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_>.

What is learned is little compared to what is spent to take the course.
Overall, the bootcamp is a good experience, but we end up learning more from our peers than from the trainers. Trainers who don't even have a training course. We are in a room with 5 trainers, but only 2 help at a time without apparent justification. The conditions of the room are okay for a work environment but I expected more comfort considering the investment.

Trainers who don't even have a training course. We are in a room with 5 trainers, but only 2 help at a time without apparent justification. The conditions of the room are okay for a work environment but I expected more comfort considering the investment. As I mentioned, we end up learning and clearly making significant progress to enter the programming world, but that is because the class is all working towards the same goal, helping each other and showing various ways to approach the topics. The training plan, although structured, is not adapted to support people who start falling behind in the material. - AnonymousStudent • Student • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonApr 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Good
I like the conditions of the campus. And i really like the professors specially Miguel Rolo because of the patience with the students and also by the clarity explaining the subjects. I also think that should be provided more exercises and also the slides should be improved because the information provided by them sometimes is not the best and is not clear. To conclude i also like to say that the spirit of professors and the staff like Mariana that helps in this 14 challenging weeks. So t...I like the conditions of the campus.

Really good Bootcamp
In terms of location, it's not very good, it's a bit far from the center of Lisbon, despite having plenty of transport, as this course is very intense I need to spend many hours studying and thanks to the time I waste on transport, I can't use it all the time I have to study - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonApr 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Tough but amazing
I already heard that this bootcamp wasn't easy to do, but now I have been through it I can say it is way, way harder than I could ever imagine! And that is awesome, with the help of the amazing MC's (aka teachers) team I was able to learn so much, and go through things I could never imagine I was capable of! Also, the support and guidelines from the placement team in order to help us find our first job is just incredible! - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
14 weeks fullStack bootcamp
Amazing experience, it can be a little bit scary but it becomes easier with all the support from all the staff. The only experience where "trust the process" is real, you learn not only to code but mainly you learn to be a independent programmer capable to face all challenges that may come. - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
One of a kind experience
I've had my fair share of academic experiences and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I've never had one like this. I won't lie and say it is easy, but with the level of support provided by not only the instructors, but all the staff makes it a very fruitful experience. I feel I not only learned everything I need to tackle the job market, but grew as a person and professional.

I won't lie and say it is easy, but with the level of support provided by not only the instructors, but all the staff makes it a very fruitful experience. I feel I not only learned everything I need to tackle the job market, but grew as a person and professional. It's a lot of information and you need to really make yourself available to only focus on the bootcamp during it's duration but if you do, you'll learn more than you ever thought you would. In my specific experience, I was at the bootcamp 2 hours before class and stayed for 2-3 hours after the end of the day but I wasn't alone as a lot of classmates did the same.
Another point I feel I need to point out is the networking and relationships you'll build with your class. It's a truly cooperative environment where the success of one is the success of all. Make sure to connect with your class because there isn't anyone that is great at everything. Your faults might be their strength and vice-versa and by helping each other you'll progress and learn more than you would alone.
Give this bootcamp a chance if you want to truly learn to be a full stack developer and if you're willing to push yourself to your limits to be the best person and professional you can be. - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Life changing experience
This was the most life changing academic experience in my life. I was lost in life, as the my area of studies was sold as something it really wasn't and there was no job opportunities. After coming here, even with the high cost, it was more than worth it. The teaching methods are good, and the teachers are also nice and amazing at explaining, always available to help us even after hours.

I would recommend anyone looking to change they'r life to come here, even with the free pre-course that works as a selection method, it gives you a quick grasp into programming and a taste of what you are in for. Thank you code4all!
