Web / Mobile Development Bootcamp

If you are looking to change career and get a job in tech I would definitely recommend the JavaScript Full-Stack Bootcamp at Barcelona Code School.

The course is challenging and intense but the instructors are attentive and always on hand if you have any questions or doubts. For me the bootcamp approach was a very new learning experience but I did enjoy it and proud of getting through it. The projects are very hands on and a great way to test your skills.  

Be prepared to work hard and don’t underestimate the course. However with effort and determination you will enjoy the experience and be amazed at how much you learn!

I took a web development bootcamp because of the stack they teach. I looked for the bootcamp that teaches React and BCS appeared to be one of a few doing that. The approach they use is friendly for the beginners and they don’t leave anyone falling behind. With React we’ve built a mobile app during the course which was one of my goals and then a large final web app. I learned tons of stuff and it improved my freelancer’s skills dramatically. 

The daily workflow is intensive and challenging, it’s all about writing tons of code and practicing with projects, no useless talks or useless lectures, everything is hands-on and very practical. The async stuff we did is mind blowing but once you figure that out you feel like a codestar. I’ve always been good with computers but this took me to another level. 

Make sure to ask all the questions you have during the course because the instructors are super friendly and helpful. I also practiced on weekends even though some people didn’t. I think it helped me. Honestly, I didn’t think I’d be capable of learning the server-side and databases since I’ve never touched them in my life. Turns out it’s not that impossible. And I should mention the campus they have - it’s a really nice place, calm and quiet with a terrace and everything new. 

Hi!

I've always loved programming, but made a carreer as a lawyer. This year I decided to give it a try. I needed a good programing school, but I didn't want to do all the things that they do in those huge cool coding schools, like going to the bar or whatever. So I found a school with less students, sure, where I could concentrate on learning without any stupid distractions. This is totally it. I mean I just don't have time to go to the bars, I'm to busy writing code. And now I'm starting to really get it. 

I've just spent 9 weeks learning JavaScript in BCS. What can I say. It's definitely worth it. I started as a beginner, but I've never felt stupid or unattended.

At first I was nervous to learn Javascript in a new country, but those nerves quickly went away after meeting with the BCS team. It did not take me long to feel comfortable at the school, as they are all so kind and friendly. They took the time to answer all of my questions about the program to make sure I was comfortable. Aside from the kind staff, the office space is wonderful. It is modern and welcoming, with a wide open floor plan that makes it easy to learn with an open mind. Not only is the inside beautiful, but there is a terrace that looks perfect for taking a break or having a snack. BCS also has an ideal Barcelona location, as it is the heart of the city yet away from tourists. When I left the office, I also noticed many delicious lunch spots that would be great to try out after class. After such a nice tour, I think that Barcelona Code School will be the one for me!

This summer I had the opportunity to tour BCS  and was very satisfied! I was lucky enough to come in when one of the classes was in progress and the students were so focused, I was very  impressed. The class size was quite small, which I thought was a nice learning environment. I was also shocked at how low their price was compared to the other schools I had researched prior to my visit. BCS seems like the best option, at least for me!
