Coder Camps offers 12-week coding bootcamps in Seattle, Washington, Phoenix, Arizona and online. Full and part-time students have the opportunity to choose between full-stack options like .NET, Java, JavaScript and C#. Unlike other schools that teach a single technology stack, Coder Camps covers a variety of technologies in a modular curriculum that prepares you for actual careers. All programs utilize Agile software development techniques and provide experience working in team roles, the application life cycle, and with mobile & cloud applications. Students will master these skills with the help of experienced instructors guiding them through hands-on, real-world projects, and daily individual and paired programming exercises. To apply, prospective students can fill out a short online form and start a series of interviews. 

Coder Camps also provides career services where at the completion of the course, graduates are introduced to leaders in technology to facilitate entry into a new career path in tech. Coder Camps graduates also receive lifetime access to continuing education courses at no additional cost.

    Jamie is Awesome!

    Jamie Williams, Director of Admission from Coder Camps, is the most delightful person and helped me with getting admitted as fast as possible.  Coder Camps has the most diverse curriculum and a lifetime learning dedication to its students.  I would recommend it to anyone.

    I'm going to keep this blunt and honest, for the sake of those interested in attending this course. If you want to take this course, prepare yourself mentally and physically. I have absolutely no background in coding, but i studied hard with the materials provided and managed to master everything in the course - while my other classmates at a similar disadvantage decided to coast through the course assuming they would get help later. Not only did they not learn the material, they are now r...

    Our instructor was a brand new T.A. The teacher that was suppose to teach (Ron) left the company without any disclosure from Coder Camps. We found out from David Weems he left and that is the reason our emails for help went unanswered. So expert ...

    What an experience!  I chose Coder Camps after about as much research as one could possibly do on a coding bootcamp.  After moving from Charlotte, NC to Phoenix, AZ all I can say is that I made the right decision.  From the get go the Admissions Manager Jamie was wonderful, she truly cares about your success and is there every step of the way to make sure you are getting the most out of the program.  Even though the class can be tough you always have the support you need with top notch ins...

    Coder Camps Dec 2016

    Coder Camps is a great place if you want to learn how to program. Everyone from the instructors, to the fellow students are friendly and help. The Full Stack JavaScript instructor, Ron Bravo is a programming wizard when it comes to JavaScript. Often times in class he fixes students problems without even seeing them. He is a great guy and an amazing instructor.

    The backend of Coder Camps is wonderful as well. My admission rep, Jason Jones was always checking on me to see how I was...

    Then reality struck and it turned out the material wasn't thorough enough, we didn't do enough algorithms, and the job help was so minimal, I don't even consider it "help".

    We only had 1 instructor in Oakland, he knew what he was doing, but it came with a blasé attitude and a lot of things were skimmed over. When I asked a question, he would say that we already went over it like it was covered through...

    Overall, a positive experience

    Coder Camps was my first choice because it offered both an online option and a .NET option.  My background is as a technical trainer (amongst other things) and having taught mixed online/in-person classes myself, I was well aware that it's difficult to pull mixed classes off.  So I was a little surprised to learn that online students are taught alongside the in-person class.  I have to say they did pretty well, but sometimes it was impossible to hear what students actually there in the cla...

    Great Decision!

    Coder Camps turned out to be one of the best decisions that I've ever made. I was nervous about a major career change, walking away from a steady paycheck, and pushing 50 yrs old with no coding background whatsoever. The instructors and TA's were very helpful explaining the material and the student to teacher ratio made sure that I had the one-on-one attention that I needed. The career services program really sets Coder Camps apart from the competition. They guide you through a customized ...

    A worthy Investment

    INTRO:

    I left a career in sales to make the transition into a development career. I knew going into this, that it was going to be a difficult transition, especially with bootcamps still being quite new within the industry. However, after a good amount of online research, I felt that Coder Camps was going to be a great fit for what I was looking for in development.

    THE COURSE:

    Learning even just 1 technical language in 12 weeks is a daunting task, let alone Ful...

    Life Changing

    My time at Coder Camps was nothing short of life changing. I walked into the camp with minimal coding experience and left as a full-stack .NET developer. Not as a coding genius, but with enough knowledge and experience to build full-stack applications using a variety of the latest and greatest web technologies, and get a software developer position at a local company only 6 weeks after graduating.

    I have nothing but good things to say about the instructors. Dan, Stephen and Linds...

    Who wouldn't love this?

    We were just finishing up our work for the last week of camp and guy drops in to tell us about his company.  He was with a relatively small start up and was still getting his name out there.

    The class heard about his plans and at the end of the discussion, he asked if any of us were interested in working at a place like his.  I raised my hand and we setup an interview time for after I graduated.

    At my interview, the owner of the company was there again and had a couple ...

    The placement is a lie, but the training is good.

    I left a career making about 80k a year to take what I thought would be a small paycut to about 70k a year.  This was according to Chris Lipari who said they had a 98% industry placement with an average salary of 75k a year.  Over time, I found out this is not true.  I watched his number change from 98%, 92%, 95%.  He just makes it up.  In addition to that, I talked to past students that were still attending and had been without a job for over a year, most over 6 months.  All bright indivi...

    We try to keep our job placement numbers as up to date as possible.  It is true that the number will change rather frequently, as we have numerous locations constantly graduating students.  It is a full time job to keep track of all alumni and their hiring statuses.  One that we take very seriously.

    If you graduated the program, you should have full access to the entire curriculum that you took.  Additionally, Coder For Life allows graduates to return anytime to take another camp absolutely free of charge with a live instructor or online.  No other camp will allow this and it is part of our commitment to our students for their entire lives, not just the time that they are at camp.

    If we can help you in any way, please do not hesitate to ask.
