Code Platoon

Code Platoon is a great coding bootcamp for vets and their spouses. I attended in person and got placed with a company through the internship program before I graduated. Pros: lots of support from the instructors, TA’s, mentors, and other students. Cons:... Read More Assessments took a while to be graded due to large class size.

Code Platoon was an overall great experience. I learned so much, and talking with senior software engineers out in the field about the curriculum, they were also impressed with the stuff we were being taught. This is a great option for veterans, active... Read More duty, or spouses. Pros - pair programming tuesdays and thursdays - great help from TAs, both during class and after class (plenty of help) - Finish a Personal Project - Do a group project at the end Cons - Was a bit disorganized at times - No remote apprenticeship options during my cohort (this may not be the case with future cohorts)

Great set of classmate and instructor. Signing up to attend the class was easy and painless. Learned a lot of new technology with supportive instructor and classmate. The full stack development program was 7 months long and within the 7 months it can... Read More take a beginner to coding to create full stack application!

I recently completed the Code Platoon Full Stack Software Engineer program (evening and weekends). During my time with this program I learned how to create a full stack web application using React.js (javascript) for the frontend and Django(Python) for... Read More the backend. The instructors and TAs are phenomenal and always available to help. The curriculum is in-depth and helps prepare you for a job once you are done.

As a recent graduate of the Weekends and Evenings cohort, I can't speak highly enough of the entire Code Platoon organization! From admission to graduation, the staff were there to help every step of the way. Coming from a completely non-technical background,... Read More the instructors were clear and concise with their lessons and always encouraged us to asked questions. It can be demanding at times with working a full-time job, but it is expected and manageable. If you're on the fence about switching careers into Software Engineering, stop thinking and join Code Platoon! You will NOT regret it!

I had the privilege to participate in Code Platoon's Evening and Weekend program these past 6.5 months. I am currently Active Duty and could not recommend it enough to other Active Duty military members, in fact I have already talked up Code Platoon to... Read More several co-workers of mine and I think at least one might apply. Even though it was time consuming, I never had a day where I did not look forward to class after work. The instructors, TA's, and curriculum were great!

Code Platoon was an absolute game changer for me. I had been teaching myself to code for several years before I took the plunge and applied to Code Platoon. While I felt I needed more time to prepare prior to applying (I had 0 experience working with... Read More tech) I I was holding myself back by not applying sooner. I was not teaching myself nearly as efficiently or effectively as Code Platoon. The curriculum was always at least one step ahead of my level of understanding and the instructors and my peers were always there to answer questions and make sure I was keeping up. The amount of knowledge I learned in 6 months is incredible, probably more useful than my degrees. Overall, I felt like Code Platoon went above and beyond in investing in my success, the curriculum was challenging but not impossible and I'm looking forward to having continued support as I begin the job hunt!

Overall, Code Platoon was a very good experience for me. I feel confident that the knowledge and materials provided to me over the past 7 months will lend a huge hand in starting my career in Full Stack Web Development. This course was thorough and the... Read More instructors were clear and concise in their lectures. They also didn’t hesitate to answer any questions that the students had. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in it. Just be sure to give 100% and you will be glad you did!

I can't recommend this program enough. I was in the first cohort of students in the part-time program and we did the program 100% remote (right in the heart of Covid). I was a little bit hesitant about doing the program remotely, but it turned out to... Read More be an awesome experience. We met 3 times a week, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and all day on Saturday for a teaching session, and then worked on projects after the lecture with help from the instructors. The only negative thing about doing the program remotely was that the internship options are not as robust as they are for in-person students (that was the case when I was a student anyways, they may have changed that now). I found a 100% remote role soon after graduating that incorporates my software skills and pays about 40% more than my previous job. If you're a veteran or spouse, this is definitely the right bootcamp for you. The scholarships make it the most affordable option, too!

This was a great experience, challenging but very well structured and its clear that the entire staff and instructors are interested and invested in providing a great learning experience and improving constantly. Highly recommend to anyone looking to... Read More break into software from the military
