Before starting my training at Code Academy, I had huge issues with time management and teamwork. After completing my training, I solidified my knowledge in C, Python, and gained direct exposure to the IT industry. I received real insight into what it means to be a programmer and encountered the problems and cases they face in their daily work.

At the beginning of my education, I started with courses at another academy and after a year and a half, with several completed modules, I began applying for junior positions and internships, but I wasn’t even invited for an interview. At that point, I was worried as I was already 35 years old and didn’t know what to do or what to learn to start working.
Then I came across the course at Code Academy, sponsored by Strypes, and I decided that this was my chance. The course involved technologies I hadn’t studied before and lasted only six months, which initially made me think that I wouldn’t learn much.
However, it turned out to be quite the opposite. The course was very intensive, with many hours of lectures, lots of exercises, and numerous projects. The course at Code Academy was very different from anything I had experienced before – a small group and attention to each student, assistance from experienced mentors, and teamwork on various projects. Additionally, I received feedback on what I needed to work on more. One of the most important things was that I received preparation for real interviews in a new field for me.
At the end of the course, I was confident in my knowledge of languages that scared most students, namely C-programming language, as well as Python, Linux, and Basic Bash. I had acquired teamwork skills, was prepared for interviews, and last but not least, I had many new friends and future colleagues. The best part was that at the end of the course, I received an interview invitation from Strypes, and after a month, I was already working as a Junior Developer.

Before starting my training at Code Academy, I worked in a completely different field – I designed buildings as an architect. I loved my profession, but the conditions for development and sustenance were becoming increasingly challenging. It was time for a change.
Gradually, even jokingly, I started looking into various programming courses, initially only in the evenings and with the least possible impact on my current job.
Later on, I came across the sponsored courses at Code Academy. There was a preliminary test and personal selection process to become one of the chosen ones. I thought, “Okay, I have nothing to lose, let’s give it a try.” I applied, and they liked me, so here I was facing a fateful decision. The course was intensive, and my knowledge was basic. It was impossible to work and study at the same time. So, after a little push from Code Academy, I took a sharp turn in my life path, dropped all my previous projects, rolled up my sleeves, and dedicated myself to the new goal.
Now, a year and a half after completing the course, I am grateful to Code Academy not only for that push but also for the preparation they provided me with. In just six months, they managed to prepare me to a level that would have taken me at least two years of evening classes and struggling at other places.
The sponsors of the course were also pleased, and I started working immediately after completion, without even having to look for a job. So, if anyone has doubts, my advice is – roll up your sleeves!

Before starting my training at Code Academy, I had no experience with programming. I worked in a completely different field, and after a few years, feeling like I reached a plateau in my development, I decided to seek something that wouldn’t allow me to stagnate and would give me the opportunity to learn new things every day. That’s when I came across the courses offered by Code Academy.
Of course, in the beginning, I had my concerns. I wondered if programming was for me, if I would be able to cope with it, and so on, but I decided to give it a try anyway.
During the training itself, I encountered quite a few difficulties due to my lack of prior experience. That’s where the academy’s team (including lecturers, mentors, and management) played a crucial role, providing support, assistance, and above all, motivation to me and all the other students.
In the end, I managed to successfully complete the course and start my first job as a Junior Developer. This helped me become more confident in my abilities and gave me the chance to develop in a vast field of work where boredom and monotony are the last things one can expect.

Prior to enrolling in Code Academy, I had doubts about whether just 6 months would be sufficient for someone like me, without prior education in the field. I had taken various courses before, but always felt like something was missing. I’m glad I decided to give Code Academy a try.
During the 6 months here, I discovered all the gaps in my knowledge. It’s true that the courses are intensive and the work is not easy, but in my opinion, anyone who has the desire, ambition, and perseverance is guaranteed to succeed with the help of the wonderful team at Code Academy. After the training, it didn’t take me long to successfully establish myself in the profession.
The decision to enroll in Code Academy’s courses was life-changing for me! Since completing the training and finding a job, everything has been moving forward and upward for me! As people say, the best time is now. If you have the desire, motivation, and discipline to improve yourself, enroll confidently – you have nothing to lose! In life, it’s better to try everything than to hesitate and regret missed opportunities for years to come!
