App Academy is a great bootcamp. I started App Academy at the beginning of 2021 as a student. The course design motivates the students to learn as much as they can during the 16 week period. The TAs and career coaches are very responsible and truly wish... Read More you to succeed in software engineering.

I attended a/A due to all of the great reviews and recommendations on different sites. After attending and graduating, I can tell you they were spot on. I never expected to feel so comfortable with applying for tech roles. Drinking from a fire hose is... Read More an understatement. You will repeatedly feel behind, but do not worry. You are not the only one. I would attend a/A again if I could go back. The cohort you join is a giant group of friends that are all wishing for your success. I did my best learning and networking during the mandatory pair-boarding sessions each day. My only issues with a/A would be maybe adding more leet code questions or more information on UI/UX. Overall, I would recommend a/A to anyone who has a support network and a strong desire for a career change. It will be tough, but worth it in the end.

I didn't have any computer science background and didn't know anything about coding before I decided to apply to app academy. I spent 1 month studying Js for app academy entry test. App academy was not easy, and I struggled the whole time. But you’ll... Read More learn so much in 4 months.

The 16-week online program was a whirlwind of 70-80 hour weeks (starts at ~60 hours and ramps up) but it definitely gives you a firm foundation for your programming skills, including creating your own apps from scratch. The instructors were helpful and... Read More it's a friendly environment. My only knock against the program is that the curriculum could use some updating for newer technology that is being used in industry nowadays, but for the most part what they teach and have you practice is applicable to the industry.

I started App Academy in January 2021, after I had decided to quit my sales job in the medical manufacturing industry to get into tech. It was a challenging course, and you definitely have to be ready to put your life on hold and dedicate 16 weeks to... Read More immerse yourself in the material and keep up with the workload they expect of you (at least 70-80 hours a week). I think it was a great time to get into this bootcamp since with COVID I wasn't tempted to leave the house much anyway. You will make many great friends in the cohort along the way that will help you have a good initial base network that you will carry with you into your career, and the career coaches and an abundance of additional resources will be there for you in the job search(which I am in right now). Keep in mind the onus will mostly be on you throughout the program to pass the assessments, get your projects done, and get the new career you are dreaming of. The instructors and coaches will help you, but you will also need to help yourself to be in the top applicants in a competitive market. I would say the main con is there is a lot of information thrown at you and a lot of times it can be disorganized, so you need to ask lots of questions and figure out what is important either for your short term understanding of the technologies or what companies are expecting you to know in the real world.

Well, I am pretty confident I could create or learn to create any kind of software now. At what cost though? App academy cost about the same as any other legit boot camp in money but that’s not the real cost. The real cost is the time and effort involved.... Read More I went to medical school and earned my MD, I am no stranger to ridiculously difficult classes or being required to learn a ton of material quickly so please believe me when I say, App Academy is difficult. It is not for someone who does not test well, some of our classmates (like 1/5) did fail tests and they were dismissed from the program. It is not for people who want to casually learn programming it really does require your effort every day of the week all day long and many days you will still not be done after that. If you want to do this more than anything else and you can take timed tests that are not easy then come learn to do one of the coolest things I have ever gotten to learn to do.

If you are looking to turn your life around then App Academy is the route to take. This bootcamp has given me not only a tremendous amount of knowledge, but confidence in myself to succeed. The teachers and the curriculum are both amazing! I would recommend... Read More to everyone.

My experience at App Academy went above and beyond my expectations for a coding bootcamp. When COVID hit, I was torn between going back to college or joining an online bootcamp. After researching many bootcamps, App Academy stood out to me because it... Read More was one of the few places that offered a shared income agreement. The quality of the curriculum was excellent, and the instructors are very qualified. I felt that all the staff and my classmates were invested in my success, and this kept me motivated through the 24 weeks online program. Each week, we covered a new topic through lectures as well as built projects to reinforce our skills through pair programming. If it any point, I had questions or needed a concept further explained, the TAs immediately offered assistance. After graduating, you will get access to many resources to support your job search. Overall, I really recommend App Academy to anybody who wants to enter the tech industry.

Hello all future software engineer and developers, If you're looking for a Bootcamp that offers problem solving, structure, and excitement; You're reading the right review! The last 6 months at App Academy have been amazing. I went from knowing nothing... Read More about coding (complete beginner) to an accomplished full stack graduate. I have made a dozen friends and of those dozen, 3- 4 will be permanent friends that I will continue to support throughout my career. The staff at App Academy is top tier, they're personable, smart, and accurate. The camp really helped me overcome my struggles with problem solving.
