We offer beginner-friendly classes in web development, mobile development and web design. For beginners looking to change careers, the best option is the Web Development Intensive. This is a full-time course, designed to take you from beginner to junior full-stack developer in three months. For those beginners who are unable take a full-time class, we offer part-time evening courses in web development, iOS development and UI/UX design. We also offer beginner 2- and 4-week Code Camps for Kids, Teens, and Adults during the summer. Check out the class pages for more information, or contact one of our admissions counselors at 844-322-CODE (2633) to learn more.
Our curriculum may be rigorous, but students at NYCDA learn in a laid back environment with plenty of freedom to work on their own projects in between lectures.
When you enroll here, the school becomes your space too! We welcome all of our students to use our space to study and work on projects. In fact, most of our students come in early or stay late to get extra help or collaborate with one another.
Grab a coffee and join us for an informal code review between classes!
Online courses are great for getting started, but aren’t meant to train developers for the workplace. Our project-based curriculum, focus on group projects and collaboration, and talented instructors immerse students in the developer community. You won’t just learn languages as standalone skills. You’ll grow as a well-rounded programmer.
Our instructors do their best to monitor students’ progress and are available by email. We also offer weekend study groups and office hours for students who need a little extra help.
The New York Code + Design Academy courses are not credit bearing. The New York Code + Design Academy does not accept credit from other institutions.
