Code for All_
Founded in Portugal in 2015, Code for All_ is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. Code for All_ describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.
Code for All_'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.
At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the Code for All_ website.
Code for All_ was formerly known as <Academia de Código_>.

All the experience was incredible!
I'm from an utterly different area and so many times I thought I would fail, but every instructor always had a friend word to cheer me up.
I assume that it was really difficult. I'd never been in a bootcamp before and I had no idea about how intense it is, but I did it!
Now I am employed and discovered that my empoyeer admitted a lot of graduated students from Academia de Código - what proves the excellence.

Life changing
Started with zero experience, got out as a real programmer. More than learning code languages or stack, Academia de Código teaches you to think like a programmer. Definitely a life changing experience.
Been working as a programmer for the last 5 years, grew from an intern developer to a tech lead. - Miguel FerreiraSenior Tech Consultant • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonNov 09, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A lifeboat for your professional life
Definitely the best decision I made at a professional level. When you think that you no longer have options, you don't have professional stability, you don't know where to turn, <Academia de Código_> arrives like a lifeboat and gives you the opportunity you really need!
It takes effort, no doubt, but you leave there more than prepared for the job market.
It took me a week to find work in one of the big four consulting firms and there is no money to pay this... - Ricardo AraújoWeb Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 05, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Believe: They know what to do
If you want to see the world in a special eyes, like a matrix dominator, and be a kind of superhero at the same time, this bootcamp is definitely for you.
An Amazing team with a "impossible project" in its hands: transform normal people into great coders. And that's what they do like no one else.
Try it. You will be surprised. - MireiaGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoJun 16, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Totally worth it
They don’t only teach you how to code but also how to solve problems and how to think towards programming, since programming is not only writting some lines of code, but also know how the language works, how everything should be structured, why was the language created, you will learned all that and more. All the tools around that programming language that you’ll need to properly develop.
I’m not going to lie, it’s 3 month and a half of non stop, it’s tiring and exhausting, but i...They don’t only teach you how to code but also how to solve problems and how to think towards programming, since programming is not only writting some lines of code, but also know how the language works, how everything should be structured, why was the language created, you will learned all that and more.

I’m not going to lie, it’s 3 month and a half of non stop, it’s tiring and exhausting, but it’s totally worth it. Also they help you after in the job hunting which is really helpful.

Great Experience
This bootcamp has been an amazing experience, from the start while applying we could see the support from the team if you had any trouble throughout the process!
The workshop is amazing, the process is very thorough selecting the best people in both soft skills and learning capability.

Best Computer Programming School
Before starting my journey in <Academia de Código_> I didn't know how to write a line of code.
After 14 weeks and a great experience - I am now a full stack developer. - David BorgesGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonApr 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Once in a lifetime experience!
With <A/C_> the impossible becomes possible. You will be challenged everyday and discover that your limits are way further than you thought! And please don't think that this is just a programming bootcamp..Here you will grow as a developer and as social person. With <A/C_> we not only learn to be software developers but also learn how to work as team and to pump up our social skills with a lot of presentations and challenges that will make you "get out of the closet". - André GonçalvesGraduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonApr 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Incredible Bootcamp and a Rollercoaster of amazing experiences!

After joining the Bootcamp and becoming a software developer has been a new adventure and I'm loving it! I really needed a new challenge. Looking back it's incredible to see the changes that my life took. I couldn't imagine that I would be doing games with graphical interface in Java, after just four weeks of coding.
The environment is incredible, full of energy and it feels like home, love my A/C fam!
I can only recommend it!!! - David FerreiraSystem Analyst at Itim • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive && Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoOct 04, 2019Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing bootcamp
The <Academia de Código_> bootcamp was an experience that prepared me not only to write code, but also to be a high-performance, best-practice professional who can adapt to any challenge.

Most Challenging event of my life
As a human with no prior background in programming, I found this to be the most challenging event of my life. I really believed it would be somehow easy since I did fairly well at university, but boy, I learned to not overestimate myself.
We learned a lot, and I mean a lot of great tools and went through many topics. Intensive and Imersive are really the words for it. Can't say that you will have the time to understand all of it, but the basics you will always stick with, and lat...

We learned a lot, and I mean a lot of great tools and went through many topics. Intensive and Imersive are really the words for it. Can't say that you will have the time to understand all of it, but the basics you will always stick with, and later on it will be helpful. Besides, you're going to meet people exactly on the same boat as you, and those feelings will make your class to really look like a family!

Throughout the bootcamp we are oriented on how we should look for a job and in fact i was surprised with the number of contacts received from companies when bootcamp ended.
All of this is provided due to the effort and dedication of all the incredible staff of the <Academia de Código_> that provide a wonderfull enviroment to the students in particular the teachers who make a perfect management of student's different learning rhythms.
An experience that I totally recommend to those who want to change their professional career.
