Software Development Academy

I graduated from SDA's Python course in May 2021 and looking back at those 9 months of intense studies I know that I made the right choice. The staff at SDA was always very helpful and supported us all the way to the end. As for the job search you also... Read More get support after graduation which is a great value of this course. The trainers are true professionals who put in a lot of time and effort to make sure the students understand the topics. If you decide to go for the full remote mode then be prepared to share your screen as you will be doing this a lot all through your studies. Those trainers will make you work hard and everybody needs to participate so no sleeping at the desk :-). The more active you are as a student the more value you get out of this course. So don't be shy and ask questions! Since the pace of the course is relatively fast I would advise to take a quick basic course before signing up. This will help you in the beginning of the course to grasp all that new knowledge a lot better. Building a strong foundation right from the start is crucial to make the studies ahead run smoother and get 100% out of this course. Make studying a good daily habit of yours and be consistent! Also, start building your own projects right from the beginning and put all that new awesome knowledge into practice. As for my final project I built a fully functional e-commerce store and never in a million years did I imagine myself doing that! But SDA gave me the right tools and the rest was up to me. Thank you, SDA, I am very grateful! :-)

Great trainers, everything explained very well, a lot of useful training materials. Support after the end of the course at the highest level, and the help in creating a professional CV is invaluable. Everything was good. Huge thanks goes to academy! Hope... Read More to learning here again. :)

When I enrolled the Java Remote course in September 2020, I wasn't very sure about the benefits of a boot-camp (especially a remote one) for a person without any previous programming knowledge like myself. Now, I can tell without a doubt, that it was... Read More the best learning-related decision of my life. It really was! The whole SDA team, the project manager, the trainers, they were amazing. Now, I love this field due to them. They made me feel very powerful during the coding sessions, they were always prepared to answer our questions during these sessions and beyond them. I am 44 now, I worked for over 20 years in Sales, but now, with the help from Software Development Academy, I am 100% sure that I want and I will switch to this beautiful field for good. Thank you, guys!

I didn't even imagine myself learning a programming, even less backend programming but SDA made it possible. I've come a long way since I started and I feel more confident than before writing code on my own , practical and final project were definitely... Read More a huge leap for me. 'Java from Scratch' gives a really solid foundation on top of which to develop further. My only suggestions is that instead of teaching backend and frontend technologies separately they should be tied together into one huge project so that the students would better grasp the needs for various frameworks, libraries and the connection in between them.

A course that will provide you with a lot of experience. Be sure that you will have to spend many hours in your free time to repeat the material and learn new things, but it is really worth it if you want to enter the world of IT. Most trainers are highly... Read More developed programmers. If you are totally new to programming then you better read something on the internet about it first, unless you have good thinking. Very helpful support, including people who help with CV and finding her first job, special greetings to Mrs. Małgorzata B. You can't really complain about this school and I'm one of the more demanding people.

For me, the course for Automation Tester was very pleasing. During few months I learnt a massive amount of practical knowledge about using tools for testing and development of all sort of software. Almost every weekend was meeting a new teacher from different... Read More part of IT world, game developer, software tester manager, QA tester leader, ISTQ coach and so on. We learnt practical way of finding, reporting and solving the bugs and errors in software. We learnt how to be technicaly correct and how to expand our connections regarding the linkedin and other platforms and how to gain experience fast and efficient. From my perspective even if someone went there and paid the least amount of attention he/she would be able to learn how to use the tools and how to start the IT adventure. Also the people from SDA are very helpful and will help any way they can.

After my graduation way back in 2005 with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, I did not have the chance to enter the IT industry in software development. The closest role that I have when dealing with computers was graphic design and technical support... Read More representative in a contact center for Dell. I've always wanted to go back to software development but since it was already quite some time that I actually code in front of a compiler, I cannot adapt to the new technologies that are being used today. I also tried learning through youtube watching free courses but they are saying also some terms that I also need to research and understand as well or sometimes it's not complete because most of them are just an introduction to a paid course. It was in June 2020 that I stumbled with Software Development Academy on Facebook as one of the sponsored ads in my feed caught my attention. We were the first batch of enrollees here in the Philippines and the course that they were offering that time is JAVA from Scratch Course. During the introduction webinar, they explained that the goal of SDA is to teach us how to be the best Junior Java developer and the program would also help us get a job after graduation. At that time, I was really at the peak of my career as an ESL teacher and a trainer. I can now afford their program. They even offered me an installment program so that it won't hurt me financially. I was really blown away by the lessons that we learned during the training. The trainers are from reputable companies and they are always open when we ask questions. The modules are ladderized wherein we started learning the fundamentals, advance, relational database, and on the latter part we learned about frameworks and REST APIs. They also make sure that our final project is at par with real-life applications. [E-commerce, Booking System and Training Management System just to name a few]. As of today, June 5th, They are helping me to get my first job in software development. They are helping me create my CV, LinkedIn profile, GitHub, GitLab, preparing through mock interviews and they are even endorsing me to their company partners. I'm really excited about what lies ahead on my journey as being a junior Java/Software developer. I really considered this Bootcamp as the best investment for my career!

I was casually browsing my Facebook newsfeed around this time last year when I stumbled upon an ad from SDA. It said in the ad that it'll be offering a free webinar for programming enthusiasts. By the way, I have always considered myself a technology... Read More enthusiast, especially the technology that of behind computers that's why the ad was so interesting for me. So, I took the chance to attend it and got overwhelmed by the opportunities awaiting someone who wants to be a software developer. Cutting the story short, I enrolled in the remote course they offer called "Java from Scratch". It was an awesome experience and definitely, it made a huge upgrade on my skills and knowledge. Computer programming was never in my field of expertise since I spent almost 8 years of my life in a Catholic seminary. Yeah, I was a Roman Catholic seminarian back then. Without being said, I learned so much from the course. Java was not the only thing taught to us. Popular frameworks and stack of technologies were included in the package such as Angular, Spring Boot, and many more. What's more rewarding is that even before I finished the course I already got hired and offered a position as a Software Engineer. SDA did really great in helping me find my way to the IT world. Kudos!

If you’re new to programming, SDA is the best place to start. Awesome team, great technical and communication skills displayed by the tutors, in other words, a very efficient and friendly environment to start your journey as a front-end or back-end developer.... Read More
