We’re honored to share that Alchemy Code Lab is the #1 training program in the U.S. on SwitchUp!
We’re also #3 in the world - wow!
Being highly ranked on SwitchUp is especially meaningful because their rankings are based on quality of reviews, not just quantity.
Some code schools “game the system” by stuffing their profiles with reviews from people who took a one time workshop, and not their entire program. They’re playing a numbers game and counting on you being too overwhelmed by the numbers to read between the lines.
Alchemy’s reviews are from people who have completed our six-month, full-time software development training program. That means you’re getting the real story about what it’s like to go from code curious to job ready.
Here are a few of our favorites:
Challenging (and fun!) program with really strong network/community. Unparalleled instruction quality and career support. Went from having virtually no programming knowledge to being a confident software engineer in about 5 months. Found first role within seven weeks of graduating despite having completely unrelated professional background and seeking work in the midst of a global pandemic. Couldn’t be more grateful for the decision to attend Alchemy.

I researched very diligently when I decided to make this career change, and Alchemy was at the top of my list not only for their in depth program and their ability to remain agile and add to the curriculum as trends in technology change, but also for the diversity. They had the most diversity of methods (pair programming, mob programming, TA assistance, teachers, singular study, reading, lab projects, sprint projects, etc), but as a gay woman of color they were able to cultivate the most diverse room of humans to learn along side of. On top of that, they allowed plenty of room for me to advocate for what I needed and took the time to get to know me individually and what my goals were so they could push me toward them and tailor their support of me. After completing their full-stack program, (with ZERO technical or computer knowledge previously), I was able to land a dream job as a software developer just two months after my graduation.

Alchemy Code Lab is by no means your average code bootcamp experience. While many code school graduates might feel like they're ready to enter into the tech industry, I think few of them really are. As an Alchemy grad, I felt like I had a huge leg up over other code school graduates. Alchemy doesn't just cover foundational web dev concepts. The curriculum changes to reflect the rapidly evolving landscape of modern frameworks. Another incredibly important facet of this program is that on day one they are honest with you in that most of what you learn will eventually be obsolete. The most valuable asset you take away from this course is an understanding of how to learn new code concepts. For a 6 month course, I'm still shocked at the amount of hard and soft skills students acquire here. If you're worried about the cost, google "average full stack web dev salary".

So thank you SwitchUp, but even more, thank you to all our amazing grads who took us to the top ranking!
