Testimonials

Upskill Fund Partners With CodeX Academy

Codex Academy has been a big experience for me as an immigrant and a supposed IT expert.  The last time I worked with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript was in the early 2000s and I thought that I still knew it all.  Codex Academy taught me that learning is forever and it opened up to me a whole new world of stuff people do in Front End Development.  I am also grateful to Brian, Phil, Reina for the help they have provided me and for their patience.  Codex Academy has been a blessing and I am grateful.

Learning with CodeX was a great decision. The mentors are patient, helpful, and go the extra mile to make sure you fully understand every level of developing. Them along with the faculty and other students treat each other like family. And that gives you a good feeling, when learning about something for the first time, to know that you’re not alone on your journey. There is always someone there to help. They are very hands on with every aspect of your learning, from the beginning to completion and your placement period afterwards. If you’re thinking of starting your coding career, I recommend CodeX Academy.

A year ago it was difficult to build an app or sometimes even a simple website. And now I can say thanks to Codex Academy I was hired as a Software Engineer. Trust the process and you will have the tools and skills to succeed.
