    Bay Valley Tech - Free and Great Coding Bootcamp

     Bay Valley Tech offers the free Code Academy program, which is amazing. I learned extensively about both front-end and backend development, equipping me with the skills needed to transition into a full-stack developer role. The bootcamp provided ample networking opportunities, personalized resume reviews, and even partnerships with government entities for paid internships. This experience was invaluable in helping me gain the necessary skills and more connections to pursue a career in w...

    BVT code academy

    Bay Valley Tech is a great place to learn code while also meeting new peers for support. Not only do you learn to code in some languages, but you also learn about different framworks, tools, and how to draw up figma designs.

    Good, free work!

    I saw that they offered coursework with a guaranteed internship locally. I enrolled into their Code Academy course last year and learned many things on web development. I am now working as an intern. So overall, an amazing place with amazing people!

    Extremely helpful with getting your start in tech

    Bay Valley Tech is incredibly helpful with learning the skills necessary for web development and programming and goes up and beyond trying to help you get set up with a job afterwards. They are partnered with the county and have only your best intentions in mind as well as a lax schedule in case you have other things going on in your life.

    Challenging but very rewarding

    I had no direction in my life. Graduated with a degree and I realized I wasn't that interested in the jobs available for it. Thinking there were no other paths for me Bay Valley Teach made me realize that their are other options our there that pay well AND let me express my creative side the way I would like to.

    Great Free Design Course

    As a digital design student it helped fuel my passion for art into a more practical and marketable skill set! I learned how to use a lot of adobe tools and photo editting tools that are a requirement in the creative field. The only short-comings I could say could be chalked up to the fact that the program is free so it can take a bit to get a response back when you first apply. However, everyone is really professional and nice and always willing to answer whatever questions I have. The p...

    Pretty good opportunity

    Above all else it is difficult to beat Bay Valley Tech in terms of pricing. It is a free program after all! From getting into the program for nothing to ending with a paid internship, you are undeniably getting more value than you paid for. For me that was enough

    And so for being free and open to all it is difficult to judge it's shortcomings too harshly. They are juggling a lot of students with a limited number of instructors and so if you're on...

    BVT Review

    The coding academy is alright since it's free, so you can't really complain about anything not being up to par but a lot of documents and paperwork don't get processed and you have to constantly bug the staff to get things done. It provides a basic structure to what you should learn but you should really be learning on your own alongside the bootcamp. The staff seems to be stretched too thin because there was one instance where one teacher was teaching 3 cohorts and he couldn't answer a ...

    Engaging Friendly Teamwork

    I believe this Code Academy does well in teaching the fundamentals of Front-end Design. The issue arises with backend. The module 4 curriculum feels bare and lacking in sufficient resources to learn backend. Most backend curriculum feels like learning on your own with very little resources. In terms of Job Assistance it does well with have resume workshops and networking events. Even having the interns do challenges with people in the workforce. I would like to see more collaboration wit...
