I just completed Code Fellows after right around a half year. The experience was stunning! Im a Veteran and when I understood that the GI bill would cover the educational cost I was sold. Im 41yo and in a lifelong change and interestingly, in quite a while, I believe I at long last have an ability I can use for the remainder of my life. The degree of guidance and backing Code Fellows offers is un-coordinated in anything I have seen previously. The educators, TAs and Students are among the absolute most comprehensive individuals I have been near. I have been in class with everybody from Helicopter Pilots to Hairdressers and everybody has been extraordinary! Following a half year I have made deep rooted companions and anticipate the following section.

I just finished Code Fellows after almost 6 months. The experience was amazing! I am a Veteran and once I realized that the GI bill would cover the tuition I was sold. I am 41yo and in the middle of a career change and for the first time, in a long time, I feel I finally have a skill I can use for the rest of my life. The level of instruction and support Code Fellows offers is un-matched in anything I have seen before. The instructors, TA’s and Students are amongst some of the most inclusive people I have been around. I have been in class with everyone from Helicopter Pilots to Hairdressers and everyone has been great! After 6 months I have made lifelong friends and look forward to the next chapter.

Code fellows, instructors, TAs, and students have a great supporting network. the class covered a wide range of materials and industry-standard tools. so I am confident to have the tech industry expected skill.

I recently completed the Code 201 course with JB as my instructor and I had a really good experience. Make no mistake about it, the course is demanding and takes a lot of time. I would consider it more demanding than a full-time job. Stacked learning is challenging and takes some getting used to.With all that said, Im so glad Ive embarked on this journey and am continuing onto Code 301. I did a lot of research and ultimately settled on Code Fellows because they have graduates everywhere in tech and thats a good thing.

Currently enrolled here. I put a lot of effort into making a decision whether to self study or try a bootcamp. The values and overall level of instructional expertise here are phenomenal. Lots of places say that they value diversity and inclusion but code fellows is the real deal. It has been a fun journey, an intense one, with lots of help available. I recommend it.

Code Fellows is not just another coding boot-camp, it is a coding academy. In the 5ish months I have been studying with them I have learned how to code like a professional and I have learned the skills required to land a job in the modern tech industry. They have some of the best instructors I have ever worked with. They are professional and thoughtful. Also, in the modern world of tech things change too rapidly for traditional schools to keep up. Code Fellows works hard to ensure that the knowledge they teach is up-to-date with current industry standards. I highly recommend this academy.

Just finished ops201d2 and it went great! Theyve done a great job at transitioning from in person to online without any loss of quality.Excellent and accessible instructors.

Just graduated form Code Fellows today and I have to hand it to them. This is an amazing organization that will turn you into a proficient software developer. I went from not knowing what HTML was to building fully functioning web applications. If you put the work in, and there is ALOT, you will come out of this boot camp with the tools you need to thrive in the tech industry.

I only came to their office for the Unity workshop during Startup Week in October. Great space.

I came to Code Fellows knowing some Python related mostly to data science and making text adventure console games. I expected to learn about Web Development and at the end feel proficient enough to build my own sites and understand the modern web better. I got a whole lot more out of it than that, the instructors I had were absolutely top notch and so knowledgeable, I feel like I learned so much information in such a short time Im still surprised at the things I can accomplish now. Truly a fantastic school with fantastically dedicated staff.

The experience was really great I learned so much and because it was coding it was comfortable working online with my fellow cohorts. Nicholas Carigan is super knowledgeable and really great to work with, he even helped us edit our Ai scripts

As a student, I can attest to how amazing this bootcamp is. While its very challenging on many levels, thats what I was seeking. The instructors and TAs are great, and really care. Highly recommend this program to anyone with interest in a coding bootcamp.

I’ve known and have been connected with Codefellows since 2013. I’m happy to say my experience in 2013 was just as good as my experience now in 2021.I’ve been and am a student here and I’ve TA’d here before also. As you see I keep coming back because it’s just too good. I’ve seen them grow and change and it just keeps getting better.The staff really cares and you can’t fake that. The amount of passion and drive that surround this institution is contagious. I feel super lucky that Codefellows and I are connected.Can’t wait to finish another journey with Codefellows!

I just completed my 301 class and it was amazing. So much knowledge is instilled. So much practice. And so much help and support. From our great teacher Nicholas Carignan to all the TAs that helped us. Chance Harmon, Sara Russert, Dario Thornhill, Skyler Burger, Ron Dunphy, Alister Blake. What a great team. I highly recommend it. Change your career, change your life.

Amazing instructors and an incredibly supportive educational team. If youre looking to boost your technical knowledge, or youre making a full-blown career change with ZERO background in software development, I would HIGHLY recommend this program.

Great instructors, keep a real world aspect to stacked learning. Absolutely rewarding!

The school has handled the transition to virtual classes quite well and I am very happy with the program.

Code Fellows is an amazing place to learn software development. The Code Fellows staff takes care of their students, they provide a robust curriculum with tons of TA and instructor support. They were always ready and willing to answer any questions. Code Fellows has a great community of like-minded people that are great to work with and are always helpful. If you are on the edge about doing a bootcamp I saw do it, you will not regret, any bootcamp will be a great experience but in particular Code Fellows is top tier in education and community. You will end your course battered with knowledge and wanting more.

Kudos to a fantastic learning place. Got to go through their program, and I gladly upvote it. If you have an interest in learning to code, it is worth a look.

Code fellows is tough and definitely upholds a high standard. However, the instructional staff and TAs are there for you to lean on. Plus your classmates.

Just finished 301, its been amazing, I will leave a more detailed reveiw after I finish 401.

If you are starting from scratch in the industry there is no better place to start. The course is demanding, but so rewarding in the end it makes every long hour worth it. The instructors and staff are completely selfless and want you as a student to succeed. Would highly recommend to anyone interested in getting into coding!

Currently enrolled in the Ops/Cybersecurity program. It’s super demanding and time consuming, especially coming from a non-tech background, but so worth the effort. In a few weeks I’ve learned more about computers than I ever thought I would or even be capable of learning. I’m looking forward to completing the program and finding a great career in Cybersecurity.

Attending this school allowed me to make a career change with zero experience in programming. I would defiantly have to say that you get what you pay for and I found a lot of value during my time there. It is very challenging but there is plenty of assistance and like mined peers to collaborate with!

This series of classes (I began with Ops 101 and am going thru Ops 401) is my first experience with Code Fellows. I have 2 degrees in an unrelated field and am enjoying a new approach to instruction. There is a good combination of types of learning in the courses including reading, demonstration, lab time, and self exploration.

If you are considering the Code Fellows program, I encourage you to apply. Through the six month program, I learned more valuable material than I did in a four year college. For people new to the tech world like myself, getting through the course was not an easy task. The program was a grueling process, filled with sleepless nights and frustration, but the light at the end of the tunnel is well worth it. My understanding and progression of software development was exponential and I am eager to keep learning more. When the lecture was over, we went straight into the lab work where TAs and instructors will assist you with any assignments you are having trouble with or questions you had. It didnt matter if the question was easy or hard to answer, the Code Fellows instructional staff stood by you till you had a better understanding of the topic. Code Fellows not only teaches you about software development, but also the requirements needed to land that job position. During their career coaching sessions, you will be updating your resume to the level of their requirements, connecting you with developers from various companies and preparing you for any situation during a tech interview. Even after graduating from the program, Code Fellows has a career accelerated option where they support you and connect you to multiple tech companies to help guide through the struggles of finding the job. The only thing that would have made the experience better is if we could have gone into the Code Fellows campus. Though given the current COVID pandemic situation and everything needing to be remote, Code Fellows handled the situation very well with daily zoom lectures and provided a virtual compass where we worked on lab assignments. If I had the money and time to take another Code Fellows course, I would take it.

Hands down the best coding boot camp in the country! The amount of knowledge and support they provide is unrivaled. The faculty stand behind their students 100% of the way throughout the learning and employment processes. Its not all sunshine and rainbows however, Code Fellows demands a high level effort. If you put the time and work in you will be successful here. Challenging, but effective.

Challenging program, with even stronger support and encouragement! My instructor was incredible (Nicholas), and I learned so much in such a short time.

I took 201 and 301 courses here and have nothing but good things to say. The instructors were engaging and approachable and super encouraging. The TAs were awesome - in fact they often provided detailed, thoughtful feedback on every assignment I submitted. I came here from a non-tech background and I always felt welcomed and like it was okay to ask questions. There was also good diversity in terms of gender, ethnicity, military background, etc. Pretty amazing place. They also offer awesome scholarship opportunities!

In a day and age where everyone is offering services to teach you how to code and how to get a job in the Tech industry, many prospective students are wary. But let me tell you that at Code Fellows, they work to prepare you for the actual environment you will be put in in the tech industry. I came here without knowing anything about code and I left being able to write full stack applications in a variety of frameworks and languages, customized to what employers are actually looking to hire.As a student who also dealt with a transition to remote learning, the choices made by code fellows to encourage a campus and collaborative, even in a remote environment, has been impressive. The online campus always have student and staff around working on various things and you can always see someone you recognize from another class.This has been a great experience and I highly value my time here. I would not have chosen any other bootcamp to prepare me for the new tech environment.

I love this place. Wonderful supportive learning environment. Learn code and then get a job!

Changed my life, taught me a ton and the tas were the most helpful Ive ever met.

Lena E. is an amazing 401 level JavaScript instructor.

Seriously, I cant say enough good things about Code Fellows! They truly care about their students and are commited to your success. Learning to code is frustrating as hell but they always have TA and instructor support available and make sure you are 100% sopported throughout the program. This program is absolutely worth your time, money, and commitment.

One of the best experiences ever, totally worth it if you can dedicate the time and energy. it takes a lot out of you, long days for several months but you can learn so much and get ready for a career in tech

This place not only teaches you to code but will also teach you how to network and present yourself to potentially employers. I highly recommend Code Fellows

I learned so much as a developer here. Supportive staff, amazing curriculum and ongoing support now, even almost a year after I graduated!

Code Fellows is indeed a coding bootcamp, but its a lot more than just a place you go to learn how to write code. The program is robust in that it teaches you as much about coding, the industry, and how to learn as can be taught in 6 months! They do a great job of exposing you to different parts of the industry and different paths your career could take you. The community is genuine, supportive, and legitimately interested in your success. If youre anything like me 6 months ago, considering a change in your career to better set yourself up for the future, I would highly recommend this program. The instructors and TAs are fantastic and if you find yourself learning from Roger, Nich, Lena, or JB, consider yourself lucky! They are experienced, up on current industry trends, and willing to help out in any way they can. Theres a place for everyone in tech and Code Fellows will help you figure out where that might be for you.

I’m enrolled currently for the next 201 after doing 102. The school can get intense but if it’s what you love and you want to commit to it then you’ll do alright. I did have prior knowledge in code (specifically CSS and HTML) from old myspace when i wanted to code my profile myself. Other than that I have no prior knowledge or education but I feel it did allow me to have an upper hand in class. I would imagine someone new would struggle a bit but again if you have a drive for your future I think this program is worth it.Networking/Community — one of the things I’m finding out is how they help you network because you’re around engineers/devs who you might want to work with or work for or even have a connection to the company you want to work for. The community is so supportive and open to do whatever it takes to make you succeed.

I loved learning how to code here. The facilities are excellent and the staff are talented, knowledgeable and kind. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants to learn how to code and to improve their knowledge of technology quickly.

What can I say about Code Fellows. I was fortunate enough to given with an opportunity to take both coding side an cybersecurity sequence. Taking the Code Fellows for the second time, I realize how much the tools and knowledge that they provide to the student to be successful after graduating from the program.I want to echo highly on cybersecurity as it is current program that I am taking. The instructor, David Lee, has a passion and drive to teach student to his best of knowledge. He truly cares about student. Being a bootcamp system, materials are not easy and you will need to put time into the school, however, all the materials are very much applicable to current position that are available in the field. Amount of time you put in definitely reflects on how much you get out from the program.Going into first class of cybersecurity, Ive never expected to learn as much I have so far and I excited learn more for next course thats coming up. I strongly recommend Code Fellows cybersecurity program. Start with 101 and see if you like it, because there could be a exciting career waiting for you on your door step.

This is an amazing company that really does change peoples lives. It changed mine and now my friends and family are going through the program as well.

I just graduated from Code Fellows, in Seattle WA. 6 months ago, I barely knew what a boolean was. Now, Im a Full Stack JavaScript Developer. I learned so much during my time at Code Fellows, that I really dont know where to start with this review, other than to say, if you are looking for a bootcamp to attend, you owe it to yourself to check out Code Fellows. Its difficult, rewarding, and well worth the time and money.

Attending Code Fellows was a game-changer for my career. There are lots of technical training resources out there, but the staff at Code Fellows understands where the rubber meets the road.By that, I mean both:1) How to meet students, new or seasoned, where theyre at in their learning and technical ability; and2) Understanding the quickly changing opportunities and needs of the technical industry.My experience at Code Fellows set me up to be job-ready and able to jump into a major tech company with some skills that were both needed, and that my more experienced colleagues had not yet learned, allowing start offering value straight-away as I gradually got up to speed with the specifics of my new job.There is a requirement to do some independent (online) learning in order to be admitted to a non-intro Code Fellows course... so there is some natural filtering before classes begin. The actual course-time always seemed well-spent... offering a very high level of challenge, fast pace, and individualized support. Much of the work is collaborative -- another aspect that was very well-suited in preparing me for the jobs I transitioned to.I cant sing my praises loud enough -- Code Fellows was a FANTASTIC experience that changed my life, transitioned me into a new career (after completing graduate school and working for 8.5 years in a completely different industry), and lead me into a new network of friends and colleagues.

It was time for a career change and I knew I wanted to get into software but the impostor syndrome was a blocker; I never thought I could learn it without going to a 4 year university. I attended an info session and learned that this is a real technologist institute, with a large, dedicated instructional team. The leaders of this organization are well connected at the Big Four and they have a profound understanding of what theyre looking for in candidates these days. The game has changed and CodeFellows is leading the charge... in March 2020 I did not know what a boolean was. By August 14th, I was on a team presenting presenting our first collaboration on a Full-Stack Application built with React, MongoDB, Socket.io, and many other exciting, contemporary technologies.If youre brave and willing, these folks will take good care of you and help you discover, then channel your inner software engineer. After youve learned the skills, its not over! Theyll almost hold your hand and teach you how to secure gainful employment in your software area of interest, through every step of the process.Ive done my research and I have not yet encountered a coding school that does it all. Theyre even pandemic-proof! The level of support and aiding technologies available to students did not diminish catastrophically when COVID-19 hit. These folks pulled it together and were able to continue the same great curriculum and tutoring with few limitations... other schools nearly went out of business!Got some solid experience and serious work ethic, but feel obsolete? Looking to change your mind, and consequently your life for the better?Join Code Fellows with a simple phone call and stop delaying your success.Worth every penny!

Great staff, TAs and learning experience!

Something I love about Code Fellows is how I dont have to explain to people in tech what it is. I thoroughly enjoyed my time as a student - you get out what you put in, and the teaching staff was wonderful - but I really like that there are so many CF grads in various roles across the industry. One less barrier to entry.My first job out of CF was at Microsoft, and my teammate also went to CF. Neither of us had programming backgrounds before CF. These stories pop up more and more, too.One last thing: learning options. I went through the evenings/weekends JavaScript path, which took a total of 36 part-time weeks. This allowed me to work full time and handle whatever other responsibilities I had while also shifting my professional life in a new direction. Not many places offer flexibility like this. Its possible to not have to drop everything and make a change, which I found very helpful (plus the extra work time helped topics sink in).If youre interested in a code school, you cant not consider Code Fellows as an option. Go see for yourself!

Code Fellows was a great experience. Their program took me from a programming novice to having the skills and tools of a real world developer, as well as providing an environment that closely mimics that of a tech start-up. While the program can be very intense it really puts you through your paces, and leaves you feeling empowered on the other side.

I began Code Fellows in June of 2016 and graduated from the Full Stack JavaScript course in November. With a background in nursing and no prior programming experience, the curriculum was challenging and demanding.Although its a fast paced learning environment that comes with a number of challenges, the content, course structure, instructors, and staff really enable students to be their full potential.What has made CF such a great experience for me has been the significant emphasis on community that they have as an organization. Since day one, instructors and staff have been approachable and have shown a genuine interest in encouraging and helping students to be the best that they can be. They also take student feedback seriously and work hard to make improvements and meet needs accordingly.After graduating CF, I started working as a TA for the following 401 JavaScript cohort. During my work experience, the emphasis on community and inclusivity has been the same that I experienced as a student.I feel like my feedback is valuable and that the staff/instructors work collaboratively to ensure that students are getting the best curriculum and learning experience that we can provide.Code Fellows is an awesome organization to be apart of.

Successfully got a Software Developer job, 5 months at Code Fellows + 5 months studying and applying = 10 months total.I attended CodeFellows from October 2018 thru March 2019 (5 months), and then spent the following 5 months building my portfolio website, learning in the areas I felt weak in, and looking for a job. In reality I wanted to have a portfolio I was somewhat happy with before applying so I wasnt really applying for the whole 5 months.At CodeFellows there are 3 levels, which is nice, because they only bill you at the start of each level (as opposed to the whole lump sum up front), the first 2 levels (201 and 301) are 100% focused on Javascript (no other languages). The 3rd and final level (401) lets you pick which language you want to specialize in (when I attended in 2018/19 the options were: JavaScript, Java, Python, and C#). The last course is the longest and most expensive. I did the JavaScript course, which I would fully recommend. I (personal opinion here) think that JavaScript and the JavaScript curriculum is the most relevant for finding a job for a junior developer. I didnt take the other courses and I dont hire developers so I cant say for sure.In the JavaScript track you learn a ton of good stuff. And in my job I have used much of it extensively and repeatedly, and often. It was actually kind-of surprising to me how similar to the project weeks the actual job was (Code Fellows project weeks are intense 4-day team projects, where you often have to learn and apply stuff youve never done). My formal job duties are as a front-end software developer, which is why I feel the React portion of the course is most applicable and marketable. In addition, due to the nature of the JavaScript full stack curriculum, I also feel empowered to tackle backend problems. There is a lot of time spent covering things like APIs and in my job Ive run across both C# and Java APIs and feel right at home.I do feel the curriculum was really relevant. This is something that my brother (a pro dev of ~10 years) helped me look at when deciding whether to do a bootcamp, and which bootcamp to do. As part of the vetting process I also met the people, who at CodeFellows are all very nice and supportive --- they do meet-and-greets for prospective students where you can meet current students, alumni, and staff to get a better idea of whether you want to attend and get recommendations -- pretty useful.Its not all roses. Going through CodeFellows is not guaranteed to land you a job - your hard work and persistence is what you will need to rely on for that. The program is pretty hard... no single concept is really difficult if enough time is spent on it, but there are new concepts introduced almost every day, and I didnt feel like I had time to master every concept. Do this for 5 months straight and it does take some mental fortitude to get through it.One thing that I think had some room for improvement was the job support. The people who were there and helped me did a great job, but as an institution, the process could have, I think, been a little better. It could be different now.... when I had just finished the program there had been some staff changes in the job support program. Im also not sure what they could have done differently though - I just know it could have been better - possibly better integration with local businesses? i.e. more practice (but not really practice) interviews with local companies (I did get to do a mock interview with Microsoft). Maybe setting up informational interviews? tours? On-site job fairs?

Code Fellows has been a difficult but rewarding experience. I have left code201 for javascript feeling confident in the fundamentals of the language and am looking forward the next two classes. The instructors and TAs are always readily available to help you with your lab work and bring with them varying styles and approaches to learn from. Overall its been an excellent experience.

My experience with Code Fellows was awesome. Their developers program provides you with the necessary skills and experience to find your ideal career. Classes are small in size which lends to more 1-on-1 time with teachers and TAs. The curriculum is constantly being changed depending on what languages and frameworks are being used in the industry, so youre consistently up to speed with the latest technologies. Other perks include talks from industry insiders, resume/interview/whiteboard prep classes, post-graduation job search support, and more!

I was living in LA, planning to use my GI Bill funds to attend a code school that was advertising approval for GI Bill funds, turned out they werent actually approved. I found out Code Fellows was approved, got in touch with them and it has worked out great. After my time in the Air Force, I became a day trader but wanted something more, theres no community aspect in that industry. In the coding world, its all about community, its awesome to be in such a supportive environment. The discipline I learned in the Air Force really helped me understand the time, rigor and dedication needed to code. The instructors at Code Fellows are dedicated and put in a lot of hard work to help you succeed - Brian is awesome. If it werent for Code Fellows and their approval to accept GI Bill Funds, I probably wouldnt have had the opportunity to do this. Now I will be able to find a career doing what I enjoy most - coding!

Great course structure!

I went to the open house last night and they had instructors there to answer all of my questions. I had my mind made up about if I wanted to attend with them before hand, but after open house, I know for sure I want to join with them and get started. They have really great modern programs. I was nervous kind of expecting people to be kind of stuck up or ritzy, but they all are down to earth people and made me feel really comfortable. I hope more people that have similar interests check them out.

I went to the Code Fellows Open house. After going to the school and checking it out and everything, I was pretty amazed and will apply to there foundation class to get started. I recommend if you have any interest in computer and want the tools to succeed in our modern society, this is the school. Please go to the open house it will tell you everything you need to know. I cant wait to start!!!

Went to a code workshop, as a white male I definitely didnt fell welcome. Then to top it off they post this ad that shows up in my google feed Its not just for the white, the male, the wealthy, the privileged, the college-educated.

Im a musician, an Army veteran and recently got my BS in audio engineering. When I entered the corporate world, I couldnt find anything that seemed like a good fit for me. I was in a dead-end job when someone sent me a couple links for Code Fellows. When I contacted Code Fellows I really felt like I was talking to a real local person and was immediately comfortable and knew I would fit in. They helped me get set up with the GI Bill and before I knew it, I was on my way. I was excited and the Army really taught me the patience and willingness to work hard and fight through any challenges. My instructor Adam and classmates at Code Fellows were a great support as well. It was a really good feeling to know we were all in it together and wanted to help each other succeed. Code Fellows has given me the opportunity to create a better life for me and my family.

Taking the 401 Python class. Its super hard but Im learning a lot. The more you put in to it the more youll get out. When the course is over you will still have to work hard to learn more and find a job, but Code Fellows puts you in a good spot.

Very awesome

Knowledgeable instructors

Alright everyone, the scoop on CodeFellows is they are totally worth the money! This is coming from a pretty picky guy who was able to be pushed out of his comfort zone and not only learn tech skills, but collaborate with my cohorts who are the future of the workforce/ industry.Beyond my personal experience the teachers are great and super respectful! They have tons of TAs ( teaching assistants) who are always willing to help and explain things. Lets not forget a lot of the students here are able to learn from each other! This is a huge bonus in their immersive structure and design!Now look, its not all butterflies and flowers because coding is tough. Think of the experience as your foot in the door and its your job to progress and achieve professional success. The point is, no matter what level you come in at, you will be pushed to your own personal limits and come out on the other side a better coder and professional.If youre reading this and havent attended a course the question you need to ask is why you havent already dove into a course !James-February 2017 cohort-

Great instructors!

This bootcamp promises a lot but doesnt deliver. Notice how there are no former students commenting that they got jobs. I actually only read 1 comment here that was an actual student, the rest either work there or attended an orientation.I was in the Front End Dev course and most of us didnt get jobs. Neither did the previous grads who took our same class and students in the other classes. Shortly after we graduated the CEO told everyone they were no longer offering guaranteed refunds if you didnt get a job offer within 9 months. HmmmmWhen interviewing with companies(most didnt respond to resumes, so the few that did), were not impressed with code fellows, it meant nothing to them.The main point of going to a coding bootcamp is to get a job. Well turns out their Get a coding job by completing our course, is very untrue for the majority of the students(their website posts false statistics on the number of grads). What does happen is you pay them at least 12k (if you test into the highest course and start there right away, like I did) for about 3 months of learning and afterwards go to a real college, where employers then take where you went to school seriously.For me and most of the students here, it has been a colossal waste of money and time. Seems more like a scam to me.

I went to their orientation, hoping I could take a course in a particular language I want to augment. Its a ubiquitous language that assist in programming the biggest ecommerce platform in the world, so you would think it could be part of their curriculum, certainly as much as Python. Javascript, of course, made sense to me that they were teaching that, although they alluded that Node.js came first in the general courses.OK?I was told they graduate people in iOS, javascript, and Python only. They said this was because these stacks were the best ones in which to get hired.. They also said a lot of their instructors were former students which kind of reminded me of MLM. They claim a 90% six-months after graduation placement rate. While I was there, a guy who was friends with someone else who graduated came in, and it turned out his friend was not working yet. They were moving out of the center of Amazonia, which was giving them great advertising, but maybe it wasnt appreciated by the powers that be. Their new office is still downtown, but much less cool.My biggest issue was that the structure. The 101 level is $99 for the day(since this is an intro day only, set up MAYBE to scare off newbies, you would think it could be less). Still, not much for instruction, unless you find out it was utterly pointless and are desperate. After that, however, 201 is $3500, and 301 is $4500,but you dont start an actual specialized track until the 401 level, which is $12000.Youre basically paying $8000 for some sort of fundamentals which are supposed to prep you for jscript and/or iOS. Seems to me 8k could get you some pretty good tutoring to five straight into either jscript or IOS, or you could go into a community college program, or grind your way through an online course for much less.Its not that 20k is too much to pay if you actually end up programming jscript or iOS, but I had an issue with paying that 8k upfront just to ramp up, although they claim you can test past these levels. Again, this didnt make sense either. What do they test you on? CSS?They claim to have a great success rate, and the vibe seemed professional, especially their claims to prep students for interviews, as well as networking, but how do you know that until you see it coming out the other end? Lot of money, and the orienteer made it clear they were for profit, and this was why they needed to protect their reputation. They also said it was really hard to place at Amazon, and mentioned the same three companies over and over, and none of them were the majors, minus one big travel company. Go to the orientation and see for yourself, but there are no shortcuts. Still, maybe its possible these guys can get you your moneys worth. As I said, forking over 8k without knowing what track Im on was a real issue for me.

So for a baseline here, I have not attended this school, nor have I spoken to anyone from it. Which is exactly why I am leaving this review. I had some questions about their programs, the main one being despite their large advertisements for job placement or your money back, and the high starting salaries and all those great selling points, what they dont mention is that these are for the Development accelerator classes, not for the boot camps. From what Ive found the bootcamps offer no guarantees for employment, increases in salary, or any other benefits.Now what makes this difficult, and the reason at this point Im rating them 3 stars, is because its impossible to find google search results for what you get out of their BOOT CAMP program, because every other agency in the nation refers to their main training program as a boot camp. so if you google code fellows boot camp employment opportunities or something similar, itll bring up their main stats, cleverly, but thats not the stats for the actual boot camp.Theyve done something no other group has done, and changed the common-name of their main program. So when you attend a Code Fellows boot camp, you are not attending the same boot camp as any other school in the country, nor are you receiving the same level of training, and that makes it nearly impossible to research. Now why would a business want to cover up the information so cleverly if they are legitimate?So I called them. 2pm on 5/4/2015 I called them, no answer despite it being a business day during business hours. Maybe they were busy? So I called the Portland office. Its a cell phone number I believe, judging by the area code, which is also a bit suspicious, but did not recieve an answer there either. And as a prior note, I had sent an inquiry via their email on 5/1/2015 with these questions that as of today, 5/10/2015 has still not been replied to.After not receiving a response on the first two calls/voicemails and the email, I attempted to contact them again, this time a bit more warily, because what kind of legitimate business, that expects you to pay upwards of 10,000, doesnt answer their phone during business hours? On 5/8/2015, one week after my initial contact, I called again and again both phones just went to voicemail. I left messages again, and we will see if they bother responding.But this does not speak well for a company. If you want people to invest in you, you have to show some level of reliability. you would expect the same from us as students, but if you cannot be depended on to even answer your phone, it doesnt matter how great your program reviews are, no one except for those who dont care to do their homework will attend your school.In my experience, a business that does not value its customers, is not someone I want to do business with or trust my future in. You can all make your own opinions, as obviously mine has nothing to do with the quality of the education provided but rather entirely to do with the quality of the institution, but I would definitely be careful with this one until you/I know more. I think I can update this review later, or perhaps write another one after I have reached the school and feel more confidence in them, but at this point, this is my review.Edit: 5/11/2015 The school did contact me today, and made it very clear that while the job placement guarantees and salaries and all that were related to the development accelerators, it is not impossible with a few months practice inbetween a bootcamp and the next Dev Accelerator, and if you are a sharp person who either has prior experience or the drive to REALLY learn, you can get into the next class. They typically appear to know who will be cut out for it by the end of the bootcamp, so youd better shine during that time. They also made it seem somewhat less risky just taking a bootcamp, that while it does not make you software developer ready, it does make you intern ready, and interns get paid. if you want a foot in the door people, the question has been answered, the bootcamp will do it

Great school. Currently attending the front end UX class.

It was design for individuals who have been coding. It is really designed for web developers.

Love this place!
