    Coding Dojo Silicon Valley

    My cohort at Coding Dojo Silicon Valley began towards the end to September 2015 and concluded on the first week of January 2016. I accepted a full-time offer as a Web Developer at a digital agency on February 20th, 2016. I was very hesitant about joining a bootcamp, I knew I wanted to enroll in one eventually, but prolonged the process for a very long time because I wanted to feel perfectly prepared for this expensive decision. After completing the bootcamp, I can say with complete c...

    Don't bother!

    I recenty completed the online Coding Dojo bootcamp. I have some experience coding at home just from what I've learned myself (books, videos etc) so I thought I would learn faster through the Coding Dojo bootcamp, I was wrong!

    Coding Dojo works from a platform all students follow. An HTML section, a CSS section and so on. These are topped up with lectures and office hours through the week. The thing with Coding Dojo is if you are still working on an assignment after the lecture t...

    Most unethical place

    Just not too long ago, it all started with the one word, "trust." But the trust that was showed back to me was outrageous. "No asshoe type of attitude allowed", but instructors were constantly late. Absent without at least telling excuses, and ahead of time. Or, if they are around, they wouldn't even be in the room they are in charge of anyways. I have to e-mail or Slack them online when they are inside the same building, doing what? I really wonder too. Then, everytime I get hands on help...

    I would NOT recommend the program

    If you are interested in learning how to code this is not the place for you. Although they claim anyone can learn, it is quickly shown that is not the case. Not only you are constantly referred to Google every time you have a question, but they also teach about 2 lines of code per language which leaves you worst than what you started with. Leaving those that have no experience struggling and frustrated. I personally have attended Co...

    Mixed

     

    Attende LA remote and on site. While the Dojo has a solid curriculum that can indeed make one job ready, your performance and mastery of the content is directly correlated with the quality of your teacher. We had a great instructor for the first stack (PHP/LAMp) but the teachers were rotated and were so so for Javasceipt and iOS. In fact a lot of students ended up dropping out due to almost 0 help or benefit from under-qualified instructors. This was quite a disappointment as m...

    Overpriced school for underperformance

    Coding Dojo is basically a large scale investment for a bootcamp that will get you virtually no where. I often look at classmates from linkedin and most of them are still unemployed.

    Their method of training is cheap and wrong. You essentially spend most of your day watching prepared lectures and doing assignments. you can do all of this for around 10 bucks a course on udemys website. More over their career services is essentially useless and hence they constantly change team membe...
