CodingNomads

If you are looking for a great bootcamp and a career in web development, look no further: Coding Nomads are the best! What separates Coding Nomads from other bootcamps is the relatively affordable price and the one-on-one mentoring approach. All bootcamps... Read More teach material that can easily be found online for free or very cheap. So it comes down to how they teach the material and how they help you grow professionally. My mentor always used our one-hour-per-week coding session efficiently and stayed in touch throughout the week, helping me with problems I wasn't able to figure out on my own. They would even suggest hopping on a brief call to figure out a problem. Career support is hands-on and I think it's the best part about this bootcamp after the awesome mentoring - these people want you to get a job and will do their best to help you find one! The Coding Nomads slack and forum communities are very warm and friendly, and overall Coding Nomads feels like a small group of people who are working towards a better future. It's quite different from some of the bigger, more corporate bootcamps out there. Coding Nomads also offers courses in backend web development in Java and Python. Backend web development is my passion so I really enjoyed taking the Java course. I will always be grateful that I found Coding Nomads and how these guys changed my life for the better!

CodingNomads is a business created by people with a vision that coding is not only a tool for a great career, but also for a fulfilling life. Mastering the trade can lead to financial and location freedom. In line with this, the course is very reasonably... Read More priced. It is evident throughout any type of contact with my mentor or any other member of the team that they really love what they are doing. The support and the eagerness to help and to see student's progress goes far beyond than simply doing their job. As a result, the learning experience is enhanced with the feeling that I have people genuinely committed to my success. The layout of the online course allows for flexibility and tailored pace depending on personal progress, student's dedication and general life situation. The mentorship program revolves around the student's needs instead of the opposite. Despite the friendly approach and the sense of free spirit, this is a very professional setup. The content of the course is relevant and real-world-oriented with frequent updates to keep up-to-date with the latest progress in the field. It is easy to follow and I am very happy with the difficulty progression. I was assigned to a mentor with professional programming experience. My mentor is very supportive and responds very quickly to any questions outside our meeting times, which saves time from the weekly calls. The calls themselves are run very efficiently. During the calls my mentor is very patient and takes time to explain things properly, sometimes more than once if I need to. However, he makes very efficient use of our call time and always keeps the call focused on the task and on what matters. And here lies for me the difference with a self-taught attempt. It is very easy to get side tracked to less important concepts or smaller projects, but working alongside a professional programmer I get the vital information of what is truly important, where I should stay focused, and what is expected by the industry. From the most important functional themes to the fine details, like how the code should be spaced. The feedback and input from a professional can make the difference and save months. In conclusion, I would very highly recommend CodingNomads to anyone who is considering joining a coding Bootcamp or an online course with a mentor.

I went into this course knowing nothing about web development or coding and I came out with a well rounded knowledge of python and computer operations. The course was difficult but taught me a lot on how to research on my own, which often led to sparking... Read More my curiosity in other computer operations.... The python course taught more than just basic python fundamentals, such as git, bash, mysql and more. Also, i loved how the final project allowed us to choose what we were interested in. I have begun a cyber security course and I feel a little ahead of the game because of the python course. My only suggestion would be to include windows operations into the course work because it seemed the learning material was geared for Mac users, and since mac and pc have slightly different controls, it caused me to spend extra time researching how to do the things on PC. Overall, the codingnomad team are dedicated to their students and if you ever have any issues or questions, they are right there to help. Their courses allow you to work at your own pace, which i greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend.

I took a month of mentorship and my mentor Martin did a very good job. I learned a lot. I needed help with a code institute project. Code institutes quality of teaching material is not of a very high standard always, but i am impressed with the level... Read More of quality and help i recieved from Coding Nomads. They really care and that is a big plus. Code institute has maybe grown to big to quick. So i am glad i found Coding Nomads. I can highly recommend them.

After trying to learn Python on my own and with Udemy courses in the past and struggling to stick with it, I decided to go with a boot camp with the hope that the accountability and structure would get me through to the end. I found Codingnomads on switchup... Read More and decided to schedule an intro call with Ryan, the founder to see if it would be a good fit. Ryan answered all of my questions and put my mind at ease so I decided to take the plunge. I chose to take the course with the mentored option and was paired with a mentor within a few days. The good course content along with weekly mentor sessions has been the difference in allowing me to progress and I'm well on my way to completing the course! The staff, group of mentors and fellow students are an awesome, supportive community to be part of. No question is a stupid one and there's always someone there to help with questions, simple and complex. Very glad I decided to choose Coding Nomads and will definitely be doing another course here.

When I was searching for a coding bootcamp I was a little overwhelmed at the sheer multitude of options. I tried a few trials at other bootcamps, but wasn't convinced. What I noticed right away about Coding Nomads was that it wasn't a huge operation where... Read More I was simply a number. They worked with me to tailor my experience to my needs, and were super helpful throughout the entire process of getting started. My mentor is very responsive, knowledgeable, invested in my ultimate career success, and always willing to tailor our sessions to my needs/questions. In addition to mentoring sessions Coding Nomads regularly puts out videos on different topics to expand your knowledge beyond the specific course you are taking. The Coding Nomads course content is designed well and with the mindset of preparing you to finish the course with all of the tools you need to land a programming position and immediately contribute to your team. Each lesson provides opportunities to dive deeper into the content and gives both video/audio as well as written explanations of the concepts. The lessons also typically include a bit of humor which makes the experience a little more fun. I haven't completed my course yet, though I am at the end, but I am confident they will continue to impress me in the future with their job support. Overall, it has been a great experience where I feel my journey is tailored to my needs, and I am so happy I chose Coding Nomads!

I had made a decision after the pandemic to pursue a career in data science and analytics after a 20-year career in high-tech product management and marketing. Although I had Coursera certifications in Data Science/R/SQL and had done a fair amount of... Read More hands-on modeling and prediction, my coding skills were less than decent. I wasn't sure if I should get a masters or try a boot camp. Thankfully I went the latter route, as it materialized into meaningful job opportunities much sooner - and without big expense. However, CodingNomads not only made me proficient in Python in record time (4 weeks), but their mentoring service made my data science experience in the program incredibly practical. I had begun interviewing for sr data scientist roles within weeks of starting the program based on precise career advice and coaching. These interviews are backed up by practical, real-world projects that showcase my understanding of data science applicable to product management, marketing, and other business-oriented roles. Now it's just a matter of time (and effort) before landing that first role in this new field for me.

I have been coding for a long time, but I mostly learned on the fly for various research projects. I recently decided that I wanted to learn some computer science fundamentals (data structures, algorithms, OOP) in a more formal context, so I reached out... Read More to CodingNomads because of the high ratings, low cost, and emphasis on travel and remote work. The communication I had with the instructor was above and beyond what I expected, even from much more expensive and well known companies. The instructional videos were clear and up to date, and there was a lot of insightful pedagogical content, including tips about self care and time management. Highly recommended, especially for new coders who can commit the time to a well organized beginner-to-advanced curriculum and appreciate actual mentorship.

I joined the Machine Learning course with Gilad and I can honestly say that it was a fantastic experience. The mentored sessions are incredibly flexible regarding their schedule and also pausing for number of weeks with the sessions was no problem at... Read More all. I could focus on anything that was important to me during these sessions - Gilad was extremely helpful in every case. Even outside of these session Gilad always helped me with issues I had during the week. The Jupyter notebooks for the course are extremely well done in many regards (good coding, good structure, good topics, easy to follow) and were just a lot of fun to work through. The videos accompanying the course are of great help to understand new concepts and are doing a fantastic job at explaining everything in easy to understand terms. For many years I wanted to get into machine learning but never got to it. I am a PhD student and machine learning was not yet important for my work. With the high working hours in my job I needed a weekly push to start, while still being able to spend time on the course as flexibly as possible. The online course format of CodingNomads was perfect for that purpose! The course is based on fantastic jupyter notebooks with supplementary videos explaining everything and quizzes you can take - all of which you work through during the week. If you choose to do the mentored course, you get a 1h session with a mentor - for me almost always it was ~5-10min longer than that, never less. The mentored sessions were the perfect push for me and Gilad really did a fantastic job focusing on whatever was important for me. Importantly, the timing of the meeting was incredibly flexible - which was just awesome for me. Pausing for a number of weeks and adding these sessions to the end of the course - no problem at all. Changing the time or day of the course - no worries. Since I had quite a bit of programming experience prior to the course, I finished with the course material ahead of time. But Gilad immediately pointed me towards another course to work through (about deep learning) and also put me in contact with some people to address specific math questions I had for deep learning research. The course he recommended actually is quite a famous course but I found the programming there less good on many levels than the jupyter notebooks of the CodingNomads course - great job, Gilad! In addition, he also helped me improve my IDE for coding and gave recommendations for implementing testing more thoroughly. Thanks a lot for this fantastic course which was exactly what I needed!

CodingNomads seemed unmatched in terms of personalization as I did a deep search for schools. My experience around Machine Learning meant I didn’t need to learn everything and they set up a great plan for me. I started working with Gilad who would be... Read More my DSML mentor and the whole experience was fantastic. I moved through Python and Data science in 2 months total and started working on deep learning before I graduated! I’m looking at my continuing education and working with modeling uncertainty with CodingNomads and I would recommend this school to students at all levels of coding
