Codeworks

I attended Codeworks in the February 2024 cohort, and it was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Before joining, I had recently graduated with a degree in computer science, and I believe this background helped me get the most out of the course. What I liked most about Codeworks is that, despite the intense and demanding schedule, I never felt overwhelmed. This is because you have full control over managing your time. They give you exercises to work on, and you’re free to approach them however you prefer, setting your own pace until the deadline.
While I had some coding experience, I don’t think it's necessary for those joining to have a background in coding. One of the best aspects of Codeworks is that the curriculum offers a learning curve for everyone. You have the opportunity to dive deeper into each topic, so whether you're already familiar with the subject or not, there's always something new to learn.
In conclusion, Codeworks was an excellent way for me to solidify my knowledge and served as a great transition from the academic world to the professional world. 

With an academic background in the humanities, I initially approached technology from that perspective before deciding to pursue software engineering. I had some experience with coding and, along with my partner (a software engineer), explored various bootcamp options available in Europe. I spoke with different institutions, read experience reports from past attendees, and gathered all the information I could. A month later, I chose Codeworks for their immersive software engineering program focused on full-stack development in JavaScript/TypeScript, and I have no regrets.

From the acceptance test and pre-course to the actual course (divided into junior and senior phase), I am happy with everything they offered. The pre-course ensured we all started with a shared foundation, which was further built upon in the junior phase with more theory and challenges. The senior phase supported our growth the most, featuring three projects that culminated in a group thesis project. Within this intensive and focused environment, Codeworks also managed to communicate the values of clean code and testing.

However, Codeworks didn't stop there. They supported us throughout the job-hunting process. I was unfamiliar with the unique challenges of applying for tech jobs and might not have managed as well without Mireia from Codeworks. I had no trouble finding a job, and part of this success is maybe due to the information and context Codeworks provided, especially since, in my previous academic roles, I never had to navigate the multi-step job application process that is common in tech.

Regarding the time commitment and intensity of the bootcamp, it's essential to note that it is a demanding experience. You can review the curriculum and daily structure on their website, which includes lectures, pair programming, challenges, meetings, and projects. The three months of the actual course, excluding the self-paced pre-course, will dominate your life. However, I personally think it is worth it. Committing to building skills in a short time frame allows you to overcome feelings of frustration and possible breaking points faster.

Now, to tell you what I was most interested in before I decided for a coding bootcamp:
after working as a software developer for quite some time, I can confidently say that I recommend Codeworks. I, for one, needed the structure and community as well as the opportunity to ask questions to be able to learn coding as fast as I did. I feel comfortable in my job and get (very) good feedback. Everybody knows about my learning experience through the bootcamp and nobody is questioning my knowledge. I would do it again. 

I recently completed the Software Engineering program at Codeworks, and I'm tremendously impressed. The program provided a comprehensive foundation in software development fundamentals and best practices.
The curriculum was modern and relevant, encompassing essential subjects like algorithms, data structures, and cutting-edge web development frameworks. The instructors were not only experts in their field but also exceptional at providing mentorship and support. Their practical experience made even intricate concepts clear and relatable.
What truly enhanced my learning was the program's emphasis on hands-on experience. We collaborated on real-world projects that mirrored professional environments, effectively preparing me for my upcoming role as a software engineer. The collaborative learning atmosphere, fostered by peer programming sessions and group discussions, was both motivating and enriching.
I was also grateful for the program's dedication to career development. Codeworks' career services, including resume workshops and mock interviews, were extremely helpful in securing my new position as a software engineer specializing in machine learning.
Overall, I strongly recommend Codeworks to anyone seeking to enter the tech industry or refine their existing skills. The program equipped me with invaluable knowledge, practical experience, and the confidence to thrive in this dynamic field.
Thank you, Codeworks, for an exceptional journey into the world of software engineering!

I recently completed the Software Engineering course at Codeworks, and I couldn’t be more satisfied with the experience. From the outset, the course was structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of software development principles and practices.The curriculum is well-designed and up-to-date, covering essential topics such as algorithms, data structures, and modern web development technologies. The instructors are highly knowledgeable and always willing to provide guidance and support. Their real-world experience and practical insights made complex concepts much easier to understand.The hands-on approach of the course is what I found most valuable. We worked on real projects that simulated actual work environments, which prepared me for my upcoming role as a junior developer. The peer programming sessions and weekly meetings fostered a collaborative learning atmosphere that was both motivating and educational.I also appreciated the focus on personal and professional growth. The career services offered by Codeworks, including resume reviews and mock interviews, were instrumental in helping me secure a job. I’m thrilled to be starting a new position as a junior PHP developer working with artificial intelligence.Overall, I highly recommend Codeworks to anyone looking to break into the tech industry or enhance their existing skills. The experience, knowledge, and confidence I gained were truly invaluable.Thank you, Codeworks, for an outstanding journey into the world of software engineering!5 stars!!!

The boot camp was intense no doubt; especially if you are new to coding which I was. nevertheless I have learnt a lot and more importantly I have developed the ability to learn and apply new technologies faster. so I would recommend codeworks to anyone but you have to put in the work definitely not a spoon feeding environment.  
Pros
Well Organise classes, classes punctuality 10/10
course materials are advanced and quite relevant to the industry
knowledgeable instructors 
friendly environment(every one is willing to share)
awesome alumni and career support
Cons (not really cons but rather what I found to be defeating)
very fast pace(you can get lost trying to deeply understand every info that you are given).
The program structure can be confusing ; it forces you to trust in the process but what i can say is that at the end of the course it will make sense.
the course doesn't teach you in-depth on every thing; it gives you a strong foundation  

  

The overall course experience was incredible  and everything that is promoted on their website is true. The application process itself gives an accurate glimpse into what you can expect for the entire course -- intense workload, high expectations, but high quality curriculum and instructors to support you the entire way. This course is definitely not for those looking to coast through a coding bootcamp. It is designed for those who are willing and committed to live and breathe nothing but coding for 12 weeks, for those who love challenge and are ready to keep pushing to learn and work through challenges every day of the course. For those students, you walk away with the confidence and ability to learn any new programming language and solve any problem thrown your way in your first software engineering job. Furthermore, Codeworks provides incredible resources and support in landing your dream software engineering job after the conclusion of the program. I could not recommend this program more.
