Code Platoon

Code platoon is an intense coding boot camp to spin you up from 0 to professional in 15 weeks. There is an expectation to know some coding skills before you start, and before the course begins you are given pre-work to get you up to speed so that all... Read More students start from the same ground. Additionally, there was a course held before my cohort called "fundamentals of programming" which, from all reviews of students who went through it, helped them so much. Without Code Platoon I would not have landed a job as a software developer. As a transitioning service member I did not want to get the same job in the private sector as I had in the military. With the certification of completion from Code Platoon, the personal and group projects on my github, I was able to show employers that I was an industry ready software engineer. 10/10 would recommend. Life changing.

Pros: - The staff, instructors, and fellow students are supportive and focused on helping you learn the skills to become a full-time software developer utilizing javascript, python, HTML/CSS, postgresql, Django, and React. - The program includes interview,... Read More and resume prep along with mock behavioral and technical interviews. Cons: - It is an intense program of study and will consume virtually all your time and energy during your attendance, but you will be rewarded with a first-class software development education.

I recently Graduated from Code Platoon in their Uniform Platoon Full-Stack course. My experience with Code Platoon is one I will never forget. I learned more in 3 months than I would of learn in any college setting. As a prior college student and military... Read More service member I have never witnessed better instruction than I did while going through their course. Code Platoon takes you from knowing little to nothing about programming to creating complete applications from start to finish within 3 months. On top of their curriculum, they offer amazing career services / resume coaches / mentors / TA to assist you on your journey to help you along the way. This program IS a full time commitment. You need to be ready to dedicate the entirety of all 3 months to Code Platoon to get the best out of your time. If this isn't for you they also have other options like their weekend course/ part time. The course is for military service members transitioning out the military / military veterans / and military spouses so you feel right at home. If you're interested in become a software developer this is the course for you

I was not the most experienced, nor was I the least experienced. However, I feel I can safely speak for a vast majority of the class in that we learned more in the past four months than I already knew through college or previous courses. Code Platoon... Read More not only improved on what was already known or taught during its Fundamentals of Programming pre-course, but it taught through both instruction and hands-on practice how to develop full stack applications in a clean and succinct way. I have zero regrets about this course and encourage everyone who has the opportunity to engage with Code Platoon.

Walked in with almost zero experience or knowledge. Walked out with a good baseline of knowledge, and the confidence to keep learning, growing, and applying the things I've learned. The instructors know their stuff and will work with you individually... Read More to make sure you understand and don't get left behind. Lots of TAs to provide support, including after hours. The administrative staff work hard to make sure you have what you need for your next steps. Overall, fantastic experience that I'm happy to recommend.

I was lucky to find out about the VET TEC pilot program and get accepted into it. I always wanted to be a software engineer, but I didn't want to start over with a bachelor's degree in Computer Science since I already had one in Cybersecurity. When I... Read More learned about VET TEC and Code Platoon during the end of my deployment, I knew this program could help me switch careers from Cybersecurity to Software Engineering. I joined the Delta Evening & Weekend Cohort, and it was tough to manage the program's time requirements while working full-time and being in the National Guard. However, it paid off, and I got a job as a software engineer. I would definitely recommend this program - it's a solid 10/10. Pros Solid Curriculum: Code Platoon's well-rounded curriculum taught me various programming languages and software development techniques, preparing me for a software engineering career. Cons Time Management: The program was intensive, and I found it tough to balance with full-time work and other responsibilities like family and National Guard duties.

Title says it all. I received a job offer shortly after graduating Code Platoon. For veterans looking to transition into the competitive software engineering industry, I would recommend attending this boot camp. Code Platoon gives you the skills and knowledge....

I attended the Evening and Weekend program (fully remote) from January 2022 - July 2022. I had been coding pretty basic projects in sort of an IT help desk role for a couple years leading up to the program; I had no experience with modern frameworks or... Read More web applications. This program was exactly what I needed to connect the dots between my fairly basic experience and the frameworks/principles/buzzwords that you see in so many job postings. An organized curriculum and time spent with instructors turned out to be what was missing in my self-paced journey prior to CP. I also have to mention that working on projects with peers was huge upside to the program. Employers are curious how you work/code with others. CP emphasized pair programming sessions for that reason. This helped provide some context to reflect on during interviews. After graduation, the crew that helped with the job search was incredibly helpful as well. They always touched base with me and encouraged me to refine my process and keep pushing. I received an offer about 8 weeks into my job search. I wish I had joined an earlier cohort, it was a life-changing program. I'd recommend this program to anyone. Pros: * Well-designed curriculum (Python (OOP), SQL into Django ORM, Django Rest Framework, also HTML/CSS into JS and Reactjs) * Passionate and talented instructors (and TAs) * Supportive and available employment assistance * Great opportunity to network with alumni, fellow veterans, and military spouses * Fully remote * Evening and weekend program Other: * I wouldn't consider this a con necessarily, but I would point out that finishing this program (20+ hours a week) on top of working full time was pretty demanding. This may be an issue for some. 28-weeks is a long time. That said, the staff was very accommodating to those who needed it.

I absolutely loved my experience with Code Platoon. I participated remotely through the DOD SkillBridge program and was very pleasantly surprised at how included I felt in the overall course. The staff is great, the instructors are great, the curriculum... Read More structure is great --- The whole experience was awesome for me. I learned a ton, met awesome people, and feel very confident in my future at this point. I would HIGHLY recommend Code Platoon to anyone transitioning from the military that wants to pursue software development!

I recently graduated from Code Platoon's Immersive 15 Week Full Stack Software Development Course, which I attended remotely and I highly recommend it. This program turns individuals with zero coding experience to capable and knowledgable Full Stack Software... Read More Engineers. On top of that they have a dedicated career development team which actively prepare and guide you to obtaining an entry level position after you graduate. If you are a Veteran/Active Duty Member/Military Spouse looking to break into the tech industry look no further.
