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_>.

You get to experience the most intense, fast paced, detailed and specialised training program, focused in computer programming and computer science, but you do this while in the most creative and emancipating environment you can dream of.
It's something you never seen or tried before, and I can guarantee, you will never experience it again, it's something you do and changes you forever... it goes beyond the coding, it completely changes your life.
The skills you will learn, what you will achieve, what you will become after the bootcamp is a new enhanced you.
And the people behind this, the pure brilliance behind each and everyone of them, it's like they are unique stars that somehow got carefully aligned to boost you and leverage all the things you didn't know you had, turning you from the rough piece of carbon into a specialised shiny diamond.
<AC_> has the best bootcamp ever, EVER.

I was, once upon a time, an unemployed Clinical Analysis Master's graduate.
Then I learned how to code, and I never looked back.
Now seriously, there are many reasons why I think anyone jobless, with quick thinking, an interest for technology and an eternal thirst for knowledge should apply for this course:- The syllabus is really strong. You will learn to read the Code as if it was a natural language. It will quickly take you through the 1s and 0s of the old ways, so you better understand how the Code evolved into the modern languages of today (Java && JavaScript).
- The road is full of challenges and discoveries. You will constantly have the limits of your abilities tested. But don't worry if this sounds scary. You will always have by your side trustworthy Padawans (instructors) to guide you through.
- You will obtain knowledge that will turn you into an independent and ever-evolving Je- I mean Coder.
On the career side of things:- You will be prepared for interviews. During the bootcamp you will be doing presentations, test your tech knowledge and improving your CV to better suit the needs of your future employers.
- There are opportunities during the bootcamp for employers to contact you directly and you will be prepared accordingly.
- Last time I checked, the percentage of employed graduates was around 96%.

The Bootcamp is very intense but it manages to make you a great problem solver.
The syntax is just syntax, I think the best outcome is their ability to make you think for yourself, gain confidence, and that makes you capable of learning, and overcoming any struggle.
This is much more than just a regular Bootcamp, it makes you a better person overall and gives you the tools to thrive in software development, you just need to have the guts and the will to take it and make your own path.

Life Change Experience!!!
The best decision I ever made. It is really intensive, you breathe coding all day long during 14 weeks, you will need willpower avoid quitting in the first 2 weeks, but it will be 200 % worth.
You will learn how things work, you learn how to do things from zero, you really know what is happening behind all the abstraction that the different frameworks and libraries use during the boot camp. Design Patterns and good practices are present every day in every lecture.

You will learn how things work, you learn how to do things from zero, you really know what is happening behind all the abstraction that the different frameworks and libraries use during the boot camp. Design Patterns and good practices are present every day in every lecture.
Beyond all the programming concepts, you will make a new family with other Cadets, with the Master Coders and all the people from Academia de Código.
After the 14 weeks, you will be a new person, you will know your strengths and weakness, and most of all you will be ready to get trough any challenge you face in your life.
Don't think twice and apply for the boot camp ... thank me later. - Mariana Cavadas14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Nothing like a regular school! Academia have a modern approach on lectures, exercises and authentic features to improve all your skills. In fact, all your potential, both technical and social, will be pushed to the limits and beyond.
This three months will look like three years due to high immersive rhythm of the bootcamp. And that's not only because of the exercises and the syllabus, no! You will be guided throw the bootcamp by an awesome staff and creating really strong bounds with your classmates throw group exercises (in which you will learn how to work as team and manage the team moral and workflow).
To show you of how intensive and efficient Academia de Código bootcamp is, here this example: with just to two weeks learning java, me and all my classmates, who start the bootcamp with no background skills on programming, were able to develop a game from scratch in a single week, writing all the code with no guidance while learning a new graphic library to do it- and we still had lectures that week to attend for learning new stuff, which left us with almost no time to work on the game.
Also, if you don't have the money from start to pay for the bootcamp, Academia de Código have solutions to overcome that problem in way that the money will not be a problem at all.
If you are into programming and want to start a new career on this area, don't wast more time, come join this awesome family of coders! - Pedro AntoninhoGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 18, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I come from a “gray” area (finance and accounting) and I never thought that at the age of 57 I would go through an experience of this nature. I just know that it was worth every cent I invested.
I met wonderful people and learned a lot. I started to understand the world before and after the “ENTER”, and how through programming we can create other realities.
For me, it was like a vaccine against aging. However, anyone who wants to participate in this experience has to be aware that it is 3 months of pure involvement and dedication. There is no place for distractions as the focus has to be maintained until the last day.
When we finished the 14 weeks of training, we felt as if 3 years had passed. But at the end of the last second of the last day, the feeling of personal fulfillment is brutal. - António MorãoStudent • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Hardcore Matrix-like Learning

Basically <Academia de Código_> does the real-life equivalent by condensing a lot of knowledge to be learned in as quickly as possible.
Between the fast pace and the extent covered, the only drawback is that you have to have the capacity to absorb all that knowledge while more is still being pushed into you. I can't say it's the same for everyone, but I definitely benefited from already being familiar with programming in general to be able to keep up without having to pour too many extra hours in reviewing contents.
It is not flawless and not everyone should try to undergo this course. But I'm confident saying that you'll come out of it with a solid foundation in programming knowledge and a productive mindset. - André PinhoStudent • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
One hell of a ride
I don't know if I should laugh or cry, but what I do know is that with just 14 weeks I was able to gain the knowledge to be a Full Stack Developer.
In a crazy and immersive bootcamp, where you live and breathe code, I can guarantee that who you are when you finish it will be vastly different of who you were when it all started. Ask me a thousand times and more, the answer will always be the same: I would do it all again.
