    Coding dojo review

     
    I have recently graduated from Coding Dojo and it is the best programming course that I have attended. The platform was really well thought out and easy to use. Lectures and instructors were a great help, it was a recap that made learning the concepts easier and a preparation for weekly assignments. What I liked most is the structure of the course, which is based on "Learning by doing". Assignments helped us develop problem solving and searching skills, which I believe are the core ...

    Really great learning experience

    I had a really great experience at Coding Dojo. I started teaching myself to code a few months prior to signing up for this bootcamp, and was really struggling to get the fundamentals down. I wanted to progress at a faster pace, so when Covid hit I figured that I could easily dedicate 20+hours of my week to learning in this program, while still working remotely at my job. I am so happy that I made that choice. The curriculum is structured in a way that provides the foundations for you to...

    Coding Dojo, a worthwhile programming trip

     I would honestly recommend the Coding Dojo Academy for everyone who is looking forward to becoming a full stack developer in a short-time period and still don't know where to start!
    I recently graduated and I could say that those 4 months were mine, it was one of the best learning experiences of my life.
    The things that I mostly liked about the academy were the way they organised the materials, assignments and exams as well.

    Claire is a phenomenal instructor who would always take time to answer my questions and did a great job teaching the course.

    My goal of learning was to learn multiple languages and get project exposure so I am very satisfied with what I got out of it!

    The TAs were excellent and got an enormous amount of help from my classmates.

    I attended this boot camp from August 2019 to November 2019 and had a great experience. The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable and are very willing to hep you.  Know that this is a difficult process that will challenge you to be diligent and work hard, but it is very worth it once you make it through and get to the other side. I was in Sales prior to the course and now I am doing development work for a large company because of the tools I gathered from the Dojo.

    Python Online Part-time Review

    It is always hard to pull the trigger when deciding to get more education-- the investment, no, spending the money, yes.  I was worried that I was going to take the class and fall into the trap of just being another number to the program. I didn't feel that way at all with Coding Dojo. Coding can be very intimidating if you are starting from scratch like I did, and it was hard at times, but the instructors always helped me find and answer quickly. Also, there is no peer pressuring, which...

    Took the course and, once I completed the course, I learned employers want work experience. Could not land a job after Coding Dojo program, even with their career services helping.

    Best Bootcamp Ever!

    I love the Dojo and miss it.

    A bit over a year ago I decided I wanted to make a career to become a programmer.
    In my journey of looking for a program, I went to a few open houses and pre-bootcamp introduction in different schools.

    I then looked up Coding Dojo, this school was; in my budget, not too far and had free parking (important when you plan to spend hours there), open from morning till evening and Saturdays.
    When I went to their open the atmosphere was so welco...
