I initially started because I wanted to learn how to create websites from scratch and throughout that process I learned I had a love for all things data. Through Bay Valleys networking events and them helping me create a LinkedIn I was able to connect with others in the data science field and get insight on the job market for my chosen career path. The online technical skills as well as the in person communication skills I have learned in from Bay Valley have been invaluable so the fact that it is free to join with an optional paid internship position is just amazing. I highly suggest Bay Valley Tech to everyone and anyone who wants to get into tech but aren't quite sure of what path to take. Its free and flexible so long as you are open an honest. The barrier for entry is low but the pay off is ridiculously high!

It's a great place to get technical training!
My decision to join Bay Valley Tech in June 2023 has proven to be a game-changer for my programming skills. The coursework and internship will significantly improve the skills of individuals with a computer science background (like me). While the training is free, it does demand your time, effort, and determination to grasp the material. However, the value it adds to your skill set and career prospects makes it a worthwhile investment.

Best choice I've made right after college.
Starting a tech job search during or after college with insufficient industry experience can feel intimidating and make one feel stuck without much to show to companies, since businesses prefer people who already have experience in the field. That is exactly the problem I faced after graduating, even though I was a computer science graduate with years of coding experience. Luckily young developers can highly benefit from Bay Valley Tech's digital skills boot camp and internship programs....Starting a tech job search during or after college with insufficient industry experience can feel intimidating and make one feel stuck without much to show to companies, since businesses prefer people who already have experience in the field. That is exactly the problem I faced after graduating, even though I was a computer science graduate with years of coding experience. Luckily young developers can highly benefit from Bay Valley Tech's digital skills boot camp and internship programs. BVT offers comprehensive coding training in latest and trending technologies that will make new developers hirable and provide them with skills they will likely need for the rest of their IT career. BVT gives students opportunity to work on some significant software projects which will enrich their coding portfolios and bring them one step closer to getting IT jobs.

I'm glad to have enrolled in this internship and strongly believe projects I worked on with BVT and the skills I learned here will be really helpful for me in my tech career. - Joel SwehlaStudent • Code Academy • OnlineFeb 07, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Great Opportunity in the Central Valley
I attended part of the Bay Valley Tech Code Academy and found it to be a wonderful opportunity. The instructors are fantastic and the other students friendly and willing to help. While life caused me to have to put my studies on hold, I do hope to one day return and complete the course. Considering it is offered online with no cost, it is a great opportunity for those of us living the Central Valley, just over the hill from the Silicon Valley.

I enhanced my skills in photoshop, HTML, CSS, and much more certifications. It’s also a great opportunity for anyone to do part time remotely which gave me a balance between my current job and learning new skills. After almost 5 months, I completed the Digital Skills program and landed a paid internship which allowed me to gain more real hands on projects to work with in teams or individually! I’ve had a great experience with Bay Valley Tech and I highly recommend and encourage anyone to take advantage of signing up to further their career or to get a foot in the door! - Aaron VelascoWeb Development Intern • Student • Code Academy • OnlineJul 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Beginner-Friendly Bootcamp
I completed Bay Valley Tech's Digital Design Bootcamp which was a great experience, especially since I had zero prior design knowledge. The program covered a wide range of topics at a beginner to intermediate level, great for introducing students to the field of design and setting up for entry-level job positions. It covered UI/UX, graphic design, website design, HTML/CSS, and email marketing throughout the 6 months.

It covered UI/UX, graphic design, website design, HTML/CSS, and email marketing throughout the 6 months. The coursework itself was not too difficult but can be time-consuming if you procrastinate too often. The most notable thing about the program besides it being free is how friendly the staff and other students are, making the learning experience more enjoyable. - AnonymousStudent • Code Academy • OnlineJun 17, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Good Resource To Learn
Bay Valley Tech (BVT) is a good program if you want a more structured way of learning and a good place to start. It is free compared to other bootcamps but don't let it deter you away as they provide good resources and staff are helpful. I can only speak on behalf of the Code Academy. There are about 4 "modules" which is basically 4 different classes needed to complete the Code Academy, with each class lasting about 2-3 months.

It is free compared to other bootcamps but don't let it deter you away as they provide good resources and staff are helpful. I can only speak on behalf of the Code Academy. There are about 4 "modules" which is basically 4 different classes needed to complete the Code Academy, with each class lasting about 2-3 months. The staff and instructors are very helpful and nice but due to their gaining popularity there is usually an overabundance of student to instructor ratio so communication could take a little longer than expected. The curriculum is good but ultimately should be supplemented with other projects and learning materials outside of BVT coursework. As I have said, BVT is a good start to learning or honing your coding skills and want a more structured way to do so. BVT is more of a gateway and stepping stone to becoming a good software developer. They are located in the Modesto California, so their job assistance and their internship will mainly only be there and for the surrounding area. Overall I would recommend BVT for anyone hesitating to join. - AnonymousStudent • Code Academy • OnlineJun 17, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
