Digital Career Institute
Digital Career Institute (DCI) is a 12-month long coding bootcamp based in Germany with campuses in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg and Leipzig. The courses are fully immersive and cover entry-level basics in stack HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. DCI also specialize in technologies like Angular, Node.js, and Databases. DCI was launched as an initiative to integrate refugees into the growing IT industry. Today it is committed to training anyone who wants to pursue a tech career. In addition to coding languages, students will master best practices on platforms like GitHub. They will learn agile project management and development methodologies like SCRUM.
DCI is intended to help untrained individuals attain digital jobs, and so the application process assumes that candidates have no prior coding experience. The DCI application process begins by filling out an online form. Candidates will then be contacted by education consultants from DCI to discuss further details.
Job placement training is woven into DCI’s program. Career workshops help students prepare an industry-specific resume, create an online presence, and learn techniques that will make them more attractive to potential employers. DCI also sets each graduate up with a 2-month internship in the tech field.
The 12-month course focuses on self-paced learning, project work, and teacher lead discussions and lessons. In addition to standard courses, however, students will also attend specialized sessions led by DCI alumni and top professionals who offer tips to advancing in the field. Students will also partner with a buddy who they’ll meet with at least once a week. Aligned with Digital Career Institute's core belief in helping improve opportunities for refugees, they also provide German and English language courses lead by expert instructors.

Hailie WagnerContent Marketing Manager • Applicant • Online Marketing Course • BerlinDec 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceMy expectations have been exceeded
I worked in a hotel for some years and then started a family. Since it was difficult to reconcile both, I decided against my career. After a few months of unemployment, I decided to make a further education into the digital sector. With the DCI I was able to graduate as an Online Marketing Manager and now I have a great job with home office, work-life balance and a top salary.

DCI Online Kurs Webcoding und Marketing
Hallo, ich war im Orientierungskurs Webdevelopment und Marketing und dieser Kurs war echt herausragend und spitze. Respektvoller und freundlicher Umgang, die Lehrer/in freundlich, hilfsbereit und sehr sehr wissend im Thema.
Ich mache jetzt im Juli den Python Backend Deveoper Kurs weiter und habe durch DCI dann sehr gute Jobchancen. Wer wirklich was aus seinem Leben machen will, sollte ein Weiterbildungskurs bei DCI machen.

Ich mache jetzt im Juli den Python Backend Deveoper Kurs weiter und habe durch DCI dann sehr gute Jobchancen. Wer wirklich was aus seinem Leben machen will, sollte ein Weiterbildungskurs bei DCI machen.
Den DCI ist anders, als die meisten mir bekannten Träger und Maßnahmen in Berlin, und die ich auch in den letzten 10 Jahren in Berlin selbst erlebt und absolviert habe als Träger und Maßnahmen.
Die meisten anderen Träger in Berlin sind nicht respektvoll, nicht freundlich, meist unfähig oder unwissend oder machen unterirdische und schlechte Beschäftigungsmaßnahmen ohne ein je in einen Job zu vermitteln. Leben aber gut von Steuergeldern, und die Bundesregierung in Berlin macht das mit, und unterstützt schlechte Träger auch noch.
Nicht so bei DCI, das ist der erste Träger und Weiterbildungsanbieter, der echt respektvoll und freundlich ist sei es von den Schüler/in oder Lehrer/in und wo auch die Lehrer/in umfängliches, echtes Wissen aus der Wirtschaft und Informatik haben.
Ich habe das erstemal seit langem eine reale Aussicht auf ein Job und selbstbestimmtes Leben nach Menschenrechten die oft von Seiten der Leistungsabteilungen in Jobcenter in ganz Deutschland ohne Grund einem verwehrt werden.
Diese Weiterbildungskurse können unter anderem auch für Arbeitssuchende mit einem Bildungsgutschein vom Jobcenter finanziert werden.
Meist oder oft versuchen sich Jobcenter in ganz Deutschland darum zu drücken, und euch eine Weiterbildung zu verweigern, dann solltet ihr Klagen gegen das Jobcenter vor Gericht, kostenlos. Ihr gewinnt zu 99,9%, denn Weiterbildung ist ein Recht.
Dann muss man mit einem 10 Euro Schein zum nächsten Amtsgericht der Stadt und kriegt dort ein Justizbeihilfe Schein für den besten Clananwalt der Stadt, und nach spätestens 3 Tagen ist man in jeder Weiterbildung eingeklagt.
Gilt für jedes Problem mit den Jobcentern. Geht halt manchmal nicht anders.
Auf jeden Fall kriegt ihr bei DCI eine sachlich fundierte Ausbildung in Informatik und Wirtschaft und es wird euch bei der Jobsuche und Eingliederung sehr gut geholfen von DCI.
So könnt ihr mit einer sehr fundierten Ausbildung innerhalb Deutschlands oder außerhalb in den Ländern der EU oder Amerika oder Australien oder Asien sicher einen guten Job und gutes Leben finden.
In Deutschland sind 80 Mio Einwohner, davon arbeiten noch 15 Mio legal und sozialversicherungspflichtig, 65 Mio Leute arbeiten ohne sozialversichert zu sein in prekären Lowlevel Jobs, sind in Rente oder arbeiten erst gar nicht aus welchen unterschiedlichen Gründen auch immer. (Quelle: Bundesamt für Statistik, 2019)
Also echte fundierte Fachkräfte in Deutschland werden händeringend überall gesucht in Deutschland, in allen Arbeitsbranchen, und gerade besonders in der IT.
Aber achtet auf eure Work - Life - Balance, laßt euch nicht verheizen und verkauft euch nicht unter Wert, am Arbeitsplatz in der Firma.
Also Leute geht zu DCI und bekommt wieder ein Sinn im Leben. :-)
Ich bin echt rundum zufrieden mit DCI und werde es auch im Bekanntenkreis weiterempfehlen.

I've made a great decision!
I was able to create two websites within a month of the orientation course. So I think that's a big thing, especially when you start from zero, like I did. I can only recommend this Institute and I can't wait to start the one year course. - Najeeb Al-SelwiStudent • Web Development Course • HamburgJun 17, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Happy with my decision!
I am very happy with my decision. After a long search, I am happily studying Online Marketing at Digital Career Institute to inbound my previous PR&Sales experience for getting ready for a coming new digitalized world in a short term. I like a lot the friendly and warm atmosphere among the administration, teachers and fellow students. Due to COVID-19 we study all from home. Hopefully, soon we can again network, get mentorship and practical tips at the campus. - TobiasJunior Online Marketing Manager • Student • Online Marketing Course • BerlinMay 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

After several years working in restaurant service I decided to do something different. I was looking for jobs with a future prospect and decided to learn something in the digital field. After looking in the internet and comparing different schools and bootcamps I decided that Digital Career Institute offers the best education for me due to the fact, that they offer full time training and intensive one year courses. When starting at DCI I even found out, that they offer additional programs to learn how to apply for jobs and help us build a own network. We receive free tickets to exhibitions and hiring events. Very cool. Our campus in Düsseldorf has 2 kitchens and ping pong table. We are a very international community of every age and nationality.

Great learning culture
Started there as a non developer and enrolled first in the one month orientation course and qualified to the year course web development. I really liked the international atmosphere and learning speed from 0 to 100.
In between it was really hard, e.g. Javascript. But I made it and now got a job with DCI. Thank you!
