Coding Bootcamp Praha

I recently attended Coding Bootcamp Praha, and despite some unexpected challenges that arose during my first attempt, I am pleased to say that my overall experience was exceptional. Unfortunately, after two weeks in the program, I was struck with a serious illness that required me to quit the bootcamp. It was a difficult decision to make, as I was really enjoying my time at the bootcamp. However, my health had to take precedence. I was disheartened, thinking that I would have to abandon my coding dreams altogether.However, when I reached out to the team to explain my situation, I was met with nothing but understanding. They assured me that I would be welcomed back once I was ready to resume my studies. After recovering from my illness, I decided to rejoin in the next batch. The curriculum was well-structured and comprehensive, providing me with the necessary skills and knowledge to thrive in the coding industry. The bootcamp also fostered a strong sense of community and collaboration. I was able to connect with fellow students who were supportive and encouraging, and we often worked together on projects and problem-solving exercises. Overall, I cannot express enough appreciation for the support and understanding I received from the entire team. Thanks to their compassion and dedication, I was able to complete the program successfully and embark on a fulfilling career in coding.If you are considering attending a coding bootcamp, I wholeheartedly recommend Coding Bootcamp Praha. You can trust that they will be there for you every step of the way.

I must say that my experience with Coding Bootcamp Praha was fantastic. From the moment I enrolled, I felt like I was part of a supportive community. The mentors were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to go the extra mile to help us understand complex concepts. Whenever I got stuck on a particularly challenging problem, I could count on them to provide clear and concise explanations that helped me overcome my difficulties.But what really impressed me was the career support they provided. As someone who was transitioning into a career in tech, I was initially nervous about my job prospects. However, they were there every step of the way to help me prepare for the job search. Through mock interview, resume reviews, and by chatting one-to-one, they helped me hone my interviewing skills and present myself in the best possible light to potential employers. Thanks to their guidance, I felt confident and prepared when I went into job interviews, and I ultimately landed a job within six weeks after the bootcamp.Overall, I would highly recommend Coding Bootcamp Praha to anyone looking to start a career in tech. The mentors are great, the community is supportive, and the career support is really helpful. If you are willing to put in the work, they will give you all the tools you need to succeed. 

I enjoyed my bootcamp experience and it was a fantastic one. The syllabus was well-structured and covered a wide range of topics that gave me a solid foundation in coding. I particularly appreciated the focus on Javascript and PHP, as they are both incredibly versatile languages that are widely used in the industry.

The instructors provided excellent guidance and support throughout the program. I enjoyed the interaction with them and found them to be knowledgeable, approachable, and passionate about teaching. One thing that stood out to me was their willingness to go above and beyond to help us understand complex concepts. For example, during one of the sessions, we were learning about OOP, and I was struggling to wrap my head around it. The instructor noticed my confusion and offered to stay after class to go over it with me one-on-one. He patiently walked me through the steps, and I finally understood how OOP worked (or at least the basic idea of it :) ). I was really grateful for this.

Overall, I would highly recommend this coding bootcamp to anyone looking to jumpstart their coding career. 

PROS:
+ The course offers a comprehensive introduction to web design and general programming concepts.
+ The instructors were patient, personable, and experienced in the field.
+ The office is located in the center of one of the most beautiful cities in Europe.
+ Classes can also be attended online.


ALSO NOTE:
- It's a full-time commitment for 12 weeks.
- The fast-paced environment requires a self-starter mentality, strong communication skills, and a positive attitude.
- The bootcamp gives you resources and guidance to learn the skills, build your CV, and find a job, but you have to put in the effort to get the results.


I attended the batch of Fall 2021, and I landed my first job in the field two weeks after Demo Day. Best career decision I ever made

Due to family reasons, I took the full programme online, thus my experience might differ a little from those who studied in person. I certainly might have missed out on getting to know my classmates better but I’m more of an introverted person anyways, thus studying online would have been my preferred choice even if I did not have small kids at home and did not live 600 km away from Prague :) Here’s what I have found out about studying online:
NEUTRAL:-gaining new knowledge is the same, you hear the same instructions, get access to the same materials etc-you cooperate with both online and in-person students and you are encouraged to do so-the mentors can help you equally no matter where you are
PROS:-having more / bigger monitors at your disposal -studying online means you save time on commuting, so you have more time to study-suits everyone who prefers spending more time alone rather than in a group of people-easier to organise your day if you have family / other responsibilities
CONS:-but you also have many more distractions (your close ones, household chores, TV etc)-it’s not always easy to feel motivated -asking questions means more proactivity from you-you have to get fast at things like sharing screen, muting, unmuting etc, or else you waste a lot of time
Regarding the programme itself, I have learnt much more than I expected. My goal was not to apply for a job right away because I prefer to spend a couple more months both studying & having a little more flexibility for my family. From that perspective, my experience is not very usual as most of the other students were interviewing for jobs as soon as possible. So, that’s it and if you wish to study web development online, I can fully recommend the programme.

Throughout my life I realised that everything comes down the people who I meet and interact with, whether it's been in my past jobs, while travelling, or in my social circle. You can have the best project or job but if you don't enjoy the people you work with, you still struggle. And this is my intro to what I enjoyed most about my experience with Coding Bootcamp Praha - the people! Everyone from the team was not only nice but also really helpful. It was well organised, you could see that it's been running for a while and even little details were thought through. But even more importantly - at least for me- the mentors were experienced at working with juniors and endlessly patient at explaining, and re-explaining. It's not that I did not pay attention, its just that often I simply had hard time grasping a new topic and I found it very reassuring that I could always ask again and again without feeling dumb :) my big thanks to the team, hope to see you again sometime!

I was looking for a course where I could jump start my carrier in Web Development. 
The curriculum and the teaching method (lectures led by an instructor) were the two things that made me choose this course. 
The pre-bootcamp studies that are suggested were very helpful to easily adapt to the course, understand the content and get the most out of teaching hours. The pace and the content were delivered in a very professional way with a lot of support from all the staff. The additional material and guidance by the instructors was the best someone could ask. No matter the issue there was always an instructor or mentor that could help you.
What is more, the hackathons were placed perfectly in the course timeline and allowed me to combine all the knowledge of the previous days into one project, work with my fellow students and produce a product that before the course would seem impossible!
Also, the   curriculum includes the best technologies that are currently in demand and as they are current and relevant, they have helped me during the job finding process.
Finally, I would suggest to prepare yourself for a very intense 12-week course that requires your full attention and every hour is packed with information and knowledge that you are going to use in your future job. 

The final project was the best experience I ever had as I had to work with like-minding people to produce a product that would showcase all ours skills and hard work and could be used in our portfolio .

Perspective is everything, so I'll start with some info about myself. I have had a bit of an "IT thinking", experience working with structured data going in and some with technical documentation, but no knowledge of any programming languages aside from high school IT classes 15+ years ago. From this starting situation, I found the studies to be well structured and presented at a manageable pace, if at the price of doing the exercises even after teaching hours (which is BTW expected). However, especially with the latter your mileage might admittedly vary, based on your previous experience.
The content of the course itself should prepare you well enough to be able to apply to junior positions related to HTML/CSS, PHP or JavaScript. Both me and the classmates I've been in contact with did find their jobs eventually, some of us after months, some of us pretty much right after the bootcamp came to an end, depending on the progress we made during the course, but also confidence and luck. Of course, in that job, you'll still see a ton of specific things the course doesn't explicitly teach, based on where you end up, but you should know enough basics to be able to handle it.

Regarding the lectors, they are knowledgeable, helpful and friendly.

Never attending any other bootcamp to have a reference, it's rather hard to objectively justify any rating I would give, but still, I'm substracting one star in Job Support, since while the course technically does provide a Job guarantee (and as I've said, we have found a job, anyway), the conditions to be eligible are pretty harsh.

Overall, I'd recommend the course if you want to steer your career in this direction. Especially so, if you, like me, have poor discipline to learn at your own.

 The course helped me to move from false beginner to someone who can actually make it in the field. I started studying programming about ten times in the past few years. Every time I either attended some short workshop or mostly I studies through the online websites. I learnt always a bit, I had fun.. but then it got hard and I didn’t know how to progress further. After going through the same cycle for the last time I decided that I need more guidance and structure for my learning if I actually want to make it In the field.  The fact that I had mentors helping me each day, that I had organised classes and I knew what I should learn was one of the most important things for me about studying with the bootcamp. It also helped me understand how to approach my studies, what is crucial and what maybe less so. I also learnt many tweaks that can make you much more efficient and what are some of the good practices (and what not :-) ). I think it would take me several more years to get to the level I have now, simply because I would have to figure out everything myself somehow.  What I also appreciated was that I could learn with all the other students. I studied partially in class and partially online and it was great knowing that there’s always someone I can study with. As being stuck on your own is even less fun! We shared jokes, we struggled together, we pushed together, and Im super grateful I could meet all of my classmates.
