“I spent years building up this solid career in a mechanical field. Good job, stable income, the whole nine yards. But there was always this... I don't know, this feeling, I guess? I kept finding myself drawn to the software world—checking out coding tutorials in my free time, tinkering with little Android projects.
I took the plunge: quit my job, applied at redAcademy. Was it scary? Definitely. I mean, I was leaving behind everything I'd built for years. Starting over isn't easy, especially not at my age. But every time I get an app to do what I want, that feeling makes it all worth it. I'm learning new things every day, and I haven't felt this excited about work in years. ”

“I started the program with no prior experience in coding. I first learned to communicate and work with a team, which was something new to me. Communication is a skill we all need in life so we can share our views across. I worked alongside an amazing team and management that was so supportive, people who pushed me to my best abilities ”

“I’ve always had a passion and interest in technology, and this program gave me exactly what I was looking for gaining experience in both backend and frontend development Including automation testing. Not only did I get to learn an incredible range of skills, but I also applied them in real client projects, something that made me feel like I was truly part of the industry. ”

“redAcademy was a game-changer for me. Straight out of high school, I had no idea what I wanted to do, and computer work was definitely not on my list. But after attending RedAcademy, I discovered a hidden passion for coding, just the thought of what you are dealing with was very interesting. Their supportive and knowledgeable team guided me through the learning process, helping me build the skills I needed to feel as strong and passionate about software development. They also helped me work on what I lacked the most, which is my confidence in speaking in front of an audience and believing in myself. I'm so grateful for the opportunities redAcademy has opened up for me, and that leaves me in a Junior Software Engineer role. ”
