What our students say about us

I joined Get Coding last year while working in the seasonal construction industry. With the flexibility of the program and the knowledgeable team, I was able to turn a new found passion into a career. I was able to learn at my pace, and get back what I put into my training; which I could not have gotten from another program. I would highly recommend Get Coding to anyone wishing to get personalized experience in the tech industry.

If I could only choose two words to describe Get Coding they would be “Life changing”. For eight years, I was stuck in a job that, I didn't enjoy. The flexibility of Get Coding gave me the opportunity to change that. Looking back, I can honestly say that joining Get Coding was one of the best decisions I've ever made. The experience has been truly life-changing, and I'm grateful every day for the skills and opportunities that I gained.

I have learned more than I have from any other program or school. I came into the program with no knowledge of Software Development or where to begin.

Get Coding really helped me to launch my career in tech! I was able to learn at my own pace and work on building real projects from day one. Having the opportunity to work one-on-one with industry mentors was also very valuable. For anyone who is looking for a way to get started in tech, I recommend you check out the Get Coding program!

I started with Get Coding while working in the Alberta construction industry, having never before written a line of code. After one year, I've landed a job as a software developer, and have been able to move back home to Newfoundland. This transition was only possible thanks to the invaluable direction and knowledge of the coaches I worked with. I cannot recommend Get Coding highly enough to anybody who wishes to take the step into tech!

I found what made it all work was the ability to do it on my own time, I wasn't in the position to drop everything and go back to school, I needed my job to support my family, so Get Coding made it possible to learn this new skill and continue to work. All in all, it was a life changing experience and I couldn't be happier with where my career is now, and where it is headed!

What am I actually paying for?

You are mainly paying for the 1-on-1 coaching session, during which we provide you with code review, industry insights, and direction to complement your training. We also curate the resources we think will get you to your goals quicker and provide you with 24/7 troubleshooting for when you get stuck.

How do I get into Phase II?

If you are accepted into Phase I, it does not mean you will automatically be enrolled into Phase II. After Phase I is over, the Get Coding team will review your experience and performance. If you enjoy the structure of Get Coding, and we are happy with your performance, you will be given admission into Phase II.

How long is the program?

It takes between 6 - 12 months, depending on how quickly you learn, how much time you spend and what projects you choose to build.

What technical knowledge is required to join the program?

Nothing really. Curiosity for technology and being comfortable with your computer and browser.

Does everyone get into the program?

We reserve the right to refuse entry to our program to anyone.

What do you look for when accepting a new student?

We generally look for commitment and aptitude for learning how to code. As well as an understanding of the local, and global tech sectors. We test this by using our Admission Project and evaluate the student based on their Admission Interview answers.

How big of a commitment is this?

We believe you need to dedicate at least 15 hours a week to practicing to see results. You can stop at any time. There is no long-term commitment.

Do you offer a certificate for completing the course?

We do not believe certificates are a good measure of technical skills. You shouldn't either. Instead, we focus on you building a real portfolio of live projects that "wow" others.

Have a different question?

Schedule a time with us here and there we can answer any questions or explain how the program works more in depth.
