Hear first-hand from our alumni

“I'm switching over careers from a completely non-technical field to software development, and I couldn't have picked a better bootcamp to help me through this transition. Although I just graduated, I can say that in just the past 4 months I have learned a myriad of languages, technologies, and frameworks that I never would've imagined I could.”

Sheava Danesh
2020 App Academy Graduate
San Francisco Full-Time Software Engineering Program

“Within the first week, I knew I had made the right choice. The content of the program is very aligned with the job market today and everything is structured to give you the foundational knowledge you need to become a software engineer. On top of all that, they end the program with an amazing "career quest" that gives you more job search support than you could ever ask for.”

Ryan Maloney

24 Week Online Software Engineering Program

“With every step of the enrollment process, every person that I interacted with was genuinely excited for me and offering words of encouragement. Fast-forward to the last few weeks of my program, in the midst of designing and building a solo capstone project, that encouragement and support never faltered. This was by far the most challenging thing I've ever completed, but it was the most rewarding.”

Courtney Newcomer

“If you are looking to get into coding, this is for you. From my research, I knew App Academy was highly selective and very intense compared to some other bootcamps, but the graduation/placement stats were amazing. I'll be very honest, it does get very intense and sometimes stressful, but if you are able to push through that, it is a very rewarding outcome.”

Hammad Khalid
2021 App Academy Graduate
New York Full-Time Software Engineering Track

“Named the top bootcamp for a reason! I decided to attend this bootcamp after doing some thorough research on a couple bootcamps available within my area. AppAcademy's curriculum caught my eye amongst all of them because they're beginner friendly. The TA's provide great support along the way and are always within reach.”

Monica Liang Zheng

App Academy delivers on all of their promises and I couldn't have been more pleased with my decision to place my education in their hands. The company culture makes for a great learning environment and I was able to make strong connections with instructors and fellow students. Most importantly, App Academy gave me the confidence to tackle the job search head on!
