Immersive Digital Bootcamps

IOC has always been about creating a community, a family, of like minded go-getters, looking to change their life & follow their dreams. We built the company with our students first - every decision, every action was driven by a desire to change the way education is delivered so that our students could thrive - from building an online learning hub from the ground up to offering 1:1 support.

Since then, we have welcomed over 700 students, from 17 year olds looking to kickstart their career to 65 year old legends looking to show the world that age is just a number

These are their stories & what they have to say about their experience learning with us.

We live to create the best possible learning experience & it always starts & ends with our students.

We have this pretty radical idea within the educational space, where we put our student success and wellbeing at the heart of every decision. Everything we do is driven by this idea - from giving all students lifetime access to all the materials & any future lessons, to making sure we're delivering the content & feedback the way it should be by having a 4:1 mentor ratio or building our very own custom app, that means we can offer services like personalised voice memos for feedback or the ability to quickly deploy new lessons in minutes. 

We didn't settle for the norm & neither should you when it comes to your education. 

don't take our word for it.

A look at just some of our glowing reviews from past students across all of our courses! 
 

Wow. Where to start... I was lost and confused about what I wanted to do with myself. I had been looking into code academy and trying some online courses for coding and just playing around for fun. I then saw an Instagram post about Institute of Code for Social Media and Web Dev and decided to book a call. Terri answered all my questions I had and from the moment we spoke I knew this was the course for me. I went all and took both of them! From the moment I arrived, the entire team made me feel like family. It was everything you could ask for. The environment, the people, the courses, the help was over the top and continues to be even months after. You not only go to a course, you gain an entire family from Institute of code. They are there for your success not just money.

Wondering whether you should commit to the Institute of Code’s 10-day web development bootcamp in Bali? Based on my personal experience, I can say to anyone who might be wavering: GO. I am especially talking to anyone in their 30s, 40s, or 50s (and even beyond); please do not let your “advanced” age stop you from going—coding is not just for twenty-somethings! As one of the older students on the course, my age (49) was a total non-issue. In fact, I found that my "wealth of experience" actually bolstered my ability to grow as a coder. Enrolling in the IOC web dev bootcamp is one of the most rewarding decisions I have made in recent years: Learning to build websites and gaining an insider's knowledge of web development has not only helped me better navigate and manage my web-based design and communications projects, it has also opened up opportunities to earn extra money building websites. Need more reasons to go? The course is taught by genuinely good, talented experts eager to share their coding knowledge and help you succeed; the lovely villa in Canggu provides a comfortable, relaxed learning environment; and along with those useful coding skills, you will likely pick up a few lifelong friends too. One of the biggest benefits of doing the in-person course? The unlimited, lifetime support provided by IOC mentors. Being able to reach out to a friendly, patient expert (hey, Dan!) with any sort of coding question—big or small—is both a safety net and an inspiration.

I have spent the weekend working through the Website in a Weekend course and have really enjoyed it. The course and videos are paced really well with each one building on the foundations of the last. Tina does a great job of keeping things simple and it's great to follow along in time with the videos. I have some previous experience in coding from taking statistics courses at uni, but it's been great to learn the basics of a couple of new coding languages as well as get a feel for Adobe XD. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking to take their first steps in web design and creation.

I had debating going to IOC for far too long, well over a year. I knew I wanted to launch into a new career somewhere along the lines of website design and development but didnt know exactly which course was for me. In the end, Im so so happy that I decide to go with IOC! It was an intensive course that covered absolutely everything I needed. Between the pre-course work, the 10 day immersion and the endless ongoing support after the course I have been able to plan, design and successfully launch my own business. This is a career path that I had dreamed of for years! There was support from morning to night, plenty of mentors around to assist with everything from website design and overall page layout, to the basic code and into a ton of fun transitions and add-ons a few of us had sought out to create for our websites. I defo recommend IOC to anyone wanting to get into website development!

I am currently on a "Website in a Weekend" class presented by Institution of Code. As someone who never knows any basic coding, I am so in love with the lessons, as it is clear, and super easy to understand. On my first class, I already created a mini blog about myself using the codes in only less than an hour, how amazing is that? Thank you for creating these classes, very recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — in Bali.

Doing the web development course with IOC was hands down one of the best decisions I've made in my life. I went in with high expectations and was still blown away. Though it sounded like a stretch I expected to learn how to code a website in 10 days, I expected that I'd have an amazing time exploring Bali, I expected that I'd come back with a couple of lifelong friendships. What I didn't expect was just how much i would fall in love with coding, I didn't expect to find myself voluntarily getting up at 6am to code by the pool, I didn't expect to walk away with amazing connections to every single person rather than just a couple, and that we'd call ourselves a family. I didn't expect to learn and see and do as MUCH as we did in those 10 days, with full enthusiasm (I also didn't expect the compulsory pre-dinner dance party to shake off the day's coding). The tutor ratio was perfect, as it didn't matter what pace you went there was always someone to guide you up to speed or take it at your own pace with you. It almost seems like there should be a catch to the ongoing lifetime support promise, but what can I say, it's true that you can reach out anytime! Once you're part of the IOC family you're in it forever ❤️ Thank you Tina & Emilio for putting together such a fantastic course!

After having the most amazing learning experience while attending IOC's Bootcamp for Photography & Social Media, I was very curious to check their Website in a Weekend course. And once again - these guys really overdeliver the value for their customers 🥰 I can't thank them enough for everything I learned both over the Bootcamp and in this course! No matter if you're a newbie or have some experience in coding - you will find that the way Tina is teaching is sooooo interesting and easy to understand and you will be updated on the newest and best coding practices 😉 I just love IOC and can't recommend them enough as they are the best

I honestly can't thank Tina and the team enough for their support during my learning. I have danced around CSS for years, not really fully grasping the concepts on my own. The IoC has a really supportive and engaging system that teaches you what you need to know in practical applications that are visible and relatable. Plus, the encourage you to play and experiment with the activities - allowing you room to fail, but supporting you with the mentor feedback so you don't feel silly! On the plus side, when you get to do it with others, even online, you get a sense of community and that you're not the only one to make mistakes as you learn!

I am currently doing the "Website in a Weekend“ online course by Institute of Code and I already love it! Never have I thought that coding would actually be that much fun. They provide you with professional course material, that guides you step by step to finally building your own website - and that in just one weekend. It’s super easy to understand and you get a lot of practice, which I think is the most important if you want to get better and faster at coding. 🙂 I am very grateful for this opportunity and can 100% recommend it. I have already attended another one of IOC’s online courses and I liked that very much as well. So, if you are thinking about enrolling in a course with them, do it, you won’t regret it.

All weekend I've been zooming through Website in a Weekend learning how to code. I've never done anything like this before, but Tina made each lesson so easy to understand. Each lesson is built on the last combining all the things you've learned previously. Coding is so much more simple than I ever thought it to be and I have Tina to thank for de-mystifying all of it. Looking back at my pages of notes it's hard to believe I knew nothing about coding 2 days ago versus the bank of knowledge I now hold. I have so much more to learn, but this is an excellent base to begin.

Wow is this even real!🔥I just binged on all the fantastic content of the Website in a Weekend Bootcamp and am AMAZED by the quality and the quantity of knowledge, tips and useful practices that it includes!💯💯💯 I had no idea of coding before but Tina guides you through every lesson so smoothly that you can really end up building a beautiful (and responsive!) website in only a few days!🔝🔝🔝 This is a high quality course that I can only recommend even for complete beginners! Thank you so much! I loved absolutely everything about it!😍

IOC's immersive experience is great for those wanting to get stuck into the learning. The pre-course work was comprehensive and provided a great deal of knowledge for the actual camp. Being in this amazing villa space for 10 days surrounded by people with similar goals and under mentorship of amazing pros was definitely a key to the success!

The mentors are very friendly and helpful and their 4:1 ratio meant I always had someone available to clear my questions, even after hours! I ended up gaining so much confidence not only on the coding aspect but also the business approach, which I think is invaluable for those looking to start a career in this industry! I ended up coding a crazy project in 10 days and the guidance of the IOC team was essential to my success!

Attending the web development course at the Institute of Code in Bali was one of the best decisions I have made this year. The course itself was incredible and I never thought I would learn so much and actually know how to apply this knowledge afterwards. I tried teaching myself how to code before attending this course but some things never made sense to me and it was hard for me to understand specifics about different coding languages and how they interact with eachother. The mentor - student ration of 1:4 made this course so much better. I always had someone to ask questions and the mentors were always trying their best to explain concepts in a very understandable way until the student really got it and could then also apply it or explain it to someone else. I would highly recommend this course to everyone who is interested in learning how to code and wants to maybe even start their own business.

I attended an amazing coding retreat in Bali earlier this year with The Institute of Code (IOC) which was founded 2 years ago by Tina May and Emilio Kuzma-Floyd, two entrepreneurs who are committed to help people learn valuable new skills. IOC has a fantastic formula (10-day intensive courses, accommodation in a luxury tropical villa, excellent healthy and delicious food, and small group mentoring) which I can 100% attest to. I think this accelerates the learning process because you don't have to worry about anything other than focusing on the task at hand, with lots of great R&R thrown in. Best of all, the teachers / mentors were extremely helpful and were always ready to help out, debug code, or share their own real-world business experiences. I attended their web development course and built a website in 10 days and learned foundational coding skills in HTML, CSS and Javascript. More importantly, the course gave me the confidence to know how to go about things (and what questions to ask and how to find answers!) as everything in this space is very dynamic and always changing. I can now comfortably learn other programming languages on my own. Since the course, I have been developing my own websites and continue to engage IOC's mentors for help and advice. IOC stands out from other companies offering similar services because once you complete one of their courses, you get access to their mentors and teachers thereafter, as well as to their constantly-updated materials and resources. The various IOC alumni groups also let you connect with a very broad community. I also met some wonderful people from all walks of life which I also think is a key part of IOC's formula- you don't want to be stuck with people who are all in the same industry or profession, it is much better to learn from different experiences. Many of them have also ended up being good friends which is an added plus! If you are considering learning how to build a website as an introduction to coding, I highly recommend joining one of IOC's retreats.

Learning to code in Bali! First I was thinking "where is the catch..". But there is none! IOC offers exactly what you find on their channels. An amazing experience with like-minded people. You get to learn how to code in an amazing environment surrounded by great mentors, who are always there for you (even at 11pm, when you're still excessively coding). ;) Beeing a student in that kind of environment, with the IOC team to help wherever they can, is the best way to learn! I never made such a progress in such a short time! At now I am able to build my own websites from scratch! I would do it all over again!

A life-changing experience! Coming to Bali was an impulsive decision for me but I couldn't be happier that I decided to join IOC. Firstly, I feel like I made friends for life - never expected to meet such an amazing group of individuals (both students and the staff members) and bond so quickly. Secondly, this was the best learning experience I've ever had - studying in a beautiful villa, surrounded by friends, sharing outings to the most beautiful locations in Bali, having some of the most delicious food ever and being taught by the most patient, helpful and friendly teachers (Brit, Dave, Dan! <3). I can't describe in words how great of a manager and person Morgan is - it felt like there is nothing this beautiful woman couldn't do! Not only did she take care of all our needs during the retreat, but also supported and helped me when I got sick in Bali after the course had finished. Grace, our yoga instructor and retreat manager, is an inspiration for me - such a beautiful person inside and out. Terry made sure that the booking process went super-smoothly and there were no questions left without answers. Tina and Emile were such welcoming and friendly hosts that I'm sure I'll be convincing all my friends to come and study with IOC as well. Justyn was a smiling angel who was a great addition to our team :) All of the above helped me to find a new passion and hopefully a future career I love, as well as make incredible friends, and possibly find a future home. SO worth it! :)

I attended IOC Web Dev bootcamp in November 2018 and it exceeded all expectations I had. From the pre-course work that we received before we arrived, customer service support when I had a gazillion questions and finally getting to the magical location where we were hosted for 10 glorious days. As someone who had minimal experience in web development, we were quickly brought up to speed and had deep dives into how to develop a website. All from the first day. It was the most immersive and practical experience and there were tutors to take you through the course materials at your own pace. Aside from the learning, they offered us a tranquil environment, the most amazing food made in-house by Balinese chefs that allowed us to focus and enjoy Bali. In a nutshell, it met all my expectations and then some! I would definitely recommend this programme for anyone looking into becoming a web developer.

I remember being nervous in enquiry emails because I had zero coding knowledge, but Terry assured me before I took the plunge that I didn't need any experience and that it was all setup to help us learn and support us in every way possible. Set in beautiful Bali... in a beautiful villa... catered food (thank you for catering wonderful vegan meals).. a fridge full of assorted beverages... it was the perfect environment for learning to code.

He wasn't just any driver that picked me up, he was one of our drivers during our entire stay. I was truly a newbie to coding outside of healthcare, so if I can learn basic coding in about 7-8 days, you can as well. Overall, everything was thoroughly planned and arranged to my liking. Good balance of work then play! We were able to see and explore a great deal of the country. The mentors were very helpful! Thanks IOC!

Prior to attending IOC, I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I was overworked in the advertising world and felt very burnt out. One day, I had had enough. I quit my comfy agency job and decided to attend IOC, not sure of what I would find when I got there, not even sure if I would like coding or what it really entailed. When I arrived in Bali, I was met graciously, and enthusiastically, by the IOC staff. They immediately made me feel at home in the villa, despite the jet lag. The first day of course work, we were fully immersed in these new and exciting languages. We were shown the back bones of websites and what made them work. The agenda was exciting, challenging, and at times frustrating. It was never boring though, and I was captivated by this new online world I was being exposed to. Later in the course, you're separated into groups to work on your project. While I didn't work as closely with my assigned mentor, other mentors and staff members were always there to help. At the end, everyone showed off their projects. While everyone had moments of frustration throughout the course, everyone was proud of the work they had done by the end. People were coding up until the very last minute possible. Overall, the course was nothing short of life changing for me. Yes, I was introduced to this new, interesting coding world, but more importantly, I spent 10 days surrounded by inspiring people. People who wanted to do nothing else but improve themselves. People who were motivated to learn and grow. Being in an environment, away from home and friends and distractions, and bonding with new people from all over the world, is something you can't get anywhere else. I am so grateful for my experience at IOC and would recommend it to anyone.

Attending the Institute of Code was the best decision I've ever made. I booked my spot for IOC the week before the course started. From my original enquiry, the staff helped me with every question I had, even if they didn't know the answer in that moment. I was excited to learn a new skill and meet new, like-minded people - and my expectations were blown away! The entire program is absolutely fantastic. Coding seemed daunting but the mentors made learning code easy. It was so nice to have a small class with access to highly-qualified mentors. The website mentions completing 2-3 websites but I think 1-2 is more realistic. About half of our group was able to finish one website and move on to a second. Multiple activities were included in the tuition, whether it be a cycling tour, paddle boarding, surfing, acro yoga, etc. You also get to meet and hang out with incredible individuals from all over the world. Everyone is attending for a similar reason and it's great to be surrounded with open, friendly and like-minded people. The program was relatively new but seemed like they had been running for ages. I never had to worry about anything - transportation, food, accommodation, etc - it was all taken care of. I still can't believe the value for my money. A luxury villa with a pool, all meals, multiple activities, a massage and an immersive education. If you are thinking of investing in yourself, I couldn't recommend a better way to do it than with the Institute of Code.

I've been considering a career change for quite some time and had my eyes on learning to code. While this course did not land a new career (that's probably too big of an ask for such a short program), it was a good first step. It was incredibly encouraging to come back after ten days and be able to code a responsive website from scratch. A definite boost of confidence and motivation that I needed to continue learning! I'm not a big risk taker when it comes to my career and sense of security. However, on a whim and motivated by my love of new experiences, I signed up to traverse the globe to spend ten days living in a villa with complete strangers in order to learn a thing or two about web development. And I'm really glad that I did. It was as awesome and as cool as it sounds! I loved getting to know different people from all different walks of life during the course. From the get go, there's an emphasis on flexibility and open-mindedness, and I think it's what drew me to the program. The ideal candidate for this type of program is one who can roll with the punches and who loves learning and trying new things. The curriculum is mostly HTML/CSS and a little bit of Javascript/jQuery. The mentors are incredibly patient and encouraging. I felt like they really worked hard at not only teaching us the material but also helping us to learn to use resources to figure out problems on our own. The fact that you're working, eating, playing and living with everyone really facilitates a close-knit environment. I was pleasantly surprised by the number of activities outside of coding made available to us. We worked/learned hard and then played hard too! I did experience a few snags along the way, but nothing to cause worry. I know the program is still so new. Hopefully, they will continue improving, especially since there are plans to expand to other locations! Would 100% recommend the program (and already have friends signed up for other dates)!

I took the course because I wanted to learn about WebDev and learn how to make some of my own projects a reality. The course was so refreshing to just meet people from so many different walks of life that do almost completely different things and are at different stages of their life, yet we all learnt skills were so valuable e to all of us in the directions we were heading. I expected the mentors to be more like teachers in a high school where they would probably just teach us some skills and go back to whatever they decide to do in their own time but they were such nice people that went out of their way to make connections with you and teach you not just what they knew but how to find the resources for yourself when you need because the world of WebDev is just so gigantic that even if the course ran for one whole year we wouldn't be able to pick everything up. Kind of like the 'Teach a man how to fish' analogy. We spent all day learning in an immersive environment where the skills we were being taught we could use immediately and we had 3 or 4 mentors always there commenting on different ways to go about different things which was great because it let us have a 360 view on things from different perspectives and we found our preferred styles of coding. Then we spent all night hanging out and doing pre-arranged activities and seeing the beautiful place that was Bali, almost everything we did was worthy of an instagram photo (By that I mean EVERYTHING we did or saw was so unique, beautiful and memorable). I don't even want to write about the stuff we got up to so as not to ruin it for future groups. All in all I'd definitely recommend the trip to anyone I know thats even slightly interested in WebDev to take the course and learn some new skills, meet some great people and have an experience that you won't ever forget. The whole experience in itself will open your mind and teach you how to take any skill, business idea or even just a hobby or interest you have and use it in conjunction with the world of Web Development to take it to a whole new level, connect with new people and turn it into something that you had no idea was even possible before hand.

Doing this course was quite an impulsive decision for me, but it’s one of the best I’ve ever made :) I had so much fun, I met some great people, I learned a lot, and I feel really proud of what I can now create. I went there knowing the very basics of HTML and CSS but I'd never built anything from scratch before, and I couldn't really believe we'd have the skills after 10 days to make a complete responsive website – but by the end of the trip everyone had something really awesome to show for their work. Now I feel like I can make something that looks pretty good and professional, and I'm really excited to keep building on my skills. All the mentors and staff were really lovely, and I felt very supported and encouraged. The lessons were really laid back and informal, and there was plenty of time for everyone to ask questions and get one-on-one help. And as well as being a worthwhile learning experience, it was heaps of fun. With everyone staying in the villa together it started to feel like a family pretty quickly, and somehow there was lots of time in between classes for splashing in the pool and going on excursions to do paddle boarding, surfing etc. The villa was lovely, the food was delicious, light and healthy, and overall it felt like being on a holiday, even though we were also working hard. So thank you to Tina and co. for being so awesome and creating this opportunity :) I really recommend this retreat to anyone who wants to learn new skills in a beautiful place with fun people.

I went on the third coding retreat ever hosted by IOC and I am not hesitant to say that it was an experience I will never forget. I've always wanted to learn how to code, but struggled to find courses that I thought would give me the help I needed (no coding background). The mentors were great, always there when you needed them and were so encouraging. They were patient and very willing to take time out of their breaks to help you figure out how to add a specific feature to your site. Not only did they teach us how to do things, but they went over how to trouble shoot and how to find the help we may need once we graduate. In 10 days I was able to build two sites completely and develop skills that I'll never forget. Apart from the curriculum we were also given the opportunity to visit landmarks and participate in water sports and other activities with the team. I highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to code in a relaxed environment!! Don't hesitate to apply or even ask the IOC team for more information!

Before joining the IOC team in beautiful Bali, I honestly didn't even know shorthand on my Mac! My contact with computers was limited, my understanding of how websites work was little and I had small appreciation for the incredible amount of man hours that go into creating practical and visually pleasing sites. Now I have built two fully responsive websites to promote myself and my growing business! I achieved more than I ever thought possible! Thank you to the IOC team for not only teaching me to code but also teaching me a valuable lesson about trying new things and believing in my own ability to pick up new skills!

The Institute of Code inspired me to take one of the most spontaneous and exciting adventures of my life! Leanring things that had never even entered into my mind before excited me and at the end once I finished the course and learnt all the skills needed to create a basic website, I felt so empowered! I had gone from not knowing anything about how to create a website to creating one that I was proud of, for a cause that I was passionate about. I felt like I could go out into the world and achieve anything if I put my mind to it. Thanks to the IOC for giving me this opportunity, for always being supportive through my journey and for teaching me some awesome skills that I will definitely help me in my future endeavours.

On top of the course the teachers were so helpful and the ratio of teachers to students left me always having someone to help me. The activities were very exciting and well thought out! Being in Indonesia gave me the environment I needed to succeed which I think is very important. This was a trip of a lifetime and I now have life-ling friends and an understanding of computer programming. I am so thankful!

Institute of Code is Amazing

I mean what more needs to be said than Tina May and Emilio have created a truly amazing experience. The Institute of Code not only met my expectations but utterly surpassed them. Like most people who make the decision to join the Institute of Code, I had literally zero experience at coding. I was nervous that I would be struggle to keep up with the class but Tina and the four other instructors were beyond helpful. I was able to genuinely make websites after just ten days of training. Tina and Emilio's attention to detail was impeccable, even coming down to each snack that was served daily (very helpful and thoughtful for a vegan)! I would have stayed for a whole month if given the option. Anyone who thinks they have any interest in making a website, please go! This was a once in a life time event and cannot recommend it highly enough!

Graphic designers fear not

If you're a graphic designer and you have dismissed coding as 'too hard' (even though we know it's a big part of our profession's future) then don't worry, IOC is not like the web development subject at design school: 1. You won't have other commitments pulling at your time/attention. 2. The lessons are modern, relevant and practical. 3. There is plenty of one-on-one help and, 4. You'll walk away feeling much more capable and empowered as a designer. If you feel like coding will help your design career, and if you're feeling a little burnt-out and in need of inspiration than this course will help.

I actually learned web dev in 10 days while on a tropical retreat!

I completed Institute of Code's web dev bootcamp in 2018 and it was the highlight of my year! I already had a background in graphic design but had only learnt some basic CSS prior. The online course pre-work was super helpful and made me confident that I could get my head around coding in the 10 days the bootcamp runs for. What I didn't expect was how incredible the location was when I arrived. Tina and Emilio who founded IOC have gone to great lengths to create an enivornment for learning that would make Finland jealous! The huge villa were the course is held is absolutely beautiful, spacious and luxurious. And the food, oh my the food — just incredible. The course is well paced, and offers ample time for catch up if you get in over your head. The mentors are a huge help and come from all over the world to help pass on their experience to everyone. I never would have expected to have a working understanding of web development in 10 days but IOC delivered. I also met some amazing people and stay in touch with them still. But most importantly, this year I have started my freelance business as a full fledged web designer. It's also worth mentioning that Tina and her team and the huge group of alumni offer limitless support once you have left Bali to help solve problems both technical and emotional. Couldn't recommend anything more highly. If you are reading this, back yourself and make the most of this opportunity. I'm so glad that I did!

Incredible Pioneers in Education

Wow!! Choosing to attend the 10 day bootcamp with IOC was one of the best decisions ever! I went onto the course wanting to explore a career change, but with no idea where to start in the big world of Social Media and Content Marketing. There are so many creative resources online, but the biggest difference for me with IOC was being surrounded by a super supportive team/ community/ mentors that really fast-tracked a lot of the learning. Most days are structured to cover specific topics – the content is intense – but everything is perfectly paired with a relaxed environment (like the best variety of food for every meal, a beautiful pool, and let's be real – it's run on a dream villa in Bali)! The best part for me since stepping out of the course is actually feeling empowered and inspired by all of the content and practical steps provided at IOC. Even now, the community and alumni group have really become like family. If you're hungry to learn, wanting to explore something new in life or looking for a group of like-minded people, I would highly recommend jumping into an IOC course. It's truly one of the most fulfilling learning experiences out there and absolutely life-changing!

Amazing way to learn code!

The 10 day coding course with IOC is awesome! I had no coding experience at all and after just 10 days had built 3 websites and decided to make a complete career change after 10yrs in another industry. The course is structured so well with a good mix of learning and some down time to process what you're learning, the villa was beautiful and the food incredible! The IOC team and the mentors were all so supportive and the ongoing support is a great help! My favourite part of the course was meeting the amazing people that were all there for different and inspiring reasons! I would definitely recommend this course to anyone thinking about learning code for any reason, the environment IOC have created to learn is perfect!

jam-packed with information

I loved the intensive boot camp learning environment and thoroughly enjoyed my time learning and practicing my new coding skills. Classroom time is perfectly balanced with social activities so that you feel like although you learned a ton, you also had a chance to see more than just the inside of a classroom. The villa we stayed at was gorgeous, clean, and comfortable, and the meals we had prepared for us were very tasty and healthy. We had plenty of one-on-one time with the mentors which was a huge help for me when I was stuck on some concepts and needed extra help, and other times when I felt comfortable to move forward and learn new things on my own. Another thing that has been great is all of the after-class support that we've received. Anytime I run into an issue I know I can ask my mentors and other class participants, and I'm confident that support will be there to help me work through it. Would highly recommend.

A unique and effective learning environment

I attended university and earned a marketing management bachelors degree, expecting to thrive in the world of digital marketing. However, I soon came to realize that the kind of marketing I'm passionate about, digital/social media/creative and content marketing, isn't really taught in college. It's such a new industry and the only real way to learn about it is to study under the professionals in this arena - so I came to Bali and studied at Institute of Code for that very reason. Influencer marketing, social media marketing, photography, videography, editing, blogging, modern marketing...all these concepts were taught in a laid-back, no BS environment that fostered an incredible learning experience. In fact, I can confidently say that I learned more about creative marketing in this single bootcamp than I did in my four years at university. If I had questions that were left unanswered, I could step outside and chat with a mentor beside the pool. If I needed hands-on lessons, I could schedule a morning shoot with a mentor. Forget classrooms and homework and teachers talking AT you. The mentors at IOC were so obviously passionate about what they do, and it showed in their lessons and their work. I also loved the attention and emphasis IOC places on wellness (morning yoga, frequent breaks, healthy foods) as a supplement to education. The course was well-planned and all students were well-accomdated. There's no better way to learn!

Can't imagine a better bootcamp!

This bootcamp had the perfect balance of intensive study with a laidback, calm setting. This made it so much more motivating to learn. It really did feel like a dream. I met some of the most interesting people from all over the world. The staff was so professional, caring and detailed. I so much appreciated the activities that kept our brains stimulated and healthy foods that kept our bodies energized. I was more and more impressed each day by the new things I learned and by how much knowledge they had about everything. It wasn’t hard to tell that they worked their asses off to make sure we understood every subject, that we were accommodated in any way, and that we were always safe. I would recommend this to anyone, there’s no doubt this is the best bootcamp out there.

Once In A Lifetime Experience

I attended IOC’s coding bootcamp and went from zero to hero in 10 days. I had no HTML or css experience and I built a website that was far more challenging than I originally anticipated. The mentors were incredibly helpful and made sure I got the website to where it needed to be before the course was over, not to mention they provided further assistance over Skype in the weeks following the bootcamp. Apart from that, I met some absolutely incredible people, had so many amazing experiences and ate some of the best food I’ve ever tasted in Bali!

Bootcamp Love

I first learned about the Institute of Code two years ago while on vacation in Bali. I had no idea what kind of coding bootcamp they exactly were but I was excited to learn more. I was working full-time as a Graphic Designer and wasn't sure how to start my journey into coding. I started following the IOC on Instagram and quickly realized they were serious about coding, teaching and of course, completely legit ;) Being from Canada, I wanted to make sure that traveling all the way to Bali (for a second time) would be worth my energy, time and money. I also really wanted to make sure I would be learning real-world skills from the ground up. The IOC did not disappoint. I started with very little knowledge of HTML and CSS and in 10 days completely learned how to build a website. And not only how to build a website properly, but beautiful as well. I’m not going to lie—it was intense. There was a lot of knowledge to wrap my head around, but surrounding myself with the right people in the right environment made it completely possible. I can actually say I learned a new skill set which I continue to grow and build on each and every day since taking their bootcamp. The knowledge Tina and her team bring to the table are second to none. With their support and the amazing community you build during and after the bootcamp, learning to code from the IOC has definitely been one of my most rewarding experiences.

LIFE CHANGING

I have worked in Financial Services for over 15 years in Australia, US and Asia and launched my own business as a Business & Digital Strategist 6mths prior to attending Web Dev Intensive at IOC. Over the past 15 years one of my greatest frustrations when working with Business Development Campaigns and Digital Marketing strategies was when I was told by Web Dev teams - it can't be done or too hard. I also wanted to have my own business website so I decided to invest in myself travel to beautiful Bali and come back home to Australia with a tan and a website. The support from the IOC team began from my initial enquiry and is still ongoing today. I have a number of dietary requirements due to severe food allergies and this was all taken care of. I did not have to worry about single thing from the moment I arrived in Bali to the moment I left as everything was taken care of for me so all I had to do was learn! As a 40year old mum of two small children, running a business in Sydney this was beyond bliss!!! Potential clients saw from my social media that I was learning to code and reached out to me via linkedIn and I have been inundated with work since and I am now a year on. These clients are major fin tech's, and banks here in Australia as well as a number of clients in the US and UK. Attending this course projected my little business from domestic to international and I took my earnings to 6figures (annually) Yes I thought while I was on the plane (what am I doing this could be dodgy) but I was welcomed and safe. I also thought (I'm too old for this) but I wasn't due to the immersive learning environment I was able to learn fast and enjoyed being the "Digital Dinosaur" Yes I thought about (how my business would suffer with me attending a course for 10 days) however due to the time difference and the supportive course schedule I was able to keep my business running, kept earning money which I was an extra bonus!

Life changing boot camp

I have only good things to say about IOC, endless good things. It being in beautiful Bali is merely a bonus! The mind blowing, eye opening information they teach you on this course is incredible, and with that, one of the most important parts of this course is how much belief the founders and mentors invest in you, and how much one to one attention they give to you. I came in, sort of clueless, and I left inspired to build a life for myself that would be nothing less than fulfilling. As soon as I returned to England I began applying all of the lessons they taught me, and now 3 months later I am running my own business! On top of all of this, I met and learned the importance of being surround by like minded people - I made some INCREDIBLE friends there, and shared experiences I will never forget. I thought about doing this course for a LONG time, but was unsure because of finance, trust me, it’s worth every penny! If you’re thinking about it, just do it!

The Best Week Of My Life

I recently partook in the Web Development Bootcamp that Institute Of Code has to offer and all I can say is....WOW. This course beyond exceeded my expectations and left me feeling more empowered and inspired than ever. I had very minimal experience with web development and have always been interested in learning the ropes of the website world, however, I was unable to find a course that both suited my budget and my life schedule. When I stumbled across IOC's Instagram page, something instantly clicked and I just knew that I had to sign up. Their course offered everything that I had been searching for - AND it was within my budget (winning!!) Travelling to Bali and surrounding myself with likeminded individuals and talented mentors was the best thing that I have ever done. It not only allowed me to learn so much more about myself, but the course has also opened so many new doors for me. Since completing the course I have already built two websites for freelance clients! I honestly cannot say anything other than great things about IOC. I highly recommend their course to anyone who is looking to take the leap into the digital world.

Probably the best professional investment I've ever made

I'll be straight-forward: attending IOC's Web Development Bootcamp last December was one of the best investments I've ever made in my career. Or I should say the best. I don't even know where to start. The villa was a dream come true and the food was unbeatable (I've been addicted to smoothie bowls for breakfast since then), and the extra activities came perfect to help our brains loosen up after a day of full-on learning. Tina and her team had the vision of making us feel the best so we could absorb as much as possible in the classes. And guys, did that happen! We were taken care of like queens and kings. And the learning atmosphere was just intense (in the best way possible)! I had decided to re-focus my career to graphic design and website creation (which I always loved), so it could suit my OLN (Only Laptop Needed) nomadic lifestyle. IOC's Bootcamp provided me not only with knowledge about coding, but also it empowered me with the confidence to start freelancing and with the resources to keep expanding my knowledge and multiplying my possibilities as a designer and developer. It's only been 2 and a half months since I attended IOC's bootcamp, and I've already launched my freelancing business and am working with 3 clients. And this is just the start. If I they run the Advanced version of the Web Dev Bootcamp, I'd be the first one to sign in!

Amazing time in Bali, learning how to code!

As soon as I landed in Bali, all my needs were taken care of. They picked me up at the airport, had welcome snacks when I arrived at their stunning villa. I was so excited to call it home for two weeks. I was a bit skeptical about the course at first, worried it would be more of a vacation than an actual classroom experience but I was so wrong. Every day we headed straight into the classroom and spent the whole day getting real, hands on experience. It was great. I left after ten days and have already landed 2 different jobs! I am so grateful for everything that I was able to learn so quickly.

Intense learning - intense reward: one of the better choices I've made in terms of my life/career

Ah The Institute of Code :) forever embedded in my memory as one of the better choices I've made in terms of my life/career. This experience is a mixture of really intense and focused learning, insane food/amenities, inspiring teachers in a moment that means you are connected with your cohort for long after your course has finished. I did an in depth review of the experience on my blog so I have taken an excerpt from it about the v.important question - will I really learn how to code? "Will I really learn how to code? Well yes. I was very much a beginner in the world of coding. I had worked with Content Management Systems (CMS) such as WordPress and bespoke options in my past, but I really hadn’t got into the thick of it. So depending on who is reading this, you will know that there are many languages in code. We focused on front-end development, learning: HTML, CSS, Jekyll, Gridlex, J Query and Javascript. More important than this, (what I valued most) was the ability to learn a sort of problem solving mind set. Preparing your mind to solve coding issues you would come across in the future. Also the websites. We were recommended over 10 websites and resources to help make our life easier, from rights free image use and a place to upload your code in case you make a dire mistake to places to get websites icons and colour picker apps– all the types of hacks you need to genuinely start building websites and be a coding G. We also got a bespoke guide that we’d be allowed indefinite access to, which goes over course content and is constantly being updated with new content too."

The only way I could have learned how to code

IOC is the only way that I could have ever learned to code. I truly believe in the foundation in which Tina and Emile built Institute of Code by redefining the education model - if all of your basic needs are met, you are in a beautiful environment, then you have the headspace to accelerate your learning. It works! 10 days of coding bootcamp in February and I went straight into freelance web development. I am now building my 5th website after bootcamp in February. The continuous support that IOC gives after you leave the villa has helped me continue to improve my codings skills and finish projects faster. IOC will give you relevant technology skills that are the basis of so many future careers. One of my best decisions of 2017!

I took their coding bootcamp in a weekend and it was A-MA-ZING, packed with loooots of info and activities. Tina is a complete PRO and has a way to easily explain to you complex things. I highly recommend them to anyone. They are truly good teachers, passionate and with exceptionally great content. Thanks guys!

All the courses I have done are so easy, fun and engaging way of learning. The amount of content is exceptional. The website in a weekend really does show you how to learn coding for that reason. Highly recommend all their courses. They are well worth the investment and well below cost for the amount of information you receive and guidance from mentors.

I am currently participating in Website in a Weekend by Institute of Code, and it’s phenomenal! We are learning how to code and build a website from scratch. I have zero experience with coding, and the bootcamp has been so easy to follow along with. I had no idea coding was so much fun! The mentors are all so helpful and encouraging, and they answer all questions super quickly! Thank you guys for putting on such a great workshop. I’m looking forward to putting what I’m learning into practice to help me reach my career goals

I'm currently doing their website in a weekend course and from the start it's already ten times better than the other coding courses I've done. They dive straight into it and the video tutorial plus the written instruction are perfect, and they don't leave any aspect uncovered! The video also come with the option to play slower or faster, and the UI/UX of the course is also fantastic. Really excited to finish up the course.

I am in the middle of The Institute of Code's "Website In A Weekend" class and WOW. This is full of real information, packed with value. I know NOTHING about code and after getting a third of the way through, I already know how to make a cool, stylized text block with varying color backgrounds, fonts, sizes, and more. Not only that, but Tina's eye for design is everywhere throughout the course, it's like getting a look into the brain of a talented web designer on top of the real-time info for how to use it - can't wait to see what else is in store from them.

The 2nd time I joined a challenge by Tina. The first time is around 1.5 years ago and through her very structured and amazing teaching skills I learnt how to code my first website. I have to say this time it is even more professional and I am amazed by what she created. Lots of work and passion are behind this amazing course. Even if you think coding is not for you, let Tina show you how easy it can be. She has a talent to quickly come to the point and definitely will not waste your time.

Coding has always been intimidating but Tina and the team make the learning so much fun, feel light yet engaging. I am on the short bootcamp 'Website in a Weekend'. My first time creating a working button was so satisfying and that little thing alone is enough to fire me up to complete the whole program. The explanation, the platforms they use, the delivery given to someone who has zero experience like me was all on point. I would definitely recommend it 100%

I am currently doing the 'Website in a Weekend' course and I am totally blown away! The quality of the course is excellent. Most of the time when I have signed up for free online courses, I am disappointed. One gets very little out of the course and you get prompted for buy ins. This course is the opposite. It is jam packed full of easy to follow lessons and notes. The practical activities are a great way to solidify your knowledge. I would be happy to pay for any course these guys put out there, they know what they are doing.

I enrolled for the "website in a weekend"-bootcamp and I am loving the course so far. Everything is explained very well and detailed and Tina guides perfectly through the process of creating your own webpage. I tried once another course on HTML and CSS but did not enjoy so I thought perhaps this is not for me. But this course is exceptional! This course goes through the whole set up step-by-step and includes so many practical examples that are fun to built. Definitely recommended!

I'm currently doing Institude of Code's 'Website in a Weekend' course, and it's absolutely jam packed full of amazing information. It's full of practice exercises and great tips for understanding the basics of coding. I'm so excited to learn more and Tina teaches everything in a friendly but informative way. It's at a beginner level (but there are some complex coding exercises) and she makes you feel like anyone can do it! Thank you so much IoC for helping me on my coding journey

The courses provided are all so informative, easy to follow and fun. I first stumbled across The Institute of Code when trying to DIY a site for my partners freelance chef business, and jumped on their 5day challenge. I was hooked. I’ve since looked at other courses and resources around the web and keep coming back to The Institute of Code. Tina’s relaxed and friendly attitude makes learning so easy, with enough explanation and repetition to understand the concepts, without being boring or overwhelming. Now I’m working through Website in a Weekend, and I’m learning so many more little tips and tricks. I was hoping to plan a trip to Bali this year to join them in person for a boot camp, but circumstances changed (thanks 2020) but hopefully one day soon I can get there, because I honestly think IOC is a really good learning experience to implement skills and knowledge in real-time. So quickly you have a real splash page, instead of months and months of theory before building.

I started with the 7-day free course and I learnt A LOT with it! I just can't wait to see how much I grow as a web developer with the other courses they offer

This “Website in a Weekend“ course rocks. It truly surprised me. Everything is explained in detail. I love it. Again IOC have done amazing work ! Thank you Thank you Thank you !!!! 🤩

The Institute of Code has been an amazing resource for me as a beginner learning to code. I feel that the content provided and mentor support is very worth the investment, and nothing has been overwhelming so far. The Website in a Weekend course puts the information in easy-to-digest modules that help me stay on track and focused.

IOC is a great place to learn about coding - in my case. I have participated in the limited free Website in a Weekend course and there is so much content already! I can only imagine how much more you could create after doing a full course. It is a lot of fun and extremely well made. Tina in the videos has a very nice way of explaining things and making you feel like you can actually do it. The reassurance to take the time you need and play around is a big part for me as well. Thanks for the awesome opportunity and teaching me so much!

Currently doing the Website in a Weekend and it’s a 10/10 experience. I would definitely recommend any of their bootcamps as it’s very easy to follow and the support and feedback is very timely!

10/10 experience. Totally recommend for even complete beginners. A seamless, beautiful, enjoyable experience. Easy to get feedback. Very clear instructions.

Top coding brand. Courses online are very informative and helpful. The lessons are broken down step by step so that no matter what level you are at with coding, it's very easy to understand and digest the information.

I am participating in #websiteinaweekend bootcamp and I love it! The lessons (videos and articles) and hands-on activities make it really easy to learn and get comfortable creating new code. This is definitely a great way for anyone to get into coding or refresh existing skills.

Awesome program. Doing the Website in a Weekend now and I have learned quite a bit and begun to apply what they taught me toward building my own custom websites as well. This proves its applicable knowledge and not only teaching us the website layouts they use as samples. Very helpful!

As a graphic designer, I always wanted to build up my coding skills but never had found the time or the right course to take the plunge. I am currently halfway through the 'Website in a Weekend' course and I must say that I am loving it. The material that the guys at The Institute of Code have prepared for this course is super easy to follow, very well and simply explained with lots of on-the-go exercises to wrap your brain into the world of coding. From what I have experienced during the past two days, I thoroughly recommend their courses. They are a very talented and passionate bunch and are always available to help you out during your journey through their courses.

Currently, I am enrolled in "Website In A Weekend". This has been very enlightening and informing. It is virtual and self paced but the helpful mentors of The Institute of Code are there for your support. #websiteinaweekend

I am currently enrolled in the 'Website in a Weekend' course and I find it very easy to follow. I love the way concepts are explained and this is perfect for beginners or those who would like to brush up their coding knowledge. I would definitely recommend it for anyone who would like to upgrade their skills!

The best decision, I ever made was applying for the scholarship and actually getting a full scholarship for the first Digital Bootcamp in Photography & Social Media. So when the chance to learn to code for the weekend came up, I jumped on the chance and totally enjoying it.

Currently enrolled in the 'Website in a Weekend' course and it is very helpful and easy to follow. The course work is made so that you get the right amount of practice and experience. Definitely recommend their courses!

I am currently working through Website in a Weekend by IOC and I think I may have fallen in love with the course. I am only half-way through and already created my first Splash page. Tina makes it so easy to understand and it's fun seeing yourself learning a new language and creating a page that actually looks nice. It's not the first course I have done by IOC and I don't think it will be the last. They are such a caring team and give you real practical examples to start creating your own work portfolio from the beginning. Definitely a great place to learn.

Currently taking part in the “Website in a Weekend” course! So much detailed information given step by step, with practical examples which you can follow along to and refer back to later to help complete the numerous activities. Really enjoying the course so far and would recommend giving the weekend course a try if you are interesting in dipping your feet into the world of coding!

I've first taken the mini coding Bootcamp provided by the IOC during the lockdown. It was an introductory course to the world of coding so I've already learned a few of the bases. This Weekend Bootcamp takes you a step further. Tina has a way to make things look easier, she's a wonderful teacher, full of knowledge, and very thorough. She will go straight to the point and explain things in the most understandable way. You are taken from a zero level to being able to construct simple, yet aesthetic websites. Lots of activities for you to train and you can get feedback anytime from the team. Can't recommend enough. Thank you for all you do, I'm looking forward to invest in one of your online bootcamps next.

I would highly recommend the institute of codes bootcamps to anyone looking to start a career online! I have done a few of the free bootcamps and have loved every single one. I am now working my way through the 'website in a weekend' bootcamp! It has been so easy to follow and makes coding seem way less intimidating, easy to understand and fun! I recommend!!

I'm currently doing Institute of Code's 'Website in a Weekend' course. It's not the first time I've tried to learn html and css, but it's the first time I've really wanted to continue. It's not easy and I feel it's still been a lot of trial and error, looking at the code already made. But I'm just at the beginning and I feel this intensive course is a great help. I'm enjoying it a lot and I hope I can keep this motivation up. I'm really glad I had the opportunity to join this course even if it's only for a few days

Great experience so far! The content is produced with a high quality level which makes it really enjoyable to listen and learn. Furthermore the guys from Institute of Code explaining complicate things/topic in an understandable way. So for me as a german man I had absolutely no problems with understanding the content. I really like their attitude and that they are so considerate which makes it even more better for me (personally). So if you want to learn how to build a website on your own, improving your skills with coding or just learning something new than that's it.

Institute of Code (IOC) is simply the best online learning platform from Bali. Their courses are easy to follow and the team always try to explain in the most directly understandable way. I'm currently on their free Website on a Weekend program and loving it!

Really appreciating this weekend course and picking up a new skill! Their resources and materials are so helpful and I'm able to learn a lot about creating my own website. Thank you and I'm excited to learn more!

I'm currently doing the "website in a weekend" Bootcamp, and this is just a great course! I've tried a few and I am not entirely new to it, but there are great tools, so user-friendly that I feel like I'm discovering web development again! Everything is clear, the videos are easy to follow and the projects you make super nice. Really 10/10 on the content, can't recommend enough !

The Website in a Weekend coding course far exceeded my expectations. Not only does it cover everything you need to know to design a beautiful website from scratch but Tina does an excellent job making the content easy to understand. In fact, this course had so much information packed inside, I have no idea what more else they can cover in the 8-week bootcamp. I think this course is perfect for people who want to learn how to build a website or who are thinking about enrolling in a coding bootcamp. I give it 5 stars.
