Code for All_
Founded in Portugal in 2015, Code for All_ is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. Code for All_ describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.
Code for All_'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.
At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the Code for All_ website.
Code for All_ was formerly known as <Academia de Código_>.

The trade off between learning new stuff and put them to practice is top notch as this course is very practical.

0 to 100 real quick
If you're looking for a regular 9 to 5 coding bootcamp this isn't for you... At <Academia de Código_> you will begin your day at 9am and finish Linus Torvalds knows when, so you better have the "I'm gonna be late" message on deck. If you're like Jon Snow and you don't know nothing about coding, worry not! You can go from Jon Snow to Azor Ahai in just 14 weeks. The only bad part is that I can only rate <Academia de Código_> 5 stars...

i'll never forget this experience
<Academia de Código_> 14 weeks bootcamp was for sure the best decision I ever made. The culture is so unique and I made so many friendships and learned so much with this whole experience. Now I've a lot to thank to this wonderful team. Keep making such a positive impact on people's lives.

Best decision I've made
I was stuck in a dead-end job and starting to lose sight of my future. I had heard about <Academia de Código_> back in 2015, and finallly decided to apply in 2018.
Was it hard? Harder. It was the hardest thing I've done in my life.
However, it paid out. I've made new friends, I've gained a family, but most importantly I've learned how to learn. I'm so thankful to our Master Coders in FUNdão, they are truly the best. Before, I had never even seen a single line of code...I was stuck in a dead-end job and starting to lose sight of my future.

It literally changed my life!
I attended last year and it literally changed my life!
I got a job as a back-end developer on a great company as soon as I finished the Bootcamp! The teachers worked very hard, even after hours, to make sure no one gets behind. I recommend this Bootcamp to everyone who wants to learn how to code.
ThanksAlfredo Faria

That was a pretty important thing for me, since I was "lost" in my previous life.

Taught how to learn
It was a fantastic experience. From the bootcamp application to job enrolment, I felt accompanied through the entire process.
The instructors were helpful, very knowledgeable and amazingly patient. The bootcamp has an awesome teaching philosophy that leaves you prepared for the job market, you might not leave knowing everything (ha!) but you'll come out prepared with the knowledge to learn how to face any ordeal. It promises to turn you into a software developer and it delivers.<...

Great syllabus suitable for any kind of people
When I signup for this bootcamp I already had 2 years of professional experience as a web developer and during the 14 weeks I still learned something new everyday to improve my skills, technical and social.
The whole experience was fantastic. I recommend it for everyone who is passionate or curious for programming.

Gave me a family. Gave me a purpose. Gave me a new life.
When I started the bootcamp I was really scared. I was turning my life upside down and starting over in a new country (I'm from Brazil), building a new career (I'm a geologist), almost all alone (just me and my husband in the country, no family or friends) and dealing with antisocial issues because of my difficulty to understand the Portuguese language. It wasn't easy, this isn't for the faint of heart, but that just prepares you even more for the future in this field. Might sound like a clic...When I started the bootcamp I was really scared.

It wasn't easy, this isn't for the faint of heart, but that just prepares you even more for the future in this field. Might sound like a cliche, but from day one I felt embraced in a safe space where I could make mistakes and learn from them without being judged. This place brings together all kinds of people and that diversity is what makes the experience unbelievably incredible. We were able to learn not only programming, but also a large skill set to thrive in the field. The staff helps you with everything. Literally everything. From working hard to playing hard, from AM to PM (and then AM again), from coding to interview practice, they even help you make an awesome and impressive cv. It's a full package. No buts. They gave me a home away from home, and for that I'll be forever thankful. Best decision of my life, hands down. - João ClaroApplication Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonFeb 27, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I will never forget
I will never forget the family that changed my life.
I am eternally grateful to this School. They taught me to code, but they also taught me to learn.
Applying for this bootcamp was the best decision I ever made and my life has improved so much from this.
I went from being a cashier at a gas station with no prospect and no plans for the future to being employed at an awesome IT company.

Awesome 14 weeks that changed my life
The bootcamp lasts for 14 weeks, but it feels so much more. It's so intense that you learn so much from the beginning of computer science untill coding practices in the real world. When i finished the course i was ready to start working, and i actually got my job 2 weeks before finishing the bootcamp!
During these 14 weeks you know amazing people, and you feel apart of a big family.
I think everyone should do this bootcamp!

One day after Christmas I went to attend my best gift, I was able to enter Academia de Código, living one of my dreams and being lucky/skilled enough to be one of the winners of the contest to be accept as an "alumni". After going there for the workshop I was already in love by it's awesome ambient, is very informal and familiar at the same time, the "Master" Rui Ferrão speaks so clearly that it was impossible to miss any content, and rare the moment that I needed to raise my hand to ask questions, Sérgio was another teacher that really inspired me because he went from student of the last course to teacher, and people from Academia like Catarina (Bootcamp Momma) kept telling us how he had some difficulties but as he is such an hard worker, he was able to push himself to the top and of course Antoninho, that spared us the needed time after hours (Antoninho's School) to pull up everyone that was feeling behind, he was also a previous course attendant.
It's a big family. The best place to learn how to become a developer. The syllabus teaches everything we need. I just can't find words to describe the experience. Yes it's hard to keep up with the fast paced learning environment but that's why they look for people that are able to push themselves harder and harder. You learn everything from computer science history, to design patterns, to serious and practical coding. I remember that in the final weeks many companies come see us in the classes and talk with us, some of the people are CEO's others are recruiters, others were developers to properly check the syllabus and what we were learning, and they all said "This is what you will be doing for real, don't be afraid to become a professional in this area, because you are being given the right tools.".
For 14 weeks I think it's an awesome experience and it's more than enough for the students to become their own teachers, as we were told (just like in University), they teach us how to learn and from that we can proceed our own adventure, but of course whenever we need we know we can contact our family and they will surely help us. It's just awesome, from the curriculum to the job support where the people working there are awesome as well.
I went from a guy that didn't even have finished high school, nor went to the University (I hate them) to become a professional full-stack web developer and I am now working on a startup, and already had other jobs in the way. I had some minor experience building websites specially with WordPress and I was at the time learning to become a Full-Stack Web Developer through online courses, but gladly I got in Academia, you need a lot of self-discipline to go learn always by yourself and I was missing having a class full of mates learning and helping each others. The syllabus is really complete and I think It's completely worth the money, specially as you are finished after 14 weeks, I am really proud, happy and feeling privileged.
You even get sentimental when the course ends, thank you all, thank you Academia de Código!

Doing the <Academia de Código_> 14 weeks bootcamp was the best decision i ever made. Not only they know what they're doing, but they're doing it like no one else. The whole experience, including the friendships, the culture... there is nothng like it. Without a doubt, a success case!

Awesome bootcamp with incredible team
It was an awesome expercience, the team is incredible, I learnt a lot and enjoyed every step. And even gave us links to were study and what to study after we finish. They have and amazing HR that help to make a resume and linkdIn, but that is all and that made a little sad, I would like more help with that thinking about the price. But after all, I would do it again, and the job is more to us, but more help to this would be 10/10. - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoAug 09, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Learn programming like a pro
Entering the bootcamp i was expecting to learn programming regularly, but i was surprised in finding out that you learn it in a way that is used in the professional world. They give you all the means to get a job in just 3 months of classes. But this experience is not easy at all, you need to be fully committed to the goal and believe in what they tell you. - AnonymousGranades • Student • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoAug 09, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
