PSA: SHADY. Do not go here. It is a giant waste of your money and time. i attended Wyncode in 2018. They cost waaaaaaaaay too much money for what they give you. You can easily learn to code by going to the many online courses out there. my advice: there are soooo many resources on the internet and books that can help: code school, code academy, udemy, big nerd ranch books on amazon. They even make you use some of those resources and its like THIS IS ALREADY FREE. WE ARE PAYING YOU TO TEACH US. Sigh... They dont have a lot of their own content. It is no where near thorough enough. They dont really provide job help, they just make you go look for the jobs and write down how you contacted the employers and if you followed up.

ALSO if you let them know about a job opportunity or interview you may get, they tell other people to apply and compete AGAINST YOU. I had a hard time finding a job in miami but I got one at a great company in West Palm beach. No thanks to them. They were disorganized especally about events. They also put distracting things in the classroom and invited this weird frat house feeling. There would be alcohol available and for certain people it is not a good idea... some people got way to messed up. This was supposed to be a place of learning but sometimes did not feel like it.
They needed more aides in classroom. the students you work with can be immature and not that bright because they accept anybody willing to give them thousands. Sometimes political climate would make me and others feel weird especially with comments some have said in classroom and intolerance of others.

I have a bachelors already it is in bio and minor in agribusiness. but to be honest if you wanna pay over 10K (or even 5K to be honest) to learn to code or for any type of classes just go back and get a MASTERS or take local community college classes. maybe online UF, FIU, Broward college, or Miami Dade college. I take classes at FIU now to extend my learning with science or tech and those can be way more cost effective (wayyy more) and you learn more thoroughly. it also looks better to your employer that you are always continually learning and not following a gimmick "give me a job" cash grab academy with no real diploma or standing with employers beyond the few they network with that will accept 2 or 3 people per cycle. It doesnt take that long to learn to code from the resources on the internet or taking a class locally.
