Founded in Portugal in 2015, Code for All_ is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. Code for All_ describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.

Code for All_'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp. 

At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the Code for All_ website.

Code for All_ was formerly known as <Academia de Código_>.

    Most amazing bootcamp EVER!

    Attending this bootcamp was the best decision of my life. It got me prepared for the world of programming in 3 months and it helped me to get into the job market instantly after it finished! With amazing colleagues and professors, I had an amazing experience which I will remember and take everything that I learned for the rest of my journey. Thank you <Academia de Código_>! :D

    Best 3 months of my life

    More than just a school, Academia de Código is a family. Of course the tecnhical aspect is there, you learn a lot and the skill set you gain is highly sought after from companies. But more than anything, the friends you make along the journey are the real "juicy" part of it.

    The Best Decision of My Life

    It's an amazing, intense, life-changing experience that I will always recommend to anyone who asks.
    One week after completing the 14-weeks bootcamp, I had already signed my first contract as a junior programmer and I can't wait to start (I'll start by the end of the month).
    Applying to OportoUNITY bootcamp by <Academia de Código_> was, without a doubt, the best decision I've made in my life so far!

    Life-changing!

    I've been lost for a while, experiencing a bunch of dead-end jobs. The learning path started at Academia de Código has (finally) put me on the right track professionally. Now I work in a very dynamic sector, with very good working conditions and lots of room for improvement. Sooo, it really did change my life!

    Life-Changing

    Before I joined this bootcamp I was working a dead-end job in a callcenter. Looking for a way to change my life around, I had a friend who recommended this bootcamp, mentioning that everyone he'd worked with who had come from there had come very well prepared. 
    The wonderful thing about this area is that a College degree  isn't as valued as your coding skills. A couple of weeks before the bootcamp had come to an end I was already in interviews with various companies and managed to lan...

    The Best Bootcamp in Portugal

    I can't recommend this course enough for anyone. It's amazing how much content one can teach in 3 and a half months. In this time frame, I became job ready for an IT job. I even acquired knowlege regarding software development methodologies, such as Agile and Kanban that will also help me in my life as an entrepreneur.
    The teachers were very knowlegeable about the topics and were ready to help us, if we really got stuck. They also have the skill of not helping, when it's uneeded, in o...

    Be Warned

    You have been warned. This is not a bootcamp for the faint of heart. Be ready to be challenged and put outside your comfort zone on a daily basis. You will have to suffer with your colleagues while you battle through the curriculum with the help of your teachers.
    It's a lot of fun actually so give it a try.

    Best decision of my life

    It's far from being easy, but totally worth it! I was desperate for a change in my life and to reject dead end jobs, which lead me to consider a complete change. I am one of those rare persons that had always avoided everything related to technologies , so for me to enroll in a challenge like this wasn't easy at all... in fact it was one of the hardest things that I have ever done, but by far, perhaps the best.
    I can guarantee that you are getting into one of your life's best teaching...

    They deliver it

    I didn't have any previous contact with IT world, nevertheless, I'm now currently employed, only 2 weeks after finishing the Bootcamp. Yes, it's very intensive and demanding, yes you will have to put up your best to get the best out of what is taught to you, but in the end, it will be very rewarding. You'll make friends, you'll learn to program, you'll have amazing teachers, and more important than all, you'll be quickly employed with the help of an inexhaustible Placement team.
