"Excellent experience"
I had a wonderful experience at CodeCraft. The teachers were definitely the best part. We had 3 teachers and they all brought a different perspective and knowledge base. I learned so much from them and they were very available outside of class hours.... Read More
I was able to get a full-time job as a UX designer 2 months after graduating which was amazing. Meredith, the career services woman, was incredibly helpful in the job search process.

"Very Happy with CodeCraft School Experience"
CodeCraft School of Technology combined many of the elements I was looking for in a coding bootcamp: smaller class sizes, affordability, reasonable commitment time, and a staff that's invested in students' success in the classroom and after graduation.... Read More
It's important to note that the course does move quickly and there are times you will have to study concepts outside of class as there is only a short amount of time to cover it during class hours, but, if you are willing to really make a commitment to the course for the 12 weeks it's in session, you will have no problem.
CodeCraft also has a great career services team. As you move through the cohort, they recommend and make time for networking events, schedule field trips, and bring in industry professionals to help you make connections in the community. They also continue to work with you even after graduation, helping build your resume and cover letter, giving mock interviews, etc. If you want help and support, they are there to provide it.
Overall, I was very happy with my experience at CodeCraft. Just make sure to do your research and meet some of the staff ahead to time to make sure the program will be a good fit for you and your expectations!

"Mediocre at best"
I was part of the first cohort - so I was well aware that I had to take everything with a grain of salt as the CodeCraft team was still learning how to put together a course.
They were very disorganized when we started. There was a lot of talk, and not... Read More
There was barely any support provided for post-graduation job search. There seems to be a lot of turn around in staff within the company, which I think might have been one of the reasons why the post-graduation support was lacking.
I'm sure the course is at a much better place now since they have more experience and have been around for 1.5 years. Unfortunately for me, I happened to be part of their first cohort, and was essentially a guinea pig.

"Firehose challenge"
As with any program or course that lasts only 10 weeks, be prepared to challenged in a BIG way. Erty, the lead instructor, and Sarah, the assistant instructor, do an impeccable job of teaching the important basics of the MEAN stack. They stay after-hours... Read More
My suggestion is don't apply to this program unless you have a firm grasp of JavaScript fundamentals, because otherwise you will be struggling with understanding the basics in class, when instead you could be focusing on Erty's golden nuggets that he teaches during the course. What I truly love about this course (besides the great staff and instructors) is that you develop projects from scratch, meaning there is no template that you are handed and build upon. Instead, you start off from the absolute beginning, meaning you sketch out the website on paper, create a Minimum Viable Product framework, and build the codebase. In two instances, one during the hackathon and the other for my final project, I either worked with a team or on my own, to build a product from scratch. That is an aspect of this program that very few other programs can claim, and I am proud that I was a part of that. And I am sure that prospective employers will look at that and lend me more credibility as a junior web developer candidate!
I have to be honest: I had some grueling days where I wanted to give up, but the staff, including Eric Wallen, Campus Manager, and Meredith Rafter, Career Services guru, and my fellow coder buddies kept me going. Don't be surprised if you're in this program and you become overwhelmed. Expect to be overwhelmed. Expect to be dreaming about coding at night. Expect to feel like you ass is being handed to you. But all those things only prove that you are truly learning. And in the end you look back and see that it was all worth it. Don't be fooled, though--this 10-week course is only the beginning of the journey. But at least you started the journey on a good foot with the incredible team from CodeCraft. Go for it!
