Code for All_
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_>.

Worst school i ever went!!
I'll be very honest... I would give it a 0 if I could, I don't recommend anyone going to this school, it was the worst school I've ever attended! A complete robbery and a scheme organized with the Montepio bank! School in poor conditions, construction going on during classes, rooms with 40% more people than they said there would be, teachers not knowing how to speak Portuguese and not knowing how to explain, teachers missing days and days in a row without replacing the teacher when there...I'll be very honest... I would give it a 0 if I could, I don't recommend anyone going to this school, it was the worst school I've ever attended! A complete robbery and a scheme organized with the Montepio bank! School in poor conditions, construction going on during classes, rooms with 40% more people than they said there would be, teachers not knowing how to speak Portuguese and not knowing how to explain, teachers missing days and days in a row without replacing the teacher when there were several teachers walking around smoking cigarettes, but worst of all, they paint the school pink saying that everything is very good with guaranteed work at the end of the course, classes of 20 people MAXIMUM ( mine was 30...) and when you finish we don't even have work and the support given by the placement team is a joke... simply horrible I don't advise anything, what I advise is to talk to former students who already attended the school as I even bet that 70% of them are unemployed or have left the area. Not to mention signing the contract that was done online on the school's platform, worth €6500, which should never have been done online... but even so, when we tried to get the contract already signed before, we couldn't get it, if we ask the school later they will send a completely different one with all the conditions that were not met so as not to be in breach after the course had ended. An act of clowning literally delayed my life!!!

Amazing experience
My learning experience was amazing, I learn a world of things, really intense, but also really rewarding, human teachers, with a direct and no bullshit approach. They have an amazing placement team, that do not abandon us after the bootcamp is over, this is not the type of school that after they get the money, and all is over, they don't care about the students. I'm really happy I choose this school. - Rui CostaGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInApr 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fantastic
The best way to get started in the programming field. Very practical, intensive and dynamic. What an experience!
Lots of activities, and the final boss is the Hackton! The Sylabus is very well structured - Carlos Daniel Pires MinhosGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • PortoVerified by LinkedInApr 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Awesome experience
It was a great experience where we learnt about Java and Javascript and a lot of associated technologies and also delved into Agile methodologies. Did a few workshops and lectures about job hunting, which continued even after the bootcamp finished. - Rúben Almeida Lameira Neves Dos SantosGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInApr 19, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
life changing and eye opening
A real roller coaster of emotions, I never thought that it would turn out like this, through hard work I have become a very capable programmer with the skills to work anywhere and that by itself is amazing but I've also created friendships to last a lifetime... - Guilherme BonifacioStudent • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Very rewarding and challenging
Don't even know where to start... don't come in if you think its just a regular bootcamp/school experience. It will change your life, both in the people you will know, but most importantly the amount of knowledge and the way it's provided to us. The way they care about the information is transmitted is unique, and everyone will always look out for each other, specially the teachers. If you want to dive into the world of tech, this bootcamp is the way to go. - Francisco BrásCode Cadet • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by GitHubDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
best bootcamp in existance
Well I know that this would look like a text generated by chat-gpt but its not, this was the best bootcamp that I could have asked for, in here I not only got experience with being a full stack developer but also got a family instead of a class, the MC's (teachers) are awesome and always ready to help with anything that we needed, I would recommend this to everyone. - Catarina YumGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging and rewarding
The 14 weeks of bootcamp are very intense, challenging and hard to keep up with. If you are not highly focused and dedicated full-time, you can easily get lost, but if you commit to it you will learn a lot and acquire all the tools for a bright future. I feel very happy and satisfied with the overall experience! - Rafael BentoGraduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Intensive yet life changing
Coming out of a masters degree, I truly didn't believe about the intensity of this bootcamp when I was warned about it. It really is 14 weeks of pure programming, but I can say with confidence that it was worth the investment. The sheer quantity of technologies and tools taught in such a short amount of time is impressive. - Fernando CarvalhoJunior FullStack Developer • Graduate • 14-Week Intensive & Immersive Full-Stack Programming Bootcamp • LisbonVerified by LinkedInDec 22, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Absolutely Exceeds Expectations
Best 14 weeks of my life! Went in without any previous knowledge, and now I'm leaving with confidence in my newly developed skills and most of all, I'm leaving with a new family! I would gladly do it all over again :)
