    On Second Thought

    I will say that the evironment at Wyncode was asewome. The staff themselves were all amazing individuals. My situation and circumstances were I admit unsual for the typical student.  In the end they decided to dismiss me from the program.  to state the character of the organization, they offered my a refund. the terms of the agreement they offered was that I couldn't post an honest review of my time at Wyncode. I was told that it was there right as an organization to control the opinion of...

    Dear Nate,
     
    Thank you for sharing your review. We recognize the struggle you are currently facing in your personal life, and thus, understand that it was  extremely challenging for you to find the balance necessary to match  the demands of our rigorous program. 
     
    When we learned about your situation, we took it upon ourselves to help and support you as much as possible - as this is the spirit of our school and within our core values: we strive to help all individuals in our community to better themselves through education and collaboration. In doing so, we were flexible to allow you to re-enter our program, even after you had dropped out on two separate occasions. We tried accommodating your situation with extraordinary measures (which we have not offered to any other students in the past) because we understood that you were facing extraordinary circumstances yourself, thus, you were allowed to attend several different cohorts and as a team, we came together to fundraise a discretionary allowance with the hopes that it would help support you in your time of need.
     
    Wyncode Academy feels confident that as a team, we did everything in our power to to help you successfully complete the program - unfortunately, once your academic performance dropped well below our minimum requirements for a third time and your conduct became disruptive to other students in the program, we had no choice but to withdraw your participation in the full time program. Making this choice was a very difficult one for Wyncode, but it was one we had to make to ensure the quality of the experience and the success of our students.
     
    Wyncode is proud of the way in which we attempted to handle this difficult situation, but understand how disappointing it must feel on your side. Although we went above and beyond to try to help, ultimately it did not work out and we are disappointed in that too. 
     
    Nonetheless, we wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.


    • Wyncode does not promise any kind of starting salary for junior developers upon graduating. Through Wyntalent we support the career path of all of our students in whichever role or for any opportunity that works best for them. 
    • Teaching Assistants are not taken into consideration in our placement rate - which is audited by a third party provider, before being published. 
    • In 2017, Wyncode Academy achieved a 90% job placement rate.

    Full Stack Web Developer

    I just completed the 10-week full stack course at Wyncode in Miami, FL.  It was a great experience, and I learned a lot more than I thought possible in 10 weeks.  Looking back at what I knew before I arrived, and what I know now is incredible.

    My take on Wyncode

    There were many schools offering the coding expirience, and through talking with alumni and reviews online Wyncode was the best option to take. I enjoyed the teaching and curriculum was given, also the support was genuine and all the staff actually cared about my learning. Another thing I enjoyed was the people who joined. We were all on the same page and wanted to be the best we could be, not only with learning to code well but just giving all that we could. When being around like minded ...

    A thorough learning experience, an attentive staff, and unparalleled career support!

    I had a fantastic experience at Wyncode academy. The curriculum is designed around building real working projects and getting your hands dirty. For someone with very little modern coding experience (I'd only built a few HTML sites in the days of AOL & dialup), it was somewhat jarring to dive in head first, and my brain felt like a fried egg at first. As you progress through the course, though, it all starts to click. All in all, I would say that it was appropriately grueling in the bes...

    I just finished the 10 week Fulll Stack Web Development course and it was an amazing experience! I can't believe how much I learned in such a short amount of time. When they say full time, they're talking on the low end. Clear your schedule for the 10 weeks because you will eat, sleep, and breathe coding. This is without a doubt the hardest thing I've ever done, but it was 100% worth it, and the Wynfam connections you make are worth the price alone. If you're looking for something that wil...

    I started Wyncode in early August of this year. I can honestly say I've never learned so much from a school in such a short amount of time. Before starting the course, I had never had any programming experience. My background is in music and I was skeptical about how much could really be taught about a subject in just 10 weeks.

    Amazing Intro to HTML/CSS

    I took Brainstation’s part-time Web Dev course.

    For me BrainStation's Intro to Web Dev course seemed like a great option to dip my toes into the world of HTML and CSS. Taking a full-fledged coding bootcamp felt way to risky, given the fact that I have never coded/worked in the industry before.

    The course is geared towards people with little to no experience in coding, but I would say that a tiny bit of knowledge of HTML would probably be helpful in the beginning, but not en...
