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_>.

I went in with the sole expectation of getting a better job once the bootcamp was finished and it completely turned my perspective around. They have a very inclusive culture and wonderful teachers that show a real passion for coding which in turn also gives you a passion for coding and learning.

You are always encouraged to ask questions and the teachers always want to make sure that you have understood the core concepts of the class before moving on. The curriculum is extensive for 14 weeks and gives you a good insight on the more conceptual aspects of programming besides just teaching you how to code. The job support is fantastic and continues well past the bootcamp term date. Highly recommend it if you want/need a complete life change!- AnonymousStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 27, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great experience. Amazing!
It was an incredibly enriching experience, both academically and personally.
The Academia de Código not only focuses on theoretical content, but also on soft skills. It makes all the difference on the job market. - AnonymousStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging but rewarding
A lot of knowledge is acquired in 14 week's, the teaching method used is nothing like we are use to, at least for me, and i think should be applied in schools n general as it allows everyone to adapt and see things from a more real perspective.
A very helpful team supporting on the lookout for new jobs and moving into a new work field. - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
A fresh start
these have been the most difficult 14 weeks I've had so far, but as well as being difficult they've also been fun.
It was a very good environment where I learnt a lot and where I was lucky enough to be with very good colleagues and teachers.
All in all, it was a very good experience and if I could go back and do it again, I would.x - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing 14 weeks, different learning experience and lots of energy.
Amazing and completely learning experience.
I did programming courses in the past ,including college level, and was completely amazed how superior the learning experience was, maybe even more important than the amazing syllabus was the fact that you are treated like a person and not a simple number on. a sheet. - AnonymousStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
The Best
My experience during this 14 weeks was amazing!!! What i thought this would be, and how transforming this could be... Way better than i could image!
You have no idea how can you learn in just 14 weeks, i had 0 experience with programming, and now i feel i know way more things i expected to know after the 14 weeks.
If you are thinking about what school should you go.
You know what to choose! AC all the way! - AnonymousStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 25, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
An unique learning experience
This bootcamp has a well thought system in which you'll have several different tools in your disposal in order for you to be able to learn better, from very comfortable classrooms, good computers, great teachers, exceptional company culture with a free spirit, the space and classes allow you to freely express yourself like you never thought you were going to be able to do and the space also allows you to relax in order to be able to endure the tough 14th weeks of intense learning! - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoAug 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Immersive, confuse, incomplete
It was an immersive 14-week course, but with many points in its favour, but just as many points against. We began by immersing ourselves in the various fields of fullstack developer, but without ever being able to get a foothold so that we could grow, because the time given to us for this is too little, with theory, yes, but a lot of which we don't even take advantage of, which we could use to delve into other fields, which we would probably get more out of.

We began by immersing ourselves in the various fields of fullstack developer, but without ever being able to get a foothold so that we could grow, because the time given to us for this is too little, with theory, yes, but a lot of which we don't even take advantage of, which we could use to delve into other fields, which we would probably get more out of. The slides we're given are confusing, unintuitive and sometimes more confusing than helpful. When it comes to the exercises, most of the time they don't help at all, so you spend more time researching how to do the exercise than actually doing it. We could have had more support from the teachers, especially for those students who had more difficulty, but often we only had a maximum of two teachers for 24 students, most of whom needed help. The feeling remains that there was more to do, more could have been done and more could have been achieved. Perhaps we need to rethink the way things are taught and definitely rethink the slides, urgently.
As for the rooms, the uncomfortable chairs, for the amount of hours spent in front of a computer, especially for the amount we are asked to pay, I think some ergonomic comfort should be given.

learning, intensity and knowledge
A lot of knowledge is acquired and the teaching method is fantastic and should be applied in schools as it allows everyone to adapt and see things from a more real perspective, through many examples. Lots of support in terms of looking for a new job and moving into a new field of work. - AnonymousJunior Full Stack Developer • Student • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoAug 20, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best 14 weeks of my life
I absolutely loved my 14 weeks at Academia de Código! The experience was truly transformative. I learned so much about programming, thanks to their incredible staff. The supportive environment and hands-on approach made all the difference. Can't thank them enough for equipping me with valuable skills that will undoubtedly shape my future in tech. - AnonymousGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoAug 19, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Amazing
The team that welcomed us was amazing. The atmosphere they create is super comfy and the students there with me completed the experience. I learned a lot and I'm ready for the next chapter! - AnonymousJunior Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonAug 18, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best learning experience as an adult so far
If you love learning and challenging yourself in a safe and inclusive environment, this is the place.
What a great experience!
Note that the bootcamp covers fullstack web development but is heavily geared towards backend and java, which suited my preferences but may not be ideal for someone looking for more front end learning.
