    Allen E.

  • “One year ago, I didn’t know a single line of code. … Through the affordable and fast-tracked Coding Boot Camp, I was able to move from a stagnant, underpaid career to an elevated world of opportunity …. My instructor brought a passion and excitement to every class. … My career director made me believe in myself every week. … I cannot say enough good things about her. If I can recommend anything to other students as they go through the program: ‘…Do everything your career director says and you WILL be employed before you know it.’ … The Coding Boot Camp has changed my life.
