Code Platoon

Code Platoon is an amazing resource for veterans and veteran spouses. The program and instructers were top tier, but their commitment to make the camp accessible to any vet/spouse who wants to join is what impressed me most. We were taught industry standard... Read More technologies, and though it was at times like drinking from a fire hose, the support system made sure we were set up to succeed.

Pros: Learned a lot in a short time, prepared to apply for some high paying positions, one lesson builds on the previous one, awesome instructors and students and teacher assistance. Lots of materials to prepare for the application and the class itself.... Read More Can't really think of any cons.

Code Platoon is honest when they tell you it will be difficult, but you’re stacking a whole lot of knowledge into a few months. Regardless, it was the best decision of my life. I went from level 0 knowledge to being able to create fullstack applications,... Read More and now have an amazing apprenticeship as a software engineer. The instructors were awesome, the curriculum aligns with the industry, and I made some of the best friends I have - all while being remote. You’re going to have to put in work, that’s a given. But it was a blast and I couldn’t have imagined a better experience. Not only do you learn A LOT, but you also get to meet industry professionals and mentors to help with interviews, your resume, and your learning styles. Then upon graduating if you didn’t participate in the internship program, you get resources from their career services professionals to assist in the job hunt. This isn’t a bootcamp where they give you some online tasks then that’s it - there’s lecture, assessments, projects, 2 instructors, and a plethora of TAs you can talk to both during the day and after class

Code platoon was the first time in a classroom setting that I truly felt I was being taught the skills I would leave that room and use in a workplace. I have a BS in Electrical Engineering and I feel that I learned more practical knowledge in the 14 weeks... Read More in this course that I did in the 4 years earning that degree. The staff and instructors push the students to better themselves, continuously evolve the curriculum with feedback from their students and are a group of people who genuinely have a desire to help their students succeed. From Basic coding to Full Stack Application Development to resume writing and interview prep this class made what was a stressful separation from the military and gave me the tools that have landed me at the beginning of a promising career. Thank you Code Platoon! The staff are by far the most genuinely positive and supportive group of people I have ever had the pleasure of being mentored by. Learning Software Development is a skill that requires a student to feel comfortable asking questions and this staff has created an environment where there truly are no "bad questions" just learning opportunities.

Code Platoon's Bootcamp is a non-profit organization designed to help military veterans or their spouses transition into the tech industry. Code Platoon's cohort offers plenty of options to help pay for tuition such as the Post 9/11 GI Bill, VET TEC and... Read More other scholarships. The staff and TAs are very knowledgeable on the subject and offers flexible courses to help fit your schedule. Once enrolled, you must treat this cohort like a full time job if you want to succeed. The staff and TAs are willing to help you succeed both during the cohort and post. I cannot recommend any other coding bootcamp other than Code Platoon if you're a veteran or a veteran spouse.

Attending Code Platoon was a great experience. The instructors and executive director are always looking to make the program better with each cohort and it shows in the resulting course. As you would expect, the pace of learning is very quick and sometime... Read More hard to keep up with. But, there are lots of people willing to help. My cohort of 30 students had 2 instructors, 4 intern TAs (that were in class with us), and 9 volunteer TAs (for after hours). By the end, I felt confident about being able to write a full-stack application.

An extremely professional organization, dedicated to making every day of the course useful and productive. Course material is 90% learning things you'll need to get through interviews then hit the ground running and 10% "here is the world of coding" so...
