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_>.

    The best experience ever

    I was a financial profesional that builded the career to work with numbers....but after years been unhappy I understood that I wasn't doing what I love. 
    <_Academia de Código_> was for me a door that open my mind and help me to discover my passion. That's not just a question to learn Java or JavaScript, they helped me to be a better profesional, a better person, someone that go forwards behind your dreams.

    The best

    My journey to learn programming started by doing online courses on YouTube, udemy, udacity. While doing the courses felt of a need to take classroom course. After hearing from one of my friend applied through online site of academia de código and they accepted my application. From the beginning to the end, they surpassed my expectations. They are really good what they do. They never leave you in dark, of course they give challenge to do yourself but you will always find their helping hand. Th...

    14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp

    14 weeks when I didn't have time for anything but seeing lines of code.
    14 intensive weeks but in the end it is well worth the effort.

    Fullstack Developer

    I had previous experienced, developed 2 or 3 games and knew some AI algorithms by memory. I thought this would be easy until half the bootcamp. I was SO wrong. I was learning new stuff and improving every single day!

    It's incredibly enjoyable. You spend 14 weeks developing professional skills in a comfy environment, with plushies and friends around you, being tested against hard odds but still having a blast. Amazing teachers, who love their job, will be your friends and care for...

    Becoming

    From zero to programming super hero in three and a half months!

    I had no idea what I was getting into when I signed up for the Bootcamp, but I knew from trustworthy source that it was good.

    Turned out to be one of the most super duper amazing experiences of my life!

    Through sweat and tears and a few sleepless nights we acquired knowledge, and most importantly experience that would take years to gather anywhere else! But not without loads of fun and spectacular...

    The most best 14 weeks of my life!

    This course exceeded my best expectations. The course description is not an understatement. These were the most intensive, breathtaking weeks of my life with challenges every day. The master coders were all very friendly and most important very thoughtful to everyone explaining things in so many ways and never letting go until everyone understood the subject. But most importantly they teach us new ways of thinking and how to approach each problem. Five stars for the whole team is just perf...

    Once in lifetime experience

    5 stars is not enough to rate the opportunity, and experience, I lived for 14 weeks.
    It literally changed my life. From a clueless, future-less, scattered unemployed with no academic degree, to a  promising, motivated Full Stack Software Engineer, that grabbed a terrific job at the European Parliament, back-lighted with the mighty knowledge absorbed from my Padawans and my 14 weeks borrowed family. As it transforms strangers in family, and hard work, suet and tears, in love, prosperit...

    Truly a life changing experience that I am grateful to have embraced!

    After finishing my master thesis in Environmental Engineering about smart cities I felt the need to learn more about programming. And that is how I found Academia de Código!

    Right now I found my true purpose and I can conciliate my engineering skills with working with the best companies developing groundbreaking solutions!
