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_>.

    Amazing

    All the experience was incredible!
    I'm from an utterly different area and so many times I thought I would fail, but every instructor always had a friend word to cheer me up.
    I assume that it was really difficult. I'd never been in a bootcamp before and I had no idea about how intense it is, but I did it!
    Now I am employed and discovered that my empoyeer admitted a lot of graduated students from Academia de Código - what proves the excellence.
    Yes, I was terrified, but now I a...

    Life changing

    Started with zero experience, got out as a real programmer. More than learning code languages or stack, Academia de Código teaches you to think like a programmer. Definitely a life changing experience.

    Been working as a programmer for the last 5 years, grew from an intern developer to a tech lead.

    A lifeboat for your professional life

    Definitely the best decision I made at a professional level. When you think that you no longer have options, you don't have professional stability, you don't know where to turn, <Academia de Código_> arrives like a lifeboat and gives you the opportunity you really need!
    It takes effort, no doubt, but you leave there more than prepared for the job market.
    It took me a week to find work in one of the big four consulting firms and there is no money to pay this...

    Totally worth it

    They don’t only teach you how to code but also how to solve problems and how to think towards programming, since programming is not only writting some lines of code, but also know how the language works, how everything should be structured, why was the language created, you will learned all that and more. All the tools around that programming language that you’ll need to properly develop. 

    I’m not going to lie, it’s 3 month and a half of non stop, it’s tiring and exhausting, but i...

    Great Experience

    This bootcamp has been an amazing experience, from the start while applying we could see the support from the team if you had any trouble throughout the process!
    The workshop is amazing, the process is very thorough selecting the best people in both soft skills and learning capability. 
    I had never written a line of code before and now I no longer feel a stranger in this world, they taught me how to code in 14 weeks and how to learn new things by myself!

    Best Computer Programming School

    Before starting my journey in <Academia de Código_> I didn't know how to write a line of code.
    After 14 weeks and a great experience - I am now a full stack developer.

    Most Challenging event of my life

    As a human with no prior background in programming, I found this to be the most challenging event of my life. I really believed it would be somehow easy since I did fairly well at university, but boy, I learned to not overestimate myself.

    We learned a lot, and I mean a lot of great tools and went through many topics. Intensive and Imersive are really the words for it. Can't say that you will have the time to understand all of it, but the basics you will always stick with, and lat...

    It was an amazing, super challenging and highly productive experience.

    In addition to all technical skills acquired, we are constantly challenged to work our soft skills. The teaching method allows us to improve our resilience, communication  and above all our self-taught skills.

    Throughout the bootcamp we are oriented on how we should look for a job and in fact i was surprised with the  number of contacts received from companies when bootcamp ended.
