    Incredible Coding Boot Camp

    Coming into Coding Dojo's boot camp, I only knew HTML, CSS, and a little bit of JavaScript. I now can confidently say that I have accomplished learning three full stacks during the 14 weeks I attended the boot camp. The instructors were wonderful, the curriculum allowed us to learn the basics and also challenge us to research additional learning on our own, and the option to have a career services manager drastically helped in my confidence in finding a job afterwards.

    BEST PROGRAM AVAILABLE!

    The Coding Dojo is one of the most immersive and fun learning experiences I have taken. If you are looking for a career change or simply looking to learn, this course is perfect for you. You will be taught not only the fundamentals of multiple languages but you'll also be taught how to learn and teach yourself some stuff along the way. Being able to teach yourself some things is a great way to feel super accomplished when you get a task completed. Enjoy yourself, never give up and rememb...

    Online curriculum underdeveloped

    There are so many other learn-by-doing coding programs with better curriculums and at much lower costs. Unfortunately, this course did not live up to expectations for me. After starting at Coding Dojo I found there were gaps in instructional design and needed to supplement my learning with other programs such as Dataquest and Udacity which meant spending more money. These other programs were able to provide “the why” and “when” for writing the code. Coding Dojo used the same curriculum t...

    Hi Wajih, we are very sorry to hear about your negative experience. We never are shy about the difficulty or quick pace of our program, but it is indeed designed for beginners or anyone interested in getting started in tech. The vast majority of our students do graduate and go on to great careers in tech, but the program is not for everyone. We did allow you to retake the Web Fundamentals stack, and eventually honored your request to withdraw from the program.

    Online Full Time Review

    I recently graduated from Coding Dojo’s Full Time online course late November. I come from a tech background but came into this boot camp with little coding experience, just some basic java knowledge. 
    Going into the bootcamp I was intimidated by the amount of assignments and new information that was given to us. Luckily for the students, Coding Dojo’s instructors and TA’s are amazing! Whenever I was lost and did not understand a concept, the instructor and TAs a...

    This experience was one of the hardest things I've done. After spending 15+ years as a Directional Driller in Oil&Gas, I had to start a new career mid-life.  I didn't really know what I developing/coding was all about but thought that  tech is like a root system- it has branches into every industry.

    On top of the mundane instructors (previous graduates), dry zoom calls where there is no interaction, and there constant lack of structure coding dojo is the worst experience. Demanding you putting 70+ hours a week and their phrase “your classmates are your best resources” just goes to show they dont know how to teach or help their students.

    Amaizing experience

    An intense program in which they really teach you to program in three different languages in 14 weeks, with first-rate teachers. What I learned the most was to get out of my comfort zone and to think outside the box. I learned to learn and to be always curious to know more. Despite being an online program, the level of demand is incredible and the teachers are always available to answer questions and help you.

    Pros - The instructors are well prepared and knowledgeable. Curriculums are designed for students get their hands on and actually code. Algorithms they do every morning helps prepare students for technical interviews.
    Cons - Due to pandemic the classes are held 100% online. Online class itself has its pros and cons but onsite would have been better for me personally.

    Great learning experience

    I loved Coding Dojo's graded, balanced approach to learning: do Black Belt challenges if you can, work on basics if you're not there yet. I felt like there was always room to grow but plenty of support. Instructors were mature and good natured, and didn't micromanage us. The approach was: learn some principles in lecture, then go code and collaborate. I started as a complete beginner but built three full stack application projects by the end of the bootcamp (in Python, MERN, and C#). Ins...

    You get exactly what you put in.

    I graduated from the 16-week Bootcamp full-time course. Where I walked with almost ZERO knowledge in coding and web design. I ended up building apps and having a complete understanding on how to do so.

From signing up to the assignments in hand to after class or before class help. The instructors really put that extra effort to make sure you understand what you are l...

    The instructors at coding dojo have all been phenomenal and are very helpful and knowledgeable. I enjoyed interacting with classmates on assignments and helping each other to develop. Even though we had to switch the course to online, fortunately the teachers were great at always being accessible to help out. The course can be fast paced but it was an enjoyable time and the environment was great for developing team work and learning essential skills.
