WBS Coding School is a hybrid tech bootcamp in Europe that teaches students to become web developers, data scientists, marketing analysts, or digital product designers in 4-6 months. Students can choose to attend online or on-campus in Berlin, Germany. The bootcamps offer a hands-on learning experience, personal feedback sessions, guided live lessons, job interview training, and a project-based curriculum to build a solid portfolio.
Full-time bootcamps follow a unique hybrid concept: the first 13 weeks take place online and students who choose to travel to Berlin will get the chance to simulate the experience of a real-working environment for the final 2 weeks of the bootcamp. Tuition includes room and board for the 2 weeks on campus. WBS Coding School's part-time bootcamp lasts 26 weeks. Part-time bootcamps consist of three-hour evening classes every Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and a full day of teaching on Saturdays.
WBS Coding School does not require applicants to have any previous coding experience. Applicants should be 18+ years old and proficient in English.

Thankfully my advisor at the Job Federal Ministry pointed WBS Coding School to me.
The curriculum itself is ambitious and extensive but provides a rich overview of both the software development industry as a whole and Javascript-based environments in particular. The fact that it's structured as an hybrid bootcamp (12 weeks online / 3 weeks on-campus) really help me progressively integrate it in my life, also, the 15-week duration was key in my decision as most bootcamps are just 9 weeks long and I thought it wouldn't be enough for me.
The lead and junior instructors are really patient, knowledgeable and give their everything for you to understand the topics at hand. The staff is amazing and always welcoming. The job support is equally good workshops, guest speakers and personalized coaching.
Finally, but definitely the most enjoyable part of this journey: you'll meet amazing people. I had the fortune of having amazing classmates from different cultural and academic backgrounds, that fostered a really ideas-rich environments in which to thrive, and you can always count of them to help you through. After or 3 weeks in Berlin, I believe we ended up as friends for life, and I'm really looking forward to future collaborations with any of them!- Btissam AsbaiApplicant • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • BerlinJul 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
From zero to hero!
I started this bootcamp with especially a lot of confusion about coding. All these youtube videos, mini bootcamps etc really made me feel like the dumbest person ever.
While I was looking for a serious platform, I found out that at WBS school they were about to start with a Full Stack Web and App development boot camp. I previously did some other courses at WBS and they are really really good. So I went for the Coding Bootcamp with almost zero knowledge.

The course is fast paced but the teachers are incredibly patient! They make sure you keep up and they have for every student an approach that suits them best. I never knew that I would be capable of learning and creating so much awesome stuff, just in 12 weeks!!
The highlight and the biggest advantage that WBS Codingschool offers is definitely the last 3 weeks on Campus!! No other school offers a real life experience like this!! Being in a fancy „Vegetarian-hotel„ for 3 weeks, with your classmates, teacher and coaches for 3 weeks working on your final project, that is just awesome!! The team spirit, the live-coaching, your teacher and other teachers available on site to help you in every step of the way; that is priceless!!!
I made friends for life, created awesome apps and am much more confident about my capabilities.
And as cherry on the cake, I landed a job one week before end of the course.
I can only recommend! - GregFull stack Developer • Graduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • BerlinJun 25, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The best bootcamp
I have taken the 15-week long course with WBS Coding School and I'm super excited to be one of the early graduates from that school. I have learned a lot of new things for my whole life and obtained essential tech knowledge and skills as a full-stack developer thanks to the well-designed curriculum and highly professional staff at the school. You are highly encouraged to go through this perfect experience! - AnonymousStudent • Data Science Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineNov 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

With 11 years of experience in the insurance industry in India, transitioning to Germany posed a challenge.

Entering the boot camp with zero IT language knowledge seemed daunting, but WBS proved to be the perfect choice. The diverse mix of students in the class, many like me with limited technical background, created a supportive environment. The standout feature, however, was the experienced trainers. They not only comprehensively understood the needs of the students but also engaged in direct one-on-one interactions, making the learning experience enjoyable and effective.
The well-structured course accommodated even those without an IT background, ensuring a thorough understanding of concepts like SQL and Python. The key to success in this program lies in giving your 100% during classes and maintaining open communication throughout the session. I am grateful to the faculty for guiding me through this wonderful journey, making the boot camp a resounding success. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineNov 02, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Incredile
The course are well managed, very well structured. Teachers are great, and follow you up day to day ! I never code before the bootcamp and now I can do Deep learning, it's incredible. Might be tough sometimes, because it's a bootcamp but the teachers and the school take the time to listen to you if you are lost. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp (part-time) • OnlineOct 23, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

However, I believe there is room for improvement in terms of career support. Incorporating real-world projects or connections with companies could enhance the learning experience by providing a glimpse into the life of a designer beyond the classroom. Additionally, fostering more interactions among batches would be beneficial, as it can lead to valuable networking and collaboration opportunities. - AnonymousGraduate • Data Science Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineAug 28, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intense Program: Beneficial for STEM Degree Holders Seeking Additional Skills

Initially, I was informed that upon finishing the course, one could opt for any data career path and that the employment rate stood at 90%, among other claims. However, my perspective shifted considerably a few months later when I confronted the reality.
The program is demanding and packed with content. Spanning a mere 14 weeks, it encompasses Data Analysis, Engineering, and Data Science. Naturally, the scope of knowledge imparted remains somewhat shallow. A substantial portion of the instruction felt rushed, with projects completed without a profound grasp of the underlying mathematical principles. Both the junior instructors and the main instructor are program alumni, proficient at guiding through projects but less effective at conveying what the professional world anticipates. Regrettably, their insight into their own data career path, which is somewhat lacking.
In a conversation with an alumnus, I learned that fewer than 40% of their batch secured employment within six months. Upon conversing with industry peers, it dawned on me that I'm competing directly with individuals who hold master's degrees. Without a STEM master's degree and some coding background, your CV is swiftly discarded. While those transitioning from a STEM background might find the course an entry point into the data realm, I am hesitant to claim it's universally suitable. Contrary to its portrayal as a fast track to financial success and life transformation, a career in Data Science is difficult even for people with solid science background.
The support for career progression is adequate, with only three general workshops available. However, I've discovered that other bootcamps offer 1 to 1 personalized career coaching, which is particularly crucial for career changers. Additionally, the course concluded without any guidance on constructing a robust portfolio. I invested a considerable amount of time researching and revisiting material from other bootcamps and their graduates portfolio. Unfortunately, this is an area where this bootcamp really falls short.
In terms of the course content, I would rate it 4 stars. It's evident that the staff has dedicated considerable effort to developing the curriculum.
However, when evaluating the course's effectiveness in assisting career changers, I would give it 2 stars. Particularly for individuals lacking a STEM degree who are contemplating a career change and questioning if this course is the right path, it falls short. I recommend considering a Data Analyst course instead. Such a program is more feasible; in just five months, you can create a remarkably impressive portfolio with a specific focus. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • Hybrid (Online & In-person)Jul 11, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

You get a lot of material to learn and since it's an intensive course it's sometimes hard to keep up, but since there is no grading process the pressure is bearable and in group projects you can learn a lot with your colleagues and from each other.

But the staff is generally very friendly! The company is modern and represents values that I share. The atmosphere in the last two weeks on site was warm and supportive and the campus is a wonderful place.
If there was any criticism from my side, it was always taken seriously and directly implemented if possible and realistic. - AnonymousGraduate • Full-Stack Web & App Development Bootcamp (full-time) • OnlineJul 10, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging but are rewarding
I think it’s a great way to break into tech or solidify pre existing web dev knowledge. Coming with zero coding experience, it will be really challenging and you’ll probably need some more months after the boot camp to practice (in order to find a job in the field). However, if you have already studied Web Dev for a while and have been looking for a way to practice and deepen your understanding to be ready to apply for jobs (my personal situation), I can also recommend this Bootcamp!
