    Not worth it at all.

    They offered no job connections, even for those of us that graduated at the top of the class. The instructors were all previous dojo graduates with 0 real work experience. Horrible program (I have a job in tech now, but only after working for another year on my one. You can learn what the dojo teaches you for free online, don't go here.)

    Positive review overall

    It's a dense program that takes a lot of time and effort to be committed.
    I feel I have learned a lot, but I also feel the program length is not sufficient to gain enough confidence to start a career.
    There was a good amount of support when it came to having questions addressed. Also, there was an expectation for us to do much independent research.

    Great Experience!

    I chose Coding Dojo, because the price was right. Quite a few other camps I looked into were very expensive. Coding dojo had many options on curriculum as well. The learning platform was very great and intuitive. It did have access issues at times, but it never lasted too long and there was always someone there to help. The community and instructors were great, very genuine and nice, and most of all patient. I am glad I went, and will continue to study from this platform. I do wish I wou...

    Full stack coding program

    I recently finished Coding Dojo and really enjoyed the entire experience.  The program revolves around going through and completing 3 full stacks in addition to web fundamentals and daily algorithms.  The reason I picked Coding Dojo of all the various local and remote learning bootcamps is the focus on Algorithms and problem solving  while getting a chance to work with multiple backend technologies in addition to the normal front end work.  Coming from a background in tech--outside of de...

    This was my third programming bootcamp but first full-time virtual learning experience. With previous experience learning HTML, CSS, Javascript and SQL, I was humbled by their unique approach to each stack. The online platform was informative, concise and methodical. The assignments reiterated over lecture material while allowing creative freedom. The belt exams were challenging and engaging. Their Virtual Workplace made it easy to connect, ask questions and learn from the national commu...

    Wonderful Instructors

     Lots of free time that you need to manage yourself, but instructors are always available to help and teach in ways that make the material fun. Recommend giving yourself more time in the day than you might expect as homework can sometimes be a bit hard to grasp on first look.

    Amazing overall experience!

    I graduated from the online part-time program just last week! I got to learn the Python/ Django stack which only in 4 months I feel so competent at it. Though, of course there are always new things to learn and always room for improvement. I think that without the bootcamp I would not be able to learn all these things in such speed. I highly recommend it, though you need to know that it is quite intensive and it will require a lot of effort from the student (as it is always in any kind o...

    Amazing Experience

    I just graduated online bootcamp at Coding Dojo. It is very intense and challenging program. I started with zero knowledge in programming and in 16 weeks I can build a website as a full stack developer. I’m very impressed with this program. If you are ready to put time and effort every day and complete all assignments, you going to have amazing results. I would definitely recommend Coding Dojo.

    Course Evaluation

    Coding Dojo truly takes you from knowing nothing to being able to build a web application utilizing both front and back end languages. They teach you crucial aspects like OOP and database usage WITHOUT giving you all of the answers. This was frustrating for some students but I think this helped us become better developers. It forced students to utilize research and outside sources to figure out problems. This is truly what it is like in the industry, therefore it makes you a better dev. ...

    From CrUd to a Breeze

    I really feel like coding went from a bunch of crap letters and symbols to a breeze. I feel like I can learn anything when it comes to coding now. The instructors and staff are very caring. They work long after hours to help you. Your cohort mates are generally very friendly and ready to help too. It really teaches you how to learn how to code not just to learn how to code if that makes sense.

    Unparalleled Experience!

    I had my eye on the Coding Dojo for several years before making the leap to enter the program. It is a huge commitment to dedicate 14 solid weeks of your time and resources to learning 3 full stacks. But if you've ever seen Coding Dojo testimonial videos pop up on your YouTube feed from alumni talking about how awesome the program is, then you've seen and heard the truth! Without question, entering this program was the best decision I have ever made for my career. The Coding Dojo creates...
