"Waste of time and misleading"
I graduated from Launchcode in 2024, and went through the Java Dev course. The information and learning itself was pretty good as well as the instructors, however they constantly say that they help 80% of their graduates find jobs after completing the... Read More

"Waste of time"
I recently completed a course at LaunchCode, and I must say that my experience was deeply disappointing. While the main selling point of the program is the promise of an apprenticeship afterwards, it became evident that LaunchCode lacks the necessary... Read More

"Excellent program!"
I completed LaunchCode in 2022 and enjoyed my experience as a learner and was benefited by the skills I learned. It’s a hard program, and it’s best for someone who is self motived and has the time required in their schedules to succeed in the program.... Read More

"waste of time"
Resembles a MLM organization. There's more emphasis on deception then actually learning skills. You will see amazing resumes written about AI and software engineering, but it's all style and no substance. Yes, a few people benefit from this program, but... Read More

"So far not so good"
I was accepted into the program and given a deadline for pre work...the quiz is posted but the lesson/content is not. When I contacted them they asked me to provide them with screenshots and asked what links I tried. I tried every link on every tab several... Read More

"Very poorly run, incredibly disappointing"
I attended the Java Web Development CoderGirl course in 2019-2020. There are three modules, Javascript, Java, and Career Readiness. I don't know how I survived the JavaScript module. My TA had graduated from the program 3 months before she started teaching... Read More

"Disorganized, But Ultimately Fulfilling"
I came into this program for the second time in 2018 (I had unfortunately not been able to keep up with the CSX50 program a couple years earlier). The pros and cons are as follows:
Pros:
The schedule (once a week for two hours with optional study groups... Read More

"It's just a waste of time and energy."
The course is quite bad, run by instructors with not much experience, in quite a hostile environment. I have seen many stories on their greediness. Many people who thought they were not able to make it and wanted to leave during the beginning of the program... Read More

"Don't Waste Your Time!"
I have been a hobbyist programmer since I was in high school. I don't have a college degree. I do have a lot of on-the-job programming experience. I read about LaunchCode in the newspaper in 2017. It sounded too good to be true, but I applied for their... Read More

"LaunchCode literally changed my life"
I started LaunchCode in the summer of 2017, I was working a dead end food service job at the time and looking for a way out. LaunchCode's LC101 course is one of the best I've seen, it's in person, interactive, and most of all it is FREE! That being said... Read More
