Codeworks

The bootcamp is as intense as it sounds, however this definitely helps you switch career in only 3 months.

I am really happy with my investment and the support from Codeworks staff from the beginning to the end. During hiring week at Codeworks, I was... Read More able to find a frontend developers job.

Would recommend it to everybody who wants to step in into developers world.

The software engineering bootcamp at Codeworks has changed my life.

I spent 12 hours every day, 6 days a week for 3 months at the bootcamp, still the time seemed too brief. The things you learn (not only coding), the amazing people you meet, the excellent... Read More teachers and the whole environment has made the experience totally worth it!

Attending the bootcamp has helped me boost my career immensely. It has enabled me to find a great job, where I can apply all the concepts and skills acquired by me at the bootcamp, only two months after graduation. I am still in touch with their job support staff who constantly provide me with career guidance.

I would highly recommend this bootcamp to all the people looking for a successful career as a software engineer.

Coming from a University I was shocked with how invested everyone at CW was in my doing well in the course not only grasping the material but in my overall well being.

Im used to a learning environment with huge 100+ people lectures and then small 30+... Read More "lab" sessions with a tutor once a week. So coming into something where the class sizes are so small and you can get help in literally minutes was insane and made me feel like what have I been missing out on my whole life! I was looking at other bootcamps but they were either more expensive with larger class sizes and less TA's or cheaper with larger class sizes and less TA's so I found the perfect middle ground for me. My experience was awesome and then of course getting a job within 2 weeks of graduating was a huge confirmation.

Do it you won't regret it

Before starting the Bootcamp I didn't know if I would endure the intensity. But I just spend every day learning something new without ever thinking about the time. I would recommend it even if you don't want to work in the technical department.

The job... Read More support is also great, even to this day.

Since the beginning I felt like I was treated like money. There were some complains the first days of the bootcamp and Barcelona because the lectures in Zoom were exhausting. The answer that we got was that if we didn´t like we could leave at any time.... Read More

When I signed up on there website they had that there were conferences by professionals in the industry in the same campus... We didn´t recieved any. In the syllabus we had presentations from the alumini at the end of the day in which they weren´t very good due you were not getting any feedback, "you can record yourself and look the points in which you can improve...".

About the curriculum. I think that learning jQuery was a waste of time. You are given lots of topics and you could have consolidated them better with some extra time. But jQuery was a must do to roll into the bootcamp. You were left with the official Docs for a day time to time, I felt like they could have prepared something.

When covid happent there was poor action taken by the bootcamp. We went remote for a quarter of the bootcamp and I did not see any money back from doing it from home. They have an option from doing the bootcamp remote that it is 2000 euros cheaper. They refused to give me back a quarter of it.

In other hand, my objectives were to find a job as a software engineer and I achived that 4 weeks after completing the bootcamp even if the salary wasn´t close to the stadistics( they look unrealistic to me, just my opinion ) that they provided in their site. I have learn very good practices thanks to some amazing TA. Half of them are recent graduates.

In conclusion, I didn´t have many problems to work as a mid Level engineer after 3 months precourse + 3 months bootcamp + 4 weeks interviews. Therefore they did something well and it work all out at the end. By the way the job support is 10 out of 10, Marc is a star a he will help you all the way trough.

I attended Codeworks Bootcamp in Barcelona from November 2019 to February 2020. I couldn't be happier. Nice students, nice teachers, a lot of intensity and hard work, all worth it! 3 epic months that led me to get my first developer job very quickly (despite... Read More Covid!), grateful also for the support they gave me after I graduated.
I learn everything I needed to know to get a nice developer job in only three months. Amazing!

Codeworks has delivered perfectly on its promises. It's a wonderful experience that has taught me in just a few months the knowledge, tools and experiences necessary to acquire a job even in a working environment post-Covid.

From the beginning, I knew... Read More Codeworks was serious with its relatively stringent application process - it was the most rigourous out of all the bootcamps that I had applied to. The curriculum is thorough and they make sure to teach relevant technologies and languages to software jobs that are currently hiring.

With only my Math background, it would have been difficult, if not almost impossible to get a job on my own in the industry. However, after one short month having finished the course, I managed to land a job at a start up where I feel valued for my skills.

Codeworks was definitely an experience that I would recommend to anyone who wants to learn coding from the beginning, or needs a refresher.

Excellent experience. I learnt a lot, had hands on experience developing apps and just had so much fun.
The team is great, syllabus is up to date with the latest relevant technologies, and the intensity really pays off.
Job Support has been exceptional... Read More too, very quick and effective.

The Corporate Training has been a very useful experience. Our class was a small group and all of us have learned Javascript muddling through with online courses like many in people these days. In five 8-hour sessions we could set a rock solid base on... Read More the actual functioning of the language and good programming practices in general. This makes further learning significantly easier, which is key in this fast-paced industry.

The sessions combined in a dynamic way code-alongs, pair programming, solo practice and small chunks of theory. Although it was quite challenging at times, the classes were adapted to our rhythm so we have not been overwhelmed. With the excuse of the time scarcity, many courses throw at you a lot of content in a way that simply does not stick into your mind. Few weeks after the course I can say my way of coding has definitely improved. We even had some time to solve doubts related to our product.

I would recommend this kind of program to any company as a quick way to develop the skills of the team. As I said in the title, being a few days in Codeworks away from our daily duties has been worth hundreds of hours of online code alongs and documentation reading.

If you're reading this review I'm assuming that you're interested in learning how to code and are considering if Codeworks is the right choice for you (or maybe you just enjoy reading reviews which is a bit weird tbh).

If your goal is to become a freelance... Read More programmer so you can work from the comfort of your own basement, or even if you just want to improve your skills enough that your clickbait website will finally take off, you'll probably be better off taking your business elsewhere.

What makes Codeworks different from it's alternatives is the fact that you will not only learn the practical skills of writing good code, but more importantly you will learn how to think like a software engineer (you may think that coding === software engineering, but it's not).

The most valuable things you will learn during your time at Codeworks will come from the experience of working on a team. Being part of a highly motivated team of developers, working towards a common goal, you will acquire skills that no "youtube professor" can teach you.

Finally, if you're not sure you want to become a software developer, but have been convinced after reading positive online reviews, you might be making a huge mistake. Only if you're already convinced you want to be a software developer, and are looking for the best place to achieve that goal, should you apply to Codeworks. You definitely won't regret it.
