Run away. I graduated from the Cybersecurity program in July of last year. The program itself contains a lot of outdated information, most of which can be found online for free or for a nominal fee. They charge $16k for this. The instructors and TAs often don’t know much more than the students. They tell you that 80% of grads find a job in the field within six months. Out of my class, less than 10% have found a job in cyber or even IT as a whole. The bootcamp doesn’t prepare you for the job market, and doesn’t teach you a fraction of what you need to know to enter cybersecurity as a career. They give you a career services rep who will have you change some things on your resume and otherwise do nothing for you. These career services advisors never stay more than a few months, which should be a huge red flag. Basically, you’re better of doing TryHackMe or HackTheBox, and investing in a few cheap online courses because you’ll get just as much out of it for a fraction of the price. Coding Dojo is taking people’s money and in return giving them nothing but empty promises.

Online Part Time Accelerated Course Review I was apart of the online part-time accelerated python full stack course and it was overall a great experience! I came into Coding Dojo without any prior experience and left with the ability to build my own website! My cohort, instructors and TA's were a great help and guided me to accomplish a lot. The learning platform was awesome and easy to navigate. I wish I stumbled upon coding dojo sooner. On to the next challenge!

Coding Dojo is a great venture if you … Coding Dojo is a great venture if you are seeking a very entry level introduction to the world of web programming. They touch upon all the major concepts lightly to intermediary. By no means will this make you career ready alone as they used to market towards. This is the fine line that reals in a lot of hopefuls. Do you research, come prepared and be prepared to have to run another marathon during and after the program to be even remotely prepared for work in development. Objectively speaking you may be able to land a very entry level basic web dev role at a company doing simple coding tasks. But if you want to be a serious dev, lots of additional legwork will need to be done.

Coding Dojo partnered with me in making… Coding Dojo partnered with me in making sure I am comfortable and successful. The instructor Rob Y was patient and encouraged us to ask questions. Also I remember the times in code review where he would go beyond time schedule to make sure I understood and answer all my questions . I’m still on coding journey, thank you Coding Dojo for firm foundation!

Pros and Cons Pros: instructors, overall curriculum, helping build your resources to be a full stack developer, the online learning platform. Cons: Career services team. The team is overburdened and doesn’t have the ability to support all students. Example - sending a resume to review. Not hearing back for 2 weeks and then them completing it during a meeting. They also don’t have connections with companies to help get you placed.
