This program includes one-on-one mentoring, a curriculum focused on in-demand skills, portfolio and career development, and connections to the tech community. The Javascript After Hours course is part-time and covers beginner/intermediate Javascript concepts. In the UX design bootcamps, students learn technical practices and processes of designing digital experiences, and work with a real company on a capstone project.

    Amazing Experience

    I had always been interested in programming and had been trying to break into the industry on my own without success. I had heard about BCA from a friend and with the online course offering was fortunate enough to attend. The course was challenging and pushed the cohort to learn a lot in a short amount of time, but weekly projects helped solidify the lessons from the week and set benchmarks of what we'd learned. Bob, our instructor, was amazing and kept us moving at a steady pace while k...

    UX Design Full-Time Bootcamp

    I came to BCA after deciding to take a leap into the tech sector following a decade in non-profit advocacy and leadership. The staff was very understanding of my apprehensions coming into an entirely new field and very supportive in helping me identify transferable skills. 

    Throughout the course, instructors and staff would always make themselves available to go over questions and provide additional guidance. That said, be prepared to work - you definitely get out what you put in....

    Burlington Code Academy Review by Customer Support Specialist

    Wanted to leave a positive, but balanced review. Burlington Code Academy is great to learn the basics of coding. The curriculum is really good, though not very theoretical. I recommend going further in your education to learn theory (I'm getting my masters in Software Engineering). This is a really good way to test if you have a knack for coding and enjoy it. Bob is great! The career team is wonderful. I would say they promise a little high, if you are a woman especially, you won't come ...

    Amazing Opportunity

    After graduating from college with a Computer Science degree, I struggled to find a job in my field. In college there never seemed to be one focus, one thing that I continued to build upon and get better and better at. About 6 months later I came across Burlington Code Academy, signed up for the course and got going. It wasn't until taking the bootcamp that I truly found my passion for coding and development.

    The team was extremely welcoming, supportive and knowledgable. If I need...

    Absolutely Amazing.

    Burlington Code Academy helped me do what I thought was literally impossible. After growing increasingly disenfranchised with my previous manual labor job of 5 years, I finally made the decision to change. One phone call with Alex and I knew right away that this is what I wanted to do.

    The entire time through the program, I felt encouraged and valued for my input. The pace is great, the instructors are great, the staff is great. If you're tired of your current career, Burlington C...

    UX Design Bootcamp

    I just graduated from the UX design bootcamp at Burlington Code Academy, and it’s incredible to think how much I’ve learned over the course of this program. I came into this with an English degree, some administrative experience, and virtually no knowledge of UX, and now I feel confident as I begin my job search as a UX designer.
    Rick Machanic, the teacher of the program, is amazing. As someone who has been in the field of UX for over 20 years and started his own...

    BCA UX/UI Bootcamp

    I can't recommend this course enough to people either interested in UX/UI or looking for a career change. Everything about this experience was incredible. Not only do you get tons of help and aid throughout the course, but the end project is an actual job that has you walking away with actual work experience. Of course, the best part of the course is the instructor - Rick Machanic. He's genuinely and profoundly interested in getting people into and prepared for this industry. That being ...

    Burlington Code Academy Bootcamp Review

    Applying for admission with BCA and completing their 12 week bootcamp was one of the best professional decisions I have ever made. It took almost two years for me to be able to make the transition to leave my current career even temporarily, and make the family time work to be able to complete the course. Once I was admitted to the program the leadership kept me informed and welcomed me into whatever course I was able to attend. I was able to complete this spring 2020 bootcamp, which was...

    A great experience that continues to help me move forward

    As a career changer, jumping into a course like this was a bit scary, and definitely a huge risk.  Quitting my job, dropping a decent sum of money, and not working for three months is a big ask when you have kids, but the folks over at BCA were always there to help, and figure out ways to make it happen.  They have been incredibly supportive of me from the beginning, and even now, two weeks out of the course being over they are still working with everyone to find jobs, continue learning,...

    What a great bootcamp!

    I am a very non-traditional coder.  Think female and old enough to be most coders mom's best friend.  I wanted to move into a job that offered more pay and more flexibility.  I looked at a variety of online and out of state options but settled on BCA for a couple of reasons. 1. I know people who went through the course and have found work they like. 2. After talking with Alex, BCA's COO, about ageism and sexism in the tech I was reassured that they have also been thinking about these thi...

    Software Development Bootcamp

    12-week course in full-stack development (JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Express, React, MongoDB and Firebase). 9am-5pm five days a week with 8 weekend projects plus a month-long capstone project that addresses specific needs of real groups in the community.
    BCA provides an excellent foundation in JavaScript and web development, with plenty of practice in front-end and back-end design. While there is no coding prerequisite for the course, it is very rigorous and BCA highly recommends taking s...

    Student

    I can't say enough good things about my experience at the Burlington Code Academy. At 31 years old I decided to leave a very comfortable sales job at a great company to pursue a new career in coding and haven't looked back. The curriculum is very thorough and cutting edge with an emphasis on helping students learn highly marketable skills like React and working with APIs. BCA instructors Bob and Josh were truly invested in my cohort's success in the workforce - this was evidenced by thei...
