Austin Coding Academy

I went to Austin Coding Academy in 2023. I began in person and switched to online. The administration was helpful. The teachers were professional and knowledgeable. The unlimited individual tutoring was a big part of what made the bootcamp worthwhile to me, as otherwise most of the learning is done on your own and, other than providing a general structure, differs little from self-study in that regard. 2023 was a difficult year for the industry and I believe most people will have to go above and beyond with personal projects and networking in order to be employed as a web developer. But if you have the drive, are interested in learning to code, and would like a bit of guidance and personalized support on your journey-- I believe Austin Coding Academy could be a good option for you.

I researched many schools in the Austin area before choosing the Austin Coding Academy. The reason I chose them was because they offered the best quality at an exceptional price. I come from a Finance background and I have never worked in IT before. The intro course is very informative and detailed. As soon as you begin classes the school brings in guest speakers and IT recruiters. I love the field trips we take as well. Halfway thru my Intro course the career services team placed me in a new job within the IT industry. It occurred very fast and I am very grateful for all their instruction and help. My goal is to have a better work-life balance and the Austin Coding Academy has already helped me get my foot in the door. I am very excited to see what opportunities will be presented to me once I complete the entire Full Stack Developer program. Choosing to attend the Austin Coding Academy has proven to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Austin Coding Academy was a phenomenal experience for me. I had a little experience in web design and coding, so I knew I would enjoy it, but classes at ACA really pushed that passion forward. Instructors and staff are really driven and so obviously love what they do - they all go the extra mile to make sure you are getting everything you can out of class. Our instructor, Jake, and TA, Victoria, were always available to us and both had a very natural gift for teaching. I enjoyed classes and homework so much that it never actually felt like ‘school’ or ‘work.’ ACA really strives to make their environment community-oriented, which allowed me to learn from classmates and even make great friends! I'm astonished at the amount of knowledge I gained in three short months and would recommend ACA to anyone I know.

Austin Coding Academy provides a great learning experience! However, the flipped classroom style is not for everyone; it takes discipline to learn concepts outside of class. The instructors are very knowledgeable and are very helpful in making the concepts easier to grasp. ACA also provides a lot of resources to keep up with the class including awesome TA's and tutors will flexible schedules. The only downside is the class size was larger than I anticipated.

I just completed the entire Full Stack curriculum at Austin Coding Academy and not only did they help me transition my career into coding, they helped me land a JavaScript Engineering job before I even graduated. The instructors are 'wicked smart', the curriculum is challenging in a good way, and the community is incredibly supportive. I recommend anyone looking for an upgrade to their skill set or a complete career change to look no further than Austin Coding Academy for the most affordable and flexible option available in Austin.

Challenging classes lead by an incredible team! As a (previously) non-technical person it was very very rewarding to learn coding in a way that suited my schedule and pace of learning. The structure and pace of their classes are great and enable you to really choose how and what you'd like to learn. The ACA team is comprised of professionals full of great resources for students to take advantage of. Highly recommend for those wanting to up their skill set or change careers all together.

I took the front-end and back-end classes in 2014, and loved every minutes of it! The instructors were professional, knowledgeable, and always willing to help inside and outside of class. The founders were super involved in the entire process and were always looking for feedback - both positive and negative. As for the classes themselves, the front-end was more to my liking as I had dabbled in html and css prior. The back-end class was challenging and a bit less structured, but totally worth it. Both kept me extremely busy, and the instructors made it possible to advance further when I needed it and slow down when I struggled with a topic. Results: I am currently working with a classmate on freelance work, the resume website I made in the front-end class got me a part-time job with graphic design, and the back-end class let me get into some app creation with one of the founder's friends. Great people, waiting for my schedule to clear so I can take the intermediate classes!
