    A well thought program combined with a great team of coaches

    Intense but really rewarding. In 12 weeks I learned a lot and I can definetely see myself as a junior web developer and confident to enter the job market. 

    Craft Academy bootcamp will not teach you only how to code but also how to work qualitatively as a developer with the agile methodology. 

    The program is well thought and coaches will push you to the extent of believing that you cannot take it anymore, but this is part of the process to build you up. The support from ...

    This bootcamp will teach you the technologies and frameworks necessary to enter the job market with skills that allows you stand on your own. It is challenging and you will be pushed to the brink, but the coaches are there to guide you and help you in times of despair. Just remember that in the end it is you that will have to do the heavy lifting. Coaching only gets you so far.

    I thoroughly enjoyed my time at the bootcamp. Even if I had some prior knowledge of programming I was a...

    Very challenging, but incredible rewarding

    I started this boot camp knowing next to nothing about webdevelopment and coding. The boot camp did not make me into a expert programmer, but it certainly taught me a solid foundation to stand on and to continue. I was taught the best practices for writing code, to work and collaborate as a team and test driven development of webapplications.

    The coaches are very professional, helpful, capable and highly commited to your learning. They are there almost every hour of th...

    The perfect environment

    Being a student at Craft Academy has been one of the most useful and important experience of my life.

    This is not just a first step into programming, but you will get way deeper into programming than you can even begin to imagine. Before the Bootcamp started I really didn't know anything about coding, 12 weeks later and coding feels like such an important part of my life.

    The very thing that makes Craft Academy such a great place to start your Programming-career is the whol...

    A great start in on your Software Development journey

    I have always wanted to be a developer so I started looking around for courses and came across Craft Academy and sent them an email, I received a response almost immiedietly.

     

    When I joined I knew it would be hard but I was not prepared for how it was but the coaches are very supportive and it is a great learning environment

     

    I can honestly say I am glad that I chose Craft academy as they did not just teach you how to develop an application they taught you...

    Simply put.. Amazing <3

    The 12 weeks I spent with Craft Academy is hands down one of the best experiences of my life! It was hard, sometimes really hard, but sooo worth it!

    If you want to learn, not just how to code and become a programmer, but also how the real world works, how to work with real projects in teams, to work remote and don’t want to spend 3-4 years at university learning stuff that are outdated anyway when you finally do graduate, then Craft Academy is the place for you!...

    Great start to your journey

    Craft Academy and thier coach team does a fantastic job guiding you in to the jungle of web development. 

    You will get a great understanding of the big picture which makes picking up new lanuages and frameworks after the bootcamp a real treat. 

    Three weeks after the bootcamp I got an intership as a React/Native developer. 

    I have Craft Academy to thnak for that. 

    I if want to learn how to code I really recommend this bootcamp.

    Great way to get into the world of coding.

    Due to a long time wish of wanting to learn to code, but not wanting to do online course I started looking into the concept of coding bootcamps. 

    After some research and considering my options I ended up applying for Craft academy in Gothenburg - a decition I do not regret. 

    The course starts with building fundamentals and from there move on with teaching you tools and techniques for you to create more complex things and solutions.

    Best learning experience of my life!

    I took part of Craft Academy with the January 2018 cohort, what a ride!

    I moved from Italy to Sweden just for attending this course and I can state it's been the best investment I could have made on myself as a person and my career. 

    I definitely reccommend this Bootcamp, coaches support is outstanding, since the preparation course before the actual beginning of the Bootcamp itself. I remember I was still in Italy at that time and they got in touch with me on a daily basis,...

    What a journey!

    I have been working within IT, with software testing and test management since 2007. And I totally love my job! However learning new things is never wrong, right? I attended Craft Academy for two reasons.

    I wanted to expand my current role to also include working with test automation. What I really liked with this bootcamp was the concept of test and behavior driven development. How big part test is playing in software development - that I always knew. What I didn't know and real...

    Excellent boot camp

    I can highly recommend this boot camp.

    The coaches are always there for you both to assist and challenge you to move forward. I cant remember how many times I felt like I didn't know wtf was going on and as soon as I was getting comfortable with the material the coaches ramped up the difficulty. This is a very demanding course and hard work and consistency is the only thing that will get you through it.
