Everything went as planned. I started as a 10-year of work experience nuclear power engineer and as a nuclear power researcher with 1.5 years of research experience. I had had coding experience with C and Matlab when at HUST and UNSW. Loving coding and decided to change my future career. Coder academy helped me to realize my dream. Now I've been working in the IT industry for more than 1 year as a full-stack developer. I'm enjoying the challenging and fruitful daily work life. Feel so lucky...
Pros
Knowledgeable lecturers, friendly and helpful TA. Endless chances of exposure to the real IT industry, receiving the speeches from the Industry. The internship included, which helped me to get my first job within one month. High intensity.
Cons
To some people, the study load is of high intensity, which could be a con. But I love this. Some widely used technologies are not covered. Like context, functional components in React. Well, you know you gotta do self-study in your future...

A good introduction to foundations

My experience at coder academy's fast track six month boot camp was generally positive, but I have significant criticisms surrounding the curriculum and extent to which all of the described learning outcomes are actually achieved, these are all things that in my opinion can be easily remedied. The teaching staff are really very excited and motivated, which matters a lot when you spend so much time together. I particularly enjoyed learning from the maths teacher who was really motivated and...
Pros
My favorite part of the diploma was the discrete mathematics module. For a number of weeks there were one or two hours of maths classes with a maths instructor. In my cohort she also made herself available before class started for people...
Cons
A big con for me is in privileging getting to know frameworks like react and rail and building, building, building similar apps to familiarize yourself with how to do that (which IS important) - the pressure is to just keep pumping these...

Joined the bootcamp as part of a work training program to upskill and transition internal employees into engineers. The course was tailor to the organisation's content requirement.
Pros
Instructors were helpful and knowledgeable about Java and full stack development. Content was covered live in class and available online for review. Time was set aside to work on challenges after the current topic exercise was completed....
Cons
Speed of topics covered didn't suit all learners. Either too fast or too slow. This was mitigated by splitting the class in two and having the people ahead buddy with the ones who need help. Which promoted peer learning and re-enforced...

Coder Academy's GenTech Bootcamp is designed for 17-25 year olds who want an accelerated pathway into technology. Whether you want to go straight into a Junior Developer career, or prefer to get a leg up before starting uni, this course was made with you in mind. Think of GenTech as the younger sibling of our highly successful Fast Track bootcamp. GenTech could be for you if you... - have recently left school and want a career in technology, but have missed out on training - are a great problem solver & high achiever, but need to build confidence in 21st century skills - want a fast track to a great career or to feeling super confident in STEM at university During our time working with schools, we’ve noticed that students aren’t receiving sufficient coding & stem training. (We’re working on it!) This means students like you aren’t quite prepared for computer science, IT, or engineering degrees straight out of school, which leads to high dropout rates - especially for young women. GenTech was designed as an intensive year-long coding course to help these students build a foundation to succeed in a stem university degree, or if they prefer, to provide access to fantastic career opportunities as a junior developer. HANDS-ON, ENGAGING LEARNING Focus on honing your coding skills in a collaborative and inspiring environment with like-minded classmates. MEET THE EXPERTS Foster strong industry relationships through coder academy’s network. With access to contacts from top tier tech companies, students develop meaningful connections with expert educators, mentors, guest speakers, and industry partners. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT Australia has a tight-knit developer community for students to get involved in. Set yourself apart by building valuable experience while you learn. Attend industry excursions, local hackathons, and other tech events. IN-DEMAND TECH SKILLS Graduate with the most in-demand, industry relevant set of programming skills in two technology stacks – Ruby on Rails & JavaScript mern stack (mongo, express, react & node). INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE Unlike university, colleges, or other bootcamp programs, Coder Academy coordinates a structured one month cadetship in industry. To enhance student learning, a key component of the GenTech program is introducing students to experts from industry and getting them comfortable with what is expected in the workplace. Coder Academy brings in numerous mentors from big tech companies like Atlassian, Gumtree Australia, and Amazon Web Services, and more, as well representatives from startups and agencies. Outside of the classroom, students are encouraged to partake in community tech events like hackathons, Meetups, and excursions. Unlike most education providers, Coder Academy is passionate about ensuring all of our students gain industry experience during the course of their study. During GenTech, students will partake in a 4-week long cadetship with anywhere between one and four companies in order to build connections, and better understand the demands and opportunities in the workplace. Students are matched with appropriate cadetship providers based on their career aspirations and performance during the bootcamp.
