I definitely wouldn't be where I am without the bootcamp.
They do a great job of trying to pack a lot into the 14 weeks and the community you build really helps you stay on track and motivated.

They do a great job of trying to pack a lot into the 14 weeks and the community you build really helps you stay on track and motivated. Quick thing that I'd like to mention is that the pros and cons below are going to be outweighed by your ability to commit and work hard. Every person who met milestones on time, regardless of how they felt on the overall program, was putting in the time and energy. Good instructors, resources, overall well organized, good collaborative time. The instructors and TA's are all excited for you and seem to like their jobs. Lots of support throughout the process.There's also a lot of post bootcamp & career services related support .Sometimes their learning platform is not up to date which can cause a lot of frustration. Sometimes you may get a newer instructor and that can cause a lot more stress for you, especially if you struggle more to pickup the material. There is still a huge commitment of time and resources post bootcamp during the job search. Some people do get lucky and get employed quickly but ultimately you have to continue learning, building, etc.- Laura BGraduate Student • Graduate • Data Science & Machine Learning Online Part-Time Bootcamp • OnlineSep 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience!

I was a beginner in programming without a background in math, computer science or statistics so I wanted to try a bootcamp where some previous knowledge was not required. Coding Dojo helps you with a week of pre-bootcamp and then you start the whole bootcamp. I really liked that since the beginning people contact you, your counselor, your instructor, career services, etc. They give you immediate access to the learning platform, to the schedule, to the activities, etc. I feel that you do not get lost with all the new things you have to learn and do. I have taken other online courses/bridges programs and it did feel like you were there by yourself and if you learn something good for you because 'we do not care' and it was totally different with Coding Dojo. They give you real support! The platform is very interactive, Instructors and TA's really help you, they send you emails when you are behind asking how they can help, etc. The community and classmates were very nice too, they helped me many times. I can say that it is worth the money and your time. - Hyen Woo ParkGraduate • Software Development Online Part-Time Flex • OnlineSep 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I started this program with zero experience. Had a good platform to learn by myself and have previous lecture recordings. The learning platform was also well developed and maintained. All around it was a great experience. - C Thomas WyrthGraduate • Software Development Online Full-Time • OnlineSep 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

While I was making my decision to attend I found the staff to be pleasant, engaging, and capable. They always answered me promptly and referred me to sources that would help if they didn't directly/immediately know themselves. I ultimately decided to attend based on that and on the program they offered... it was one of the few that provided study in more than one programming language and that didn't insist on a Microsoft-centric learning experience.
Once in the program I found the curriculum to be directed and the instructors to be engaging. The time commitment is intensive (they make sure to acknowledge that continuously before you start) and it's easy to find yourself falling behind on daily expectations, but there were always resources available to help catch you back up - including TAs, access to Zoom classrooms, an active Discord for your cohort, and the ability to schedule 1-on-1s with the instructor. The testing paradigm to progress through the stacks is consistent and the scoring does offer students an opportunity to distinguish themselves.
Now, none of this is to say that Coding Dojo's program is perfect. During my cohort, at least, there wasn't a very solid sense of necessity during the project week that concludes each stack. Testing happens before then and can even run into that time if there are a lot of retakes and the project didn't have any bearing on your success or failure overall. There was also little import as to whether you should do them in a group or alone. Also, while there is an investment in the course materials to encourage students to do extra research on specific topics and to venture out to learn more about other languages, interfaces, and libraries, there are a few aspects of that where the program is definitely lacking. The most important of which I see as unit testing.
Outside of the program, Career Services is the other aspect to consider here. My experience overall has not been the most consistent. It is improving, but I had a rocky start from early on. A lot of my cohort-mates, however, swear by their CSMs and have since early on in the program. The alumni Discord is active and there are regular emails with job listings, activities/programs, and new partnerships the Dojo is taking on. All-in-all, there's a comprehensive after-program program... you just have to invest yourself in accessing it. Thank fully, it never really goes away, they say you have life-time access. - Michael LoucksSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Software Development Online Full-Time • OnlineSep 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
I learned a lot in a short time
It was a great program. I was able to learn three full stacks in a short amount of time all while using my GI Bill. Learning multiple stacks allowed me to decide the one to build my career on. - timothy souleGraduate • Dev Accelerator - LAMP, Python, Ruby on Rails, MEAN, iOS, .NET Core • SeattleSep 06, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great place to learn to code
I started this program with zero experience. They where very good at teaching coding in a way i could understand. The instructors where very helpful and the content was great! Couldnt have expected more. The learning platform was also well developed and maintained.

Amazing Program
I had my doubts and fears about returning to school to complete Coding Dojo's Full Stack Development course but it was one of the greatest learning experiences of my life. The instructors and TAs that I got to know while attending the program were all patient, passionate and dedicated to helping their students succeed. - Sophia BakerGraduate • Software Development Online Part-Time Accelerated • OnlineAug 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
BEST BOOTCAMP AVAILABLE
I learned to code while pregnant and with a newborn. The platform flexible and interactive. You can set your own pace, watch lectures live or recorded and the access to live help is always an option.

Great School
A solid choice if you are starting in tech or want to change careers. The staff is great, the curriculum is challenging but fair. You will learn so much and be such a better developer afterwards. The environment is welcoming and respect and instructors help you along the way. If you're on the fence choose this school. - Christina PilatGraduate • Software Development Online Part-Time Accelerated • OnlineAug 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
10/10 Would Recommend
The Coding Dojo experience was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It pushed me to my limit. But I loved it. The Dojo has so much to offer. They have amazing scheduling options, so much learning support - from instructors to TAs, great online community, user-friendly learning platform, reading & video materials, lectures from multiple instructors, and great career services support. There's so much to learn and it's going to require more time than you think but it's so worth it....The Coding Dojo experience was one of the hardest things I've ever done. It pushed me to my limit.

Great !
This is the Bootcamp that you need to level up your skills, it is intense, and you should work hard to get your belt.
Professors are the best in their field, always available, always kind and if they can't the professor's assistants have availability. You can set up a meeting with them to solve every issue that you have. My experience is in Full Stack Python part-time but it isn't part-time cause it is so intense and worthful, you should dedicate enough time to pass the belt exams at...This is the Bootcamp that you need to level up your skills, it is intense, and you should work hard to get your belt.

You can set up a meeting with them to solve every issue that you have. My experience is in Full Stack Python part-time but it isn't part-time cause it is so intense and worthful, you should dedicate enough time to pass the belt exams at the end it depends 100% on you cause there is material, class, exercises, and assistantships, everything that you need to learn and go beyond of what you need.
I highly recommend this Bootcamp, I'll take another BootCamp for sure.
