I had taken one class in high school and college on coding, but I didn’t really understand coding or even like it. During my sophomore year of college, I left Indiana University and joined ElevenFifty academy. I was able to learn how to code iPhone apps and backends. Afterward, without any college degree, I was able to make $84,000 in my first software developer job in California for a Cybersecurity company that has an app with 10 million users. Then, I ended up starting my own app company. I ended up building the entire iPhone and Android app and backend for my startup. My app has been downloaded thousands of times. We were accepted into the top startup accelerator in the world (Y Combinator) that has produced startups like Airbnb, DoorDash, and Twitch. We were featured in Forbes, and we were able to raise $1.5 million in venture capital on a $12 million valuation. ElevenFifty changed my life in many ways. Coding is the new form of literacy, and I highly highly suggest that you learn. ElevenFifty does a phenomenal job of getting you from 0 to 100! It does take some hard work, but it is definitely worth it. read less

I'm sure they have changed and improved a lot in the past six years, but I will speak a bit about my experience. The philosophy is very much about immersive coding. The days were long hours of learning and working on code projects, but at the end of the week, I felt my aptitude was at another level.It's been six years since I've taken that class. I haven't done much with mobile development, but I was able to apply the learning philosophy to learn Python and C++ effectively and efficiently in the same way that Eleven Fifty taught with swift. To speak to the power of this learning approach, I start at one of the "Big Four" tech companies next week! I am very grateful for the opportunities that have opened up with programming, and attribute much of that success to Eleven Fifty and their immersion philosophy. read less

The courses and team have continued to get better and better, which is demonstrated through our even better outcomes. With our immersion training programs that take merely 12 weeks, we offer rapid transformation to careers paying double or triple the compensation earned prior. We have graduates making from $55k starting to six digits after a couple of years of experience, at employers such as Salesforce, SallieMae, Sunrise Movement, Developer Town, GEICO, Deloitte, Infosys, Amazon, Google, and others. We’ve placed dozens of grads even during two months of the pandemic lockdown, in the context of massive national unemployment. I’m extremely proud of our amazing team at Eleven Fifty Academy! read less

Went from no coding experience to my first job as a Jr. Software Engineer in less than 6 months making almost double what I made previously. It's a fast paced program and you really need to spend every moment of it that you possibly can learning but it is well worth it.

Before enrolling, I attended the free intro to coding course offered at EFA. I felt no pressure to enroll and was encouraged that they acknowledged that coding wasn't for everyone and effectively screened their potential students.We were given pre-work to complete prior to our cohort starting which really let you hit the ground running when the class started. The class moved at a quick pace and throughout the twelve weeks, our class size went from 18 to 12 students. The important piece of Eleven Fifty Academy is the career services team, as a large majority of students are there to prepare them for a job in tech. One important thing to note is that EFA does not have a direct pipeline to any employers, so you're not guaranteed a job after graduating. Expect to hustle, network and keep working to hone your skills post graduation to land your first job. Their career services team will be there to support you every step of the way with resume building tools and tips, advice on networking on LinkedIn and sending you job opportunities as they become available. Overall, I had a great experience at EFA. I met some great people and fell in love with the EFA's supportive culture. Coding isn't for everybody and don't expect it to be easy but if you're willing to put in the work in the classroom and be diligent with self-study it can help you make the jump into technology. read less

I began their Javascript program Dec 2018 and had an offer at a top tech company in Indianapolis in August of 2019. EFA can be a stepping stone for someone like me who had no prior experience in development or it can be a place to expand your knowledge for those who already have learned a language but need to improve their skills or add a new language to their knowledge base. And I can't finish this without including that you get amazing lunches every day included in your tuition! read less

The instructors were extremely helpful because although they help up a standard, they were flexible as long as you were trying your hardest. I put in as many hours as I could put in and in return I succeeded and got a job 4 weeks before graduating. Career services will tell you exactly what to do and and how to do it in order to get a job. If you are able to do it and follow a plan, I don't think there's a way to mess it up. Also, the curriculum is good(4/5) but for learning .NET they definitely are the top place to be. Many schools only focus on javascript or a language specific to their area, but I liked how they had a well rounded full stack curriculum using a technology from one of the biggest companies on earth. Overall, I thought EFA is a school that is innovative in their teaching methods and that coupled with caring and useful instructors they provide one of the best pathways to success as a software developer. read less

I had heard a lot of mixed reviews about bootcamps in general from other people, however my experience at Eleven Fifty challenged me in ways I never expected. The course work goes beyond techinical skills to cover things like resume development and interview skills. The class is demanding, but if you stick with it you can be successful. The web development class focuses on React, which is one of the most in demand, and highest paying, skills right now. Of my class of almost 20, two of us graduated with job offers right away read less

I highly recommend anyone who is thinking of switching their careers to tech to look into Eleven Fifty Academy. The instructors are extremely helpful and knowledgeable and you really get the sense that they care about your personal success. I felt supported and challenged the entire way through. EFA gives you a wide variety of different work-flow scenarios including a few group projects which helps you gain experience in the agile philosophy. I won't lie, it is a grueling bootcamp. You will be challenged, and you will put in a lot of hours but you will also learn so much, build projects you are passionate about, and gain confidence in your technical skills. read less

This school gave me the skills I needed to get a full time software developer position at a company I love. While I was in school I realized I did not take advantage of every opportunity that I had at my disposal which would have probably made finding a job a lot easier. In reading above reviews I was seeing negative comments about this school and it was bothersome to say the least. So first off, NO you will not be a full on Software Developer when you graduate this course, you will be a Junior Software Developer and that was made pretty clear even before signing up. Secondly, the people they bring in to talk where always very helpful and also a new contact for each student to make in their own network, and when they are speaking to you they are not selling you a DREAM when it is a reality that is easily within your grasp, ^Cute..damn straight it is. Thirdly, if you are not being introduced to people in the field or meeting with employers then that is mostly on you and not the school, you need to reach out on your own because the school is not going to want to help people that help themselves. I mean why would they want to promote someone to companies that is doing nothing to help themselves, if they send one bad/lazy prospect over to a company then that company could stop looking at Eleven Fifty Grads because they would think that all of the students would be of that caliber and thats not the case. There are people I have met at that school that put in lots of hard work and did what they where supposed to do. They do have contacts and they do send your resume out but you get what you put into it. If you are not going to meetups/events or anything where tech people meet up where you can network then that is you not doing this right. This is a CAREER CHANGING school and it literally gives you everything that you need to succeed. So if you want a job after graduation you need to meet with the career advisors at the school regularly, go to meetup events and network and get to know the people that are in your desired field because that is where a lot of opportunities can pop up. Reach out to ELEVEN FIFTY GRADUATES THAT HAVE FOUND JOBS AND SEE IF THERE COMPANIES ARE HIRING! For my last point, just put the work in and I promise it will come. With all that being said I did absolutely none of those things, I was lazy and I did not go very many events, I think i went to one and so I did not find my career until nine months after I graduated, but that was on me and not the school. But I also never stopped coding, I kept making projects for those nine months because I loved doing it. SO DON'T DO WHAT I DID!.. keep coding just not the other part. If you are thinking about this school then you need to be prepared to go all in and give it everything because it can really change your life. I was a bartender at a restaurant when I first went in and met Alex Volyk, when I spoke to him for the first time I knew that I wanted to do this and find a job someday as a developer and there isn't a day that goes by that I am not thankful for the passion he has for people trying to make a change in their lives and making them believe in themselves and giving them the confidence to make this change. Thank you Alex Volyk and to all Eleven Fifty Staff that had a part of me becoming a Software Developer. I hope that this will find someone that was like me and convince them to take the leap of faith to find a better life because it i absolutely worth it. 5 stars through and through. read less

It felt more like an hour. This non-profit aims at helping regular people looking to engage more with coding or technology regardless if they have some to zero idea how to use coding programs. On Saturday they gave us a short introduction to HTML and CSS to preview our skills. It was so much fun! I thought it was going to be hard, but the way they presented the material was quite easy. There were times I got lost, but fortunately the T.A.s were there to help us. It was good to hear about their mission and how many lives they changed. I also values their openness to saying how their courses does not guarantee 100% a job, that's not their pitch, but to help us learn these new skills. These skills will help us move forward with our careers that may present a better opportunity and possible increase in salary. I liked this for they weren't trying to sell us false hopes like some predatory places can be. I also appreciated that they were transparent that their courses may not always be a good fit for everyone or that people who are seriously trying to learn these new skills can do it in various avenues online. They were also transparent that these courses are not for people who just want to make money or are not interested in putting the effort. Yes, their classes will consist of many hours each week with expectations to practice the content with more additional hours outside the classroom. There was one person who was super against this and decided to leave the course after an hour. It seems they weren't ready to make that commitment but that was ok. I actually loved every minute of this experience. As an educator, it helped me put into context what I do and what I tell my students. It's about time I also follow that advice. I really enjoyed this class and will be considering their courses in the future. I'm not sure how much the courses cost, but the company does offer scholarships to offer prospective students. I highly recommend! read less

What 1150 does well is help aggregate the material you should know for the industry.

I am very glad I made the choice to come to Eleven Fifty Academy... it truly did turn my career around in the best way possible. Anyone who is willing to put in hours of hard work both to learn and to find a job can see a lot of success at this school. Read on to learn the details of my excellent experience, and what I think EFA can do to continue to improve as a school and earn a full 5-star rating. (UPDATE: Due to changes detailed below, I have upped my rating to 5 stars.)After I graduated grad school with an MBA and an MA in International Policy Studies, it took me 6 months to find a job in my field of study. My pay was so low that I had to move back in with my parents, and I had no benefits.I went to Eleven Fifty looking for a quick, affordable career change, with a high financial payoff, and boy did I find it. Like I said, it took me 6 months to get a single job offer with 2 graduate degrees. I had received 3 job offers within a week of graduating from Eleven fifty 3 month .NET cohort in October 2018. My income nearly doubled, and I now have full benefits as well!I absolutely loved badges 1 and 2 of my .NET program. The instructors and TA's were fantastic, the projects were educational and fun, and even though the classes moved quickly, the instructors and TAs were always willing to sit down and help you if you were struggling. I always felt welcome to ask questions and learn more.Badge 3 was a little anti-climactic. Badge 3 is a group project, and we had 2 very strong coders on my team who kind of took over the project and didn't leave much for the newer coders like myself to do. It made the end of the program easy, but it also meant I didn't really learn anything in the last 3 weeks of the course. Obviously I was there to learn, so that was disappointing for me.I give the Eleven Fifty 4 stars because of its outstanding teaching staff and the excellent results that I came away with. However, even the best of schools have room for improvement. Here are some suggestions I have for EFA:1) Cement the curriculum for each cohort before the class begins. One of the great things about EFA is that they are constantly changing the curriculum to keep up with what is relevant in the tech community. This gives its graduates an excellent competitive advantage when looking for jobs, but the downside is that pivoting focus once the cohort has started can be disorienting for the students and even the teachers. At the end of my cohort, my instructor realized there were several important topics we hadn't covered, and started rushing trying to get all of the information in.2) UPDATE: I originally encouraged the school to be transparent about the career support they can and cannot offer, but I see that this information has already been updated on their website. As a result, I have upped their rating to 5 stars. Thank you, EFA! ORIGINAL: Even in a booming tech city like Indianapolis EFA students will need to take initiative to find jobs. I had a very positive relationship with the career services team, and found a lot of their advice very helpful in my career search. That being said, I think that the availability of internships and business partnerships was overstated on the EFA website at the time I joined the school in July 2018. I spoke to career services about this before I left, and they assured me it would be addressed.Overall, the great strength and the great weakness of EFA is that it is constantly changing and evolving its programs to make their course offerings as relevant as possible. This can be wonderful for the students, but the downside is the risk that school may pivot a little too quickly and can't quite get its feet under itself before a new cohort begins.My experience was overall very positive, and I highly recommend this school to someone looking for an alternative to college or a career change. I plan on returning in the future to study in the new Cyber Security program! read less

I came in have a little prior experience, and was able to learn from some of brightest and kindest instructors I've ever met. Everyone was behind me from the start and there was no shortage or content to learn and things to tinker with. That being said, you have to put in the work if you want the success you can attain with this academy. Coding is a self starting kind of experience, and you have to be prepared to put in the time and work, and you have to be willing to be confused when you start. The instructing staff with do their best to bring you along with them, but it only works if you do. Brilliant place, amazing vision. I love the education I got here. read less

You can't expect a program that condenses four years of school down to 12 weeks of intense technical training to be a walk in the park. I went through the program straight out of high school with no previous programming experience. I definitely struggled, but the instructors there are amazing, all you need to do is ask and they are more than willing to learn and understand. I've heard people say that once you get out of the program Eleven Fifty doesn't help you to get a job and you're basically on your own. That's not true. Eleven Fifty has partnerships with large companies like Salesforce and Geico, as well as tons of connections with smaller companies and startups. In the past they struggled to keep track of the open job opportunities and the large number of students passing through, but they have since hired on many more staff and are now extremely proficient at getting you a job once you graduate. Eleven Fifty is constantly evolving and trying to improve their process. You can absolutely make it through the program and land a fantastic job. In two months I will be celebrating a year with Geico as a software engineer, a job that Eleven Fifty made possible. read less

Good luck not gaining weight :)-Networking opportunities with surrounding businesses that share the open workspace along with the schoolCons:-The biggest issue the school has is organization. The last phase of our program fell apart because there wasn't a set, thought out project for us to complete. Speakers also came at inconvenient times and in one case with our cohort a speaker was hours late because of miscommunication. -Career services exists in name only. I got my job through a referral from a family member encouraging me to apply. Another batch from my cohort were all hired by the same company through contacting the recruiter on their own. This is something where you have to understand that you can't be passive with your job search. You have to have the type of personality to put yourself out there. I'm going to post a more in depth review on coursereport to break down some of the things I touched on here even more. Overall despite the issues the school has out of the 12(I hope I'm remembering correctly) people in our cohort there are only 2 whose job status is unknown to me. The rest of us got a job within about 3 months and out of the 10 of us only one that I know of is currently back on the job market. Most if not all of the previous cohort we overlapped with are also employed. So it's a risk. But it can pay off. Our salaries range from 30K-60K. The average starting pay being 55K. 8 of us are above 50K. The two lower salaries were just kind of wonky situations that aren't the norm. read less

This program does a phenomenal job introducing you to the fundamentals of development, and helps foster a foundation of confidence in your chosen language path (cohort, if you will). Do not expect to land a job a week after graduating either. Again, be realistic. They treat you as an adult, because you are an adult. You need to pursue opportunities relentlessly. The Career Service team does an excellent job prepping you for interviews, and can be a great resource (if used properly, and treated professionally). However, they are not magic makers. Do not expect to put subpar effort in and land a $60k/yr job. I highly recommend doing the 12 week course if you are interested in development - however, it does require grit and they will not baby you. I see some negative reviews about not getting a job following the completion of this program. That is related to one of two factors: 1) Laziness, or, 2) Incompetence. If you work hard enough, you will absolutely land yourself a new career. Just understand, I have seen this take up to 3 months. EFA is by no means a Unicorn school; but, I will stress that you will absolutely develop the skill to code and progress further in development after taking a 12 week cohort. Best of luck! 5 Stars. read less

I saw a sponsored Facebook ad for a free Intro to Coding class at Eleven Fifty Academy and signed up.This class took place on a Saturday inside Launch Fishers, and more than 40 students showed up. It was a diverse group but we all shared a common interest in learning more about coding. No experience is required! The instructors explain the basics of code and walk you through step-by-step as you code on your own. It's done on a free online tool so you can take home your coding masterpiece and continue to practice.Breakfast and lunch is provided and admission counselors are on-site if you want to learn more about a career in coding and enrolling in their classes. There is zero pressure to sign up, so if you're like me and just want to get your feet wet, you won't be judged. read less
