Founded in Portugal in 2015, Code for All_ is a social impact startup that offers 14-week intensive and immersive Full Stack Programming Bootcamps. Students are guided through the course by a team of instructors who are graduates of the bootcamp. Code for All_ describes their teaching methods as "peculiar" and aimed at training students to write clean code.
Code for All_'s immersive programming bootcamps welcome beginners of all ages (over 18) and backgrounds (degree not needed) as long as they are willing to fully and passionately commit to becoming professional junior software developers within a short period of time. To apply to the bootcamps, prospective students must complete an online computer science 101 course, submit an online form, complete an online JavaScript tutorial, excel in a JavaScript code challenge, and attend online a workshop day that will be similar to the student experience during the bootcamp.
At each campus, different financing/sponsorship solutions are available to help candidates finance the bootcamp. Terms and conditions are listed on the Code for All_ website.
Code for All_ was formerly known as <Academia de Código_>.

Intensive and Prosperous 14 Weeks
There is quite a bit more to say about the bootcamp than meets the eye, or that can be summarized in 200 words, though It definitely is not the run-of-the-mill bootcamp. Pretty intensive, with a lot of theoretical and practical exercises throughout, it is a Journey through the basis of early computing, Object Oriented Programming, Functional Programming, Framework Integration, Troubleshooting our own issues, GOOGLING(important skill) and even glancing over proper presentation etiquette. ...There is quite a bit more to say about the bootcamp than meets the eye, or that can be summarized in 200 words, though It definitely is not the run-of-the-mill bootcamp.

If you are not in the programming space and would like to get in, or just now starting your programming journey and want a boost in your learning, I highly recommend Academia de Código for all ages. - Vasco Amaro

Outstanding
I always wanted to learn programming but thought it was a too big world of information. Until discovering and realized that it is possible. In just 14 weeks you learn many tools to make a different future . Amazing experience. Highly recommended. - Rodolfo LopesStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Absolutely mind-blowing!
It's hard to fully understand everything they teach. It's impossible to solve each and every challenge they give you. Each day you'll taste the sound of inevitability. But each day your brain grows by its double. You need a couple of days to fully understand that you've learned what you've actually learned. - SaraGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 19, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best experience of my life!
It is an intense experience that requires a lot of effort but is worth every second. The teachers, the challenges and the whole way the bootcamp is structured are perfect.

All the staff is extremely attentive and will give you all the support you need, as long as you are open to being helped.
The friendships could be incredible and the connections formed, completely out of what you ever thought possible in such a short time.
It won't be easy, the idea is not to be! It will take commitment and hard attempts to understand and assimilate the content (which may often not come). Will you understand everything and be super great? No! But being persistent and not giving up is one of the skills that if you don't have, you will have.
I think the current location (at least in Lisbon), is complicated for many people and the facilities and equipment could be much better, taking into account the amount paid of 7,000€ per student.
The way the whole placement part, (i.e. getting you a job), is managed, I also don't think it is ideal for all people, since not everyone gets to the end at the same level. However, there is a job for everyone, whether it's during the bootcamp, soon after, or 1 or 2 months later... the opportunity will come!

Best decision ever!
Pros - Culture, Empowerment, Technical knowledge of teachers, Sylabus, Job Placement.
Cons - A little messy on MAC setups which can easily be fixed.
Pro Tip - You really have to be able to let go your personal life for the full duration of the course, otherwise you will turn the hardmode on! - Adler AraujoFull Stack Developer • Student • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInMay 31, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
The best decision of my life!
I was feeling lost and unhappy with my career. I was encouraged by a friend to join the Academia de Código and that was the best decision of my life. In a short time I was able to enter a job market with a huge potential for professional growth. I feel safe to move on to whatever area I want. I highly recommend the Academia de Código.

I already had a degree on Computer Science, but was still kinda "green", so I gave a shot at <Academia de Código_> and I gotta say it was worth. In just 14-Weeks I got to know the concepts of programming and what was missing me in that degree; they never quitted on us until we knew everything. It was an unique experience.
