    The web development course that change the life of many people and mine, for better.

    I really recommend this course if you are looking to properly learn and have a great start in the web development industry. Overall, you need to be prepared to work hard and interact with other peers during the course. The interaction part is very important, not only because you can learn new software development techniques such as pair programming, but also because you will work better in a team, discussing diverse approaches.
    The course is intensive and well organized, every week yo...

    A very intense course

    This is definitely a course for someone who really wants to be a web developer. If you're only a little bit interested and fancy giving web development a try then go elsewhere because this course is not for you. The pace of the course is very fast and a lot of material is thrown your way. Be prepared to work long hours and be seriously challenged. It is also a very practical course. Don't expect any books or PowerPoint slides - a lot of stuff is live coded in front of you. There i...

    A very intensive but rewarding course

    I was in the January 2015 cohort of WeGotCoders. Working for years as a linguist, I joined the course with the aim to make a career change and enter the web development industry. It proved to be the right choice. One year and a half later I have a full time job as a web developer and I plan to keep progressing in this field.

    The course was really intensive and sometimes hard to keep up with. People interested in the course shall be prepared to fully commit for these three months ...

    The best way to become a web developer

    I was in the January 2016 cohort and it was one of the best experiences of my life. 12 weeks of intense web development, we worked hard and we played hard and we all emerged as web developers ready to work in the real world. I'm writing this review as a full time employed web developer in London, this program works! 

    Being able to live in a mansion during the course is not just amazing but highly recommended, as I genuinely believe that being completely immersed with highly enthu...

    Web development fast track

    When I arrived at We Got Coders I had a lot of doubts about my abilities and lack of experience.  Over the next few weeks they quickly disappeared.  It’s a very intensive course, but Dan and Lorin made sure that nobody got left behind, making themselves available in the evenings and at weekends.  The fact that we were living in a mansion with an amazing chef didn’t hurt either.  In a very short time they helped me turn myself from a complete novice, to a capable web developer, ...

    Truly become a professional

    TL;DR Brilliant course, best in the country in my opinion. Definitely will result in a job if you work hard.

    This course is about seriously learning to become a web developer. Be prepared to spend most of every day, all day, studying code in a relaxed, fun and friendly environment. While it remains focused on teaching, learning and code, it does this in a way which is relaxed and non pressured. There is great support, and the mentor is live in as well so he is available pretty mu...

    Fast track your career in web development

    I had recently graduated university with a degree in Computer Science and was looking for some practical experience in Web Development. I found this course and applied hoping to gain the skills required to work professionally in the area and left with a job as a full stack web developer. The instructor Dan took us from the basics of Ruby to building multiple fully tested applications. His approach of gradually building on each layer of the stack helped the entire cohort gain an in depth un...

    Condense 2 years+ of University learning into 3 months and come out industry ready!

    I went to WeGotCoders as part of University work experience and came out of it into a well paid job as a full stack Ruby on Rails developer. Having been taking part in Computer Games Development at University for 3 years, I had some of the basics down, but by 6 weeks in everyone was on the same level, and by 12 weeks in we covered most of my University course, and were all immediately employed after the end of the course.

    I would highly reccomend anyone, regardless of their ...

    Not just another Web Development course

    I would like to start this review by saying that We Got Coders is not just another web development course but an idea. Dan Garland, the founder and the lead instructor of We Got Coders has finally bridged the gap between developers with a theoretical background and today’s market requirements, by providing them with hands-on experience on the best practices of Agile Web Development.

    During the course we were able to immerse in the ins and o...

    The only dev bootcamp with a paid mentorship phase

    After self-learning Web Design I've also wanted to self-learn Web Development at home which proved harder/slower than I'd have liked it to be. I've wanted to speed up the learning process and have thoroughly researched all the intensive web development bootcamps in London area. We Got Coders was the only one offering a 3-month paid mentorship phase after the completion of the 3-month course (of course you'll have to show motivation and dedication to be granted it). The groups are kept small s...

    More bang for your buck

    I started the We Got Coders course in April 2014 and after much research, I decided that this was the place for me. Other similar coding courses offered the three months of training but seemed to offer very little when it came to acquiring a job after. We Got Coders' three month mentoring phase, including giving paid work experience (which I am currently on) and higher chance of a full time position after, is what sold it for me. The intensity of the course is high, the rate at which you're...

A coding bootcamp can propel your career in tech to new heights, but that often means quitting a job, uprooting your life, or moving to a new city .
