    Best Bootcamp by far

    This is by far the best Bootcamp ever. If you ate willing to put in the long hours, and type til your fingers fall off, lol, then you can do this. If you have problem solving skills and don’t know how to use them, get a 500 error in Java and get back to me. If you think you already know how to code, that’s ok. They still have a program for you. I can honestly say I put more time per week learning to code and understand what I am writing, than I ever did for any job. And you will feel thi...

    Tough but Amazing Bootcamp!

    I worked account management for nine years and decided I wanted to change careers. I was always interested in software development and decided to join a coding bootcamp. I looked at several bootcamps and ultimately landed on Coding Dojo, due to their curriculum being tailored to your location's market and because their career services team starts with you on day one. And I am so glad I chose them!

    My program started in March 2022 and ended July 1. Throughout the whole process, I m...

    I was able to change my career and get a job in Tech two months after I graduated! My instructors were knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and that made my experience even better.

    After I graduated two of my friends signed up to Coding Dojo and one of them got a job three months after graduating at one of the top tech companies in the US, second one is close to graduating. 

    Great school overall, would recommend to everyone!!

    Amazing Coding Bootcamp

    I took the Coding Dojo Bootcamp, Did the Python, MERN, JAVA stacks. Even though the bootcamp was all online, I felt I was really learning at a good pace with not much trouble at all. The lectures were perfect, each instructor knew what they were doing and were so helpful when I had questions. I would definitely recommend the Coding Dojo Bootcamp to anyone wanting to start a career as a software developer.

    I think that the methodology of Coding Dojo, in the field of education of programming, is the best. The Bootcamp of the Coding Dojo is a big challenge because learning three stacks( Python, Java and MERN) in fourteen weeks, is a little time, but with the methodology and the support of the instructors, It is the perfect place to learn programming of a form intensive and a short time.Since I began with the Bootcamp, the instructor explained in detail the different tec...

    Perfect Option for Career Change!

    I took the part time online bootcamp and loved it! I did the MERN stack option and learned so much. I enjoyed the class structure and the online learning platform was a fantastic resource. They also run a Discord server that gives you access to teachers and TAs! I would totally recommend this program for new high school grads or people making a career change (like myself leaving the legal field after 10 years)!

    I had a great experience attending Coding Dojo. Classes are well structured and teachers are knowledgeable. I was lucky to make some friends along the way too, and having a good community helps a lot in the journey.

    Coding Dojo Review

    So I did the Coding Dojo Part time BootCamp. It started with 6 weeks of frontend then moved on to 8 weeks of backend work with either Python, Java, or MERN as your tech stack. I would have to say that they did a very mediocre job. They teach you HTML well by making you do a few assignment of building things out. CSS was also sort of the same deal with the caveat that you were not allowed to use the flex property, which later came back to bite me in the butt since employers expect you to ...

    Pleasant Surprise

    While making my career change, I needed to find a bootcamp that had a solid PT program but also had support and a good curriculum. I didn't think it was possible til I found Coding Dojo's Accelerated PT bootcamp. Great curriculum, great guidance and support. I knew some html and css before the program but I can confidently say I'm a software dev at this point.
