CodingNomads

Before taking this course I had a very rudimentary knowledge of Machine Learning and data science concepts but I felt overwhelmed trying to get my head around said concepts on my own, and I had absolutely no idea how to apply them. I saw this course being... Read More offered by CodingNomads and since I’d successfully learned Python with them previously, I took this course too. There are many online bootcamps in the world today, but there are some very specific traits that set CodingNomads apart in my mind. First, CodingNomads instruction is structured for those who wish specifically to be location independent professionals. This might not seem like such a revelation in 2023, but it is very much worth noting here because their programs were designed with this idea at the center since even before the COVID pandemic brought “work from home” into the mainstream. It wasn’t something they just adapted their programs for after the fact, which is central in my view if your goal is more than just becoming a data science engineer, but also seeking the freedom that location-independence can bring. Second, it is one thing to have capable staff with years of experience and a very complete knowledge of their trade, as many bootcamps do. But to be able to teach this in a way that is engaging and will “stick” is a different matter entirely. My impression throughout the course was that the instructor possessed specific expertise in teaching highly technical material to adults who lack a background in this field. This is absolutely indispensable because a new field can be very intimidating if you have zero knowledge a-priori on this topic, as I did. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, where CodingNomads really excels is in their excellent mentoring program. I have had the pleasure of meeting (online) a few of them, and it is clear, in my view, that they are chosen not just for their knowledge and experience but also for their capacity to provide encouragement and support to those who really want to learn this material. This is important for previously stated reasons, but also because the value of having a person who knows the trade to help you get your head around Machine Learning concepts and problem solving techniques cannot be overstated. The best part, for me, was that the mentor was there to help figure out your own solution by applying what was learned, not to give you the answers. It also prepares you because there are seldom “right answers” when it comes to Machine Learning and Data Science, with process and practice evolving constantly. Summing up, the instructor for this course knows their material and how to teach it in an effective way. If that is not enough, CodingNomads has excellent mentors what will help you to figure it out for yourself and provide invaluable support and encouragement throughout the process. Whether you are starting fresh on your first career track, or you have already braved the job market and climbed the career ladder and are now seeking a different approach, CodingNomads will get you there with a helping hand. I can’t recommend them enough.

Balancing work and learning Java was a real challenge, but the adaptability of Coding Nomads made it much more manageable. What distinguishes Coding Nomads is their special, adjustable model. They provide the option to audit the course, giving full access... Read More to materials, labs, forums, and even a certificate for a surprisingly low cost. Require mentorship? Join that program at your leisure. This approach fit perfectly with my learning pace, enabling me to understand intermediate Java far more quickly than when I was trying to learn alone. Even though I chose to learn independently, I've always felt supported. The Coding Nomads team is always there for code reviews and to answer any questions. I've finished the Java Programming course, and I'm excited to tackle the advanced Java + Spring Framework course next. It's apparent that the curriculum is thoughtfully designed to set students on the path to a career in backend development. It offers a practical, career-focused perspective that feels more relevant than many traditional Computer Science degrees. I highly recommend Coding Nomads to anyone aiming to master Java or take their skills to the next level. This bootcamp has provided me with not just knowledge but a personal and engaging learning experience. If you're considering entering the backend development field without a financial commitment, Coding Nomads is the perfect option.

I joined CodingNomads in March 2022, eager and hungry to learn Python programming. My thirst for knowledge was met with a supportive team, an immensely rich and well-organized course that broke down hard concepts into small bits. At the end of the course,... Read More a year later, I felt confident enough to take up new challenges and put to test my new skills. I applied for programming roles. Thanks to codingNomads' support and recommendation, I was accepted as an Engineering For Change Fellow supporting Bamcore in automating workflows and processes. Thank you CodingNomads!

I did a lot of research before choosing CodingNomads, and I'm so glad that I ended up choosing them! I didn't know anything about Java when I signed up. The curriculum is laid out very well and the videos are very helpful. The best thing though is the... Read More 1 on 1 mentorship that you get. It's supposed to be once a week but they are always more than willing to meet up more or even just a quick call to help you get through any issues you may be stuck on. Also the CodingNomads community is super nice and they are always willing to help. Honestly anyone can google and youtube their way to learning a new language, so for these bootcamps, it's really the mentoring that separates them. I've talked to a few people from other bootcamps and they said that they didn't get much attention from the teachers/mentors and if you have questions they make you feel like you're bothering them. And I know the cost of some of those bootcamps is at least double the cost of CodingNomads. On top of the top quality mentoring you get here, towards the end of your curriculum you get help with getting ready to look for a job. They help set up your resume, LinkedIn profile, gitHub, etc. They really do want you to succeed and want you to land that first job. If I ever decide to learn a new language, It'll be through CodingNomads!

I enrolled in CodingNomads while already holding a full-time technical position in software. The CodingNomad mentors were able to tailor a specific curriculum for the development needs of my company and help me enhance my current role. The flexible schedule,... Read More professional mentors, and modern/career-focused curriculum made CodingNomads the obvious choice for me and I would highly recommend them to other professionals looking to gain development expertise.

I recently (March 2023) completed a Java Professional Career Track course with CodingNomads, and I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. The course is put together by a group of fantastic people and true professionals, who provided... Read More a well-selected and thoroughly explained curriculum. The video lectures were especially helpful and complemented the written material perfectly. But what really stood out to me was the personal approach that CodingNomads provided, along with their 24/7 online support. As someone in the middle of a major career change, I was pleasantly surprised with how much they went above and beyond to help me succeed. And I did! I got exactly what I was promised and was able to start my transition into a coding career. Throughout the process, the people at CodingNomads were sincere, honest, and transparent. From the very beginning, they showed a genuine passion for what they do and a commitment to helping me to succeed. Now they are helping me to find a job. Overall, I highly recommend CodingNomads to anyone looking to gain new skills and transition into a new career at any age (I’m well over 40)!

I was lucky enough to have my company sponsor this bootcamp, but I was worried about finding the time outside of work to make progress. My mentor did an amazing job of tailing the course to my needs and interests. I had some prior experience in DS + ML,... Read More so I moved through the online courses pretty quickly. My mentor then went above and beyond to bring new and challenging topics to our weekly meetings to keep me engaged, interested, and educated. He also gave great career tips and advice, despite me not actively looking for work. This is the most effective way I've learned anything since college!

I feel like I made the best decision choosing CodingNomads, after comparing multiple online bootcamps. Here’s why: You start off by re-learning “how to learn” and that is super important when you are going into a new field and/or learning online. There... Read More is also a lot of content that you get through with the program, but it is structured well so that you don’t feel overwhelmed. And then there’s the constant support you get from the community, with experienced mentors and alumni always happy to answer questions. I would recommend this bootcamp especially if you have no experience and are looking to build a good base. Their programs also have really good and practical financing options, so, depending on what you want to achieve, there's a model for you.

From the several programs offered by Coding nomads I entered the data science career track, which is designed around three main topics, programming, databases, and data science fundamentals. The material is covers from the fundamentals up to advanced... Read More topics in programming, so is great for beginners that want to pursue a career in data science. As for experience developers that want to transition to a data science career but lack the knowledge in ds topics,this program is also a great opportunity. I choose to enter this program because I wanted to learn the fundamentals of data science and machine learning, before entering the program I was an enthusiast of data science and ml and used to spent my time in sites like Kaggle, coursera etc. ( I was self taught). At some point I decided to take this more seriously and realize an important lack of understanding in some of the fundamentals. Looked online for some programs and eventually get in contact with Coding nomads staff. Coding nomads have an amazing learning platform, incredible supporting community, but in my opinion the best part is the amazing and qualified mentors. You can learn a lot from them, they can help you to do great data science projects and build a strong portfolio. For everyone that is looking to start a career in data science I strongly recommend Coding Nomads program.

I write this after having accepted a job offer, shortly after graduating! CodingNomads Java Career Track has allowed me to switch careers in an enjoyable and challenging way. CodingNomads bootcamp is so much more than the standard bootcamp each student... Read More is known personally to the CN leaders and through the mentored programme there is an opportunity to get help on issues (support through the week as well as during 1:1), talk about the industry as well as forum to discuss and plan capstone project. The courses cover all the key topics (video and text based with exercises throughout), which prepared me well for interview. There is also a careers service also, for final prep and polish of the CV. Couldn’t have been happier with the course and delighted to have been finally able to make the switch. Thank you CodingNomads.
