    Great investment of time in high paid skill.

    I would call it a great investment of your precious time to learn a high paid and in demand skill sets.
    The boot camp is not just about barely learning coding languages, but its rather to teach how the software development industries work in real life. From design of the product to production line.
    For someone entirely new to coding languages it might come across quite difficult to understand and manage everything.
    But again if there is will there is way

    One of the best choices you'll make

    I was looking for a valuable bootcamp to get back into the Software Development industry (after 4 years out of it). After looking around I came across Craft Academy, and I did the right choice.
    I believe in big "classrooms" it's hard to focus on each student, with Craft Academy you'll get direct help from the coaches and you won't feel abandoned.
    The time span is short, but a lot is learnt and you're pushed further your limits, to the point you won't believe how much you were able ...

    Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp

    There are many web developer bootcamps to choose from, but this one is special. Like so many things in life, what you get out of it is based on what you put in, but at CA the curriculum, the instructors, and the collaboration (hello pair programming!) with the other students is an incredibly potent mix that gives you so much, way more than what you put in. Now don't get me wrong. I've never worked this hard in my life, but I've not also never experienced such rewards. 

    A few thing...

    Exactly What I needed

    Where to begin?

    A little backstory, I worked in the corporate world of buying and purchasing, long days working as a middle man between different departments, dealing with issues etc etc etc.... either way I hit the proverbial wall and was on sick leave for better part of half a year.

    I did a lot of searching during the latter part of this time, I wasn't enjoying my job, I was anxious about going back and didn't want to end up in the same place again. Light bulb...

    Better than expected

    Like many I choose this bootcamp to change career and get into web development. I had basic experience in programming, I new what is variable, array, loop etc. and could manipulate them on basic level. However software development is much more than just hacking away, I new that it should incorporate some workflow and you should follow some standards to be successful, that's why I decided to spend very considerable sum of money for me, to enter this bootcamp and never regretted it.

    A perfect match

    To me, Craft Academy was a perfect match. The super high intensity, the clear pragmatic focus, the fine red thread throughout the course, the great coaches, and an awesome team made this boot camp one of the best decisions I've ever made. 

    I could come with many anecdotes or renditions of my time at Craft, but I think one of the most important realizations that I can pass down is that this boot camp provides the foundation, the boundaries, and the motivation - but you are the one ...

    Boot Camp

    I recently completed the boot camp and this is a crazy feeling. It was hard but fun journey and it has been a lot of ups and downs during the boot camp. But with the support of our coaches we made it. 

    The program is very intensive and you don't get what's going on from the start, but after first weeks you get used to the working tempo and realize that all is going on the right way. You start to understand whats happening, you start to create things that you never thought you coul...

    Bootcamp Review

    Why I chose Craft Academy:
    I found Craft Academy after I began learning Python through books. I realised the most efficient way of learning was repetition, practice and having some sort of a mentor. I wasn't wanting to spend 4 or so years to get a degree in a field where it's possible to show knowledge without paper. I was looking for an environment where I could work in a team and work in real life situations and projects. Craft Academy offered all the things I was ...

    Craft Academy Bootcamp

    Before l attended to the boot camp. What l had in my mind was, is 100k really worth a 4 months education. Will l learn much and be able to get a job offer once l am done? I am sure whoever reads this thinking about joining thinks the same. Let me tell you that this is really worth it. 

    I recently finished the boot camp and honestly l feel so proud and happy over myself for doing this. It was such a hard journey and it has been a lot of ups and downs during the boot camp. But with ...

    Tough, but rewarding

    I learnt a lot during these past weeks and I really can chime in with the choir when they say that it is a fast pace and you have to really "Live" coding during these weeks. But it is rewarding in the end, and for me landed me my first coding job at my current workplace where I before worked as a QA.

    Since I knew some programming (Mainly HTML, CSS and some Javascript) before applying I think I had an easier time during this bootcamp than some, and to some degree I recommend havin...

    Great curriculum , best self-invesment I have made,

    After wondering, where can i go to learn coding while picking up some soft skills and good coding practices, I came across Craft Academy. Their curriculum didn't only focus on teaching me to code, it was design perfectly to make me job ready by the time i was finished with the course. I was taught the best practices to use when coding. I was taught to use agile methodologies and test driven approach when developing softwares. I was given great job assistance. They modelled their curricul...

    Best investment you can make

    I was working in marketing as CRM Specialist for quite some time. In the beginning, I was quite challenged and had a great team. I was kind of an all-rounder regarding creative and technical tasks as well as analytics and business strategies. But after 4 years I realized it's not challenging anymore and the career steps I could take in that field are limited. 
    I've decided to push my technical and creative skills to the next level and do the coding bootcamp Craft Academy. I knew some ...
