App Academy - San Francisco, California

I enrolled in October 2023 so I could have a final solution to my unemployment problems, given my difficulty with finding and holding jobs in my field and area, despite my myriad qualifications, but given my severe mental illness that would emerge later in the following year, I found it difficult to focus and eventually requested a medical deferral. They are accommodating to disabled individuals such as I, and have shown greater flexibility in recent times, but I ultimately needed to be medically discharged from the program due to said mental issues, and they were accommodating in that regard as well. A decent program, but not for everyone, since even the part-time version requires a great deal of focus.

Can't say enough positive things about App Academy. I was already a physical therapist when I decided to switch careers, App Academy (while a rigorous course) was excellent at teaching the fundamental of programming and helping me land my first software engineering job. Most importantly the amount of support I've gotten from App Academy even after graduating has been excellent, with alumni services and plenty of room for professional growth.
App Academy really holds up its end of the deal of teaching software development and helping people get software engineering jobs, and I couldn't be more thankful.

The best Academic decision of my life! App Academy is highly invested in not just teaching to code but also making sure you grow in your career. They offer opportunities to connect with Alumni as well as resources to assist you in finding jobs (even after you have landed your first job and your tuition has been paid).

I cannot recommend App Academy enough.

App Academy has changed my life for the better. It was one of the best decisions I have made and I am truly grateful to have had the opportunity.

The course is not easy. It requires a ton of work to be put in, outside and inside the course itself. If you are in the full time curriculum then you have to go at it full time.

The instructors do their best to help teach you how to learn and cover the important skills you'll need for web development. It is also up to you to fill in the rest. I felt like I always had an instructor available to answer my questions and help when I was stuck. They also do their best to keep people motivated even though the course is draining!

If you truly want to succeed you have to give it your all. You get out what you put in. If you want to change careers then App Academy is a fantastic choice.

App Academy helped kick start my career as a Software Engineer. I attended the 4 month program and within a year I started my first software engineer position with a great company. App Academy helped further my SWE knowledge, build a great portfolio for the job search, and provided access to invaluable resources. I also met great individuals in the instructors and fellow students. The program was intensive and required a lot of hard work but it paid off.

I am very happy that I joined App Academy. I was very nervous of an idea of going to a bootcamp but I knew couple of App academy alumni and they all had great things to say about app academy. It was definitely intense course but if you are willing to work hard, your effort definitely pays off. I received so much help and support from everyone (students, TAs and coaches), and that definitely played a huge role in me being persistent on studying and on job search.

I graduated App Academy 5 years ago and it changed my life. I started with no coding experience and was guided all the way to a high paying interesting job as a software engineer. I recommended it to a friend who is in the program now and it's the same high quality instruction. I believe in their business model because it aligns their and your incentives.

This program is rigorous and challenging. It's an all consuming experience that might not be right for everyone. But it's super effective. The community of life long learners is incredible. I made connections there that I'll have the rest of my life. The skills I learned are an excellent base to build upon. I was employed 2 weeks after graduation.

Going through App Academy was a game changer for me. I came with a Master's degree in Biotechnology and found little satisfaction in my job. App Academy's intense program completely transformed me into a Software Engineer. I found a new job at a software company within a few months of graduating from App Academy and I've been very satisfied since. It's been 5 years and this is one of the best things that has happened to me career-wise.
