"Worth It"
To keep this brief, I am a graduate of WCCI's Columbus campus. I recommend WCCI to anyone who asks and the biggest reason is that I landed a software engineering job that pays double what I made as a loan officer 3 days after I graduated. Could not have... Read More

"Definitely worth the time and money"
I needed a career change in my life and heard about WCCI on NPR. I went to a meet n greet, enjoyed it, and shortly after I was at my first day of class. I was in the part-time cohort at the Cbus branch and loved every minute of it. The instructors were... Read More

"Glad I Did It"
I took a chance by changing careers and it paid off. We Can Code IT prepared me for a job in the tech field. It was definitely intense and fast-paced but I feel like I'm ready to take anything on.

"DO NOT RECOMMEND"
I was looking for a local bootcamp and really did a lot of research, as it was a big investment. WCCI had stellar reviews, a beautiful location, and-at the time-had a money-back job placement guarantee. I was aware of the mistake I'd made by choosing... Read More

"Great Place"
I took the course from January to March 2017. It was a great course. I learned a lot from the course, not just the programming but also helping me to network and job hunting.

"Great Launch into IT Career."
Attending a coding boot camp has launched my career in IT, in roughly 4 months total. If you work hard, are proactive in the job search, and use the resources provided you too will be successful after completing this program. It is very much "what you... Read More
I landed a web developer job about a month after graduation with two other offers on the table. I owe huge thanks to the career services at WCCI and the employer relationships they provide to their students.
I had a very good experience with my instructors, who were patient to explain the curriculum which is very important when teaching students who have no background in development. One thing I would have liked to see more of from the instructors would have been better after class availability for one on one help.
The curriculum certainly provided me with the basic knowledge to launch my career as a developer. Although it moves fast at times, there is a schedule that the class needs to stick to and necessary material to cover, so I would say if you sign up for this course expect it to move FAST. My biggest downside in the curriculum would be the lack of SQL coverage and the after class study session that had little to no direction. I had high hopes of those study sessions to supplement the classroom time and that was not the case.
The career services are great. If you are proactive about job hunting and interviewing many opportunities will come your way. The most important thing is to have a positive and open mind about any opportunity that comes your way. In regards to the job guarantee, like with anything else, I would reccomend reading all of the fine print. But if you are performing well and are proactive about applying you will land a job!
If you are looking for a career change I recommend WCCI!!

"Professional and Effective."
We Can Code IT is an excellent bootcamp for anyone who is serious about learning to code. I was particularly impressed with my instructors as they were able to move at a pace that was manageable for people who were new to coding, but also challenge others... Read More

"Very Pleased"
I'm so glad I attended the We Can Code IT boot camp. The instructors are very experienced, funny, and are good about paying attention to students' emotional needs as well as their technical understanding. Career services give the strategy and knowledge... Read More
The instructors do a good job of teaching students to research and master new topics on their own (which is a very valuable skill, since tech is always evolving, and we won't be in training programs forever). They are always available and willing to help students who are struggling, offering tutoring and going above-and-beyond by staying after class and making the space available on weekends. Students are encouraged to collaborate and experience peer-programming, so no one is ever truly alone or lost for long.
I do hope that in the future the bootcamp might be extended a few weeks, because sometimes it felt like there was too much to learn in the time allotted. I also hope that they get someone local for their Columbus career services because it doesn't seem ideal to have this person commute and be physically absent (though available via web conference and phone) most of the time. Despite these issues, I couldn't be happier with my decision to attend this program.
Caveat: it is intense. It's likely that at least once you may second-guess your decision to join, or doubt your abilities, but this is normal. You will need to do a lot of reading and studying outside of the classroom, but if you do, the teachers will help you gain the skills and knowledge necessary for your success. As a frame of reference, I studied 3-4 hours every night and spent most of my Saturdays on campus. By week 5 or 6 your confidence will be much higher than when you started: heaps of new information will seem exciting instead of impossible. I had a job offer on week 9 of the 12-week boot camp.
I would definitely recommend this program to anyone who is serious about breaking into the industry.
Thanks, WCCI!

"I got a job as a developer even before graduation!"
I know that this is a cheesy and cliche way to start, but We Can Code IT changed my life. Prior to starting the program, I was working a full-time job that did not offer me the opportunity to grow as a professional. I was also on a career path that I... Read More
After considering going back to college for a CS degree, I decided to try a bootcamp instead since it would give me more hands-on experience working with code. I am SO glad I made the decision to attend We Can Code IT. I experienced a cohort that inspired me to learn and challenge myself. The entire staff was so helpful and supportive.
Thanks to the amazing career coaching I received during the program, I received an offer prior to graduation. I'm now making more money, I'm excited to go to work every day, and I have the opportunity to advance my career.
If you're ready to put in the work, then I highly recommend this program. Well worth the investment.
