Teachers are great, George is a true programmer who helps you understand the code, even if it's the fifth time he has to explain it. Stefano is great, full of energy and always available to help with any doubt or helping you see the light when you have no idea what is wrong with your code!
The school is in a great location, I would say it's one of the only schools not in the 22@ district which is great, since it is very centric and well communicated. It's a small school, which makes it homey with a nice terrace to chill and have lunch. Groups are small and you can get a lot more one on one with the teachers.
Coding is a never ending learning experience, I do feel that I have yet much to learn, but a Bootcamp will definitely get you on the right track and momentum. I feel confident to search for a job and start my career.

The beggining will be hard if you, like me, did not prepare with time with the pre course provided. Once you get going, the professors will be very happy to help. You will need to ask questions and be ready to think once you receive your answer. The answer will probably make you think more. This is good. Direct answers will not prepare you to learn how to think properly.
The material provided is properly written although I feel like a little more in depth information could be added. This is not really a problem because more in depth information is provided during the lectures. The material is mostly a basis for the lecture and not an encyclopedia.
The school is fun and the staff is very helpful. The after course help finding a job seems to be effective. For me it is working fine with several interviews being offered.
I really recommend the school. Just keep in mind that you need to be prepared to actually study hard.

I was in the Jan-Mar 2019 Full-stack JavaScript Bootcamp and coming from a completely different background (I'm a bachelor in Sciences with major in Biomedical Sciences) I have to say that it was hard in the beginning. I had to study a lot, including after classes and during the weekends, but it is totally doable. The projects are interesting, there are a lot of exercises to keep on training and the support that they all gave me made a huge difference!
Now, as a Junior Developer they are helping me with all that I need to find an internship/job.
I'm grateful for the awesome job that George, Antonello and Margarita did and continuing doing. - LucianaGraduate • JavaScript Full-Stack Bootcamp • BarcelonaVerified by GitHubMar 12, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Bootcamp JavaScript Full Stack
I attended the bootcamp from January to March 2019. It was a great experience where I learn from experienced people but I also had fun.

If you are starting the bootcamp you should know that it is a tough course because you learn a lot in such a short time and you have to work hard doing all the projects and exercises but then you will be happy with all you achieve.
Sometimes when we learn new things I was concerned because it was too much information to work with and I felt like I didn't understand the point but then in the practice time I realised that I got all the concepts and I was able to work with it. Also we had a great support from the teachers.
We attended different activities as a group and we were invited to 4YFN and Mobile Congress which was a huge experience.

Very happy with BCS!
I attended Barcelona Code School, Aug - Oct 2018 and was very happy with the experience. I had previous programming and Javascript,HTML,CSS experience, and had been trying to teach myself web development. Because of this I had been slightly concerned that these sections would move too slowly for me. However, with the video lectures to supplement the live lectures, I could go at my own speed.

I attended Barcelona Code School, Aug - Oct 2018 and was very happy with the experience. I had previous programming and Javascript,HTML,CSS experience, and had been trying to teach myself web development. Because of this I had been slightly concerned that these sections would move too slowly for me. However, with the video lectures to supplement the live lectures, I could go at my own speed. I also found that, even though I knew a lot of the material, the 8 hours a day of class was amazing ‘practice, practice, practice’. I felt much more solid afterwards and certainly had some knowledge holes filled in. Having the experienced teachers helped me learn fast. I was new to backend programming and even though there was a lot of material, I felt like I came out at a much more experienced level. There’s still a LOT to know and a lot MORE to learn, but that is the nature of this industry – so get used to it!
I chose Barcelona Code School because they had a focus on REACT and REACT-native. (I live in Barcelona) I wanted to learn these because they are the IN-DEMAND skills right now in Boston (my previous home) – plus I knew they were pretty cool. I had tried to teach myself REACT too, so I had a start, but there’s nothing like having a teacher. The other code camps say they have a one evening special workshop in REACT if people are interested, but how could that be enough? The course is taught all in English and the teachers were very helpful in answering all my questions so that I understood the concepts and techniques.
I had been thinking about code school for many years, but the cost of any code school seemed high. I tried to teach myself, and plodded along, sometimes getting blocked for days on what I knew were stupid problems that could be solved by someone with understanding in 5 seconds. Then this year, I watched some kids graduating from university and realized that they hadn’t tried to ‘teach themselves BIOLOGY’. You could do it, but it would take 100 times longer. Teachers are important! So I finally decided to enroll. I wish I had done code camp 5 years ago. I would have been working all these years making up the tuition cost in a month or 2 (I was in the USA).
Barcelona Code School was perfect for me in that it wasn’t too long and wasn’t too expensive. (AND ladies – there are scholarships and fundraisers for women out there—www.f6s.com/futurefunded).
Plus, I love having access to the videos and class notes, so I can go back and look things up and review. (Which I needed to do to take lots of job application technical tests)
After the course was done, the school sent my name out to recruiters and I got LOTS of calls. I have had many interviews – and have some good possibilities. I am currently in serious talks with 3 excellent companies.
So, I am very happy with my decision to go to BCS.

The best coding bootcamp experience
The bootcamp is very well structured and the teachers are always there to provide you with resources, answer your questions and push you to become better.
It’s a no brainer for anyone looking to become a JavaScript developer or upgrade their coding skills. - Pedro PauloDeveloper • Graduate • JavaScript Full-Stack Bootcamp • BarcelonaOct 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best experience i've ever had
The Barcelona Code School bootcamp is perfect for both beginners and those who want to enhance their skills in web development. Personally, I enrolled in the program to improve my knowledge of JavaScript and it exceeded my expectations. Pawel and George were always helpful and provided assistance whenever I needed it. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants to become a better developer or pursue a career in web development. - SherryGraduate • JavaScript Full-Stack Bootcamp • BarcelonaJun 07, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The course was meticulously planned, creating a well-structured content framework with exercises that solidified my understanding. They went beyond teaching and served as mentors, encouraging exploration and different approaches. Their patience in addressing questions ensured a clear foundational knowledge.
One impressive aspect was their commitment to reviewing and providing feedback on our code, enhancing solutions, and refining programming skills. The small batch size fostered collaboration, establishing meaningful connections with students and instructors. This personalized attention was a key reason I chose this course.
Even after the course, George and Pawel remained in touch, offering guidance on work and projects. Despite health issues during the course, they accommodated my needs, allowing me to progress at my own pace while receiving the same level of instruction.

Recommended place for learning code.
I knew from Barcelona Code School from a friend that did a similar bootcamp. I contacted George and had a talk with him on remote, and also went to see the school before starting the bootcamp. The key points for me were the ratio of teacher/student (2 teachers 3 students in my case), that made me think that we could get a much more personal help (which was completely true) and the competent price.

The key points for me were the ratio of teacher/student (2 teachers 3 students in my case), that made me think that we could get a much more personal help (which was completely true) and the competent price.
I started the bootcamp without any JavaScript background, just by doing the pre-course that the school hands you and some small amount of extra preparation.
The way of learning that we had was doing the theory classes first, and then doing blocks of very well thought exercises for the rest of the day. That worked very well for me, because the exercises were tricky and after getting stuck and asking the teacher you can really understand how it works, and that there are many ways to make something work.
In HTML/CSS block, we also worked in doing our own portfolio.
After the first 5 weeks of classes, when all the stack needed for a full-stack website is covered (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React.js, Express and MongoDB), we started the project block, that consists in thinking about a full-stack website idea and making it into reality. Here is where you learn the most, where you start getting familiar with technologies like React.js and to implement specific functionalities for the website needs.
After 2/3 weeks working on the project and finishing it. We did the React Native block, which consist of 1 day of theory class (it's very similar to React.js, so there is no need for more classes) and then started the mobile app project, that took the rest of the course.
You finish this course with a full-stack website, a full-stack mobile app and some good exercises that could also work for your portfolio if done properly.
When the course is over, you really feel prepared to get into the work market, you know the top demanded technologies and have enough confidence to pass technical tests in job interviews.
Some of us even had some real interviews/tests during the bootcamp, thanks to the connections that the school has with hiring companies.
I also have to say that the course is really intense, and I suggest being well-prepared before starting it, doing as much pre-work as possible.
Overall, it has been a super nice experience for me. I feel that I've learned really good skills for the job market, and I would recommend it to anyone that wants to learn coding. - PawelGraduate • JavaScript Full-Stack Bootcamp • BarcelonaJul 16, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Totally worth it!
If you want to boost your coding skills, gain confidence with code and start thinking as a developer, I strongly recommend you BCS! Bootcamp is very challenging so you need to be prepared- finish all pre-course challenges and lessons that BCS provide to you before starting a course. Before I started the Bootcamp I was very doubtful about myself taking a path as a web developer, but now after graduation, I'm 100% sure that this is what I want to do.

I even started to be invited to recruitment processes for a developer position before finishing it. George - the main teacher is very helpful, but he won't do anything for you, he will show you the way to find and fix your own mistakes so you can understand the code as best as it's possible and create good coding habits.
