4Geeks Academy

The representative on the phone was giving me prices, even before we discussed the payment options, that don't match anything on the website. As a matter of fact, their price for the same online course varies from 3850-4600 if you pay upfront, whereas the representative was trying to sell me on the plan for 5300 telling me that he just applied some 1k discount to make it sound like a good deal. When I noticed when the website says and mentioned to him, on the next day he offered me to pay 4500. Overall, everything on their website is super confusing i.e. "*Discount up to €1700. From €4600 instead of €6300" or "pay upfront and get a discount", but turns out there is no additional discount. Anyhow, when I called him out on this later and tried to clarify how they come up with their prices, he avoided the question, got very rude and demanded that I pay up 6300 for the whole thing. 
On top of everything, this is a coding bootcamp, but they have failed to provide a safe payment system online and instead ask to make a weird wire transfer, or pay with crypto, which is super sketchy. They say you can pay by card, but that is actually not the case. These people just can't be trusted.

This bootcamp was quite the adventure. I still can't believe how much I learned in just 18 weeks! I would have loved to stay in the program even longer just to learn more. It was a productive environment and it encouraged me to think differently and engage more with the other students to observe their way of approaching a problem. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone who is a self learner and is ready to put in the work to come out the other side with more knowledge and a new technological perspective. Read less

I started the course in April and currently I am in the final phase, working with my team on the final project. It has been a roller coaster of emotions and feelings, but I would definitely do it again. 
Throughout the course we got support from both our teacher and the teacher assistant. You can ask for mentorship sessions to build up on certain things or, in case you did not understand something, to review. It is very important that you ask questions. Revise, read everything there is to read and attend those sessions. You can't just attend the classes and call it a day. You need to program outside of the scheduled classes as well and the more you do, the better for you. Every module has at least one project, which has several levels and you can add more functionalities. I always tried to personalize things to make them more interesting. Sky really is the limit! 
At the beginning things look very overwhelming and scary, but once you notice the pattern and you reflect upon your progress, you realize that it works. You just need to have faith in the course and the way things are done. Talk to your classmates, to your teachers. Don't believe what that little voice in your head is telling you. Everybody struggles, some people are doing the exercises faster, some people are slower. Some are better in one module, but completely suck at the other one. Just keep on coding, it will get easier after some time.
What I do definitely recommend is to reduce working hours when working on the final project. If you can, even take a vacation. Don't underestimate the task, you will need to code every single day and you most probably will face some technical issues which will require time. Read less

4geeks bootcamp was intense! It was 18+ weeks of complete immersion into the world of programing. I loved the hands-on approach they provided; for almost every class we had homework to do and it kept us focused on the task at hand. There were times the course got a bit overwhelming, but that's only natural when there's so much to learn in a short period of time. One of the best features of this bootcamp are the mentorships. There is always someone available to help, not to mention the whole 4geeks community who is very active on slack. During the course, Javier Seiglie and Bruno Marques helped me a lot with their mentorships, which made the whole experience a lot lighter.
If I could go back in time, I still would have chosen this bootcamp to get me started in the field. Read less

Como estudiante del bootcamp de Full Stack Developer en 4Geeks, no puedo más que expresar mi gratitud y satisfacción por la experiencia. Unirme a este programa fue una decisión arriesgada -porque te cambia la vida- que no me arrepiento de haber tomado.

El ritmo de las clases y de los proyectos está muy bien organizado y pensado para que aprendas progresivamente, con la cantidad de 'estrés' necesario para avanzar y sentirte desafiada, sin caer en la frustración que impide seguir adelante. 

Hay 10 horas de clases semanales y le dediqué el mismo tiempo o más fuera de clases para poder cumplir con los proyectos que se exigen en cada etapa. 
La dinámica de la clase también es muy interesante porque es esencialmente práctico y vas rotando con distintos compañeros para aprender en equipo y apoyarte en el conocimiento de los demás. 

El último mes te embarcas en la elaboración de un proyecto final que lleva muchísima dedicación y vas afianzando los contenidos, en equipo y con mucho apoyo y orientación de profesores y mentores.

El equipo de 4Geeks está formado por verdaderos profesionales en el campo de la tecnología y el desarrollo web. Su pasión y dedicación por enseñar son evidentes en cada clase y mentoría. 

Lo más destacable es el conocimiento que tienen del proceso emocional que implica realizar el bootcamp, por eso están siempre anticipando los altibajos y las dificultades brindando apoyo adicional.

Otro punto a destacar es el enfoque en proyectos prácticos y del mundo real, con un toque de diversión para hacerlo más ameno. El bootcamp es esencialmente práctico y colaborativo, una experiencia de aprendizaje distinta a las tradicionales. 

Además, 4Geeks tiene una amplia red de contactos y oportunidades de networking, esto te hace sentir mucho más acompañado cuando te lanzas a la búsqueda de empleo. Te acompañan paso a paso en la elaboración de tu CV y en la preparación de tus entrevistas. Sabes que cuentas con una comunidad de apoyo en estos primeros años de carrera.

The course is complete in everything I needed. The content is updated and there are several exercises available for us to practice. The teachers seem to know a lot and this was very helpful when we got stuck in some parts of the learning process. And also the benefit of having lifetime mentorship put this bootcamp at the top.

I chose 4Geeks Academy for its syllabus and its mentorship program. Overall, all the material they offer is enough to take it as a lead to continue researching the topic. Here you learn by building and struggling, which in my opinion is the optimal way to avoid tutorial hell. Nonetheless, if you feel blocked, they're always open to offering you help and guidance.

Not only they are great professionals, but they are super friendly as well, which makes learning easier and more enjoyable.  Read less

I did a lot of reading before choosing 4Geeks Academy, but as soon as I made up my mind I knew I had done the right thing. After completing the course I could not be more satisfied. The previous preparation is great, affordable and enjoyable, the teachers are also very nice, super focused on the present, what you are going to find yourself working on, nothing to delve into obsolete methodologies, and the accompaniment of the academy so that you pass the course and find a job as soon as possible, 10.
I'm just sorry I didn't find them sooner.
---------------
Antes de elegir a 4Geeks Academy leí mucho, pero en cuanto me decidí sabía que había hecho lo correcto. Tras finalizar el curso no puedo estar más satisfecha. La preparación previa estupenda, asequible y amena, los profesores además de muy agradables, súper enfocados en el presente, en lo que te vas a encontrar trabajando, nada de ahondar en metodologías en desuso, y el acompañamiento de la academia para que superes el curso y encuentres trabajo cuanto antes, de 10. Solo me da pena no haberlos encontrado antes.

An excellent alternative for starting out in the world of programming

For the past 16 weeks, I have been learning how to completely develop a web application at 4Geeks, and I have really enjoyed it.

In the first weeks of the course, we covered the basics of front-end development (html, css, javascript, and react), as well as complementary technologies required for working in an office environment (git, command line, etc).

Subsequently, the training focused on interacting with APIs, before creating one with SQLAlchemy, Python, and Flask. As well, we learned how to limit access to the API information.

The last part of the course was a four-week final project that consisted of building a complete web application that put all the knowledge learned in the course to the test through a stream on the academy's YouTube channel.

In each class, we had a teacher and an assistant who taught us the bases to carry out the exercises of the program meticulously. I have also benefited from unlimited mentoring provided by the school, which helped me to strengthen my knowledge and resolve any doubts I had throughout the bootcamp.

In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of the academy is that all the teachers and mentors have been very willing to thoroughly teach me the content and to ensure that I understand the technologies. It's an atmosphere that's focused on total collaboration and helping you learn as much as possible (even remotely).

4Geeks is a great place to learn how to program, and with dedication on your part, you will surely learn a great deal about programming. Read less

Muchos son los valientes que se embarcan en el heroico camino del aprendizaje del desarrollo de software desde las profundidades del desconocimiento, virando su destino de la aburrida vida ordinaria al maravilloso mundo del desarrollo... y terminan perdidos, sin los conocimientos o las habilidades necesarias para aprovechar las herramientas a su disposición.

Bueno, pues eso no les hubiera ocurrido de haber estudiado en 4Geeks Academy. Con un currículum bien pensado, focalizado en enseñar de manera eficiente y rápida, pero con la profundidad necesaria las herramientas más demandadas en la actualidad, en 16 intensas semanas de aprendizaje estarás preparado para dar tus primeros pasos en este mundo entrando con buen pie. 

En este momento, si bien está sujeto a cambios para mantenerse siempre a la vanguardia del mercado, se enseña JavaScript con React para el desarrollo Frontend y Python con Flask para el desarrollo Backend, además de otras herramientas y conocimientos básicos, siendo estas tecnologías unas de las más demandadas (si no las más) en el actual mercado laboral del desarrollo.

Si bien el curso es intenso y exigente, 4Geeks Academy ofrece mucho más de lo que demanda y, sin duda, puede ser el punto de inflexión perfecto en la vida de muchas personas que, como yo, opten por dar un giro radical a su vida haciendo un cambio de carrera y accediendo a uno de los mercados más grandes (y con mejores sueldos) en la actualidad.

Además de esto, cabe destacar que, no solo cuentan con profesores y mentores muy bien preparados, si no que ofrecen apoyo para la búsqueda de empleo (incluyendo preparación para las temidas entrevistas técnicas) y un sistema de mentorías vitalicio, con lo que siempre podrás contar con el apoyo de la academia, incluso tiempo después de haber concluido la formación básica en ella.
