Uplift Code Camp

The bootcamp's curriculum covered front-end and back-end technologies providing a solid foundation for web development. The instructors were very helpful and knowledgeable in teaching the technologies such as HTML, CSS, JS, and the MERN Stack. Hands-on projects allowed us to apply what we learned and build a robust portfolio of web applications. The collaborative learning environment fostered teamwork and peer learning. The bootcamp also provided excellent career support, offering guidance on resumes, interviews, and networking opportunities. Overall, the bootcamp was really worth it. 

Learning how to code is hard, especially without having any CS background. What I love about the Uplift community is their ability to proactively offer unwavering support to their students throughout their programming journey. They don’t shy away from receiving constructive feedback and even highly encourage it to be able to course correct and constantly improve for the growth and betterment of the community.
My experience with Uplift was far from smooth sailing. It’s one thing to learn how to code with zero tech background, it’s an entirely different thing when joining a coding camp while also juggling two jobs. I’ve experienced the lowest of lows while taking the program but somehow still came out victorious…exhausted but still victorious. The team behind Uplift were flexible and helpful enough to assist me when I was faced with a conundrum that made me temporarily drop out of the program. That’s when you know they really value their students.
When I first joined the program, I was greeted with enthusiasm. When I graduated, I was greeted with the same enthusiasm. It’s hard not to be excited for yourself too. If not THE best, Uplift is one of the best schools to take courses and programs in web development to kickstart your career in tech.

After considering all the bootcamps in the Philippines in Q1 of 2021, what made me choose Uplift is what seemed to be their devotion to helping people learn how to code — and, well, 'uplifting' people through tech. Their 'why' of doing things stood out to me. It wasn't all about business and profit. Midway through the program, my hunch was proven correct.  I barely knew anything about web development when I started (there's plenty to learn after only more than a year in tech!) and I didn't come from a science background, but I graduated (maybe overly) confident that I can do whatever app I want to make because of the exercises and projects we created.  We were taught the basics. HTML, CSS, JS, React, Node. Also how to use other frameworks and a few helpful packages... These are things one can find online but to pivot to be a web developer or be in tech, in general, a supportive community is needed. So besides teaching the technical stuff, Uplift provided a safe and welcoming online space to actually allow learning.  Going through this program wasn't easy. It was still intense! But learning was made fun and not like pulling teeth. I think it's easy to teach, but harder to foster spaces like the one they provide.  We had seminars in design thinking, taking care of one's mental health, time management, writing a resume and representing yourself online via platforms and creating a portfolio, etc. We also had mock HR and technical interviews, which are always grueling, but we were guided and given feedback on how to improve ourselves.  Uplift is really a community with the student/learner's interest in mind. I finished the program thinking I am/can be a 'good' developer and not just in the technical sense, but also in how tech is ultimately for people and to be a developer one has to always keep that in mind. 

Also, the people behind this coding camp are respectful, competent, well-rounded individuals, so dealing with them is always a pleasure!

Uplift Code Camp is one of the best bootcamps in the Philippines! This bootcamp is beginner friendly, so it is perfect for career shifters and/or to those people who wants to learn coding but has no coding background. The part-time program lasts for about 6 months and these months are jam-packed with lectures, assignments, projects, and fun events too! What I also like about Uplift is its community! You don't have to worry about solving everything on your own because a lot of people in the community are more than willing to help. Also, by the end of the program, Uplift makes sure that you are job-ready. They make sure that you can ace job-hunting by making sure you have a good portfolio, and by conducting mock interviews. Overall, my experience with Uplift is really great and I am beyond grateful for all the learnings (in code and life lessons!), and also for the friends I've made in this community. I hope that the fire and passion to equip and bridge the gap continue to grow bigger. I definitely recommend this coding bootcamp!

They'll guide you to become a full stack web developer, which is extremely helpful and convenient if you do not know where to start and how to become one because of information overload in the internet. There's a lot of coding exercises, and you'll get your feet wet right from the start. They will also help you in other important aspects like preparing your CV, portfolio, job interviews, and connecting you to their industry partners. I'd probably not have been able to quickly switch careers if it had not been for the bootcamp. 

The program is really beginner friendly for anyone who wants to really learn coding even if you have zero background in the industry. Good thing about this camp is that everyone can enroll and they even offer flexible payment terms. Instructors and founders are hands-on and will certainly entertain any questions even if you felt like its a stupid question, and for a beginner like me it really helped me a lot. They always encourage you ask questions and when you're stuck they will offer their free time to teach the students beyond class hours because that's how passionate they are! They also provide seminars and trainings not only related to the program but also for personal growth that will help the students prepare their careers in tech. They help us prepare for our job search by doing technical mock interviews and gave assessments for improvements. I enjoyed my time here, I learned a lot here and I highly recommend enrolling in this camp to anyone from different walks of life.

I did some research online and send out my inquiries to schools offering web development bootcamp and I'm glad on how Uplift Code Camp made a quick response on my application. I was among the first-batch of students and everyone in the bootcamp are friendly and helpful.  The instructor and school founders are very passionate on teaching and sharing their knowledge with us.  They have shown their dedication by coaching us in every way possible. It was an intense 4 months of learning the concept and application. It was a very enriching and rewarding experience for me as I got to develop my own websites in the shortest possible time, considering my non-technical background.  Aside from learning different programming languages, the school has also provided free "personal growth" trainings, which are align to prepare students like me who are pursuing a career in tech. I am also grateful with the Uplift team as they offered me the opportunity to refresh the school's website. Thank you!

I had a great experience attending the bootcamp. We've been taught how to solve programming problems in various approach. The activities are well thought out, and delivered in a manner that will make the students understand a particular concept in programming. At first, I got worried when I learned about the bootcamp being held online due to the pandemic, but it turns out to be just fine. The instructor was able to anticipate the problems on online learning, such as coding along with limited screen size, and was able to do necessary adjustments. Our last week in the bootcamp was spent on training us how to land a job in the tech industry. We did mock interviews and was given feedback on what went well and how can we further improve our answers. I really enjoyed the bootcamp and will definitely recommend Uplift Code Camp to anyone I know who are planning to take the path of programming. 

The Bootcamp started on May.  It was at the beginning at the corona crises, and the school had to prepare the whole program to be offered remotely, so mine was the first remote class. I was really impressed by the quality of it, since they had to put it together basically within a few weeks. The staff was always great, I really loved the teacher, and founders were always there to support us. I started to code by myself but didn't work so I enrolled here. Throughout the bootcamp, I've built a JS game, a fully responsive website, and an few Fullstack apps using the MERN stack. It was a really great experience and a big step changing careers for me. I also learned a lot throughout during the evaluation and feedback/ mock interviews. The only negative side, from my point of view, was the remote session. Since we couldn't meet in person. Other than that, Uplift really prepared us, and brought relevant knowledge when it comes to preparing ourselves for the interviews , and how to apply for jobs, how to make our CVS interesting for recruiters, and so forth .
All in all, it was a great experience and I'm super happy I did it at Uplift Codecamp. I'm really satisfied and I will definitely recommend it to anyone that ask me how was it. 

 I joined Uplift Code Camp and quickly upskilled in MERN stack development, discovering a passion for UI/UX design along the way. As a career shifter, the bootcamp truly gave me a solid foundation in web development and design—far beyond what I ever received in college, particularly when it came to understanding the fundamentals. The step-by-step guidance, especially for someone like me who was transitioning careers, was invaluable. While I still have moments of self-doubt, Uplift’s supportive environment and hands-on teaching methods equipped me with the core skills I needed to confidently start my tech journey. I’d easily give it a 10 out of 10 for the way it’s shaped my career path.
