    Warning. Horrible. Overpriced

    These guys are the most disorganised bunch of misfits i have ever delt with.

    I could not be more unimpressed with this chop shop.

    They profess the "best instructors in the industry"

    Every instructor this was their first course teaching.

    Promises, promises, promises.

    The material is nothing more that what can be obtained online for free!

    They try to give the big sales pitch but they just want your money.

    Hands-On Experience

    I have acquired a new way of thinking about solving problems through technology from the part-time coding courses I attended in Coder Factory. They teach through a lot of actual coding practice. The more you practice the better.

    Great Ruby on Rails Course!

    Thoroughly enjoyed being apart of the 12 week Ruby on rails course at Coder Factory and learnt a lot helping me launch my first few websites. Great for those just getting started in coding!

    Hands down, the best way to learn.

    I'm currently attending the Part-Time Web App Developer Course and it is by far the best web development course I have experienced, mainly for these reasons:

    - Students are given after-hours support via Slack

    - The latest web development technologies are taught with best practices (already teaching Rails 5!)

    - Unlike most bootcamps, the teachers go into the necessary Comp Sci theory to produce better developers.

    - I've also seen other students who ha...

    CoderFactory Academy 6-month bootcamp

    The CoderFactory Academy 6-month bootcamp is an intensive and thorough introduction to full-stack web development. I was part of the first cohort and recently graduated. I found the experience to be both thoroughly enjoyable and rewarding. I have also found work as a junior developer on graduating.

    The course covers an array of skills that will give you the knowledge and tools you need to become employable as a full-stack web developer, or begin working on your own startup ideas....

    They are the much needed pinch of salt

    These guys have the right hint, they're accredited, they are the right time frame as well, 6 months, to let the mind to not only accept but also grow on the skills one would have learnt. They kept everyone engaged by introducing them to relevant and influential leaders in the industry (much needed) all whilst practicing technology that is not easy but technology that is relevant.

    I found the lecturers well praticed and organised, they know what theyre doing in the competitive env...

    Above and beyond

    The last 6 months that I have spent doing the fast track course for software/web development has been the most productive period of my educational experience. Coder Factory Academy supplied me with a unique learning experience that has ensured the development of my skills. The tutors who made this happen quickly built a friendship with everyone in the class making the overall course fun and each day something to look forward to. Upon finishing my last semester of classes, I realised I had ...

    Code is life.

    The staff here are an amazing bunch of people! Each and every one of them take the time to go through any problems you may run into, even when it's just a missed comma or typo.

    The most important part of the course is the industry connections you get from all the guest mentors that come in. They make sure to tailor the talks to what you're learning so it stays relevant but also gives you industry perspective.

    Be sure to come in with an open mind and the aptitude of a ke...

    Life Changing

    Without any doubt my decision to do the Fast Track course was the best decision of my life. 
     Learning to code is an empowering, and in my case, life changing experience. The environment created by the staff and teachers is friendly, relaxed, and extremely collaborative. The exposure to industry leaders via weekly talks is invaluable, and the internship at the end of the...

    enjoyable experience, friendly classmates and teachers who were willing to help you as you go along. There will be industry guest mentors coming in to talk to you about life as a coder and how you can get your foot on the door. Flexibility in the major project work where you can create anything you want using the required tech stacks. If you're looking to learn how to code, this is a great place to start. They also throw you into an internship in last semester where you can see how a compa...

    Coder Factory Academy - 6 month fast-track bootcamp

    The 6 month Coder Factory Academy fast-track course is a great experience from start to finish. The course content is modern and relevant. Throughout the course we were introduced to many technologies, frameworks and tools, all of which I have since used and relied on as a working professional web developer.

    The teachers and supporting staff are extremely knowledgeable and are only too happy to answer questions and explain concepts in detail. They encourag...

    Fast Track Developer Bootcamp

    I got exactly what I wanted out of this course and more. I started off knowing very little code and had failed many times at trying to learn programming basics.

    After starting the course we dove into Computer Science concepts which, looking back on now, I'm really thankful for. We then got onto HTML and CSS, and finished our first portfolio website. 

    After Learning front-end design we then mixed in Ruby on Rails which gave us a clearer understanding of the web and how i...

How do you get a job after coding bootcamp if you have no relevant, real-world work experience? Only 1.4% of bootcampers have worked as developers in the past, but most career-changers have little if any client experience when they start looking for a developer job. Some bootcamps help students overcome this hurdle by offering opportunities to work for the bootcamp itself, or with real clients through projects, internships, and apprenticeships. These opportunities can ...
