    Incredible teachers - I had a great experience.

    I entered SPICED Academy a couple of months after graduating from a bachelor's of economics. I am passionate about development economics and technology and I want to work in social entrepreneurship. I had been trying to learn how to code for a long time, so I chose a bootcamp for an intense learning environment, and I decided on Berlin both because I adore the city and because its tech scene is thriving (and it's great for beginners, so many meetups!). I fell on SPICED by chanc...

    Worth It 100000%

    Before SPICED, I had been working in the Berlin tech/startup scene for about two years as a journalist. After a startup I was working for went under, I knew I wanted to expand my knowledge and find a new comfort in the industry. I stumbled across SPICED by chance, but I'm so glad that I did. 

    I'm not going to lie to you. My time at SPICED was frustrating, exhausting and emotionally draining... but it was also equally fulfilling, rewarding and empowering. Learning a new skill can ...

    Best experience for starting learning code!

    I am a musician from France, and decided to join the full-stack course at the SPICED Academy in April 2017. I just finished the course and I'm now focused on finding a job in France. 

    I was a beginner and was wondering what we could learn in just 12 weeks. I had now idea about front-end, back-end, databases and large concepts of web development so that was really a new start for me... And we learnt a lot ! That's crazy, I feel now prepared to find a job of developer, and this is ...

    A Wise Choice to Begin a New Chapter

    I've been a tech recruiter in Silicon Valley (with companies such as Facebook) for many years and I must say that if you've been wanting to start a career in web development while wanting to explore new cultures, there's no better place to be than the Spiced Academy. Spiced has some of the best curriculum and teachers focused on critical thinking/fundamental skills needed in both interviews and when on the job. They'll help you go from knowing very little about the digital world to securel...

    Completely worth it!

    I am an architect but a couple of years ago I became very interested in computer science and coding. I decided it was something I definitely wanted to learn, but I couldn't find the will to do it by myself online, nor the time to take a university degree.

    After reviewing several bootcamps both in the US and in the EU, I finally found the right one! Much better than anything in London, Barcelona, Madrid... Why?

    - First of all, they have a great professional team. Everyon...

    My time at SPICED Academy was wonderful, not only because of the tools acquired for data analysis, which have made me more competitive professionally, but also because of the professional growth!
    The incredible support of the teachers, their commitment to teach and accompany me in every part of the process made me acquire tools that I never imagined I would have.
    I highly recommend this course and this academy. I can confirm that even if you do not have knowledge in programming or ...

    Brilliant Material and Supportive Atmosphere

    I participated in a Data Science bootcamp from the Spiced Academy. Due to the very well prepared teaching material, exciting hands-on exercises, detailed and clear technical instructions, good teaching sessions, and a positive and supportive atmosphere, it was a very good experience, I wouldn't like to miss. The example exercises are interesting and provide the needed, extensive hands-on training. The topics covered provide the foundations for beginning your own projects. Furthermore, I ...

    Learned as much as one can in 12 weeks

    I will start off by saying I am very happy with my experience at SPICED Academy's Data Science Bootcamp, because I learned as much as one can about the topic in the period of 12 weeks (any more and my head would have exploded) and I felt like I was among close friends with the other students, teachers and staff there.

    I was accepted to 3 data science bootcamps overall, but I decided for SPICED Academy for 3 reasons:
    - I got great feedback from alumni
    - The material is at my ...

    Great Experience, structured and hands-on bootcamp

     I was lucky and happy to be able to experience the 12 week Full Stack Web Development Bootcamp at Spiced Academy. I found the course was lay out in a very structured and logical way. You dont just learn the the easiest method to get to solve a problem but are encouraged to find your own way. The instructors at Spiced give you all the tools you need as a basic tool kit to not only solve course tasks but being able to get to viable solutions for the time after the bootcamp.

    Getting to my goal faster

    I had already been working as a test automation engineer and was seeking new challenges, when I decided to join Spiced Academy.  I had done online courses previously but Spiced Academy's full-stack program fast-tracked my learning. It gave me structure and focus, and my instructors were my most valuable resource. Though some topics were difficult, I never felt lost thanks to the help of my instructors and my cohort. They offered insights without spoon-feeding, and encouraged me to consid...

    Totally worth it

    I attended the three month data science course from november 2020 until february 2021. It is a comprehensive curriculum and you really learn a lot. The knowledge you acquire gives you a good foundation to work in this field as a junior data scientist, even with next to no prior knowledge. The course enabled me to land a job as a data scientist some weeks later.
