiple talks and invitations at different providers, I quickly wanted to be part of SPICED. My personal reasons for that were primarily the curriculum --> modern frameworks, a lot of JS and working on/creating multiple projects each week to really have something of your own work to show a...

    Fullstack Kickstarter

    The Overall experience of the Boot Camp was really Nice. The instructors were Really helpful and the curriculum was very well constructed. First we learned the basics off css and javascript then we had two big projects that were made with react and vue.
    The graduation project was a Projektei of our choice with a framework of our choice.
    10 graduation project was actually the most fun, because it was the first time you really saw what you learned in practice.

    12 weeks intensive Data Science

    I completed the 12 weeks intensive course in Data Science in Berlin this June-Sept. It was without a doubt one of the best times and I want venture as far to say life-changing. The faculty and staff were, and remain, extremely helpful and supportive. Course content can be challenging as it really is quite a lot (a new topic every week), but totally worth the time, and you will never not receive help if you ask. The bootcamp gives a great overview of various topics and teaches valuable (t...

    Frontend Engineer

    This web development Bootcamp was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my life. But it is well worth it. In the first place, I had too many concerns regarding my background because I have spent 7 years as a lawyer and when I decided to make a career change, I had literally no idea about web development and had no coding experience. I still can not believe but I found a position just after 2 months of finishing my Bootcamp, first as an intern and now as an FE engineer in the same c...

    Great Data Science Course

    This bootcamp is a great opportunity to get into this area in Germany without any German language requirements, also worth joining for Germans who would like to learn in an international atmosphere. When I heard about SPICED, I didn't hesitate to register and try to get the funding from Agentur für Arbeit. The course was indeed intensive, but I completed every project in the end and had a lot of fun. The teachers are good at what they do. The career coaching ...

    Great experience!

    Hey! I completed the Full Stack Development course and I had a great time at Spiced Academy. They were really helpful with the process of admission and to get the financial support from the Arbeitsamt. The pace is fast but with the amount of things we learn in such a short period of time, there is no other way to do it. Now I want to learn more 🙂

    Amazing learning experience!

    Learning web development at Spiced Academy was a fantastic experience! I joined the full-stack web development program. The admission team is very friendly and informative, though the entry assignment is quite challenging but worth it! As a German citizen or resident, you can benefit from state aid and get an approximative 60% grant.

    Every teacher was great and supportive. I went from no code to build a simple web application using all the latest industry tech stack.

    Great learning experience despite remote due to lockdown

    The bootcamp is an excellent opportunity to get into Web Development, both Frontend and Backend. Teachers are friendly and the atmosphere is great, even though completely remote due to Covid lockdown restrictions. Although I wasn't a complete beginner, I learned a lot. The content can be quite challenging some times. So as a beginner, I would definitely recommend to take the prep material seriously and tune in for some hard but fun work.

    My experience at SPICED

    I'll start off by saying that we were the first cohort to be 100% beginning to end online. That would be worrying as so much of the experience would be lost, or so I thought.. SPICED adapted incredibly well, and the instructors were beyond incredible. 

    My entrance exam was returned to me after the first attempt because I didn't know the difference between a return and a console.log (except that they show different colors on the br...
