    One of the best Code Academies!

    I have been an intern/student at Bay Valley Tech Code Academy for a few months now, and I've had the best learning experience. If you sign up for the Code Academy then you will learn the fundamentals of Web Development. Before the internship, they start you off with the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, then once you've got a good grasp on those concepts they go into React.js, Express, and MySQL, along with other foundational skills like Git/GitHub. They will put you into groups so th...

    Great way to learn and get experience in the development field

    I saw this as an opportunity to gain more experience in coding and to learn more, and honestly I've learned a lot more here than I learned in my college in a small amount of time. It's even free too, I highly recommend if you're wanting to learn more how to code, if you're switching careers, or if you want to gain experience in fullstack development and prepare yourself for a future career in that role.

    Bay Valley Tech - Code Academy, one of the best decisions I've made!

    I was part of the 236 cohort and It has been such a wonderful experience. If I am being honest I feel like I have learned more here than I have in my college experience. The curriculm is pretty straight forward. The instructors are very helpful and go out of their way to assist you. They offer many opportunities to network with people that have been in the career field for many years. There is hands on experience with projects. There is a group system to make sure you have someone to rea...

    Amazing Bootcamp for Quick Learning

    BVT has taught me so much in only a few months. When I first started in the bootcamp, I only knew very basic css and html, but now I am able to make full websites with different frameworks libraries and API's. In just a short amount of time my knowledge on being a web developer has been helped exponentially.

    certification, creative, and technical

    I was taught a lot of applicable skills at the Digital Design Bootcamp which complimented the skills I had in graphic design. The DD bootcamp has earnable certificates in website design and creation and has educated me about how websites work and why the choices we as designers make matter.  After starting my training in at the end of December, in April I was eligible for the internship portion which allows students to gain paid experience as part of a design team. The instructors are gr...

    Disrupting Normal Education!

    This training academy is unlike any other academy out there. First to none in my opinion. Not only is the education free, but we can work with employers and gain more experience to see what is in demand. I am able to tailor my resume and projects to what employers want. 

    Not only is it a free training program, but it also its a community. It is so cool to get together for Tech Networking Events and Career Events because it grows my network!!
