Actualize is an online software engineering bootcamp that offers part-time and full-time bootcamp options. Instructors with professional educational experience teach students full stack web development including Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, VueJS, SQL, and Git. The Online Live classes are conducted in real time with video conferencing. Actualize has a deeply integrated “Job Hacking” curriculum focused on the personal branding and networking skills necessary to land a new job, which Actualize feels is just as important as learning to code.

To apply, students can submit an application via the website, then go through a series of two interviews with an admissions advisor. There are no coding challenges, but students must complete 4 weeks of prework before the program starts.

After the program, students have the option to join its unique Career Support program, which contains additional training for Job Hacking, a job accountability group, and team projects to add to one’s portfolio.

    Reviews speak for themselves

    I chose Actualize because of the top reviews and all the good things the previous graduates and students had to say.  I can say after taking this class I feel more confident than I honestly envisioned I would prior to graduation.  Every instructor I had enjoyed their role as teacher and was always available to answer the questions, which was one of my main concerns when choosing a bootcamp.  The coursework was carefully chosen by the members of the company to make sure we were getting th...

    Actualize was the best bootcamp I researched, and they delivered

    Choosing to switch careers is nerve wracking, so picking an institution to partner with that you trust will deliver on your goals is also a scary choice to make. I chose Actualize because of their reviews and curriculum, and they absolutely delivered. My instructor was a former educator (all Actualize instructors are) and that made all the difference in the world. Teaching is one of the hardest careers out there, and teaching coding a major challenge on its own. My instructor made the fo...

    Short Actualize Review

    Actualize was an overall great experience for me. I learned core concepts of programming and everything I needed to know to get my foot into the tech field. The job support is amazing, the instructors are knowledgable, funny, and overall awesome.

    Exactly What I Hoped For and More

    Actualize provided an incredible learning experience. My instructor was very knowledgeable, adept at conveying material in a way that was easy to understand, and excellent at showing us how to figure things out for ourselves. I feel confident going forward in this industry thanks to this bootcamp. Absolutely worth it, very grateful that I chose Actualize over the others.

    Great Learning Experience

    I chose this bootcamp due to the amazing reviews, and it did not disappoint! I learned so much at Actualize and I feel very prepared for my upcoming job search. The class sizes are relatively small (I had 8 students in my cohort, including myself), so the instructor and TA's are able to answer any and all questions that you may have, at any point. I would highly recommend Actualize to anyone who is seeking to switch careers to software development!

    Enroll in Actualize!!!

    I chose Actualize because I knew I wanted to learn coding from professionally trained educators. I am so glad I chose Actualize for my bootcamp experience because the learning environment, curriculum and quality instruction was unparalleled!! I am actually sad that the bootcamp is over and will really miss my instructor and peers who I have developed a bond with over the past 3 months. I joined this bootcamp with no prior tech experience, and now through this course, I have gained a soli...

    Confidence Building Coding Experience

    I chose Actualize because:
    • The materials on their website had a sense of humor I responded to
    • I was able to set up a financing plan
    • The curriculum includes Ruby, Rails, JavaScript, React, and jobhunting skills/resources
    • The schedule fit my schedule (11am-4pm Central Time Monday through Friday)

    I came into the class with some technical background and still found the experience educational and worthwhile. I'm leaving the class wi...

    Best Coding Bootcamp

    Actualize Bootcamp is hands down the best program I have been apart of! Katherine was the best instructor and really helped you understand topics that were confusing to learn at first.  During the bootcamp, the instructors are available every day of the week to meet with you. Not only are the instructors smart and can help you with any problem you're having, but they do  a great job supporting you along the way. Post graduation, the career advisors (shoutout to Lisa) really care about yo...

    Absolutley amazing curriculum and job support

    Actualize really puts the emphasis on learning how to learn. Not only do they teach you the fundamentals of coding + they really teach you how to go about solving problems when you run into them. The course really makes you believe in yourself, and the instructors do too. My instructor Joey Harbert was BEYOND amazing! He is such an amazing teacher that really knows the in's and out's of ruby on rails, react, javascript, and the countless other topics we go over. The job program that they...

    Worth It!

    I loved that the course had live instruction in the online classroom. It made the learning experience so much better and thorough to be able to ask questions as we went along. The course also does a great job having you do exercises along the way that really drive home the knowledge and allow you retain the information and skills.

    Phenomenal Bootcamp

    My experience at Actualize Coding Bootcamp was exceptional and unlike any other educational experience I have had in the past. Initially, I was hesitant about attending an online bootcamp, as I had concerns about the quality of education I would receive. However, my concerns were quickly dispelled after a conversation with Peter, the Dean of Instruction at Actualize. Peter's willingness to address my technical questions demonstrated the school's dedication to the success and satisfaction...
