    Full-Stack Web developer

    Everyone was so helpful including instructors and TA's. Also, they have a career manager that gives advice to help land a job. I would recommend Coding Dojo to anyone wanting to learn web developing.

    Best Bootcamp by far

    This is by far the best Bootcamp ever. If you ate willing to put in the long hours, and type til your fingers fall off, lol, then you can do this. If you have problem solving skills and don’t know how to use them, get a 500 error in Java and get back to me. If you think you already know how to code, that’s ok. They still have a program for you. I can honestly say I put more time per week learning to code and understand what I am writing, than I ever did for any job. And you will feel thi...

    Tough but Amazing Bootcamp!

    I worked account management for nine years and decided I wanted to change careers. I was always interested in software development and decided to join a coding bootcamp. I looked at several bootcamps and ultimately landed on Coding Dojo, due to their curriculum being tailored to your location's market and because their career services team starts with you on day one. And I am so glad I chose them!

    My program started in March 2022 and ended July 1. Throughout the whole process, I m...

    NetSuite Developer

    I was able to change my career and get a job in Tech two months after I graduated! My instructors were knowledgeable, approachable, friendly and that made my experience even better.

    After I graduated two of my friends signed up to Coding Dojo and one of them got a job three months after graduating at one of the top tech companies in the US, second one is close to graduating. 

    Great school overall, would recommend to everyone!!

    Amazing Coding Bootcamp

    I took the Coding Dojo Bootcamp, Did the Python, MERN, JAVA stacks. Even though the bootcamp was all online, I felt I was really learning at a good pace with not much trouble at all. The lectures were perfect, each instructor knew what they were doing and were so helpful when I had questions. I would definitely recommend the Coding Dojo Bootcamp to anyone wanting to start a career as a software developer.

    I loved Coding Dojo!

    If you want to become a software developer I think the value you get from Coding Dojo is well worth it. You aren’t just paying for videos or content to read, they really provide a robust and challenging experience that I will personally never forget. The friends you make in your cohort are essential for completing the program and becoming successful. The instructors and TAs are aligned with your goals and serve as teachers, mentors, and councilors. You get career service support and are ...

    It is an experience of learning

    I think that the methodology of Coding Dojo, in the field of education of programming, is the best. The Bootcamp of the Coding Dojo is a big challenge because learning three stacks( Python, Java and MERN) in fourteen weeks, is a little time, but with the methodology and the support of the instructors, It is the perfect place to learn programming of a form intensive and a short time.Since I began with the Bootcamp, the instructor explained in detail the different tec...

    I was impressed with the process

    I was impressed with the process. I chose coding dogs based upon the consistency of the reviews, negative and positive. First, I would say that except for one instructor I was VERY impressed with the level of instruction, helpfulness, etc. Second the TAs were extremely helpful also and understanding and willing to always assist. This was important for me since I was coming from a completely different field. 

    The things I learned here had given me an extreme confidence to go and fi...

    Perfect Option for Career Change!

    I took the part time online bootcamp and loved it! I did the MERN stack option and learned so much. I enjoyed the class structure and the online learning platform was a fantastic resource. They also run a Discord server that gives you access to teachers and TAs! I would totally recommend this program for new high school grads or people making a career change (like myself leaving the legal field after 10 years)!

    Great bootcamp experience!

    I had a great experience attending Coding Dojo. Classes are well structured and teachers are knowledgeable. I was lucky to make some friends along the way too, and having a good community helps a lot in the journey.

    Some statistics about post-grad job search: graduated in late December, started applying for jobs in February. After sending about 50-70 applications I secured about 10 interviews and on 21st March I started working as a SE for a consulting company.

    Outstanding Bootcamp

    As an alumni of Coding Dojo, I highly recommend this bootcamp for entry-level or junior experience developers. The structure of classes is laid out to fit the needs of individuals with no experience. The instructors and mentors are well knowledged and well versed in different languages. You will have the ability to learn multiple languages instead of one. Coding Dojo's instruction and values are what helped me land my job as a developer. Lessons taught made me successful in research and ...
