Codeup is an immersive 15- to 20-week, in-person Full-Stack Web Development, Data Science, and Cloud Administration career accelerator in San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston. The Full Stack Web Development program covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, Java, Spring, and MySQL. The Data Science Program covers Python, SQL, data visualization, data analytics, data wrangling, and statistics. The Cloud Administration program covers networking, Linux, Windows, security, and AWS Cloud. Codeup offers a Tuition Refund Guarantee, which states if a student has not landed a job in-field within six months of completing their program, 100% of their paid tuition will be refunded back to them.

Prospective students must submit a brief online application, interview with the Codeup team, and then pass a 40-minute test covering word problems, logic problems, and basic algebra. The application process seeks three things: professionalism, motivation, and problem-solving ability. 

Codeup has dedicated staff, an employer network, and community partnerships to help students land entry-level software development, data science and cloud administration positions. Students receive help on the job search through workshops, job fairs, and one-on-one support to navigate the tech industry. The most successful Codeup students are prepared to jump into careers as developers, data scientists, and cloud administrators, as well as enjoy the challenge of solving complex problems. 

As of November 2022, Codeup is Texas' first and only accredited coding bootcamp. Codeup is accredited for postsecondary, non-degree granting, career, and technology programs by the Middle States Commission on Secondary Schools of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools.

    Unbelievable experience!

    Codeup gave my career a boost after having done RPG for several years.  After a downsize, I found myself with an incredible opportunity to learn full stack development.  Due to this incredible experience and opportunity, I was able to work as a .net developer and now a Software Engineer at USAA.  Couldn’t have asked and attended a better program than Codeup!

    Worthwhile Experience

    I enjoyed my time at Codeup. It was a fun and excellent experience and I felt that it helped prepare me for my future career. Even though I'm not doing software development right now, I feel it was worth it for sure.

    Life-changing

    Going to Codeup was the best decision of my life. The technical skills that you learn at Codeup are the exact skills necessary for the world of programming. I use these skills on a daily basis and not just for the sole purpose of income. Codeup truly taught me how to solve complex issues with a fundamental approach, and taught me several lessons that transcend programming. If you have an interest in learning how to code, check out Codeup. I'm confident that you will share the same experi...

    Most reliable career accelerator

    I was referred to Codeup data science program and it's the best decision ever. Incredible instructors and great curriculum that covers more than enough content for everyone to be employable. Plus the assistance in job searching is extremely helpful - I launched my first job in tech shortly after graduating. I would recommend the program to people who is in need of a career change, and willing to put in the effort.

    Full Stack Web Development

    The boot camp was hard but I already knew that and you should know that as well. The staff is always willing to help you out if you reach out to them which they encourage you to. Kenneth is a great instructor. He has a great sense of when to push new material, breaking it down, and time to step away from the code. He reads the classroom very well. If I had a chance to do it all over again, I don't know if I would. There are a lot of free resources to learn to code. Cheaper options too wi...

    One of the few

    I've honestly been debating writing this review for a long time.  On one hand I think people need to hear my experience to help make an informed decision about their future.  And on the other hand I understand that my experience with Codeup was over two years ago now and that things, from what I can see, have changed for the better at least somewhat.  In the end I decided to write this review mainly for me since I find myself to this day thinking back on this course and what went wrong. ...

    Do not trust the Placement Team

    I graduated from Codeup in 2020. The curriculum is great and the instructors were super helpful, but do not put too much faith into the placement team. Within the six months after graduation, I never received an “in-field” job offer and they’ll push your cohort to the side once a new class has graduated. Even though I attended every monthly meeting, met the number of weekly GitHub commits and weekly job applications, I was passed up on better opportunities that were given to students who...

    It's a door. It opens things like other doors.

    Very political, like stupid political. Uses students who love code and learning takes there suggestions without giving correct feedback. Also will try the hardest to get money, if you check any of the offered scholarships from they school itself it never goes to the student. It ONLY goes to codeup. So you dont see any scholarship money really hit student hands. The grants and twf will cover the most of it. And just know they open doors and teach you the basics at bare minimum. Why review a...
