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.

    Fast, Teamwork, Prepared

    Codeup was such a fast pace, and I love fast-paced environments. At the same time, I had to recognize I wasn't going to come out as an expert. I was going to have a lot of great info and be enabled to know where to look information up so that I can learn and expand my knowledge beyond the program.  Codeup provides the opportunity to learn and be employable but the student must also be willing to devote the time.  In essence, you get out of the program what you are willing to put into it....

    Excellent, fast-pace, and worth it

    Codeup was a combination of intense and fun. Since you spend several hours a day with your classmates, you develop deep friendships as well as superior study groups where everyone is committed to collaborating without hesitation. I would describe the velocity of the information taught is like a firehouse in which you have to keep on your toes. What’s useful is the instructors are incredibly helpful during class & office hours. In addition, classmates were more than willing to share a...

    Career game-changer!

    Attending Codeup was one of the best decisions I've made! During the program I was able to learn an entirely new skillset from a team of extremely knowledgeable and helpful instructors. The suite of project work we completed really helped put into action each new competency as we learned it. As I neared graduation I felt really supported as I entered my job search and even received several job offers before completing the program.

    On top of learning a relevant and valuable stack ...

    Life changing bootcamp experience

    As someone who did not complete a traditional university degree, a bootcamp was a very interesting prospect. I had no idea what a positive effect it would have on my life and career. Completing the Codeup course gave me the skills and confidence I needed to start my new career, which I am still happy in 4 years later. I would recommend them to anyone looking to change careers.

    Life Changing Experience

    I had a great experience at Codeup. We had some pre-work that I completed as expected which helped to jump start the learning since so much had to be taught in such a short amount of time. The instructors were always open to questions and available to clear up any confusion. We had many guest speakers once a week during our lunch hour that exposed us to different experiences and tools to help us be better developers. Once I finished the program, the instructors held mock interviews at my...

    Life Changing!

    There are many other paths to enter into and be successful in software development, however attending Codeup played a huge part in my career path specifically. While I still had to contribute lots of hard work and commitment to my learning, Codeup's coursework and hands on instructors, coupled with their network of both alumni and hiring partnerships have played a critical role in my career progression.

    Best decision I could've made in choosing a Data Science Program

    Previous to my experience at Codeup, I had spent a year off and on looking for the right Data Science bootcamp where I could attend full time while also still supporting my family. I could not have asked or found a better program. 

    Even from the initial onboarding experience, to the introduction and school-walkthrough, the coursework and also the career-finding process, I am so pleased with the support I received from this program. The coursework was challenging and kept me accoun...

    Codeup is Horrible!

    Veterans “Do Not Go To Codeup”! I would give this zero stars if it was an option. Google other bootcamps that will be better. I went to Fullstack and loved it, but go anywhere but Codeup. Their incompetence cost me $7,500 and their concern was not if I was OK, they were only concerned about their scholarship computer that they want back. This is the most expensive bootcamp and your classes will consist of Google, Mozilla, and Youtube other schools teaching the same subject (No...

    Get Out What You Put In

    For me Codeup was a necessary step in realigning my career trajectory. I graduated college with a BA in CyberSecurity at the end of 2019 and did not obtain a job that kept my technical skills relevant during the pandemic (although I did enjoy the jobs I had during this time), and saw an opportunity with Codeup to make a rapid, hard transition back to where my career goals lie. 

    The biggest element to Codeup is that you will get from it what you are willing to invest in yourself du...

    Data Science Program

    Attending Codeup’s Data Science program allowed me to successfully change careers within 6 months.  It is amazing a program was efficient and prepared me with the skills needed to make this transition.  I enjoyed the fact that the program curriculum is taught by instructors instead of online modules.  This forces you to be engaged and also allows you to ask questions.  Also having several instructors allowed me to see different ways to approach the problem.  We completed several projects...

    Life Changing Experience

    Codeup was an incredible experience from the first call to the offer letter from my employer. 

    You start by speaking with admissions and completing pre-work to make sure software development is something you want to truly do. The pre-work is challenging but rewarding, it helps you get introduced into code.

    During the prework process you also speak with admissions about financing and as well as possible financial aid. Starting a new career and paying to attend a bootcamp can...
