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_>.

You are going to drive nonstop through paths, some are easy, some feels like impossible, but you will never be alone and will get up and above.
It was 14 weeks that seemed like 2 years of full time development (yes, my brain was still coding while I was sleeping) and like I said on the title, It's not about lines of codes, but improving yourself as a better professional and better person if you are willing to.
I went to a career changing, got one of the best experiences of my life and big family! And got a developer job too.- Kaká CordovilGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoJul 02, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp
If are you crazy to start 14 freak weeks to learn how could you look at yourself and see the most idiot person in the world who don't know how to explain to a computer how do you close or open a door, you are in the right place.
Here you will have the "rock's way", enjoying your process with <A/C_> support like your own family. It isn't easy, you would need to give a lot of yourself, but in the end, you would be proud of yourself and what you would build.

But don't worry, it could be worst.

A complete and intensive experience
This was a 5 days/week (usually from 9:30 to 18:00), 14-week intensive Bootcamp. The lectures were supposed to be 100% on-site, but by the third week, due to the pandemic, a remote learning system was adopted.

The lectures were supposed to be 100% on-site, but by the third week, due to the pandemic, a remote learning system was adopted.
The course was in itself highly engaging. The syllabus is complete: it starts by exploring programming basics and logic with Java and culminates in frontend development using JS. Most of the technologies and topics that were being addressed were accompanied by challenging exercises; these, in turn, were tackled in small groups to promote discussion of ideas and concepts that would help their resolution.
A thing that should be mentioned and highly regarded in this Bootcamp is the focus on the development of soft skills like oral and visual presentation, problem-solving and networking.
Overall, I was very satisfied with this Bootcamp and I recommend it to anyone that is looking to start their journey in IT and unsure where to start.

Believe them when they tell you to trust their syllabus
I wanted to switch from pharmacy to IT and going to Academia de Código was the best way to achieve that!
Their 14-weeks bootcamp is really intense but the staff make it so easy to deal with!
They are incredible! Their support is amazing, almost 24/7, and the persons that will seat next to you can be your next BFF's.

A Life-Changing Experience
Attending <Academia de Código_> was one of the best and most life-changing experiences I had in life. The course is very thorough - it's not for the faint-hearted. You put in the work, and get back the job. It's a 14-weeks intensive course, but I had my first job offer at one of the Big Four by week 13! That's why it's so respectable.
Everyone is so nice, intelligent and funny! It feels like you get into a best-selling sci-fi movie from day one.

It's hard! Sure... But if you don't understand something, the <Master Coders> will guide you through to that light-bulb in no time! And the best part of it all is that they never leave you afterwards. It's your home for life. - Alexandre VazGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonNov 12, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best way to learn
Simply the best bootcamp ever. I never really liked studying, but <Academia de Código_> makes you learn in a way I've never seen before. Everything they teach is totally useful and applies easily to any type of software development environment. They teach you how to programming regardless of language. I feel happy and supported like a family, I never imagined such a place. I am very grateful for all of you! Changed my life!
