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_>.

    Make friends for life, create stuff, have fun, while you learn to code!

     I was skeptical about <A/C_> when I first heard of it. The more I looked, the more I got convinced it was the thing to do, but once I got there all my expectations were exceeded. Expecting it to be some boring classes like every other course I had taken, it is the polar opposite. You learn by having fun, when you make a question the answer is not immediate, you're pushed to think for yourself and find it. Apply your new learned skills in small projects every week, and t...

    Get a job 1,5 months after I finished the bootcamp

    When you decide to give a try do do this,  you have to get in mind that you are betting "14week of your life" for a WIN.
    My advice, enjoy everyday in bootcamp, it will be "f***ing" hard for everyone. Don't worry to be beind the others, worry about enjoy the everyday's learning.

      "I will never forget "

    I will never forget the family that changed my life.

    I am eternally grateful to this School. They taught me to code, but they also taught me to learn.

    A Life-Changing Experience

    For those interested in programming and looking for a change in their lives, this is the right opportunity. It will be tough and challenging, but hey, nothing that's easy in life would be really worth it in the end.
    You'll learn more than you think, make friendships for life and get a new perspective about the future.
    Even after the end of the bootcamp, the given support until you get a job is amazing. You'll never be alone.

    Extremely rewarding for those willing to put in the work

    The bootcamp provides an extremely well-thought out and focused curriculum, as well as a fostering community (staff and colleagues). The intense work rhythm, allied with the "learn to learn" mentality, was the perfect way to fully dive into the programming world, with the true reward being becoming confident to face any future challenges with positivity, resilience and resourcefulness.

    A unique experience to learn coding while loving it, without any particular IT background

    I've attended this bootcamp in the start of 2021 in the midst of the pandemic, which for me resulted in a full remote experience. 
    Even with that handicap I had a great experience. 
    This is because Academia de Código adapts in each iteration to the group and current technologies. 

    It also manages very well to highlight the joys of coding by having teachers that can connect well with the students.

    Much more than a bootcamp

    A unique and incredible experience.
    The Code Academy aims to transform lives and they did it to me.
    Everything is very intense, but it prepares us in the best way to enter the job market.
    Dedicated teachers who are always willing to help. 
    Thank you for everything you are.
