You might already be familiar with Codecademy<\/a>. The bright and inviting platform is heralded<\/a> for its unique ability to provide affordable, accessible, and flexible courses on a wide array of in-demand tech skills. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike some coding bootcamps where students have to take long stretches of time off work, take out loans, or jump through other lifestyle hoops to participate, Codecademy is an e-learning platform that allows students to learn and challenge themselves on their own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But, there\u2019s a part of Codecademy you may not know about yet. Codecademy is not just a steady and consistent companion for learning to code, upskilling, and boosting career growth. It also has a streamlined, guided plan for landing an entry-level tech position, whether you\u2019re starting from scratch or making a career change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know the career you want but aren\u2019t sure how to get there, Codecademy\u2019s Career Paths<\/a> might just be what you need. With its Career Path option, you can go from beginner to career-ready in four to 12 months, while still benefiting from Codecademy\u2019s signature affordability and flexibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Codecademy\u2019s Career Path?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we get into the Career Path section, let\u2019s take a look at how the rest of Codecademy functions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Codecademy is an online learning platform with hundreds of courses available. You can select a specific language you want to learn, like this Learn CSS course<\/a>, and you will be guided through several lessons that will teach you the ins and outs of that specific coding language. You can also navigate by a specific goal or skill you want to learn, like this course that teaches you to build interactive JavaScript websites<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Career Path option is for those who want to use Codecademy to land a job in a specific field. Designed and curated by Codecademy\u2019s team of experts, Career Paths equip learners with the essential skills and knowledge they need to land an entry-level job in the field they wish to pursue. No prior experience is required, meaning that learners can go from zero to job-ready during the course. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Career Paths go beyond just the technical skills. Because landing the job is just as important as learning how to do the job, Codecademy also incorporates career-focused content like interview prep and portfolio projects throughout each Career Path. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which Codecademy Career Path Should You Take?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Codecademy offers Career Paths for the most in-demand fields in tech: web development, data science, and computer science. Within those categories, there are several Career Paths to choose from. Each Career Path is taught through lessons, quizzes, and projects that test your skills. Every part of your learning experience is hands-on, so you\u2019ll be practicing the whole time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that the estimated time to completion for each path<\/a> will vary by how much time you\u2019re able to put towards learning from week to week. On average, if you spend 10 hours of study per week, you\u2019ll complete a 350-hour Career Path in about eight months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Read on to see which Career Path is the right fit for your career goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
