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 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.
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.
Academia de codigo provides a complete experience.
Classes are given in a very accessible environment, were asking questions is viewed very positively. Collegues are very nice and also willing to help. Professors quite knowledgeful in the sylabus.
Everything in <Academia de Código_> is about good and intense experiences, the best way to learn something fast and well. Totally recommend!
A unique and exciting experience packed with new challenges everyday, and a job in the end.
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...

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 you throughout the journey, passing their knowledge and treating you as an equal... that's amazing!
It's a big challenge, but it's also a great experience. People from different backgrounds have come and gone and no one is left behind. It promises a bright future for everyone. Are you going to be the next fullstack programmer? :3
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!

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.

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.

..that's what my bootcamp @ <Academia de Código_> helped me do!

And I did :)
My twin brother had attended this bootcamp 1 year before and, because of it, I knew I had the right mindset to become a programmer, so..
I applied to <Academia de Código_>'s (AC, for short) bootcamp without ever studying anything remotely close to programming. I did use and knew how to use several programs but I had no real knowledge of any programming language.
I solved their challenge and got a golden ticket to one of their workshop! YAY!
But I was so nervous that I f#$%ed up and got turned down. They asked me to go to a second workshop though..
..but, to attend that one I had to miss a trip to Peru (see ya some other time Machu Pichu..!) but I studied hard and worked to improve and I passed! I WAS IN :D
I was so happy to have finally found a bootcamp that taught just like I enjoyed learning.
The room is different, the teachers are different, everything is different... in a good way! You FEEL like you CAN BE YOUR AWKAWARD SELF. Nobody says anything if you don't go BUT YOU WAN'T TO GO EVERY DAY. Every day is exhausting BUT YOU ARE THERE THE NEXT MORNING. This.. my friends, is called PASSION.
This is what I found in AC_'s bootcamp, my passion for programming.
I also found myself explaining every solution to my peers, I WANTED them to FIND what I did and I tried my best to be understood.
AC_'s staff is: helpful, understanding, make you feel comfortable and they ALWAYS MAKE SURE that you learned the lesson.
Stop reading the reviews, stop searching, YOU FOUND IT.
Apply to one of <Academia de Código_>'s bootcamps right now!
IT
WILL
CHANGE
YOUR
LIFE
I know mine did ;D
Have a great day!
