Code Academy Berlin

I took the 5 month course in Data Analytics and I would like to comment that my experience was overall very positive. The course was intense, comprehensive and professional, I managed to get a good training to take my first steps in the world of data... Read More engineering. On the other hand the mentors are very professional too, dedicated and the co-founders and all the staff are always available to support you. The atmosphere of the school is very friendly and familiar. I definitely recommend it. Thank you Code Academy Berlin!

I remember my first day at CAB well. There had been a bit of disorientation in my life (my company didn't survive Covid), and to be honest, I wasn't even sure if coding was for me. But the day started and while I was getting to know everyone, it was exciting... Read More too see that Lucas and Jost and back then Ottavia were exactly how I had pictured them from the short info on their company website: a bunch of friends putting their heads together to make a company of their own, a place of learning and challenging oneself, but also a place of fun and connection. As for the content: the technologies taught were exactly as specified in the course curriculum. Remarkably, almost everything covered by the course proved to be relevant afterwards in my first job. Regarding the learning environment, I want to highlight two conditions provided by CAB that, in my regard, impacted my progress the most (I went from zero to Junior developer level): 1. On-site learning with max. 5 students per mentor To me as a beginner, nothing was more challenging than training myself to not get frustrated with the very frequent errors breaking my code. Being able to talk to my mentor once a day to keep the struggle positive and get help solving the problem was a real game changer for me. 2. Fabulous mentoring As a mentor, Lucas did an excellent job, notably when explaining any problem regardless its complexity with precise and short rhetoric. His approach to not give us solutions, but to assist in finding solutions ourselves was top-notch mentoring.

I entered this bootcamp with great excitement and anticipation, but unfortunately, my enthusiasm waned by the time I graduated. To put it bluntly, I was left extremely disappointed.There was a lack of good mentors or actual mentors on site (I can count... Read More at least two weeks or more in total, that we had no mentor on site for help).Furthermore, what added to my disillusionment was the misalignment between what was promised on the syllabus and the intro call with Jost, and what was actually delivered. Many crucial elements, initially mentioned, were conspicuously missing from the program. These omissions were a significant letdown, as they were topics I considered to be of paramount importance for a comprehensive educational experience. To make matters worse, the career week proved to be unhelpful, and the way it was organized struck me as profoundly unprofessional, and not targeted to all audience. It left me feeling ill-prepared for the transition into the professional world. In sum, I believe that Code Academy has a long way to go in terms of improvement. Potential students should be awae of these shortcomings before making their decision to enroll. My experience left me with a profound sense that there's much room for growth and refinement within this institution.

Choosing this path in my academic journey was undoubtedly the best decision for me. My experience with Code Academy Berlin was transformative, leading me straight to my ideal job. The mentors I encountered were knowledgeable, and the curriculum was meticulously... Read More crafted to reflect real-world challenges. While I deeply respect the feedback from all students, it's essential to highlight the vast difference between my experience and some of the negative reviews posted. Sometimes, the difficulties one encounters might be more related to personal challenges or misaligned expectations rather than any genuine shortcomings from the institution. From my perspective, Code Academy Berlin consistently met and exceeded its promises, offering not only solid educational content but also unwavering support throughout. It's imperative to remember that every individual's journey is unique; what might seem lacking for some could be precisely what another student requires. In reflection, and based on my own journey, I'd venture to say that some of the dissatisfaction voiced may have stemmed more from individual circumstances than any inadequacies on the part of Code Academy Berlin. I had a highly positive experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend the academy. To prospective students: while it's essential to consider all feedback, always trust in your judgment and be open to the transformative experiences awaiting you.

My experience with this program has been quite disappointing, to say the least. It's disheartening to see that the mentors provided are clearly inexperienced and lack the necessary skills to guide and support students effectively. It's as if their qualifications... Read More were an afterthought, and this reflects negatively on the overall quality of the program. One of the most frustrating aspects is the blatant disregard for feedback. It seems that any input or suggestions I provided were simply brushed aside, leaving me with a sense of helplessness and frustration. It's demoralizing to invest time and effort into sharing thoughts, only to have them fall on deaf ears. Moreover, the lack of active engagement from the management is evident. The instructions provided through their portal are not only unhelpful but also counterproductive. It's disconcerting to think that the guidance I'm receiving is based on such poor quality resources. It raises questions about the institution's commitment to providing a valuable and enriching learning experience. Reflecting on my time here, it's difficult to find any redeeming qualities that would justify recommending this program to others. The cons seem to far outweigh any potential pros. It's disheartening to feel so let down by an educational institution that I had hoped would provide a platform for growth and learning. In conclusion, I cannot, in good conscience, recommend this program to anyone. The lack of experienced mentors, the dismissal of valuable feedback, the passive engagement, and the poor quality instructions all contribute to an overwhelmingly negative experience. It's essential to consider other options that prioritize genuine mentorship, active learning, and a supportive environment for personal and educational development.

I was very excited to participate in this bootcamp, but unfortunately by the time I graduated I was extremely disappointed. Only 1 of the 3 mentors was professional and knowledgeable, but he was also restricted in real life working practice knowledge.... Read More Every question or issue about things that are being done in real life wasn't answered or solved. Many things that were mentioned to me ended up not being on the program though there were on the sllybus and are quite important. Career week was unhelpful and I found they way it was built very unprofessional. In general, I think that code academy has much to improve. Be mindful of that.

Code Academy provided a learning experience with teachers who were pleasant and helpful. Overall, I found the learning aspect to be positive.

the webinars have helped me to understand which parts of data science I need to explore further. I also participated in machine learning webinars that helped me understand the baseline. It is also beneficial that they record the webinars, this would help... Read More to come back and recheck some parts.
