The Best Abidjan Coding Bootcamps Of 2024

Jigsaw Labs does a great job in preparing you to be a data engineer. The first portion of the course involves going through software engineering covering back end development. Starting out with going through some basic fundamentals of coding involving arrays, dictionaries, functions, and tests. Everything builds on itself starting from day one ensuring that one is able to gain continued practice and exposure to the concepts in different formats. From there it goes into learning about codebase navigation and implementation. Ensuring that you know how to setup a codebase for a project, and are able to navigate a codebase and make changes to the code. Afterwards, it takes you through SQL, OOP, and system design to fully bring together the construction of backend tasks and logic as a software engineer. 

This all takes up the first half of the course. After getting through this, things begin getting interesting. Students are matched up with various companies for an internship that runs in parallel to the course for the remainder of the program. With this you get live practice and opportunities in a professional setting along with mentorship from the company you're working with and the jigsaw team of instructors. This opportunity gives the chance to practice things such as stand-ups, organization of job needs and demands and more important soft skills that contribute to the ability of one to become a strong and effective software and/or data engineer. All of this is in addition to the technical skills being learned and practiced from the opportunity. This portion of the class involves at least 6 hours with that time coming from dedicated in class time with myself and many other of my classmates choosing to put in more time outside of class hours. 

While this is taking place, we begin going through devops, cloud, analysis, and other current in demand data engineering tools(the curriculum is continuously updated to remain relevant). In my cohort we covered docker and learned how to work with it and then based on the response of the job market, terraform was included in the following cohort and made available to those of us from previous cohorts. AWS is the cloud provider of choice and we work with it and learn how to use parts of its ecosystem such as EC2, S3, Lambda, Glue, Athena, Redshift as part of constructing a data pipeline. We also work with leading/emerging technologies in the industry such as Airflow and Prefect for workflow orchestration, DBT, DuckDB, and more. Afterwards we worked with tableau to practice presenting our findings for our target audience in a concise way that delivers our message through things such as dashboards.

Last but not least, we get to part of what truly helps distinguish this bootcamp. The job support and preparation is amazing. As we begin nearing the end of our formal classes and instructions DSA and leetcode practice is incorporated. This is for both python and sql. Additionally, reviewing and gaining understanding of the core key concepts we've covered throughout the course, how they function, and how to use/incorporate it in an appropriate way in a live setting is covered. This helps prep for conceptual and higher level questions that test understanding. From there, training and prep for answering interview questions is done.

When the course officially 'ends' a continuation of interview prep and content review is done. This helps ensure we are able to maintain and continue growing our skills that we've learned over the previous 6-7 months. Additionally, the team of instructors meets with you to help curate a tailored plan to find a job based on your experience and interests. At this point, some people continue on with their internships, some get offered more permanent roles, some find new internships, while some just continue to practice. All this takes place while applying for jobs. Help is provided on that front with slack channels, groups, and more that can help us network and expose us to opportunities that we might have previously missed. 

When I was applying for a job, I was given help with things such as resume construction, mock interviews, conferences and more. Overall, I'll repeat the process and recommend the program to others. The content is top notch, the instruction is first class, and the opportunities one has available afterwards speaks volumes. It can be a lot of work to keep up and ensure you're doing your best and properly learning the content, especially if you're new to coding. Even though I had experience I still learned a lot from the course and had to put in my share of hours as well. However, it's well worth it because of the skill-set you come out with. Nothing is a guarantee. However, I can say with strong confidence that if one puts in a strong effort into the course you'll come out with something that will help move you down your career path.

We covered a wide range of topics during the lesson, yet it was all paced in a way that felt achievable. Gaining at least light exposure to most disciplines of building a game is very valuable. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful and patient. The TA was also very knowledgeable and eager to help debug. Other instructors provide content and homework for individual verticals, such as Visual Design, Audio Design, Project Managment, etc. The homework was so engaging that I wish I'd had the bandwidth to do every vertical! 
I took the Level 1 class before this, where I released my first indie title. Highly recommend doing that one first if you are new to games. With this second level course, we each built our own versions of the same game alongside the teacher, and I will be using this project as a base for my second indie title. 
If you are someone who struggles with self-imposed scheduling and deadlines, I highly recommend both Level 1 and Level 2. Also the networking is amazing!

I recently completed the full-stack software development program at Sabio School of Software Engineering, and I can confidently say that it was a transformative experience that exceeded all my expectations.

Sabio's covers a wide array of languages and technologies, making you a well-rounded developer. They delve deep into JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React, .NET Core, C#, MSSMS, and SQL, ensuring you gain expertise in both front-end and back-end development. The hands-on projects and real-world applications of these technologies throughout the program make learning practical and engaging. You're not just a student at Sabio; you become part of a tight-knit family. The alumni network is strong, and you can rely on your fellow Sabio graduates for advice and assistance even after completing the program.

Before joining HackMyHead, I navigated through online tutorials and self-guided learning, finding them lacking in engagement and occasionally tedious. A friend's recommendation led me to HackMyHead, where the instructional approach was dynamic and interactive, fostering a profound understanding of complex concepts across CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, React, Prisma, and Git.

The curriculum was meticulously structured, encompassing a broad spectrum of technologies essential for modern web development. From mastering the intricacies of CSS for styling web pages to harnessing the power of JavaScript and Node.js for backend development, every aspect was covered comprehensively. The introduction to React provided a deeper understanding of front-end development, while Prisma offered insights into database management and integration.

Throughout the program, collaborative interactions in breakout rooms and regular code reviews facilitated practical application and refinement of skills across all platforms. The camaraderie among classmates, coupled with the unwavering support and expertise of our instructor Max, fostered an environment conducive to growth and exploration.

We had Mock technical interviews, which offered invaluable preparation for real-world scenarios, refining communication and problem-solving skills under pressure. Additionally, Git proficiency was emphasized, enabling effective version control and collaboration within development teams.

HackMyHead has equipped me with a robust skill set encompassing CSS, JavaScript, Node.js, React, Prisma, and Git, empowering me to navigate the competitive landscape of professional software development with confidence and proficiency.

 A special thanks to all the students. Everyone was helpful.

I am so thoroughly impressed and pleased with the curriculum, instructor, and staff of Victory Lap.  Their program will prepare you for a successful career in technology sales without question.

The in-depth topics they teach, paired with their sincere desire to have you ready on day one, are just the elements I needed to get my career started right.  

I recommend this boot camp to anyone looking to break into the tech sales industry.

Before I discovered the PreSales Academy, I had been trying to transition into the tech industry for months with no luck. The PSA provided me with the structure and guidance that I needed to achieve my goal, and now I am a Solutions Engineer!  This is not just any regular old boot camp, they really take the time to get to know you and your strengths.  They coach you throughout the process and help you use and be confident of your transferable skills.  One thing that sets this program apart from other boot camps is their commitment to their students.  They stick with you even after you finish the program and continue to coach you and support you in your job search.  I am beyond grateful for all of the support I received from everyone at the PSA.  They are life changers! 

I don't even know where to start describing the experience of the last 9 weeks in the IN-PERSONtial UX/UI design bootcamp at Ironhack Lisbon. The quality of the training program is unbeatable. The professionals who make up the teaching staff are of the highest level, both as teachers and as human beings. The kindness and closeness, as well as the positivism in the low moments of such an intense experience, have made that, time after, I still feel moved when I remember them. Moreover, the on-site experience of the course has been crucial for me. I could not imagine it in any other format. The quality of the transmission of the contents, as well as the coexistence with the teaching team and the rest of my classmates, both in my course and those of WebDev and Data Analysis, would not have been of such a high level and would not have exceeded my expectations if it had not been in a face-to-face format. I highly recommend this formula. It feels like a summer camp and you feel it when you leave, but in this case you don't just take friends for life, you change your professional life forever. I miss you all!

Doing the Data Analyst course from CodingInvaders by MentorsPro is the best decision I have taken in recent times. This is a super insightful course that's making me extremely comfortable with huge amounts of data across platforms like Google Sheets, SQL, Python, Power BI and also making the most dreaded Mathematical Statistics simpler! The best part is that the platform makes everything so simple that even a newbie can learn everything with ease. Highly recommend it.

School16 came into my life at the most precise time. While I was very grateful for my previous experience in government I was curious about other career opportunities. When I decided to venture out I knew I would be more successful if I was part of a community. School16 provides exactly that, forming part of the February 2022 Cohort gave me the structure, support and community I needed to accelerate my progress. A few months after I completed the program I was hired by Kipsu, a Minneapolis based Software company. I absolutely love forming part of their Customer Success Team and I'm excited to know I'll have School16 as a resource throughout my career growth! 

Unlike many other courses I've taken, this was a far more intimate and catered experience, allowing me to be more proactive in my learning and project work. The course provides an in-depth dive into the product field, while examining real world examples and experiences. There is a lot of consideration into your own career path throughout, and they are committed to helping you reach your goals.

The teachers in this program were exceptional, providing unwavering support throughout both the ups and downs of the coursework. Beyond the classroom, they also offered valuable guidance on launching a career in cybersecurity. Their dedication to their students' education and career success was truly commendable. This program not only equipped me with essential cybersecurity knowledge but also empowered me with the confidence and skills to embark on a successful career in the field. I highly recommend this program to anyone aspiring to enter the world of cybersecurity.

I researched several boot camps before choosing Bottega and I'm glad I did. The instructor was with us every day with the goal of making sure we understood the material. Was it intense? For sure! I mean this is web development! But repetition breeds familiarity so hard work and success in the program go hand in hand. I read beforehand many people recommending part time instead of a full time boot camp. I would say now that is wrong. You want an instructor with you. Go full time. Also, embrace the struggle. You're going to struggle for sure, but that is where the deepest learning happens. Mistakes are fantastic because you remember them and learn a lesson! To sum up, go to Bottega and go full-time! You won't regret it!

Code Labs Academy's bootcamp covers a wide range of topics essential to become a web developer. The instructors are engaged, friendly, and I feel like they could be teaching at a top university given how brilliant they are. Unlike top universities, this program is affordable, and I was able to learn web development and find a job in the field without getting in debt.

If you are passionate about learning, and developing your skills in cybersecurity, look no further than this course. Having recently graduated from the bootcamp I can say that I've never had a group of instructors as passionate about teaching and cybersecurity as those I've found here. I have taken courses on HackTheBox, TryHackMe, TCM, and a number of others and the level and quality seen here is unmatched. The course itself is designed to be challenging (it is) and is geared to help students develop a deeper understanding of the concepts and skills need to land their first job in cyber. They encourage students to ask questions, improve critical thinking skills, and most importantly, develop hands on knowledge and experience needed to truly be impactful from day 1 of landing a job. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced in your skills you will learn something from this course.

There is still a little until the end of the QA course organized by GOIT Romania. It was an exciting, well-structured course. The teachers calmly and patiently explained the theory part and the practical exercises. They were very quick to answer the students' questions regarding any confusion regarding the lessons taught. I recommend this course to those who want to pursue a career in IT, but also to those who are interested in learning new things or who want to change their profession.

I learned about Thoughtworks-Prograd train and hire programme during my final semester of college. It was something I applied for. I was chosen for this programme after six rounds of evaluation.

Initially, I assumed that this would be like traditional classroom learning, with PPTs and all, but I was wrong. We gained experience through doing. It was a two-month training session. We learned about Java and Git for the first two weeks by performing little coding assignments.
Following that, Bootcamp projects began, with a project every week in which the prograd mentors acted as real clients for us and gave us the criteria. Prograd mentors were always available to inspire us and answer our difficulties throughout the process.

In addition to this, every week there were organized tech-talks and Pecha Kucha. We trainees were given presentations on any technical topic during tech-talks. In Pecha Kucha, we discussed various societal issues that exist in India. This discourse gave me a lot of confidence in my ability to speak. They also took weekly soft skill training, which helped me enhance my communication and personality.
Based on my personal experience, I can confidently state that enrolling in this programme was the best decision I ever made, and I am grateful to Prograd for providing me with this opportunity.

It is really good learning experience with Mindmajix.  Actually i come across about this website while i was looking for salesforce online course later i enrolled from day1 it was a smooth experience and very good support as well. Mindmajix even covered more advanced topics which was not in agenda or course content. 

The boot camp prepared me for my career transition into IT. Since I was new to IT, it helped give me a wide breadth of knowledge so I could land a job in IT. I think the boot camp was a good value for the price to get all the personal time with instructors that you receive. The sheer amount of hands on experience helps you gain much more knowledge than if it was purely classroom based. I would recommend this boot camp to anyone interested in changing gears to IT. 

It has been a great experience to know and share good times with that people
Specially attending to their good willingness to answer questions or doubts.
We had a complete itinerary about data, starting from python progreamming and ending with generative AI and related technology. 

Metana is more than just a bootcamp, it's a life-changing experience. You'll not only gain technical skills, but you'll also join a vibrant community and become part of the exciting Web3 revolution. If you're looking for a career challenge and a chance to make a real impact, Metana is the answer.

The Dataquest platform has enhanced my Python skills through its diverse and engaging examples. The guided projects are challenging, which makes them so rewarding. Solving these problems independently gives me a sense of accomplishment and boosts my confidence. I'm truly grateful to the Dataquest team for creating such an interactive and effective learning platform.

As the lone UI Designer in a small company, I was so happy to find Cyber Patio. They worked with me to tailor a 1-on-1 course that perfectly met all my needs (including workflow, better UX/UI practices, and design systems) and found me the perfect tutor. I'll be going back for another round soon!
