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_>.

    I learned to code, and much more!!

     If you think they will teach you how to write lines of code and make stuff happen on the computer, you're right!! But there's so much more than that! 
    This Bootcamp is a life-changing experience, where you are put out of your comfort zone Every. Single. Day! It looked a bit daunting at first, but I came to realize that I was also evolving at an incredible speed! 
    "You must trust the process!" is something that we regularly heard, and it applies! In 14 weeks I learned to code, to f...

    Promise delivered!

    It is fast-paced. It is hard. It can be wacky at times. This Bootcamp surely delivers its promise. I went from code noob to professional in 14 most amazing weeks, landing a job soon after!

    As soon as I met the Master Coders through the selection phase and up to the actual Bootcamp, I realized that coding is not all about technical skills (worry not, the MCs will make sure you get your mad skills!) but also about culture! All professional fields have their own quirks and at <Aca...

    How to become and amazing programmer/genius!!

    Where to start? Maybe from the beginning. That initial flirt, that started somewhere in the last couple of years. That was basically me sharing my information and motivations, and they falling in love with me. Then immediately the rollercoaster began. After some time, breaking through the n01r, some challenges to learn the basis of programming, and to test our logical thinking, I got the almighty golden ticket. And so was able to attend ...

    The best learning experience I've ever had!

    Although my bootcamp was almost all remote, I didn't miss out on my learning experience, I was even more focused because I could hear every detail of the lectures (and all the jokes!). We made a Discord server and we were helping each other or just talking and playing most nights. The learning rhythm is so intensive that when it was over I kept going on studying every day, because there was all I knew! You literally feel like it's been years after a few weeks of lectures. If programming ...

    Life Changing

    I'm very happy with how the experience turned out. It was pretty much everything they said it would be and I'm very happy with how much I learnt and how much I've improved in many aspects, from coding to teamwork and self-criticism and critical thinking.

    Life changing

    The 14-week boot camp from Academia de Código allowed me to make a career shift from Mechanical Engineering to the IT space. This was exactly what I needed and it did overcome my initial expectations. If you don't feel like you're having any progress in your career, just go for it!

    Best decision of my life

    As I said to some recruiters, I had the best midlife crisis ever. 
    I worked in a call center for almost 10 years when exactly 3 years ago I decided to change my life and enroll in <Academia de Código_>. 
    I was afraid that my 42 years old was somehow an obstacle to hiring, but the truth is that after 15 days of the finished course I had the best contract I had seen so far. 
    In addition to the ease with which they teach technical knowledge in a very short time (3 and a half ...

    Got the code, got the family.

    After you get in you're <AC_> for life, they make you learn step by step #noSkiping and you get the how things are made knowledge.
    You get more than just plain "how to code", you get a community that backs you up all the way.
    Loved it!

    Way aheads of its time

     Within less than 2 months after finishing I landed a job.
    The bootcamps require you to give 200% of your life during those 3 months, but it's definitely worth it. They push you to the limit, all the while maintaining an amazing informal and casual relationship with the class.
    They give you the tools to succeed, but the work needs to come from you.
    The mentorship is great, even if you doubt yourself throughout 90% of the time. In the end you get an amazing feeling of achievement...

    5*

    Before starting the bootcamp, I was looking for a better job, doing something I probably liked.
    After finishing the bootcamp, I am doing what I always dreamed of.
    I am in a job that provides all the challenges I wanted for myself, accepting different daily tasks, learning new things every day and being better than myself the next day.

    The bootcamp I had @ <Academia de Código_>  not only prepared me for my current job, it also provided friends for life, new experiences ...
