Hear from our graduates

Aleks - Python graduate
Data Warehouse Specialist

“CodingNomads is my second online bootcamp but it definitely stands in 1st place for me. Its community is small but friendly and in case of questions - you'll always receive an answer or feedback.

I've tried different books and free courses to learn Python, so I have some experience in self learning :) Based on this experience, I can say that CodingNomads Python online course is constructed with surprising balance... You will 100% need all this stuff if you want to be a programmer.”

John - Java graduate
Data Analyst

“Balancing work and learning Java was a real challenge, but the adaptability of CodingNomads made it much more manageable.

They offer a practical, career-focused perspective that feels more relevant than many traditional Computer Science degrees. Even though I chose to learn independently, I've always felt supported.

I highly recommend Coding Nomads to anyone aiming to master Java or take their skills to the next level.”

Anonymous - Data Science + ML graduate

“There are many online bootcamps in the world today, but there are some very specific traits that set CodingNomads apart in my mind.

My impression throughout the course was that the instructor possessed specific expertise in teaching highly technical material to adults who lack a background in this field. This is absolutely indispensable because a new field can be very intimidating if you have zero knowledge a priori on this topic, as I did. I can’t recommend them enough.”

Frequently asked questions

• 1. Should I learn to code?

  If you already have some introductory engineering skills or experience, then hard yes, you should keep learning to code because advanced skills are the most valuable.

  If you are fairly new or just getting started, it’s definitely worth it if you’ve got the right attitude about it. Some people thrive at coding, while others don’t.

  Here are the most common traits we see in successful software engineers:

  • Relentless persistence: willing to come back to the task

  • Positive attitude: willing to try again and again to get it right

  • Curiosity: you don’t have to learn, you want to learn

  • Loves solving problems: low-key obsessively

  • Confidence: it’s not if you succeed, it’s when you succeed

  • The ability and desire to teach oneself: the learning never stops

  • Laughs in the face of adversity: not really but kinda

  If a good portion of those traits sound like you, then yes, coding could be great for you! If you’re willing to develop some of those soft skills, then yes, coding could still be great for you! Still not sure? Check out our blog - Is Coding For Me?

  2. What are the prerequisites for learning to code?

  Our 101 courses ( Python 101 , Java 101, JavaScript 101) start from complete scratch and assume you have no experience, so complete beginners are welcome and encouraged.

  The only prerequisites for learning to code are the traits of software engineers mentioned in the FAQ above, Should I learn to code? It’s important to develop and lean into these soft skills to be successful while learning, and while performing the job.

  3. How long does it take to learn to code?

  To go from beginner to professional in our Career Tracks, it takes most people 9-12 months studying 15-20+ hours per week. Where you fall in that range depends on your experience, how fast you learn, and how much time and persistence you can regularly commit.

  It goes by fast when you compare it to the rest of your life. A year of study now will pay off forever.

  Here’s generally how long it takes to learn to code, and what you learn in each phase:

  • 2-4 months: Programming fundamentals like Java, Python SQL, Git & GitHub.

  • 2-4 months: Advanced frameworks and disciplines like Data Science + Machine Learning, Spring Framework, or Django.

  • 1-2+ months: Capstone project, which is required to really tie your skills together and start qualifying for entry-level internships, apprenticeships, gigs, and jobs.

  • 1-6+ months: Job search, if applicable. Continued study and ever more complex project development.

  In our programs you can learn at the pace that works for you. If you want more structure and 1:1 mentor support, see our Bootcamp programs.

  5. Do I get a certificate?

  Yes. Get third-party credibility for your skills with verified certificates of completion. After completing the required coursework and project(s) for each individual course you can request a certificate. These certificates are shareable and hosted on CodingNomads’ site. Here’s a certificate example. You can request a certificate for each course you complete. Completion of the coursework on the platform and on your GitHub is verified before certificates are issued. If necessary our team will provide feedback for any remaining elements or updates needed to issue your certificate.

• 6. What does membership include?

  Membership is ideal for self-learners who want to keep costs low but still get personal support when needed. If you prefer to learn at your own pace without weekly commitments or time constraints, CodingNomads' membership is an ideal program for you.

  Here’s what membership includes:

  • Beginner-to-professional curriculum across 18+ comprehensive courses and 3 Career Track programs

  • Member Discord access to get dedicated, personal support and network with other engineers, learners, mentors, course authors, and freedom seekers.

  • Unlimited access to 1500+ written tutorials

  • Unlimited access to 700+ tutorial videos, on-screen IDEs, hundreds of quizzes, journals, solutions, and projects that will help you build your skills to a professional level

  • Course completion certifications to build credibility

• 7. Are the courses project-based?

  Yes. We teach the common everyday tasks of software engineers, so you get plenty of practice building projects using real-world developer tools. Each course guides you through building at least one project - and sometimes several, which are required to receive a completion certificate. Read more about our course structure in the next FAQ.

• 8. Is it all videos? All text? Or both?

  Unlike many programs that focus on one or the other, our curriculum follows a “read something, watch something, do something” format:

  • First, you read documentation that introduces a concept.

  • Next, you watch a video that demonstrates the concept's.

  • Finally, you practice lab exercises, assignments, quizzes, journals, projects and more.

  This mixed style of curriculum helps you reinforce learning, build muscle memory, and practice implementing new concepts into your projects.
