I recently completed the Codeworks bootcamp, and I can confidently say that it was an incredibly enriching experience. The course is meticulously designed, starting with the fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and progressively moving on to full-stack development using Node.js and popular frontend frameworks like Angular and React. The curriculum is well-crafted and ensures that by the end of the course, students are well-prepared to build robust, full-stack applications.One of the standout aspects of Codeworks is the instructor coordinator, Brent. He leads the teaching team with a clear and effective approach to instruction. Brent emphasizes problem-solving and self-reliance, which really pushes students to develop their critical thinking and coding skills. While the course is undeniably intense, Brent and the other instructors strike a perfect balance between encouraging independence and providing support. I had the pleasure of meeting with Brent a few times, and each interaction reinforced how dedicated and thoughtful the teaching approach at Codeworks is.The bootcamp is demanding, but students who come in with the right mindset—curiosity, a strong work ethic, and a willingness to step outside their comfort zones—will thrive. The only instances where I saw students struggle were when they weren't interested in challenging themselves beyond their existing knowledge. That said, even with my 10 years of coding experience, I found the bootcamp to be incredibly valuable. The environment at Codeworks is nothing short of inspiring. The positive atmosphere and the constant encouragement to tackle ambitious projects allowed me to grow in ways I never expected.The course is also great for beginners. Many in my cohort came in with little or no coding experience, and they thrived. The precourse material, completed as part of the application process, does an excellent job of teaching the fundamentals of JavaScript. We also spent the first few days of the bootcamp recapping this material in more detail, providing a solid foundation from which to build for the rest of the course. This approach makes the course approachable for beginners while still being challenging enough for those with more experience.At Codeworks, students also create their own projects, entirely led by themselves, which allows them to build incredible full-stack applications to add to their portfolios. These projects push their skills to a level that truly sets them apart. The experience of working on these projects closely mimics the environments developers encounter every day in the workplace, providing invaluable real-world experience.Moreover, Codeworks sets you up brilliantly to enter employment afterward if you wish to get a job in computer science. Maria runs the careers department and is available to help Codeworks alumni long after graduation. The structure of the course lends itself toward employment. Students cover the main tasks that junior developers will encounter in the workforce, making them far more attractive to employers. Not only do they develop strong individual coding abilities, but they also gain skills in writing tests and collaborating within a team on projects using industry-standard tools such as Git and GitHub. This knowledge of testing frameworks and methodologies, as well as proficiency with versioning tools, makes Codeworks graduates particularly attractive to potential employers.In the final week, Codeworks prepares students for job hunting, helping them get ready to enter the job market. Maria assists students in finding resources in their area for job postings and supports each student in crafting the perfect CV, LinkedIn profile, and GitHub. By the end of the week, each student leaves Codeworks with a finely crafted professional persona, ready to apply for a wide range of coding-related jobs. After graduation, students can choose to participate in weekly group calls to support their job search, and Maria is more than happy to do one-on-one calls when needed.The community built by the students and staff at Codeworks is outstanding. Every student learns from one another and pushes each other to get the best out of themselves. Rather than competing against one another, the students work together, exchanging ideas and knowledge. This sense of community and the drive to build everyone up creates an incredibly supportive atmosphere to enter every day. The same is true of the teacher-student relationship. It’s far more of a mentorship role than that of a typical teacher. By not even the end of the course, more like halfway through, we all felt that the staff on the course were friends and mentors. Rather than just having teachers, I now feel like I have a set of mentors who I can turn to even after finishing the course. It’s great being able to chat with them and exchange ideas and knowledge. They all have incredible depths of knowledge to draw from, and their insights are invaluable.I would recommend being in-person if at all possible, as it helps develop this relationship with the staff and fellow students, and I think these relationships are the most valuable part of the course. I was on the London campus, and it was an incredible experience. We interacted with the other campuses and remote students every day. The remote students are also incredibly well supported and had a great time, but a few admitted that they wished they had chosen to join one of the campuses. They could see how much it helped us to have a physical space and surrounding ourselves with other students and staff added another dimension to our experience.In summary, Codeworks is more than just a coding bootcamp—it’s a transformative experience. Whether you’re a beginner or have years of experience like myself, you’ll find the curriculum, the instructors, and the overall environment to be top-notch. I highly recommend Codeworks to anyone looking to take their coding skills to the next level, build strong professional relationships, and set themselves up for a successful career in tech.

Codeworks curriculum and instructors are phenomenal. I tend to overthink and over research when spending a lot of money on a program and consequently have a lot of experience and familiarity with different programs. I actually started attending the App Academy online program. App Academy is known to be one of the top school in the states but their online program at least, I found to be severely lacking. You only had exposure to one instructor, who was also a recent graduate of the program.

I also took a NuCamp program, which for the cost was good but it doesn't really get you job ready. Codeworks on the other hand, has a much higher barrier to entry. You have to do some fairly advanced coding just to get in and know JavaScript fairly well under the hood. You also need to do a technical and culture fit interview, along with building a basic app. So I do agree that the take you from 30% to 100%, rather than the typical beginner to 70%. You get much more out of it, having already done work ahead of time.

Their instructors are also industry veterans and very nice people, who work hard for you. I actually signed up for the full Software Dev program but only had the time to complete the shorter course, so I missed out on the group projects but don't think that hurt me much. Overall the curriculum is excellent. We got exposure to numerous frameworks, ie: Angular (not a fan, haha!), React (love it!). One thing I forgot to add in my other review, you get the complete developer experience. Many courses I took in the past left out some aspects of development but here you build full stack apps, with database connections, API's and all.

We did spend time on data structures and algorithms. For me this was the most challenging aspect and feel it would use a bit more fine tuning and thought into how best to learn these concepts. The only other draw back was that if at any time you have to pause the program and join up with a later cohort, you lose access to the learning platform and are cut off from communication from other students. Also, once you graduate, you lose access to the learning platform as well and all github repos from the lessons are pulled. I have never taken a program where this was the case. Typically you have life time access to these kinds of assets but they guard them closely. However they do say to make copies of what you want for notes so it's not the end of the world.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this program. It's quite a bit less expensive than something like App Academy and in my opinion, at a higher level. Read less

My experience at Codeworks Bootcamp was intense but incredibly rewarding. It provided the immersive experience I was seeking. While the onus was on me to put in the hard work, Codeworks provided invaluable support and gave me the tools to continue learning and improving my skills. The post-bootcamp support in finding a job was crucial and greatly aided my career change. Overall, despite the challenges, Codeworks played a significant role in my journey. Read less

Overall I am really please with Codeworks' Web Development Immersive bootcamp. Codeworks' curriculum is structured into several phases, each targeting specific skills and knowledge areas that gave me what I need to break into the industry. Here's a breakdown:

Pre-course (remote): Students begin with a 60-hour preparatory course covering the fundamentals of programming, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. This phase ensures that all attendees have a baseline level of knowledge before diving deeper.

Main Course (I did remotely): This phase is the core of the bootcamp, lasting 8 weeks (12 weeks if you do Software Engineering Immersive). It is divided into two main sections:

- Junior Phase: Focuses on foundational web technologies like JavaScript ES6+, React, Node.js, Express, and SQL & NoSQL databases. It also covers essential concepts in software engineering such as data structures, algorithms, and version control with Git.

- Senior Phase: Shifts focus towards more complex topics, including security and authentication. 

If you go for the software engineering immersive, you'll also learn about DevOps practices, including continuous integration and deployment, which are highly valued in the industry.

Projects and Hands-On Learning: The curriculum emphasizes real-world applicability through project-based learning. I went through one solo project, but if again if you are on the 12 week program, you'll get to experience 2 more group projects which  really helps simulate real-life scenarios and working in teams to develop functional web applications.

Career Services and Industry Preparation: The bootcamp concludes with intensive job preparation workshops. These include mock interviews, portfolio development, and networking strategies, tailored to meet the demands of tech employers. Read less

It's probably the toughest bootcamp to get into, as well as one of the most demanding ones once you're in. However, because of the entry requirements the level of people that you work with is top notch. You graduate with the equivalent of 3 years of experience even though it's only 3 months long, and receive some stellar support to structure your job hunt. Read less

This is a very intense, but full of impactful results coding bootcamp.

What drew me to Codeworks was its rigorous selection process. Unlike other bootcamps, Codeworks sets the bar high even before you step through the door. This ensured that every student in the program shared a genuine passion for software development, creating an inspiring atmosphere from day one. I was fortunate to have good teachers and nice colleagues, though I understand that experiences may vary by cohort.
One of the standout features of Codeworks is its emphasis on practical learning and finding solutions independently. Also, you gain experience working on real-world projects that mirror the dynamics of professional software development environments, such as following Agile methodologies.
Of course, the bootcamp requires a significant commitment of time and energy. The bootcamp demands your full attention, with 12-hour days including Saturdays.  At times, it can feel a bit overwhelming. You need to be mentally strong and maintain a positive attitude, as new concepts to absorb come daily. There's also time to have fun though - at my campus, Saturday afternoons were for beers.
In hindsight, the challenges were an integral part of the transformative experience. I guess the dedication required is a testament to the program's effectiveness. I can say that my time at Codeworks was nothing short of transformative; if you're ready to fully commit to becoming a developer, Codeworks is the place to be. Read less
