Wild Code School

I attended Wild Code Schools web developer course and I can highly recommend it to anyone. I was part of the Berlin campus and both our campus manager and instructor were highly professional and supportive. Our campus manager went out of his  way to support us in every aspect. We had mock job interviews, regular guest speakers from the industry, who shared valuable information about how the IT sector looks it, what it's like to be on the inside, what HR people are looking for in a junior developer etc. I can say that by the end of the course we were definitely prepared to get out there and nail whatever interview comes in our way.  Our instructor was also fantastic, he was always available to help, always patient and understanding and always came up with a way to explain anything that wasn't clear for the first time or the second or the third :) Altogether very professional staff, really good atmosphere and simply amazing human beings. Thanks guys again! 

For the last five months I have been challenged to do things I didn’t think was possible to do and I learned more than I had expected. My classmates were amazing as they were fun, hard working and dedicated! I enjoyed the group projects and hackathons but what stood out the most was the final client project.  I was able to apply my skills to re-design and develop a website for a company. Invaluable experience! 

My teacher Jaime was very professional, knowledgeable and went above and beyond to help all of the students and myself. Ludmila the campus manager,  is passionate about what she does and ensured all students had support throughout the course. I also thought it was particularly valuable that Ludmila helped us understand the job market and organised many workshops and resources to help us build the confidence to apply for jobs in this industry and present our work. 

Highly recommend! 

I have been a student of the web development program at the Madrid campus. The overall experience has been unbeatable.
Although the program of study is very extensive and concentrates a lot of the curriculum in 5 months, the pace of the classes and the extra support they offer allows you to follow it.
Our teacher, Jaime, has been fabulous. Not only has he explained all the contents clearly but he has prepared reinforcement material, live-codings, videos and workshops to facilitate our learning.
Ludmila, our campus manager, has advised and accompanied us in the process of looking for a new job in an excellent way.
The study atmosphere and the Madrid campus are excellent.
Overall a fantastic experience and 100% recommended.

The opportunity presented itself to me by surprise and I'm very happy to have done the course.
Jaime was our teacher. He is a person with a lot of passion for programming and has a lot of patience, which is needed to teach programming  from the beginning. He helps us with all the problems and encourages us to program nonstop.
Ludmila is the campus manager, and she is always there for anything you need. She is always attentive and willing to help you to improve the linkedin, the curriculum, the interviews, etc in a personalized way. She makes you feel much more confident to apply for jobs.
The group of colleagues has been incredible. We have brought together people of different ages, professions and experiences. We have learned together to program and carry out all the projects, and I can't believe the course is over now...what a shame!
I would repeat it a thousand times without a doubt.

Although I'm just around halfway through the course (the intensive, 5-month-long one), I'm already sure that it was one of the best decisions of my life to apply. The campus is at a great place (in the city center) and Marci, our campus manager made sure that it's a great place as well to spend your days at. After my experience at the university, it is refreshing to finally learn practical, useful things instead of academic knowledge. We've got a great mentor, Virág, who helps us to a great deal to "get ready for the real world". :)  We just started our 3rd, real-client project, I don't really have time to think about later, about finding a work-place after the course, but I'm really positive about the future :)
(Update: Regarding the current corona-virus situation, we changed to home-office. I think that WCS made the change as easy on us as possible while keeping the usual day-to-day schedule of the course.)

5 months of PHP training at Strasbourg campus and that was great!
Hight quality level of the courses, great environment and competent staff.
Fascinating how much things we learn in only 5 months, the program is well organized and structured, we learn gradually in order to become professional developpers. Great atmosphere in Strasbourg with wilders always ready to help and encourage each other. Amazing support from both the trainer (Yavuz) and the campus manager (Gilles)! I totally recommend this training and this campus!

So far I'm very happy with my Wild Code School experience. I started my coding bootcamp journey on january 13th in Barcelona and I'm sure the five months ahead are going to be a great time.
The application process went very smooth - the tasks were a bit challenging but also really fun at the same time and there was always the possibility to get help or more information from the campus manager or the community. This way you could get a glimpse of how the teaching approach of the course may be.
Later, in the motivational and technical interview, a very encouraging and uplifting atmosphere was established.
From the beginning the whole team was welcoming, very motivated and kind.
At this moment I'm in two weeks of the experience and up to this moment there are still only positive feelings. The instructor is very competent (and - maybe even more important - patient), the group is very motivated and helpful and the campus manager is also eager to provide us with the best possible version of the training, taking care of everything concerning organization, logistics and more. The curriculum has a good pace and makes sense, from what I can tell now.
The students will also be provided with some solid presentation skills, as well as with interview and job related techniques.
So for anyone interested in seeing if coding is for them I would recommend to just give the exercises on the application platform a try. You will probably get together with like minded people who want to both learn a lot and enjoy the process at the same time.

Great place to learn skills needed for Web Dev career!

The course is very intense and you do need to learn a lot, however - it is a lot of fun to learn and support is always available! Super nice community feeling instead of strict uni rules with hours and hours of lectures that half-of you snooze through. Here, lectures are short, condense and quick, and the majority of time you spend actually practising the skills! Great teacher and community, so you never feel left-behind. Super glad that I can be part of this new journey!

This course is an excellent opportunity for those who are looking for a new path in your career.  Since the first day, I was impressed with the quality of teaching and the structure from the campus. 

The environment is fantastic, everybody helps each other, and we grow together.  The teacher is passionate and open to feedback, through his classes, we understand the concepts, how to apply them and we are also encouraged to find answers for ourselves.  

 The curriculum offers us what is necessary to start our career, and the time is enough to, by the end of the program, students know how to build a fully functioning website.

I would highly recommend this program to anyone wanting to transition to a career or wants to know more about Web Development. 

I'm totally satisfied with the approach Wild School uses.

1. Applying process. To apply for training applicant should complete a task. It's basically about getting familiar with basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and creating a small website. The school has its own user-friendly learning platform, where you do the task and the platform guides you through the applying process. I found this requirement very reasonable, because during task execution applicant can understand whether he/she likes programming or not and if he/she is willing to study hard. Well, the task is fascinating, as soon as I started to work on it, I could not stop.
2. Learning approach. Also, I visited Wild School Introduction event, where we were told about the training program, teaching approach, schedule, working conditions and simply got to know each other. The training rooms are very comfortable and working environment is very positive. Wild School uses the “blended learning” approach, which is the exact opposite of boring school lessons. And in general, the process will be as close as possible to real working conditions: with agile methodology, daily meetings, deadlines and etc. They prepare us for real life and real working conditions. In addition to technical knowledge, during the training, attention will also be paid to the soft skills development. Every week a speaker will come to us. We will also have to work in a team and on real project for the customer.
3. Technologies. Another huge advantage is the adaptation of the curriculum to local needs. For example, in Berlin campus we will focus on JavaScript and ReactJS, actually one of the most popular technologies on the labor market.
4. People. Tim (campus manager in Berlin) is a very friendly and helpful person. He's always ready to support you and answer all your questions. And don't be afraid of technical interview, it is necessary to see what is your thought process and how do you perceive new information.
   
   I can't wait to start our classes!

Wild Code School has been an excellent experience for me personally. From my very first phone call, Ana- Sofia has really made my experience feel wonderful. She was clear in her instruction and helpful throughout our interactions. The scholarship application itself was based on a three phase process namely-Online exercises, a final assignment and two interviews both technical and motivational. I didn’t know exactly what to expect with the technical interview, but stuck to the brief given to me. I was pleasantly surprised with Alexis, who was very professional ,friendly, and very thoughtful which I appreciated, as emotionally I was extremely nervous . Through out our interview I was professionally guided, and I was also given helpful and positive feedback. The following day, I had my motivational interview with Ana where she asked me questions about my formative background. She also explained in detail how the school works, the courses etc. I finally expressed to Ana that as a creative individual, I am amazed at how inputing code can allow something so beautiful to be created. For me this is the meaning of Art..it all starts with an opportunity..Thank you Victoria.
