Codaisseur

This is a great place to switch your career to tech industry. Teachers and other staff members are nice. You are actually learning all modern javascript methods. Nice thing is that if you are actually finishing this bootcamp, you really learn enough to... Read More get a job.This is different than other courses in the market. Just because you pay that doesn't mean that you will graduate. You have to pass all the assessments and satisfy some fundamental knowledge. Only 50% of my class could graduate but the ones that graduated all got a job within a month! Heads up for prospect students: You can be accepted to academy without coding knowledge(that's the point of career switch) but once you are accepted you have to study very hard before you start the academy. You have to prepare for the classes. It is because there is too little time but a lot to learn. So if you leave everything until the classes start, it is very likely that you will not understand half of the topics which will lead you to fail. You want a new job, you have to work hard! Codaisseur is the good place to help you!

Codaisseur academy is one of the highlights of my life. I think is the best coding school for career switchers. I felt supported, accepted and very welcomed since day 1! great teachers, stuff and coffee :) they really prepare you and give you all the... Read More tools to kickstart your career as a programmer!

It's amazing that Codaisseur provides the opportunity to change your career in such a short period of time. From the time I started the academy to when I accepted a job - it was exactly 3 months. The course was well-organized, teachers knowledgeable and... Read More helpful, and course materials were clear and easy-to-use. Also the Career Accelerator portion of the academy (interview prep, CV, LinkedIn and Job search assistance) was an additional help to prepare me for finding and landing a job. But make no mistake, the academy is intensive and not everyone that starts the program will complete it. My best advice would be to learn some basic coding on your own (html, javascript, css) before starting the program. I went from being a personal trainer to a full-stack developer in 3 months. Overall, no regrets!

A lot of stuff for 9 weeks, difficult and intense, but great teachers and staff, very helpful and supportive both during the program and after graduation. cons: ton of information in short time, difficult, intense pros: very friendly staff and teachers,...

After I decided to leave my career as a research chemist and migrate to the IT field, I started looking for Bootcamps that would help me in this process. After talking to students from different schools, I chose Codaisseur because of how grateful these... Read More former students were to Coidasseur, and today I know why. After I graduate, I was with a job offer (in 3 weeks) and with two processes in the final stage, and 5 weeks after, I was started my first job as a developer. Together with it, I was leaving the school with amazing friends (colleagues and from staff, also). And it is speechless! The course was very intense and required a lot of dedication. The content taught is excellent, not only teaching how JavaScript is but also developing the logic behind it and this is important for the transfer of what you learn in this Bootcamp to your professional life, especially if you are going to work with a different language (which is my case!). The job support was excellent, V., my 'career coach' that guided me in this process, was kind and super concerned (even after I got hired) about I start in a good company, that I would fit well and be happy. Also, the whole staff is amazing (teachers, HR, management, etc), and the most important: they care about the whole well-being, from performance to the emotional state of the student.

Codaisseur's Fullstack Javascript Academy is definitely the most challenging course I have ever taken. However, I really enjoyed it and it was a great decision because it helped me make a career switch and also because I met wonderful people on the way.... Read More I took this course in October 2021 and I felt very supported by my teachers and everybody at Codaisseur. The 2-months academy is certainly very intense, and you have to put a lot of effort to complete it, but also, the teachers and teachers assistants are really great and do their best to help you and teach you. Once I finished the course, my career coach at Codaisseur really helped me through the process of getting a job and after only one month, I was hired. My classmates were hired very fast as well.

When I decided to study at codaisseur 2 years ago, they advertised their program as "No experience or previous knowledge needed, in 10 weeks become a software engineer". And this is a huge lie. I had no experience in coding before joining the bootcamp,... Read More but I have always been quite tech-savvy. And there I was, just on the first day we learned about git, the terminal, HTML and CSS. All in the span of 8 hours. How would anyone expect somebody with "no previous coding knowledge" to get familiar with all these 4 topics in just one day? The second day we were already busy with javascript, no need to say I was falling behind the program from the first day and that there was a huge gap of knowledge. At the end of the second week we were already busy with React. I did my university years working full time at the same time, and that was not half stressfull as were these weeks at Codaisseur. An insane amount of information is thrown at you, with no time to process it and to properly learn. Learning, especially in coding, must be a process of changing your way of thinking and to "mold" your head. Not to type code without really understanding what you are doing. I decided to stop the bootcamp on the third week. In the exit interview I mentioned what I just wrote referring to the "no experience needed", to which they answered "no experience needed is very subjective", no, my friends, no experience is no experience, period.   I felt like a failure. It took me one year to gather the motivation again to start learning coding, and this time I did it on my own, with Udemy courses and online resources, learning at my own path and really letting the new information sink in and changing my way of thinking code-wise. Now I am working as a junior developer. After doing the online courses I could see the value of the Codaisseur program, but this was because I already had some knowledge about it. And to be honest, if you already feel comfortable with coding, I wouldn't say the program is worth going into debt for it. Just keep learning on your own. Summarizing: + Good teachers - Terrible structure of the program, rushing to learn and you end up learning nothing and hating code before knowing what is actually code - Misleading marketing strategies, or in other words, lying strategies. "No experience needed, but, actually.... "

When I decided to move from digital marketing to web development career, I started looking for a bootcamp that could quickly provide me with the skills I needed in the job market and also that could help me through this transition. Codaisseur exceeded... Read More my expectations. There is a strong community around it and it was crucial to help me get a job right after finishing the academy (very opportunely, I finish the academy on Friday, and the following Monday I already have an excellent offer on the table) . I think Codaisseur structured the course very well and provided all the additional support I needed (eg, specialised career advisors) to make my goal successful and, as I witnessed, several other students. Excellent choice I made.

I focused on wiping out the dreadful experience at Codaisseur from my mind when I received the email from the staff asking for good reviews in exchange for merchandise. Seriously desperate? Nothing good comes out of a bad structure. Class after class... Read More of forcing information down our throats was never a good strategy. And what about the days when we all had to stand outside class for so long because somebody was not scheduled to teach us? Maybe it was a good course when it was first started many years back but now it is just a circus of trying to see how many people they can put into debt after giving them a barely passable education if you can even call it that. Nothing is scheduled properly and exams are not checked properly. The instructors have very little time for the students and we most often have to ask each other for support instead of having assistance from a profesional. The Codaisseur hiring team is overbearing and ironically speak as if they have never read their own contract. They expect that once students graduate that they will jump through hoops to find a job but the hiring team will not do their part at all and get upset if students do not check all the boxes of their absurd checklist. I saw quite a number of responses to the negative reviews here laced with the same false confidence that the team in question interrogated us with every week. Totally ridiculous experience which I would not recommend to anyone who wants to keep their sanity and start a career in an otherwise very stable field of work.

Intense, but extremely awarding. When I decided to switch careers to become a software developer, I wanted to know where to start, the help when I got stuck, and the best preparation to give me a kick-start to launch into my new career. Codaisseur offered... Read More everything I was looking for. The no cure no pay model granted me the flexibility to find a company I wanted to settle down with or move on if I didn't like it, this in comparison with a fixed two-year traineeship. The teachers were wonderful, and I still hear them guide me through the coding challenges I encounter daily in my work as a SaaS product developer. Even though I hardly code in JavaScript/NodeJs, the Bootcamp provided me with the foundation to continue my studies by myself, picking up Java, and the courage to apply it immediately in my work. My c.v. has never looked as impressive after the career preparation week, and I landed my first coding job a week after graduation. Next but not least, I made friends and build my first network in technology.
