Claim Academy

I came to Claim Academy with no experience beyond a little bit of online work and the pre-work required to get accepted. I left three months later with a solid skill set not only in the fundamentals of full-stack .Net coding, but also in preparing for... Read More job interviews, negotiating salary, and presentation skills. It is a lot of work to put in, but if you put in the effort it will pay off.

Claim Academy definitely lives up to its title of Bootcamp. Just like any boot camp if you are truly committed the benefits are abundant. The instructors are knowledgeable and really helpful and their team takes a genuine interest in helping find job... Read More placement.

Claim Academy’s staff takes a personal interest toward a successful outcome for all students enrolled in either their Java or C#/.Net cohorts - successful defined as making sure the students have a solid understanding of foundational coding principles,... Read More a good grasp on soft skills when it comes time for interviews and most importantly aligns their numerous employment contacts up with graduating students. It’s the deep concern for their students that I think sets Claim Academy at the top in their field.

What makes Claim Academy the best is not just what they do for us on the front-end (Class, Instructors, etc) but what they do for us on the back-end (job searches, inviting companies to talk to us, hack-a-thons). They really are committed to helping the... Read More students gain the necessary skills and provide us with resources to improve in our cohort. In additionally its a great stepping stone to placing us in the field of technology.

Computer engineering had always been an interest of mine, but I did not have a solid base on which to build solid and marketable skills. I had watched lectures online and picked up some things, but I learned of a problem. When you are learning something... Read More brand new, there will be gaps in your knowledge base and you will not know where those gaps exist. That’s where Claim Academy came in. They did a great job covering nearly all relevant topics for full-stack development - from the basics of class and methods to including implementing newer technologies like Angular into the curriculum. I do wish some topics were covered more in depth (ex: debugging), but in 12 weeks, it is amazing what they cover.

The thing that sticks out from the experience there is the people. They are fully invested in you and it shows. Ola’s passion and drive are contagious, Travis goes above and beyond to prepare you, and the instructors like Lamar, Sahara and Praneeth are knowledgeable, dedicated and ready to help you become great. The belief is if you succeed, they succeed.

There is a catch: You will have to work the hardest you ever have for 12 weeks. You will be challenged. There will be some easy days, and some days that are difficult. You will get out what you put in. That’s it.

That’s it. If you think about it, there is not a better way to change your career in 12 weeks.

I really enjoyed my time at Claim Academy. I actually left my job to make this commitment and prayed I wouldn’t regret. I don’t I’m so glad I made this commitment and followed through till the end. I would refer anyone that would want to Jumpstart there... Read More career in Software Development. Instructors are awesome it’s like having an extended family . THANKS CLAIM ACADEMY. The staff is amazing

You have to be dedicated! You need to be able to put your life on hold for 12 weeks! But at the end of 12 weeks, you will be trained and ready to begin a new career. You will gain knowledge in class, but you will need to do some self-directed learning... Read More on your own as well. If you are not truly dedicated, this experience may prove to be too difficult for you. If you don't ask for help (and you'll need some), this may prove too much for you. Coding is difficult! If it were easy, everyone would do it, and it would pay $10/hr. You have to focus! You have to study! You will also receive soft skills training and placement assistance. They're here to help you. You won't be babied, so don't expect that. I cannot say enough about the passion and dedication of the instructors. They want, more than anything, to see you succeed, and they make themselves available at all times of the day or night. So . . . are you ready?

Claim Academy provided a great opportunity for me to begin my career in software development. Twelve weeks ago I only knew some basic HTML, and now I am a full stack C#/.NET developer. During my enrollment I was able to hone both technical and soft skills... Read More that are essential for the job market. I recommend Claim Academy to anyone willing to dedicate twelve weeks to learning both front and back-end development. If you are interested in beginning a career as a software developer, do yourself a favor and check them out. I'm glad I did.

Great program. No complaints about my java instructors or support staff. Only problems I had were taken care of before I finished my course. Only things I saw that could have been better would be a clearer communications of expectations. A few times I... Read More came up shorter than I would have liked due to not knowing for sure what was expected of me. But, overall a great and worthwhile experience. Special mention to Sahara Datta for her help when I got behind on things. Lamar Myles for late night email hints to keep my project work going. And Travis Mattis for keeping me reminded that I needed to occasionally stop coding to put in an application or two.
