    A Life Changing Opportunity

    We Can {Code} IT has been a life changing opportunity for me. Having worked in one field for almost a decade, I never dreamed of working in software engineering. When I decided it was time for a career change, I found out about We Can {Code} IT. I met with one of the co-founders and was thrilled at the opportunity that the program would provide.

    I am currently enrolled in the program, and it is exceeding all of my expectations. The staff are knowledgable and kind. I feel valued a...

    We Can Code IT Bootcamp Success!

    I am a graduate of We Can Code IT and I can tell you that it changed my life. I have a Masters in Engineering, but was not passionate about the jobs I had. I took this bootcamp in the hope that I could find something that I enjoyed doing and that is exactly what happened. Not only did I learn a great deal, but the class was very engaging. However, it was also fast paced and rigorous. I graduated and now I am using my new skills in a job that I love!

    All Around Good Experience

    We Can Code IT offered me a great oppurtunity to feel more empowered in the work that I was doing. I came in as a teacher and mostly planned on learning code to teach students, but relized that I wanted to commit to a career change to tech and am happy with my decision. I liked that I got to learn coding in the part-time cohort, meet other like-minded people, and learn to use code to support causes I already cared about, like education and social justice. Through the program I not only rec...

    We Can Code IT

    I have heard so many great things about We Can Code IT that made me want to join the bootcamp. Although I am a new student and haven't yet graduated, I know I made the right decision to attend. The class is challenging, but I feel well prepared for each new challenge I am presented with. The main reason why I chose to take the bootcamp was that I have been interest in learning coding for a while, but was not able to motivate myself to learn so much on my own. Having experienced the bootcam...

    My Experience at We Can Code IT

    We Can Code IT made attending a coding Bootcamp very easy. At the beginning me and my family were hesitant about my enrollment but We Can Code IT made the enrollment process a breeze. We Can Code IT also offers amazing tuition payment plans including a Pilot program that allows me to start paying once I get a job. The Pilot program was the only way I was able to afford enrollment. We Can Code IT's instructors are very helpful and engaging in the learning process. They ar...

    Full Time Bootcamp

    Attending WCCI was one  of the best  decisions I ever made.   The instructors go out of their way to remind you that this is something you're capable of on the daily, even if you feel like you're barely hanging on.  They genuinely care about the work they do and the people they reach out to, and they've provided many of  us with ways out of a career (and therefore, lifestyle) that we were no longer happy with.

    Student

    I am a graduate of We Can Code IT bootcamp. I attended the 12-week fall 2015 full-time boot camp. The class met Monday through Friday from 9am-3pm. I came into the class having attended a couple college intro to Java classes a few years prior. I never really grasped the concepts until this bootcamp.The one college instructor I had couldn't speak English well and most of the class dropped including myself. The other instructor looked down on the class and was not hel...

    Best decision of my life

     I had nothing but great experiences at We Can Code It. Everyone on staff was always more than happy to help and very friendly. I felt comfortable talking to anyone. Seeing how well anyone on staff dealt with difficult people and situations shows a lot. The curriculum was excellent. I feel that i have learned everything necessary to prepare me for a career as a software developer and then some!

    We Can Code it

    Learned a lot in a very short period of time. The instructors are great and are very helpful. You are encouraged to become a Lifelong Learner in that they will not spoon feed you information the entire time, there comes a time were they start requiring you to find the answers to your own questions and that is great because it makes you self reliant. I reccommend this course to anyone that thinks they can keep up!

    Glad I chose We Can Code IT

    I just completed We Can Code IT's full time 12 week program. I found it challenging, but I'm quite a bit older than most of the other students. I'm changing careers and I'm hopeful that my We Can Code IT Certificate of Software Engineering can help me get a fulfilling job in tech. I've already talked to a lot of employers and recruiters and I have my first interview scheduled for later this morning. 

    I enjoyed working with Shana during the application pro...

    Not Worth The Money

    Very weak and rushed workshop. Main instructor doesn't really care to see if students are really getting the concept or not. You are basically expected to teach yourself outside of the class.  As far as job placement rate goes, WCCI does little to help put you in front of employers (and the majority of that help happens at the very last day of the bootcamp). Most, if not all, of your job opportunities will come from applying to jobs online on your own and networking on your ow...

    Steer clear

    This bootcamp is a joke and is a waste of time and money. The teachers don't know how to code, don't like to code, and are rude. The assistant teacher just graduated from the bootcamp and is clueless. Learn from my mistake.
