I've just been admitted into the Wild Code School program in London and I must say the admissions process was really smooth! Carolina was so easy to talk to and she was very supportive during the admissions process when a few questions cropped up. The... Read More admissions exercises were a little difficult, but not really too difficult, and the motivational and the team made it easy to get both the motivational and technical interviews scheduled in. I spoke to Alexis during the technical interview and he was very friendly and attentive. My course hasn't started yet, but I can't wait to get stuck in!

I did the training in Brussels, GREAT BOOTCAMP ! Totally worth it !

In the same time you have to keep the pace and to work hard everyday but you have also time to really assimilate the technologies and learn at your own pace.

The group is helping each other... Read More which is a great way to move forward.

Wild Code School Berlin is empowering, relevant and the team working here are incredibly helpful. After looking through different schools and approaches to entering the tech industry I was struck by Wild Code Schools curriculum and authentic approach... Read More to learning. Throughout the whole application process, they replied within hours answering all my questions and supported me through each of the different stages. Stage one was completing different modules and a website online through their online platform. I felt this was a clever way to show who they really are and gave me a great idea of what the course would be like. Then I had two interviews, one with the Berlin manager Tim where we talked about my passions, Wild Code Schools passions and the idea of the course came to light. I really like that our final project will be a real project with a Berlin company. Also every week someone from the industry will present a talk on campus and answer our questions. The technical interview I showed me how I could be taught and gave me great feedback as we went through the different questions. I learnt a lot in 30 minutes I can only imagine 5 months. Once seeing the campus I also learned they tailored the course to each city to students are relevant to each city's different needs so we are job ready on graduation. The school is also awarding scholarships to females as part of their Berlin launch. They are addressing a huge problem within their industry head on giving 5 of us ladies a leg up towards our dream careers and also diversity. Can't wait to join the Wild community in March, and start the journey.

The application is pretty straight forward, with a few steps to follow.

During the technical... Read More interview step, your task is reviewed and we are quizzed on a few things we have learned so far. Alexis is extremely patient and understanding, motivating you to keep pushing and showing how to find the answer on your own.
The motivational interview was done in campus with Ana Sofia, she showed me around and explained very clearly what to expect about the course and assessed if it would be a perfect fit for me. She is always available if you have any questions and thorough the application process she was always proactively in contact with me to make sure I was comfortable with the activities to perform or if I had any questions. Ana Sofia also revealed their partnership with Siemens in Lisbon which will offer a paid internship of 3 months (with possibility to extend it) after the conclusion of the course, which is a super important step on the new field to embark. Speaking with her made me very confident on the application process and motivated me to look forward to the future.

I'm totally satisfied with the approach Wild Code School uses.

1. Applying process. To apply for training applicant should complete a task. It's basically about getting familiar with basics of HTML, CSS and JavaScript and creating a small website. The... Read More school has its own user-friendly learning platform, where you do the task and the platform guides you through the applying process. I found this requirement very reasonable, because during task execution applicant can understand whether he/she likes programming or not and if he/she is willing to study hard. Well, the task is fascinating, as soon as I started to work on it, I could not stop.
2. Learning approach. Also, I visited Wild Code School Introduction event, where we were told about the training program, teaching approach, schedule, working conditions and simply got to know each other. The training rooms are very comfortable and working environment is very positive. Wild Code School uses the “blended learning” approach, which is the exact opposite of boring school lessons. And in general, the process will be as close as possible to real working conditions: with agile methodology, daily meetings, deadlines and etc. They prepare us for real life and real working conditions. In addition to technical knowledge, during the training, attention will also be paid to the soft skills development. Every week a speaker will come to us. We will also have to work in a team and on real project for the customer.
3. Technologies. Another huge advantage is the adaptation of the curriculum to local needs. For example, in Berlin campus we will focus on JavaScript and ReactJS, actually one of the most popular technologies on the labor market.
4. People. Tim (campus manager in Berlin) is a very friendly and helpful person. He's always ready to support you and answer all your questions. And don't be afraid of technical interview, it is necessary to see what is your thought process and how do you perceive new information.
