Concordia Bootcamps partners with universities to offer online coding and data science bootcamps. These bootcamps prepare students for careers in tech, and offer a university certificate upon graduation. The bootcamps also teach students how to navigate the job market, how to market themselves, and how to network. Concordia Bootcamps is headquartered in Montreal, Canada.
Concordia Bootcamps formerly went by the name DecodeMTL and Journey Education.
I started the course without any idea about HTML or CSS. The pace of the course is quite good. The course starts explaining the basic concepts and builds into more complicated ideas by exercises, code-alongs, and homework.
Lucas was a great instructor and was available to answer our questions. The class room and lounge are very nice!

I recommend for someone looking to have an introduction to Web Design; to take this course, especially if you need to interact directly with an instructor!
I was initally skeptical that I would be able to get hired with only 8 weeks of training and I wondered how much I could actually learn in such little time before I decided to attend the full-time bootcamp. I was especially skeptical because programming was a big career change for me, having previously worked in social services, which required years of formal training. I ended up finding work within a week of finishing Decode and am extremely happy with the job I landed. Our demo day provi...
I was initally skeptical that I would be able to get hired with only 8 weeks of training and I wondered how much I could actually learn in such little time before I decided to attend the full-time bootcamp. I was especially skeptical because programming was a big career change for me, having previously worked in social services, which required years of formal training. I ended up finding work within a week of finishing Decode and am extremely happy with the job I landed. Our demo day provided an amazing opportunity to present our final projects to a room full of people looking to hire, which led to several interviews for me and a job offer.
Overall, I would say that Decode is what you make of it. I would definitely recommend Decode to anyone who can really commit to clearing their schedule for the course period to ensure they don't fall behind in class. The pace is fast and they pack a lot into the course so, again, it's what you make it. But Ziad is an amazing instructor and was able to explain concepts in a way that even us newbs could understand. The cost was worth it to have a strict schedule that I had to stay on track with, to have the TAs help whenever I got completely stuck on a workshop, and to have the opportunity to present to a room of hiring managers.
I would definitely recommend taking the full-time course at DecodeMTL. Obviously it is impossible to learn everything about web development in two months, however the course gives you a solid foundation and teaches relevant technologies. You graduate with the skills to enter the work field as a Junior Dev.
Ziad, the instructor, is passionate about what he does and is great at explaining the material in a clear, understandable way. Codrin, the TA, is amazing. He is always availabl...

Ziad, the instructor, is passionate about what he does and is great at explaining the material in a clear, understandable way. Codrin, the TA, is amazing. He is always available, 7 days a week, well past course hours to mentor the students and ensure that everyone fully grasps all the concepts.
Being located in WeWork is a bonus: close to the metro and downtown, unlimited coffee/tea/beer, networking events all the time, etc.
I found a job just a few weeks after the program with a competitive salary (close to $60,000) and nice benefits. I have also recieved quite a few offers just from recruiters viewing my LinkedIn or GitHub profiles.
Overall, DecodeMTL was an amazing experience and I highly recommend taking the full-time immersive course.
Great course! Has given me a good understanding of what's behind web pages. The course description was exactly what was presented – and more. Lucas Lemonnier did a terrific job. I would not hesitate to recommend this course.
Decode MTL is an amazing place.

Do not underestimate it because it is not on campus. Our teacher(Lucas) taught at Concordia before. He is not only an professional programmer but a inspiring teacher!! I do respect his passion for teaching and coding.
This special learning experience is very influential to me.

2. ENVIRONMENT FOR ENTREPRENEUR
I am a student in Concordia and my major is more related to business. I find DecodeMTL can give me an awesome opportunity to meet different people. Many of my classmates already worked in the IT industry, having work experience in coding. It is a very impressive experience to talk and learn from them too.
I would highly recommend taking a web development course at DecodeMTL.
The prof communicates the material in a clear and articulate manner despite the complexity of the subject at hand. The notes are extremely well formatted (I am old school and need notes to be able to digest material efficiently).
The teacher (Lucas) and TA (Codrin) are accessible and super patient as well as generous with their time and knowledge!

The space at WeWork is rather pleasant too. I must say, it gave me the yearning to become an entrepreneur!
Originally I thought that should I ever really love coding (which is precisely what ended up happening.....to the point where its all I dream about anymore!!!), the plan was to use the completion of this course as a stepping stone before applying to get into the Computer Science program at University however I learned that the that the curriculum in most colleges (certainly here in Montreal) are many years behind and therefore wouldn't allow for one to graduate with enough practical knowledge hence I look forward to taking another course at DecodeMTL in the future.
I've been part of the first Full-time cohort, and I'm still amazed at how much I learned and became employable in only 8 weeks. I've been learning Web Development on my own three or four monthes prior to the Bootcamp , and did not even cover half of all the content we saw.
They have a solid experience from working in the industry and know the standarts and the skills that must be learned. I've been hired 2 weeks ago, and I am using a lot of what they showed us on a daily basis.

If you're looking for a career mave as I was, I definitely recommend it, as long as you're not afraid (and more important, that you love) to code, code, and then code overnight.
The eight weeks I spent at DecodeMTL were by far the best! I learned to think and code like a developer. What I learned proved to be invaluable in my career shift. I was a teacher by day and a web designer by night. Now I am a full-stack web developer by day and by night! ;-)
I am one of the first cohort's graduates (September-October 2015).
I had an amazing experience with DecodeMTL. The course is well designed and even if my brain had some hard time here and there, everything went pretty smoothly. The lead instructor Ziad Saab has a genuine sense for teaching.

The course is really intensive but this is what makes the environment so dynamic. As we were only twelve students, the atmosphere was somehow like a family and we are actually all sad the course is over now. This went really too fast!
I am still struck by how much I was able to learn in 8 weeks. Being at the right place, with the right people, make a huge difference. And DecodeMTL was exactly what I needed to succeed my career change.
DecodeMTL’s program has exceeded all my expectations. And in the end, I am very grateful to Ziad and Kevin for leading me where I am now. I had close to zero web knowledge, 8 weeks later, I feel like everything is possible.
