Whether you’re just getting started or have dabbled in code, your experience at Alchemy Code Lab will take you further - faster than any other coding program in Portland.

Our most successful students aren’t the average coder. You’re bright, thoughtful, curious, and kind. You care about making an impact and living with purpose. You’re carving your own path and love having awesome, intelligent people along for the ride.

From CS fundamentals to full stack development, Alchemy students work in agile development teams, using pair programming, mob programming and test-driven development. With four individual one week project teams per cohort, students build their portfolio sites while contributing consistently to GitHub.

Delving deep into a specific tech stack that evolves as the industry demands, our curriculum prepares you to stand out from the crowd while teaching you how to adapt to new technologies on the job.

Instruction is led by our highly experienced senior developers who know firsthand what employers are looking for in a well-equipped hire.

Our instructors train you to utilize industry standards such as completing a product lifecycle from conception to delivery, demonstrating time management and implementing new technologies as needed.

Hands-on and human-centered, our approach goes well beyond the classroom to include: professional leadership and inclusion, career readiness, and networking fundamentals.

From industry-pro guest speakers, mock interviews at local companies, social presence + personal branding and custom resume building, we’re here to empower our students to hit the ground running with the leverage to truly stand out.
