Great School!
This 6 month bootcamp took me from not knowing how to write a single line of code in HTML or CSS, to creating a full-stack mobile trivia application that talks to ChatGPT through the OpenAI API!! So, I would say I've come a long way. You also meet great people along the way that will help you get a job!

Great Experience
Found codefellows through the vettec program. After trying a previous course I was hesitant, but glad I made the decision to enroll. The ops course builds your IT knowledge with a good foundation and adds on top of that each day. Would recommend to anyone looking to start a career in IT. - Dylan DempseyStudent • Student • Ops 201: Foundations of Computer Operations (Full-Time, Online) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInMar 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
A worthy Investment
If you are looking for a cyber security boot camp, this is it. You may stop your search! I was someone seeking a boot camp just as you are and came across Code Fellows. I can’t believe all that I have learned just in the first couple of months. I am someone who has no prior IT experience and have made leaps and bounds in progress, such as learning how to take control of your home network, running virtual machines, RDP, and entry level scripting. I would highly recommend Code Fellows!

Cybersecurity at code fellows is one of the best in town.

Though the course if long, 6 months in all if you start at the 101 level, it is well worth the time because you graduate with a ton of hands-on experience doing projects. These projects can be added to resume and help you build out a portfolio that you can proudly show employers so that you are ready to start the job hunt as soon as you graduate. - Cody De La TorreTest Engineer 1 • Student • Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Python (Full-Time, Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubFeb 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The course itself is not progressing
I attended and graduated from Code Fellows in july 2022. And have had mixed experiences with my job hunt since then. As a school code fellows does a good job of teaching you software development and programming fundamentals. But the courses lack some really important things, like a focused detail on test-driven development, In the classes, this is covered in 2 days with a gentle touch, then you are just expected to do it for every challenge and project from there on out.

As a school code fellows does a good job of teaching you software development and programming fundamentals. But the courses lack some really important things, like a focused detail on test-driven development, In the classes, this is covered in 2 days with a gentle touch, then you are just expected to do it for every challenge and project from there on out.
To learn the basics and fundamentals of programming I believe they do a fairly good job, but the curriculum and instruction are a little long in the tooth now.
Beyond bringing in career professionals and past graduates to talk to the students, code fellows doesn't do a great job preparing you for the job hunt, sure you do interview practice, but only with other students meaning the feedback you receive can be a real mixed bag. They also don't do any practice negotiating for your salary (only telling you that its important and that you need to do it!) Sure you do algorithms and data structures, but they focus more on teaching you how to solve the problem itself, rather than how to recognize the patterns in the problems (this latter technique is what you need to successfully apply your knowledge to all sorts of different problems rather than just the one at hand).
On top of this, there is little or no focus on open-source work or professional project development. Outside of projects you create yourself, or ideas you manage yourself while in the program, you are unlikely to develop any truly marketable projects in the course. for example
you may design a small game with javascript, or a music search engine, or a restaurant search engine. But you won't be developing a Redis Database management and monitoring tool.
this later project is infinitely more interesting to employers and demonstrates a business mindset. That is not to say the earlier projects don't demonstrate your programming ability, because they certainly do, but a database (or another generalized enterprise tooling) would be much much more marketable.
For instance, other modern boot camps now maintain collections of open source projects that the students commit to, this not only looks fantastic on a resume but allows the students to speak about truly technical projects and problems during their future interviews.
During the courses code fellows talks ALOT about their career accelerator program, which is their after-graduation support. Though I didn't participate in this myself (I had a feeling it would be lackluster) I have heard from fellow students I graduated with, that its a joke.
Apart from a weekly "how's it going" checkup, I have heard of no students who have been referred to a job though the program or even gotten an interview from it.
To sum things up,
If you want to learn to program, code fellows will do that. If you want to get a job in this career space, there are better programs out there with more modern studies and focus on creating marketable candidates. - hunter fehrdoor dasher • Graduate • Code 401: Advanced Software Development in Full-Stack JavaScript (Full-Time, Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubFeb 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Life changing experience!
I started my tech transition from trucker to tech about a month before attending Code Fellows. I learned the basics on my own and was able to test into their 201 program, and attend 301 and 401 full stack JavaScript.

Best Job Prep, and Core Competency
Code fellows really helped me prepare for the job market. While a lot of courses friends went through showed them how to code. Code fellows helped me understand WHY we code. They helped me understand that it's better to know HOW to solve the problem conceptually, than how to code the solution. If you know the concepts behind solving the problem, it doesn't matter what language you are told to solve it in, you will be able to solve it. But if you only know how to code the solution in one ...Code fellows really helped me prepare for the job market. While a lot of courses friends went through showed them how to code.

If you know the concepts behind solving the problem, it doesn't matter what language you are told to solve it in, you will be able to solve it. But if you only know how to code the solution in one language, it is infinitely more difficult to convert something from LANG A -> LANG B.
The white boarding practice and preparation was phenomenal and the instructors obviously care so much about what they do.
Stacked learning modules will fry your brain at first but you will find that after a few days that thing you learned 3 days ago suddenly clicks and BOOM! A whole new avenue opens up to you, those AH-HA moments will be frequent and you feel so good.
There is also a vast network of Alum who are very happy to help you in your job search.
