Perfect option for a career change! I took the part time online bootcamp and loved it! I did the MERN stack option and learned so much. I enjoyed the class structure and the online learning platform was a fantastic resource. They also run a Discord server that gives you access to teachers and TAs! I would totally recommend this program for new high school grads or people making a career change (like myself leaving the legal field after 10 years)!

Shop around a bit I did the 20-week data science program and it taught me the basics of what a data analyst and data engineer does. Note the difference! You will need experience and training beyond this course to make it as a data scientist. The certificate is way too expensive in my opinion. If you are a beginner, you definitely will learn a bunch and it will take 25 hours per week at a minimum to understand. The teachers were cool and they gave us plenty of opportunities to ask for help beyond the weekly meetings. However, the "career service" was just Zoom calls explaining how to connect on Linked In. To land a career as an analyst, you will likely need a bachelor's degree to compete with the hundreds of other resumes. This course might benefit someone who knows how to start a business with a few other people. Other than that, you will need to either know someone in the field willing to hire you or go all out on their career path via Linked-In (message 10 people per day) to gain employment. However, you can find basic data science courses for less than $50 to test out the waters before committing to a course of this magnitude and expense.

The onsite experience was very helpful… The onsite experience was very helpful in technical work. Visualization is your own part of the studies as working at the school and not actually working in a tech job can prove to stimulate at least a few illusions about how the work will be. The technical approach is really well done at Coding Dojo. They give you a taste of everything and keep you moving around enough so that when the dust settles, you can see the common patterns of the most important aspects to learn, as they are common among the many different tastes you aquire.

Just go! I did ALOT of research on bootcamps, reading reviews exactly like you are right now... If you're hesitant about attending a BootCamp because you don't know anything about tech, then this is the place for you. I learned so much and accomplished things I never thought I could. Instructors are AMAZING and so helpful! More than anything, Coding Dojo teaches you how to become a self sufficient dev

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.
