| | Lynn O'Connor | I first learned about the Institute of Code two years ago while on vacation in Bali. I had no idea what kind of coding bootcamp they exactly were but I was excited to learn more. I was working full-time as a Graphic Designer and wasn't sure how to start my journey into coding. I started following the IOC on Instagram and quickly realized they were serious about coding, teaching and of course, completely legit ;) Being from Canada, I wanted to make sure that traveling all the way to Bali (for a second time) would be worth my energy, time and money. I also really wanted to make sure I would be learning real-world skills from the ground up.
The IOC did not disappoint. I started with very little knowledge of HTML and CSS and in 10 days completely learned how to build a website. And not only how to build a website properly, but beautiful as well. I’m not going to lie—it was intense. There was a lot of knowledge to wrap my head around, but surrounding myself with the right people in the right environment made it completely possible.
I can actually say I learned a new skill set which I continue to grow and build on each and every day since taking their bootcamp. The knowledge Tina and her team bring to the table are second to none. With their support and the amazing community you build during and after the bootcamp, learning to code from the IOC has definitely been one of my most rewarding experiences. |
