Coding opened my mind
I would always say I want to learn programming, but I always found it too intimidating. But Altcademy's mentor support and structured curriculum helped me break the barrier and gave me confidence that I can become a programmer. I am now working on my final project, plus researching for jobs and preparing for interviews. - GregoryStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineMar 24, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fun and engaging, often challenging
I've been learning web development for a couple of years now, but I've always found my studies lacking structure and rigor. So I decided to give a bootcamp a try after hearing great things about Altcademy.
The program adopts an incremental approach where you build up on your previous skills. This is good since there's no risk of overwhelming beginners with a flood of advanced topics. Although I am not exactly a beginner, but I can see this program as being beginner friendly.

You learn all the major aspects of frontend, backend, API development while following along tutorials and working on projects on your own. You can ask your mentor for help when you are stuck, and the community is getting increasingly lively recently.
All in all, a fully loaded program at a very affordable price point. - DanielStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Excellent curriculum, and awesome projects!
I went with Altcademy because I wanted to learn how to build fullstack websites and needed some guidance. It's hard to find a bootcamp that is online, self paced, has mentor support, AND at an affordable price. And what I love even more is that I am not just learning how to code, I am learning how to think and problem solve like a software engineer! Altcademy's curriculum is so thorough and clear.

This alone has improved my confidence many fold. - PeterStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Affordable bootcamp with a huge flexibility in schedule!
Started this course a month ago after a long break from learning to code. The Flexible schedule and self-paced learning is what convinced me to join this bootcamp. The curriculum is challenging. You do need to put in some effort to learn. There is a lot of content to digest. If you can dedicate a good chunk of time outside of work, you can finish the course in 7-8 months. - HenriqueStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
You'll have everything you need to become a master of full stack
Super rich content, their curriculum is amazing. Far more in depth than other free online courses. The mentors are helpful and smart, they know the content extremely well. I would be lost trying to learn on my own. I have only done very basic programming before, no website development experience. - ThorstenStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineFeb 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I'm loving it
I'm currently in the middle of the Full Stack Developer Course and I'm loving it.
I have learned so much and I am already able to build useful applications for my professional and casual things. It's online, self paced, and affordable, what's not to like about it? - JorgeStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineJan 10, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Structured and well defined program
Before joining Altcademy, I read many reviews and compared their pricing with other similar programs. It turns out they were actually the most affordable. Then I compared their curriculum and support with other programs, the material coverage is very similar to the well known bootcamps. Altcademy provides less face time, but after contacting a couple alumni on linkedin, they said the included office hours were enough to last through the whole duration.

Then I compared their curriculum and support with other programs, the material coverage is very similar to the well known bootcamps. Altcademy provides less face time, but after contacting a couple alumni on linkedin, they said the included office hours were enough to last through the whole duration. Altcademy seems to be a middle ground between the more expensive bootcamps and the cheaper self-learning courses. I have now gone through 2 out of 7 courses of the program. The curriculum is beginner level and very well written. It has both auto graded assignments and more in-depth mentor graded assignments. Feedback from my mentor have been very helpful. I am really enjoying my time here. - MarkStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineJan 04, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
affordable and good
My decision to pursue a coding bootcamp is influenced by a desire to improve my job prospects. I am working and don't want to quit my job to join a fulltime bootcamp. So I chose an online part time bootcamp to learn at my own pace and continue working. I am happy with this decision, I am now studying 15-18hrs a week, about 2 hours on work days, and 3-5 hours on days I don't work. I just finished the first course on HTML and CSS and I am happy with the experience so far. - CaseyStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 31, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Get the support you need
I chose Altcademy for the price and the support. After studying part-time for 7 months, I am about 80% through the curriculum. It is really an amazing experience and I really recommend it to anyone who wants to learn web development but does not have the luxury to pay 10k or sign an ISA. My mentor is responsive, helpful and smart. The content is good, complete, and detailed. The exercises are fun and challenging. I am now working on the rails course and learning to build APIs.

great experience!
I am currently taking the fullstack program, and it is very challenging yet satisfying. I was impressed with the curriculum and can confidently say that they have one of the best content out there. The mentors are very responsive and helpful, which I really appreciate. Great experience! - ChrisStudent • Full-stack Web Development • OnlineDec 28, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
So much resources for such an affordable price
I chose this course because I had a budget I had to adhere to. I really like that there are so many learning tools available for such an affordable price. There is an AI code debugger which is super helpful, a coding exercise platform, a Q&A platform with lots of questions from other students. The material is very beginner friendly, and I learned a lot of practical knowledge. There were a lot of exercises and assignments that really increased my understanding of the topics taught.

If you are committed and put in the work you will learn a lot of useful web development skills.
Pros: very affordable, beginner friendly, lots of exercises and assignments, online and remote, self-paced learning.
