| | Erica | I attended the Institute of Code's February 2017 bootcamp in Bali. I'm not the type of person who can just switch off and relax by the pool, so for me, it was the perfect balance of travel experience and professional development. Code hard, play hard.
The venue, course structure, content, mentors, follow up support and my fellow classmates all exceeded my expectations.
I built a site in 10-days that I'm now using to run a new business stream, and am about to start building another for a client's business. I've also learnt valuable skills about the fundamentals (and some advanced techniques) in HTML, CSS and JavaScript that I've been able to apply daily in other web work and troubleshooting etc on existing sites.
It was genuinely the best investment I've ever made in my professional development, and in myself. I will be forever grateful to Tina and her team. |
| | G | IOC opened my eyes to the world of well, being able to work and travel the world. I went there not knowing exactly what I was doing and left inspired with a whole new business perspective and a sleek new agency website to match.
I ended up living in Bali for 9 months after attending the course, and have been able to support myself through the business I began to build while attending the retreat.
I continue to enjoy the friendship I made and am thankful for the ongoing support of mentors, long after the course itself has ended. |
| | Daffodil | 2017 would be so different for me if I didn't go on this amazing intensive coding bootcamp with Institute of Code. I remember being nervous in enquiry emails because I had zero coding knowledge, but Terry assured me before I took the plunge that I didn't need any experience and that it was all setup to help us learn and support us in every way possible.
Set in beautiful Bali... in a beautiful villa... catered food (thank you for catering wonderful vegan meals).. a fridge full of assorted beverages... it was the perfect environment for learning to code. If I had tried to learn this back in Sydney, amongst full time work and life in general ... I don't think I would have come away with the passion and knowledge that I have now for code. Tina, Emile and the IOC team are the most supportive, patient and inspiring people and mentors. You will surprise yourself with how much you can learn in 10 days! A true self esteem booster! :)
An experience I'll never forget with fellow students and mentors I'm still friends with today! Looking forward to joining future courses! <3 Love you IOC! |
