Feedback from Code Academy Graduates

Toni Vasilev

“Before I started my training at Code Academy, I had some experience in programming, as I had studied Java at university. Undoubtedly, the problems and challenges I faced as a student led me to seek additional support and training. Before the course at Code Academy, I had some concerns about my ability to adapt to new technical concepts. However, thanks to the structured and easily understandable course, I not only overcame these doubts but also noticed a significant improvement in my programming skills and confidence. Now, with a clear perspective on programming in front of me, I would confidently recommend Code Academy to anyone looking for not just technical but also practical experience in the world of programming. If anyone has doubts or concerns about the value of the training, do not hesitate to write to me.”

“Before I enrolled in the Code Academy courses, I was studying Java during my time at university. However, I failed to understand and like it. This motivated me to seek further training, and that’s how I came across Code Academy’s courses. I am extremely pleased with my decision to join them. The distinctive approach to learning at Code Academy was what enchanted me the most. The courses there were unlike the traditional academic lectures I was accustomed to. Instead, the teaching method was focused on facilitating the understanding of both theoretical and practical parts. The most significant thing that Code Academy provided me – something the university failed to offer – was the opportunity to genuinely become interested in programming. This was an exceptionally exciting discovery for me and supported my determination to continue developing in the field of software engineering.”

Before starting my training at Code Academy, I had no experience in programming. I worked in a completely different field, and after a few years of reaching the maximum, I decided to look for something new and different that would allow me to continuously develop. Code Academy gave me a solid foundation, on which I build my knowledge and skills. Some of the most useful skills I developed at the academy include how to approach problem-solving, how to meet deadlines, and how to work in a team with colleagues. For me, all these skills are fundamental for a programmer to be successful and efficient at their workplace. Thank you to the entire team!

Thank you once again to the entire team for providing me with the opportunity to work together! Here is my feedback on my journey at Code Academy. Before starting my training at Code Academy, I was just a first-year student who had no idea how to start her career in programming. Although I was studying a computer specialty at university, I still wasn’t convinced that I had the foundational knowledge necessary to excel. This lack of confidence made me fearful of taking this step in my life. After the training, I was extremely pleased that I had dared to step out of my comfort zone. The material we worked with was extensive and intensive, which made it possible to easily assimilate the topics. My instructors are professionals in their work, as well as exceptional individuals, dedicated and always ready to help. We had the opportunity to work on both group and individual projects, which provided a perfect balance between theory and practice. After successfully completing the academy, I started working at Strypes. This experience not only improved my programming skills but also significantly changed my life in every respect. If anyone has doubts or concerns about the value of working with Code Academy, they can write me an email – a.konarcheva03@gmail.com or on Linkedin; I will be happy to answer any questions.
