Life Changing
I don't say this lightly, the 14 weeks spent here is something I never guessed would be this life changing. I feel like this was the school I wished I had as a kid. The openness and care for the students all of the staff have is something that's hardly seen anywhere else.

Amazing programming learning experience
The whole bootcamp experience was incredible. From the teachers and staff, and the environment they created, to the other students, I had a blast and learned an incredible amount of information in such a short period of time. These 14 weeks were one of the best experiences in my life. - Manuel Fé SantosCode Cadet • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
What a horizon ripping experience!
I joined this challenge to start a new life and to rebuild my skillset in the professional world. What I found during and after the bootcamp is that I can no longer see the old me, meaning the mission was accomplished.
The overall experience through the bootcamp was smooth but quite fast. I felt like a moving train that never stopped. As long as you are inside, the trip is gonna be held by the teachers and they will get you where you need to be.

It's really important to state that hard work is still needed as the course goes over 25 skills and technologies and most of them are quite complex and hard to get at first glimpse. - José SoaresGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Incredible military spirit
Undoubtedly one of the best experiences of my life, it managed to exceed all expectations in various ways. The atmosphere created around programming and the positive environment make Academia de Código stand out from all other bootcamps. Do not hesitate to join, it was a great choice. - João MatosGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by GitHubAug 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
You don't know how much you can learn in 14 week until you try this
Has someone who dropped out of university and always loved technology, this bootcamp was the best thing I believe i could of found, you learn a lot of Java, some Javascript and enough of css and html to make you want to learn more, and adventure into the job world as a full stack developer - Lucas David Rissi de AndradeStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInAug 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome!
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Code Academy is its passionate and experienced faculty. The instructors are not only experts in their respective fields but are also dedicated mentors who are genuinely invested in their students' success. The learning environment they create is supportive, collaborative, and encourages students to push their boundaries. - Valter OliveiraJunior Software Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 21, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intensive , crazy, rewarding
I took part on this intensive and crazy Bootcamp, and have the pleasure to get to know a lot of crazy people.
The Bootcamp it self , is very Intensive , but also very rewarding, what you learn here is actually what you need to be able to learn anything about programming , like good practices and other computer Languages, ill recommend every one that want to enter the Branch to do it. - Karolis VaitkeviciusFrontend developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • Terceira IslandVerified by LinkedInFeb 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best educational experience
I attended the bootcamp shortly after finishing high school. I also did a 1 year course in acting. I can say that the amount of fun I got from learning through Academia de Código is on par, if not more than my acting course. While the amount of different things I learned is on par with multiple years of high school. You don't just learn a language in which you can program.

I also did a 1 year course in acting. I can say that the amount of fun I got from learning through Academia de Código is on par, if not more than my acting course. While the amount of different things I learned is on par with multiple years of high school. You don't just learn a language in which you can program. You learn what makes a good programmer and you're given the tools to explore that. If you want the success that this course promises then you need to take it full on and remove every other distraction from your day to day life. Some people couldn't do that and so they cruised along the course and didn't amount to much. Others (most) are now working in the industry alongside other people who spent multiple years in university and earn the same while providing equal value. Actually, I would go as far as to say that A.C. produces alumni that provide even higher value because we're not taught in old fashioned ways of the university. We're taught the essentials and our motivation and drive does the rest. - Margarida CavadasGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInJan 03, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A new life!
For 14 weeks I lived through one of the most intense experiences of my life. Not only for the content and all the new information, but for the people (teachers and colleagues) with whom I shared this time. Every detail is thought to give you the best experience while learning how to change your life.
