Epicode is an online digital skills training academy that offers full-time and part-time bootcamps in web development and data analysis. Students choose which track they would like to study in, and then receive a 12-week training in the core basics. After that, students choose a 8-week Masters program to specialize in (back end development, mobile development, cybersecurity), and then complete a 4-week capstone project. Lessons are taught live online, and students will practice through projects and pair programming. Personal tutors are available to give students extra support during the bootcamp.
No prior experience is required to apply. Applicants will be interviewed and complete an assessment in order to be accepted to the bootcamp.
Epicode students receive career services while at the bootcamp. Soft skills training is incorporated into the curriculum, and students will be assigned a personal career coach. Career services includes personal branding and portfolio review.
Epicode offers an Income Share Agreement where students pay 33% of the tuition upfront and then the rest of the tuition after they land a job. Epicode is formerly known as Strive School.68 Epicode Reviews

A quantum leap in my understanding of web development
Three weeks of full immersion into the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I started from zero and rapidly improved my skills in the design of simple web content, understanding the available tools, key methods, and challenges in the field. Tutors from Strive provided very immediate and actionable insights, open to discussion and support.

I know that out there, there are dozens of coding boot camps, but STRIVE is unique! It is not only an educational provider but also a cheerful community of young engineers, who help and support each other!
The companionship we've built here is for life and that's rare! <3

Achieving my dream with STRIVE
How I found Strive?
I was always searching for coding boot camps, I came across a lot of them but on most of them, I had to pay an expensive price. At that moment I couldn't afford these courses.
While searching I found STRIVE website and while looking on their website I saw the stack that they were working on. The course was focused on MERN stack and we would start from the begging with all technologies inc HTML, CSS, JS, React, Express, Node, MongoDB, etc.

And the most important part was that they were not asking for any payment in the beginning. All they were looking for was talented and hardworking people that had a dream to become full-stack developers.
With the amazing tutors that were so helpful during the whole course, I managed to bring my programming skill to another level.
And this was just the beginning for me because with all those skills that I got during this boot camp I was able to land a job 1 month after I graduated. This is why I said on the title "Achieving my dream with STRIVE" because I did. I was able to land a job in the country that I wanted to live in and to be able to work on something that I enjoyed. - Ervins ZagarsStudent • Web Developer - Part Time • OnlineVerified by LinkedInNov 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best coding course out there
I joined Strive school's 6 month MERN stack course with no prior experience in programming.
The course completely exceeded my expectations - the level of support provided by tutors and fellow classmates was exceptional.

What I enjoyed the most was that Strive does not only teach coding, but also put major emphases on harnessing soft skills, learning how to work in a team and how to brand/present yourself - all the things needed to be able to actually get a job and work in a professional environment.
After recently getting hired I can say from my experience that teaching methodologies used in Strive School work 100%. Getting paid for a skill you knew nothing about 6 months ago is kind of unbelievable, but that's how good they are at preparing software developers.
Not to sound too dramatic, but joining Strive School has been on of the best decisions I've ever made :)

When I came across Strive school,
I was already a stem (science, technology, engineering, and math) student as a software engineer student.
However, I was also deeply aware of the problem of not catching up with the industry in schools. Because as a software engineer student, I was following the companies and the technologies they used.

I was already a stem (science, technology, engineering, and math) student as a software engineer student.
However, I was also deeply aware of the problem of not catching up with the industry in schools. Because as a software engineer student, I was following the companies and the technologies they used.
In this sense, schools train software developers that are insufficient for the industry, both as a technical stack and as a practical skill. And they are expensive.
That is why the industry makes its own training programs or trains employees first with low wages even after student's graduation after all the money spent.
Strive solves this problem, by standing at the student side!
That being the case, when I saw the Strive School student announcement, I never thought about it twice and I joined it.
Because you don't pay until you're hired! A very convincing offer.
At the end of 6 months of intensive training, I can say that I joined Strive as a student, but already became a part of the family.
They have warm, understanding teachers and administrators, and I am grateful to all of them and also for everything that they taught to me.

A Striver's Experience
I must say that I entered Strive School with high expectations since all the tutors have strong solid backgrounds. Now that my batch has finished, it is safe to say that Strive School exceeded my expectations. The curriculum focuses on MERN stack, javascript, HTML, CSS, and bootstrap but also touches other subjects like PostgresSQL and cloud computing. It is well-organized as it balances the equation of theory and practice.

Now that my batch has finished, it is safe to say that Strive School exceeded my expectations. The curriculum focuses on MERN stack, javascript, HTML, CSS, and bootstrap but also touches other subjects like PostgresSQL and cloud computing. It is well-organized as it balances the equation of theory and practice. Tutors are proficient with their topics, and they assist students until ideas are clear. The whole team is the student's number one supporter until the last minute. So, you can be sure that you will finish with a clean and solid understanding of the mentioned skills.
A good tutor is the one that inspires, and this is where Strive School stands out. They teach you that choosing to be a developer means constant learning and searching, so they train the student on those skills. They focus on the student's confidence and ability to communicate by having the chance to ask questions during live lessons & one on ones and doing teamwork along with pair programming.
I highly recommend this school as it has the best team and values. - JakubGraduate • Web Developer - Part Time • OnlineVerified by LinkedInSep 08, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I improved my knowledge about the MERN stack and I gained many new skills. The teaching was great and always get support and good insights for any issue I could have.

From day 1 my mind was fulfilled with new information and have to admit some times I had to sweat to process everything but was worth the effort and I could not regret having learned so much. I strongly recommend taking Strive for anyone who wants to become a coder and want to give an effort to enter the IT world from the right side. Is not easy but with the right mindset and Strive one would be able to succeed and gain the right skills for the right programmer job. - Erik OndraSoftware Developer • Graduate • OnlineJul 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
greate time, a lot of work, learned a lot
The time during the course can be very stressful because you have to learn a lot in a short time. However, the teachers do their best to make this happen. It is also a lot of fun to share the experience with your fellow students - Wako AnindoSoftware Engineer • Graduate • OnlineMay 11, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Curiosity brought me to Epicode. I wanted to know what a professional environment was like and see what it would take to become a full stack developer. It was a lot harder than I expected, but thanks to the excellent teaching and encouragement along the way I made it out on the other side. Believe me, if you can do this you will be ready to make a career out of this. - Roberta Materajunior developer • Student • Frontend Development • OnlineFeb 09, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
