Skillcrush is a woman-owned, independent, online coding & design school founded in 2012. Skillcrush offers both free and paid programs, including the self-paced Break Into Tech + Job Guarantee program, which prepares students for entry-level positions in front end development and design. Skillcrush is on a mission to empower career changers — with a special focus on women and BIPOC — with the technical skills they need to transition into higher-earning, more fulfilling and flexible careers in tech.

Students who enroll in the Break Into Tech program will have access to both the Front End Developer and Designer career tracks. The curriculum covers HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Git, Github, visual design fundamentals, and more. Once students complete the technical skill building portion of the Break Into Tech (about 16-20 weeks), they receive 180 days of hands-on job search support including 1-on-1 and group coaching, and the opportunity to interview with Skillcrush employer partners.

Skillcrush is an open enrollment school, so no application is necessary. Skillcrush has trained over 20,000 students, and has an over 90% success rate of placing students in qualified jobs with an average time to get hired of 8-10 weeks.

Skillcrush offers tuition assistance for people who are unemployed, full-time students, and current or former military service members. Skillcrush encourages students to email hello@skillcrush.com to discuss payment options.

    Awesome Experience!!

    Learning new skills can be challenging, especially skills in an area you know nothing about. The team over at Skillcrush puts students' minds at ease and encourages them to take the first step! Transitioning into tech, for some folks can be an intimidating endeavor. However, at Skillcrush, I've been able to progress through the course work in a strategic and self-paced manner. This was made possible through the support and encouragement that I receive from the Skillcrush staff and commun...

    Difficult, but so worth it!

    The classes are challenging in more ways than one, as it is not just the new language you learn, but it is also about time management, vision and creativity. When I feel lost in technical terms, Adda's jokes gives learning a funny spin that relaxes you and helps taking the pressure off. The resources are abundant, lots of other websites with further explanations and practice as well as the Slack community that is very supportive. There are one-on-one sessions with a mentor after every cl...

    Supportive and Encouraging Start!

    I am truly enjoying my time as a student in the front end development Skillcrush course. The mentors are so encouraging, I love the webinars, and the opportunities to engage with the community are wonderful. I can hardly believe what I’m able to do in just a few months time and look forward to growing more in both confidence and ability!

    Skillcrush Front-end Web Development Track

    I am part way through my Front-end Web Development training and find it, while thorough and challenging, has safety nets to guide you through so you do not get stuck unable to progress. I recommend this program for anyone serious about beginning a career in tech with no previous experience.

    Great starting foundation!

    Skillcrush absolutely helped me gain the foundational skills of front-end web technologies at a very introductory level. Often times, these technologies can come across as confusing and/or intimidating. Skillcrush has managed to keep the material simple to understand as far as learning the basic core concepts of front-end web. The lessons & projects are not only a great help, but also made to feel very lively and fun instead of dull and dry! The calls in between lessons to meet and c...

    Great Experience

    I completed the User Experience course recently via Skillcrush. I was drawn to skillcrush due to their compassionate approach and eagerness to help you succeed. The course layout is organized and easy to navigate. The course materials are thorough and understandable. The course could have had more hands on practice, but overall, I feel confident in the skills I learned. I am highly satisfied with my experience and will return for the Visual Design course. Happy Learning!

    Skillcrush is Awesome!

    I’ve learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Much of Skillcrush is hands on, with projects of HTML and CSS for you to get started with in the first few weeks of classes.  The teachers are very quick to respond to emails- but be ready to put your self reliance to the test. After all- if you want confidence enough in your coding skills to impress the interviewer at your next job interview, you need to be able to do the job description and then some!

    SkillCrush Review

    AMAZING course. Great content and curriculum that is perfectly paced. Responsive teachers who are super helpful. And I've met graduates who have gone on to have incredibly successful careers after starting with Skillcrush. Great place to learn how to do tech even if you have absolutely no background in it. All you need is curiosity and a willingness to learn.

    HTML/CSS 101

    In this course we learned the basics of creating a one page website.  We had 22 lessons, each with 4-10 steps per lesson, so it was a great way to approach this new skill.  Each lesson was bite-sized, and well explained.  I had never coded anything in my life, and at the end of the course I was not only able to follow the instructions, but then created my own one-page site based on the skills I learned.  Plus the instructors are amazing!  They really cheer you on as you work through the ...

    Break into Tech

    I started the Break into Tech course in 2019, but was sidetracked by Covid and have now returned. Even with the few skills, I learned back then, I felt confident to begin making a much-needed career change. I was lucky enough to have signed up then. The course is a lifetime membership. Even though I signed up in 2019, with the lifetime membership I have been able to take part in any updates in the curriculum that was already part of the original course I purchased. There are tones of sup...

    Affordable, Personable, and Applicable!

    I started with Skillcrush's User Experience Design blueprint, then added on the Visual Design blueprint then ultimately invested in the Break Into Tech package. I found that the skills all built on top of one another to give me the skills and confidence I needed to apply to jobs. I came in at the perfect time to take advantage of the job guarantee which gave me personalized career coaching! 

    Would definitely recommend to anyone wanting an affordable but highly effective program th...

    Great, guided intro to tech mastery!

    I love Skillcrush. I had an interest in tech careers for years, but it wasn't until I took their quiz about how I might fit into the tech field that I actually took the leap. What I love about Skillcrush personally is that everything is so clearly laid out and organized. I think people have learned to code on their own time for free, but for me, the convenience and knowing that I am getting the right tools and practice is invaluable. I love the platform, I love the practices, I love that...
