Since the pandemic, Austin Coding Academy has really gone downhill. Last-minute schedule changes…read moreand overall disorganization have become the norm. It feels like they still haven't figured things out, and it's been pretty disappointing. The curriculum feels outdated and links to a bunch of youtube videos, which I could have seen for free. Plus, some of my peers aren't where they need to be, so it makes group projects suck. They seem to care more about the money than actual student success. Most of the positive reviews are from years ago. The place used to have a great reputation, but now it's just not the same. Until they sort things out, I wouldn't recommend Austin Coding Academy. There are other coding bootcamps out there with much better reputations and outcomes for a similar price.

Austin Coding Academy is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I just completed the intro…read morecourse, and I can confidently say that the intro course alone had a direct impact on my ability to secure a new, higher paying job that I love! Yes, there are 5 coding boot camps in Austin right now. Let me tell you what sets this program apart: 1. The Staff - The leadership and instructors at this school genuinely care deeply about 2 things. First, they care about you. They want you to succeed. They want you to make more money. They want you to take care of your family. And they do their best to make that happen through curriculum, project-based teaching, and networking. Second, they care about creating a workforce of people who can code well and contribute to the world. 2. They are affordable. Do the research yourself and compare, and these guys will still come out on top. 3. Last but not least, not only is the program designed for people who work full time, it is also broken into 3 10-week sessions. Maybe you're not sure if this is what you want to do for a living. Maybe you want to try out the first course and see how you do. You can do that here because you aren't forced into a long-term and expensive commitment. No matter what your education level may be (I never finished my Bachelor's degree), you can do this! I am planning on continuing this education, and you should plan on beginning it! *They are expanding to San Antonio, Dallas, and Houston as well.*

Best thing I've done in years - was joining Galvanize. It's a great downtown Austin location and…read moreawesome, comfortable space - but it's the people and the members that really make it. Bill Blackstone and the Galvanize crew are fantastic. They keep the space running great and full of interesting community events every week. Helpful, friendly, smart staff! The members are tremendous too. I've made many great new friends and business associates here. I've started new projects with members and built great relationships. Can you tell I like it?? Definitely worth checking out.

Are you looking for a Full-Stack Web Developer Bootcamp? if so, this is the perfect place for you…read more I'm currently in the Full-Stack program and I love it. I had no previous experience yet, I've learned so much in the last 4 months. They have great instructors, and the curriculum is well designed so you can have a very good experience throughout the program. We have instructors during the whole 6 months every single day, from 9 to 5 pm. They explain to us the topic of the day/week and then we work in different projects that helps us to practice the new stuff that we learn every day. The main reason that I choose Galvanize over other Bootcamps, is the timeline. Being a 6 months program I think offers you more time to wrap your head around new concepts and new languages such as JavaScript. In addition, you are a Galvanize member and get free access to the building even during the weekends. Another great thing is the support that they give you during your job hunting. They help you with the resume, cover letters and how to prepare for interviews. Personally, I've enjoyed very much my experience here, and I have nothing but great things to say about Galvanize.

I was looking for a career change when I was thinking about selling my small business. I decided on…read moretaking the 10 week online data analysis course. These courses might be great for someone who has their company paying for it but to me they're extremely overpriced if you're footing the bill and looking for a career change of any kind. Goes way too fast and it's just not likely for a 10 week course coming from no experience to become proficient enough to get a decent job in the field. The "advisor" told me no experience was necessary and the "front desk girl just finished that course and got a job". To me it feels like a lot of the for profit schools that tell you all you can do and charge a ton. There are basically free sites/courses that can teach you the same thing. I messed up and I accept that which is why I'm leaving this review to help the next guy/girl.

A+ for their Web Development Immersive Class…read more Before coming to General Assembly, I had little to no experience with coding. After 12 weeks of focus and hard work, thanks to GA, I have built a strong foundation for a career in front-end development by gaining exposure to a broad range of technologies. The intructors were fantastic. The experience they bring to the classroom taught us to think like developers by providing just enough guidance to maximize our time in the program while allowing us to struggle through obstacles the right way rather than taking shortcuts. I can honestly say I learned more during those three months than I did in college. Moreover, the outcomes team provided more than enough tools, and networking opportunities to land a job I was excited about. Make no mistake though, you will get out whatever effort you put into this course. Don't sign up if you're not ready to work hard. Beyond providing a hard skillset, this course inspired me to challenge myself and enjoy the learning process again. With each new project comes new puzzles to solve, and with each new language comes new obstacles to conquer and skills to master. On the whole, I'm thrilled to be graduating with the confidence to take on the ever-changing field of web development.

He went above and beyond and I would consider him a friend at this point. All the employees, from Raymond, to my recruiter, Hanifa, to the director, Dr. Johnson are all very hard workers and answered my calls and texts promptly, even on the weekends. They all work early to late for their students. They were easily accessible. All the students who were there with me were very friendly and we all encouraged each other. I passed my DPS skills test on the first try and couldn't be happier with this school. I would have given 5 stars but I rarely do, but I would definitely recommend! Happy Trucking!
