Tony and David were fantastic teachers and extremely knowledgeable, able to explain the topics clearly and provide additional detail when sought out; great people and great to discuss tech with. The small class sizes made for a personal experience, where our group of students quickly became a family. We collaborated on work to support each other and then also had plenty of fun.

All the learning is set on the back-drop of fun and adventure on the island, which has a range of things to offer - beaches, good food, parties, resorts, waterfalls.

Nothing short of life changing.

Hey there! Let me tell you about the incredible time I had at Haiku Academy. This coding bootcamp was an absolute blast! During the seven-week program, we dove headfirst into full-stack web development. We learned JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, MongoDB... Read More and more. The instructors really knew their stuff and made sure we were up-to-date with the latest in-demand tech skills. But you know what made it even better? The awesome classmates I had the pleasure of learning with. We shared many fun memories and supported each other on our journeys to become programmers. And let's not forget the location—Koh Phangan was our tropical playground! On our days off, we hit the beaches, explored the island, and soaked up the incredible nature. It felt like the perfect environment to learn something challenging and new. If you're looking for a coding journey, Haiku Academy is where it's at. The curriculum is top-notch, the friendships you'll make are priceless, and the paradise backdrop is unforgettable. Haiku Academy gets my enthusiastic recommendation, forsure!

Writting this after taking a long time investigating the different bootcamp options feels great! The Tortuga Coders bootcamp was amazing! I choose it for the language (JS) and the location (Thailand) and I was impressed by both of them and more. The small... Read More size of the batch made you feel in a family, learning and sharing together all the time. In the 2 months I spent on the course I made friends for life. Besides that my understanding of programming, infrastructure and implementation increased a lot. I recommend this course for beginners or people that feels that learninig programming is overwhelming. You will not regret doing this bootcamp at all. I don't believe there is any other better course in terms of quality and price relation (specially for the amazing living standard that Koh Phangan offers to you).

At first, I thought this bootcamp was too good to be true. Everything was in my check list: location, price, in person classes and change of career path for beginners. Since the first part of the bootcamp, the 4 weeks online course, I realized that the... Read More classes were well though and organized. Then the second part, the 7 weeks in person classes, was like a dream. I met these amazing people who we were all together trying to figure out what to do in life or just trying to learn a new career path. Having a small group makes you part of a new family. The content of the course is incredibly well planned, the projects you work on are there to help you progress little by little and by the time you look back you won't believe how much you've learnt. It is overwhelming at some point, but Tony and David were there to help all the time. I highly recommend this course to anyone looking for a Full Stack Dev Bootcamp!

Tortuga Coders was such an amazing Bootcamp and great experience! Tony was an awesome Instructor and we learnt so much every day, Koh Phangan and La Casa were the perfect Locations for this course and the other people in the group were amazing - I would... Read More highly recommend this course to everyone. I should have done this years ago

Tortuga Coders was the perfect coding bootcamp for me. First i didnt expect to cover so much in such a short time, the instructor is awesome! he is knowledgable, patient, and very passionate about programming. Second the bootcamp located on a beautiful... Read More and simple island right off the ocean. the class size was a little smaller, for someone like me with no technical background, it was great to have time to understand the subject. The best part was the time spent after coding for 8 hours, you can grab a beer, play pool, take in the surroundings, new culture, and bonding with the group, you all came for a common goal. you learn from each other.

I was lost in my life and didn't know what to do after 2 years of being a R&D Engineer. I decided to change my career to become a web developer and I chose Tortuga Coders. From that time, I enrolled in a web development bootcamp on Udemy in order to gain... Read More some knowledge before the bootcamp but it wasn't enough. Tortuga Coders is really an amazing bootcamp. The Bootcamp gives you the key and all the technologies you need to know to become a junior full stack web developer. You are literally coding in Paradise, the location is just perfect and this is perfect to learn in a peaceful environment (while enjoying parties and other events in the evening). The bootcamp price is not as expensive as the other IT bootcamp. Regarding learning, Tony, the lead instructor, helps you when you are struggling, allowing you to move forward and learn from your mistakes. The curriculum is also well-structured with all the information you need to know to get started for your new job. If you are motivated and put all your energy into it, you will learn a large amount of knowledge and feel confident to find a job. I learned the method of how professional web developers code, something very valuable that it's hard to find online. By the way, this bootcamp doesn't give you access to contact or meetings for finding a job, however you will be prepared because you will learn to create a CV and implement your LinkedIn which allows you to be less stressed while searching for a job in your new field. I totally recommend Tortuga Coders for those who want to change career in web developer

I signed up for the bootcamp because I got tired of always having to Google things to eventually figure out something I wanted to do either for work or a personal project and thought maybe I would make faster progress if I actually knew what I was doing.... Read More During the interview with Tony I have to say that I was immediately impressed there was no hard sell it was a simple conversation about me and why I was looking for a bootcamp. We talked about the curriculum and his approach to teaching and setting my expectations for the bootcamp. As far as location goes, well I couldn’t think of a more perfect place for a bootcamp. Perfect place to take you away from distractions of home and work. To allow you to concentrate on the course and when you’re finished for the day, you’re on an amazing island with lots to do and even more to see. Very pleased about the small class size allowing everyone to get some 1 on 1 time with Tony and he made sure everyone got the right advice to help them along instead of simply giving us the answers. In summary I would say that you get exactly what you put into the bootcamp, Tony's knowledge and experience was shared freely and in some cases we even went beyond the planned curriculum and were able to learn other subjects we were interested in. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone interested in taking a bootcamp to further themselves and learn from a true expert.

From my point of view I would say that camp offers the combination of learning how to code in a super isolated place, so you can focus at the tasks you have to deal with. And at the same time you live in a place that can change your mindset about your... Read More life and your future. I really recommend to everyone who is adventurous and would like to learn coding in a different way. P.s. At the begging I was curious about the camp but now I truly believe that was one of the best experiences in my life.

I studied business informatics and had to pause it for some years. To get back on track, I decided to attend this course. Compared to what I've learned in university I truly can say "Tortuga Coders" is an A-class programming Bootcamp. It's a perfect class... Read More for beginners but also fits well for people with basic experiences. Based on the state-of-the-art language JavaScript, I learned how to code the front and backend of a web app including a database. Each day started with a lecture followed by exercises to deepen what we've learned. Besides that, we developed different projects and got a sense of achievement. Our teacher was amazing and caught everyone at their level. It's fascinating how the environment allowed me to work hard and gives me the feeling of having a vacation at the same time. I met a lot of interesting people working as digital nomads which opened a new world with this kind of lifestyle for me. The island also is special in terms of nature, food and free-time activities. I'll for sure be back next Winter.
