Savvy Coders offers a 12-week intensive course to gain an understanding of how to use data.
Throughout the course, our placement specialist will work with you individually to hone your resume and LinkedIn profile. The course will include opportunities to polish job-seeking skills such as mock interviews and preparation for Demo Day where students will present their capstone projects. During the course, students often have the opportunity to interview for potential jobs. Savvy Coders is committed to helping every student secure a position in which these skills will be used.
Our classes are instructor-led in either a small, in-person classroom or virtual classroom. This program is taught at an accelerated pace so that after just 12 weeks, students can tackle many of the basics needed to start them on a path toward coding success. Every class will focus on what one needs to know (and nothing they don’t). We also offer financial aid options for qualifying students.
