    Graduated And Working Now!

    I was part of the September 2018 cohort and graduated in December! Found a job immediately after graduating.

    Personally, CodeCore gave me the tools and skills needed to find a junior position out in the wild. I was self-learning on my own but I believe that if I didn't enroll in the bootcamp, I would've never found a job on my own.

    The bootcamp gives you some direction as to what to learn, what you should look at, and HOW you're supposed to learn. Practicing on projects...

    All Thanks to CodeCore

    I was hesitant going into the program because I really didn't enjoy the experiences I had with programming prior. CodeCore was able to quickly change my mind and I soon realized that it was a career I wanted to pursue. The staff made the daily (Monday - Friday) 9 hour grind so much more enjoyable than it sounded at first. 

    The instructors and TAs were all extremely competent and very helpful in making sure you become proficient in the course material. Like most things in life howev...

    Codecore Actually Cares About You

    Long story short - I did my research and looked at all options to get into tech industry in Vancouver (university, college, bootcamps and etc). UBC and all 4 year programs were out of the question quickly - I already had a degree and I did not want to do 4 more years of school. Plus unless you secured a coop - you wouldn't have a good time trying to get a job after anyway.

    I ended up narrowing it down to BCIT and CodeCore. They both attracted me for a bunch of reasons:

    Worth it if you have the determination

    If you're reading this, you are probably considering attending a bootcamp and in all likelihood you have a few questions/reservations. That's very good! So did I. Below are some of the questions I had, along with what I've learned from attending CodeCore's Developer Bootcamp as well as working my first months as a developer. I hope they can help you reach an informed decision.

    Can you really learn to code in 12 weeks?

    Short answer: not really; but y...

    Not prepare you for job market

    CodeCore teach basic things from many topics, but not what employer wants to see. You learn lots of the ruby on rails but not many jobs for that. Other bootcamp already switch to javascript which is more popular now and also future. Teacher are so so, class notes not good, but if you have questions you can find answer online or from teacher usually. My advice, find local developer and ask to be intern right away. You will learn better and faster what you actually need to know to get job af...

    Challenging but Worth it

    CodeCore helped me transform my career. I was working a dead end job in a small town before moving to Vancouver specifically for the bootcamp they offer. Now I am working at a job I love that I was able to get after graduating.

    I found the course to be challenging and engaging. For those willing to put in the work and can afford it CodeCore is a great experience that can greatly acclerate the initial part of developing web development skills.

    Waste of Money

    My education from Codecore was not relevant to the job market. The school passes many students who are not qualified for the positions available. They set the bar very low. Although some instructors are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, the vast majority of the education is insufficient to prepare a student for the real world. They market themselves very well but they under deliver. They also offer nearly no post-graduation support to find employment. If I could go back, I would learn it ...

    Best decision I have ever made

    I attended the Jan 2016 bootcamp after quitting my first full time job since graduation, it was not the easiest decision but I am so glad that I trusted my gut and went for it. I actually studied computer science in school, however because I lacked personal projects and was probably weak on the fundamentals, I never really felt confident for a web developer's role eventhough it was something I was very interested in doing.

     I met Tam a few years back when i was still in school (~...

    Tech it out

    If it is your ambition to become a software developer, imagine this:

    12/hr days of structured, high quality learning, and practice, every day, for three months. Imagine all of that, coupled with working with a tight-knit community of likeminded individuals all pursuing similar goals, and then also learning with mentors that come from all over the industry, many of them CodeCore graduates themselves. There is simply no better path to becoming a developer than attending a bootcamp....

    Fast Track your way into Tech

    Why I picked CodeCore

    I was accepted to two of the prominent bootcamps in Vancouver. Ultimately I choose to go with CodeCore for the following reasons:

    1. CodeCore is a 3 months program - I didn’t have a strong programming background, so I thought the extra month would help me better internalize the material.
    2. Better environment - larger space, plenty of study area, and leather chairs!

    Yes I took it, yes I got a job.

    I graduated from the bootcamp in October 2015. Two years ago I would have reserved for coding bootcamps the same sort of rabid cynicism reserved for multi-level marketing schemes. Yet--with great relief--here I am, gainfully employed and writing a glowing review.

    If you are reading this review you are probably wondering why I chose Codecore over Lighthouse. The main reason I let my guard down for Codecore is their policy of infinite retakes--having talked with Tam and getting a g...

    A fantastic school with a great community

    Before enrolling in CodeCore's bootcamp, I had bits and pieces of programming experience from having self-taught myself over the years. As I began to get more and more interested in web development, I felt like I had a couple of the pieces I needed, but was missing the whole picture. CodeCore's bootcamp was exactly what I needed - an intense, focused immersion into the fundamental concepts, tools and technologies used in modern web development.

    I had a really great experien...
