The Best Chicago Coding Bootcamps Of 2024

I had the absolute pleasure of being in this bootcamp. We had a wonderful instructor Peter Jang with patience that most saints could not muster. He was informative and fun to learn from and I came in with little to no knowledge of coding and was able to follow along and learn the basics of coding. He made sure to spark the wonder for research and figuring out the problems not just giving up and saying I don't know. He offered time and expertise in so many ways to all of my classmates we all have come so far and truly will be successful due to this course.

I recently transitioned from graphic design to cyber security, and I'm grateful for Evolve Academy's support. Despite no prior IT knowledge, the transition was smooth due to their comprehensive assistance. Step-by-step guidance, teacher availability, and recorded lectures provided a personalized and flexible learning experience. Collaborative classes pushed me out of my comfort zone, and concerns about isolation were alleviated by a supportive virtual community. Mike, an exceptional teacher, guided me with patience. Now actively seeking cyber security opportunities, I feel well-prepared and confident, thanks to Evolve Academy's thorough training. The skills acquired surpass those from a Google Cyber Security course. This investment equips me to handle real-world scenarios, setting me apart in the job market and boosting my overall confidence.

I just recently graduated from Code Platoon's Immersive Full-Stack Software Engineering program this month and I can't say enough positive things about this program and the staff that work there. I was extremely worried starting the program because I had a previous bad experience with another SE Bootcamp called FlatIron because they didn't actually teach you any lessons in the bootcamp and only offered minimum support for learning the concepts, so I wasn't sure what to expect going into Code Platoon's program. However, I had absolutely no reason to worry because Code Platoon is far superior to the other bootcamp and the staff genuinely care about their students and will put the time in to make sure you understand the topics and concepts. The instructors presented the lectures in ways that made it easy to follow and ask questions and if you didn't understand they'd break the concept down a different way to help make it clear. They always encouraged questions and class participation and were always available to offer assistance to students if you are struggling. I felt as though they really cared about ensuring each one of us in our cohort was successful in the program. They also offer a robust curriculum that prepares you with the fundamentals as well as languages such as Django, PostgreSQL, Flask, React, etc. We also always had TAs available to help us during class hours and after hours to ensure we weren't getting stuck on problems or issues. During the program they also setup Beyond Tech Talks and brought in employers to prepare us for topics we needed to know going into a tech career. Finally, their Career Services and Job Assistance also goes above and beyond as they incorporate several topics like behavioral interviews, technical interviews, job search best practices, etc to make sure we are prepared for job searching as soon as we complete the program. We also got to talk to employers like Google and DFR to learn about interviewing process best practices and what to expect in your first role. During the program they also set you up with a mentor and a volunteer resume coach to offer you additional support and resources. Code Platoon truly goes above and beyond to make sure their students are setup for success. As I stated above, this bootcamp is top notch and by far the best bootcamp out there for active duty military members and their families, as well as veterans and their families. I'm so grateful I was given the opportunity to complete this bootcamp. They also offer a variety of ways to pay for the program so you have flexibility. You won't regret attending this bootcamp!

To resume my career after a career break in the financial industry, I wanted to have some value in addition to my skills when I came across Northwestern’s Fintech Boot Camp. Indeed, it proved to be my right decision and my journey during this Boot Camp was remarkable. I was blessed with a fantastic Professor( Mr. Erik Larson), great TA (Mr. Michael Wenner), well organized content and awesome resources. My teacher’s support allowed me to learn in depth about the cutting-edge technologies, such as Python, Pandas and the applications of machine learning, time series analysis and financial modeling in the financial industry. I would , without reservation, recommend and encourage anyone  who is interested in learning technology in the field of finance to participate in Northwestern Fintech Boot Camp. 

Embarking on the Techtorial SDET Bootcamp journey was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Transitioning from a non-technical background, I was seeking a program that not only taught me the fundamentals of software testing and automation but also provided a real-world application of these skills. This bootcamp delivered on all fronts.

The instructors at the bootcamp are genuine experts with a passion for teaching and a wealth of industry experience. They are very approachable, always ready to answer questions, and provide invaluable insights into the realities of working as an SDET. 

While the program is intensive and demands dedication, the skills, confidence, and career advancement it offers are incomparable. If you’re looking to break into software testing and development, Techtorial  SDET Bootcamp is an unparalleled choice.

Thank you to the entire Techtorial team for this transformative experience. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone looking to jumpstart their career in tech.

16 weeks may seem like a daunting time commitment, but the course is so worth it! The way the Data Science Dojo crew runs their bootcamp program is very thorough. The lessons and homework flow very intuitively. The modules covered build on concepts in a way that really helps with understanding. The instructors really promote class interaction which is good for tackling these topics in such a short time, getting our engagement rather than simply lecturing at us. They also encourage participation in a class Kaggle competition, which helps with additional free-form practical application of the concepts covered in class (plus some friendly competition for motivation). Most importantly, the instructors are very interactive, hands on, and passionate. They want to see every cohort succeed in their learning and you can see the labor of love that goes into teaching us, providing quality content both in the sessions and via the course site. This really sets them apart from other bootcamps, especially those provided online.

The course covers all the hot topics in the Data Science field, grounding in the perspective that the bootcamp is looking to prepare students with a broad range of experiences. I appreciate the context they provide and the thought that went into exposing us to a little bit of everything and the skills to jump in. 

Completing the Cognixia JUMP program has been an incredible journey, equipping me with essential skills and confidence for a career in tech. This comprehensive 4-week training in Java and SQL is meticulously designed to ensure participants excel in the tech industry.

The program's curriculum is structured to provide a thorough understanding of each concept, making even complex topics accessible. One of the most impactful aspects of JUMP is the emphasis on hands-on learning. Applying theoretical knowledge to real-world scenarios has been invaluable, solidifying my grasp on the material and preparing me for practical challenges.

Additionally, the program goes beyond technical training by offering extensive job interview preparation. This holistic approach ensures participants are not only skilled but also confident and ready to secure positions in the industry.

As a recent computer science graduate, this program has been the perfect supplement to my education, enhancing my coding skills and deepening my understanding of database management. The instructors are knowledgeable and supportive, fostering an environment where learning thrives.

For anyone looking to break into tech or enhance their existing skills, I wholeheartedly recommend the Cognixia JUMP program. It is an excellent opportunity to learn, grow, and advance your career.

Cybertek has equiped me with skills that could have taken me a very long time to acquire, its fast paced but with persistence and had work someone who is interested can hack it.

Product school was a great resource in helping me with my industry transfer into product management. My instructor, Toby Martin Hughes, was very informative and is definitely a very talented product management instructor. I am pleased to have attended this class, and look forward towards my career as a PM.

My experience was truly exceptional! You'll be paired with some of the most wonderful instructors who guide you every step of the way, along with personalized mentorship from extraordinary mentors. I’m confident that anyone will excel after completing this program. Speaking from personal experience, it’s a journey that will elevate your skills and open up new opportunities. 

My experience at the Grace Hopper Program changed my life in a myriad of ways. Their curriculum is extremely thorough and as they say, "they will not let you fail." I think though, that besides teaching me their specific stack, GHP really taught me how to think like a programmer. Since graduating I've been able to teach myself so many new languages and technologies because of this experience. I chose the program because I'm a nonbinary student and wanted to go somewhere where my identity would be respected, and I absolutely felt that throughout my experience. My cohortmates, fellows, and instructors were so supportive and still are even now after I've graduated. The pair programming enabled me to learn to speak technically and work with others in this new environment, and the workshops are still useful for me to go through even now that I'm an employed software engineer. I cannot recommend the Grace Hopper Program enough for any woman or nonbinary person looking to get into the technical field.
