Savvy Coders
Savvy Coders is an online coding boot camp offering the following classes: Full Stack Development, Data Analytics + Python, and Cyber Security. Classes are held Monday through Thursday evenings (for Full Stack and Data Analytics) so students won’t have to give up their day job to attend the boot camp. The boot camp is taught by industry software developers, and the class size is kept small to ensure students receive one-on-one interaction with instructors.
In the Full Stack Development bootcamp, students will learn the basics of full-stack development through a comprehensive curriculum that includes the creation of a capstone project that will be presented at the end of the course to companies that are currently hiring coding talent. By the end of the course, students are proficient in HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Basic Markdown, interacting with the DOM, Git, Github, Agile, Firebase, UX/UI, Node/Express, MongoDB, and Heroku. Savvy Coders knows that soft skills and branding are just as important as learning how to code, so from day one, communication skills are fostered and enhanced. Students learn how to put together a comprehensive resume and LinkedIn profile. Elevator pitches and introduction stories are created and practiced, and students become comfortable discussing themselves and their projects.

Elevator pitches and introduction stories are created and practiced, and students become comfortable discussing themselves and their projects.
In the Data Analytics + Python bootcamp, students will begin by knowing just the basics of coding and/or data analysis techniques to become fully qualified for a Data Analyst position. Unit 1 of the program focuses on Python and SQL. It includes a deep dive into Python data types, debugging, turtles, modules, recursion, functions, algorithms, tables and strings among others. Unit 2 takes the Python and SQL knowledge gained in Unit 1 and applies it to large data sets to extract information and explain it in a clear and concise manner. Using Pandas, Numpy, and other data visualization techniques, students will prepare and present a Capstone Project to demonstrate the knowledge gained during the course. In addition, throughout the cohort, students will meet with our placement team to work on a resume and LinkedIn creation and interview techniques, as well as develop other job-seeking skills. Students will be given a voucher to take the Desktop Specialist Tableau Certification Exam and will complete a Python Certification through the University of Michigan.
The Cyber Security bootcamp is taught at an accelerated pace, so that after 24 weeks, students can tackle many of the basics needed to start them on a path towards a career in Cybersecurity. Every class will focus on what one needs to know (and nothing they don’t). Classes are instructor-led in either a small, in-person classroom or virtual classroom.
Applicants must submit an online application and then be interviewed by the admissions team. Scholarships are available. Interested students can attend a free crash course to get hands-on practice coding and to see if Savvy Coders would be a good fit. All students complete prerequisites before the start of the boot camp.
Savvy Coders supports the goal of becoming a coder and provides information and introductions to partner companies both during the boot camp and after. Graduates of the boot camp receive a certificate of completion.

I enrolled in the December cohort in 2015 and immediately regretted spending my $1800. While the introduction did include the disclaimer that "it would be like drinking from a firehose," I did not expect the firehose to be set to full blast at the fastest setting possible.
I went into the course with basic HTML knowledge, but as each lesson progressed without any clear goals and learning reinforcements to see if students were actually understanding the concepts, I got increasingly frustrated.
While the instructors were more than willing to help, the curriculum and its pace itself is flawed, unless you're already at an intermediate level in your HTML and CSS skills.
Lessons that should have taken three hours were squeezed into one without any reviews to see if students were grasping the concepts and then it was on to the next cramming of three hours into one hour.
If you already know HTML and CSS and understand Javascript and jQuery, then this course is a great place to go deeper considering that other schools charge at least five figures.
If you're like me who had little knowledge of HTML, I would look into other schools that are less aggressive in cramming advanced lessons without any learning checks.

The hands-on approach to learning meant that I was able to work on real-world projects, which not only enhanced my understanding but also gave me a portfolio to showcase to potential employers. The collaborative environment fostered by the bootcamp encouraged teamwork and networking, which is invaluable in the tech industry.

Fantastic Teaching Staff!
This boot camp was a great kick start to my career pivot. I would much further behind my peers if it wasn't for this boot camp.

Incredible experience
This is an immersive 12 week boot camp with dedicated instructors and staff guiding you along the way. The curriculum is extensive and comprehensive. I was definitely intimidated at several points, but staff is eager for students to learn and answer questions and tutor if necessary. Job assistance is an exceptionally valuable resource, providing unwavering support in propelling students towards a highly advantageous career trajectory. - Drew HansenGraduate • Front End Web Development • St. LouisVerified by LinkedInJun 09, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

SavvyCoders - Data Analytics Program
My background cannot be further from data analytics as a medic.
In three months, I have developed the basic skills of interpreting, creating, and manipulating code in programs such as VS Code and SQLite. I have learned there is plenty of room for creativity, critical thinking, and skill development which allows for both lateral and horizontal career moves. Very happy with the tools acquired in such as short period of time! - Bri'Anna TolliverGraduate • OnlineVerified by GitHubFeb 01, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I had already done another bootcamp, been rejected from multiple jobs and still didn't feel confident in my skills. Before the first class of Savvy Coders ever started, I was challenged to learn web development basics. And when it started I was challenged to manage my time, think critically, meet deadlines and push myself to do a project that I never thought I could do. The teachers and TA's were amazing, encouraging and helpful. Savvy also provided me with my first ever job mentor- Laurie Wilson- who helped me in every step of the job process. With all the help I had, I overcame every obstacle I faced and graduated with the confidence to get a job. I got my first tech job offer-EVER- today at a company that I didn't know was my dream company and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you to all the people who make Savvy Coders awesome! I also must mention the classmates I met and the amazing connections I made through mock interviews that are the reasons for the job I was offered today. Words can't explain how much I have grown as a person and a professional over these past few months. It was a 3 month sacrifice and I know my life is changed forever. - NateTechnical Support Analyst • Graduate • Front End Web Development • St. LouisVerified by LinkedInAug 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

I went to a 4 year university and majored in business but had no real passion after graduating. I’ve always had interest in tech which lead me to do research on software development, which ultimately lead me to Savvy Coders. It was the best career decision I’ve ever made. I landed a job in tech about halfway through my cohort. The curriculum and staff are amazing and it will instantly make you employable with good pay.

I am a recent graduate of the Full Stack Web Development boot camp. I have nothing but positive things to say!

Great experience. I normally dont write reviews but I was glad to for savvy coders. Going through the boot camp was not easy but it is so rewarding in the end.

This is the one!
I loved every bit of my journey with Savvy coders. From the personal touch with Dez, to me scrambling and reaching out to teacher assistants after I accidentally deleted my project to Laurie giving her personal touch to our resumes and still keeping in touch after graduation. Not one question I had was left unanswered. If you’re looking for smaller class sizes and a bunch of great ppl that want nothing more than to see you succeed then this is the program for you!!💜
