Attended this school for Social Media Specialist and I... enjoyed every night. I was able to take what I've learned instant and apply it to my own personal business and see immediate results. Chris our instructor was awesome he answered all of questions and pointed us in the right direction. Class sizes were small so it made it more intimate and be able to communicate with fellow students. I highly recommend this school for sure and I've seen the results. Jim the director is amazing he follows up and calls you to make sure everything is working out and enjoyed having me at the school .read more

I did two programs at Palm Beach Code School, Web Developer... and Digital Marketing. Both were taught by industry professional who are still actively working in the field, vs a retired professional. In both courses the first class may seem overwhelming but I promise you once you finish it all make sense. They do a excellent job keeping in communication and working with your schedule. I now have a career as a web developer and I owe it to Palm Beach Code School and the instructor that worked with me and volunteered extra time if I was quite understanding the course load.read more

I just completed the Social Media and Digital Marketing... class at Palm Beach Code School. Woohoo!!! I'll have my certificate in a few weeks! I'm celebrating, but can I add that I'm also really sad that I'll no longer have my class for a few hours on Mondays and Wednesdays. I've grown quite attached. The instructor Chris Downey was a truly generous and patient teacher. He's been in the industry for years and has a lot of industry experience, but along with that he has a great deal of information about the different social media platforms that he has to impart to students. The amount of information can seem overwhelming at first, but the great thing about Chris is that he's remarkably patient. He's willing to share all of his considerable knowledge. He makes himself available to his students, and he just has a kind disposition. He's also very supportive and encouraging of his students, and lets you know that you can and will learn all the different platforms and applications, that it just takes time and being in the industry. He's a gem for the code school and I hope he's appreciated. Jim York, who runs the school, is also very vested in the success of the students. My classmates were also all very generous with constructive feedback and willing to share their knowledge. It was a very positive experience. I would take a class there again. (For those who decide to take the course, it's a lot of information, but take it one step at a time. Be kind and patient with yourself, and know that you will learn it all over time, and Chris is always available as a resource.) Thanks Chris! Thanks Jim! Thanks Class, and good luck to all future program participants!qread more

Quality instructors, small class size, and all the... resources a person could need to learn a plethora of useful skills in the job market (Especially for South Florida). The school is way cheaper than other schools providing the same service, but also gives you everything you need to succeed. Don't forget to do your homework!Don't be shy if you don't know anything about computer science. The curriculum is built from the ground up with the newbie in mind. Honestly, I don't think you're going to find more bang for your buck (even at a State CollegeThe school owner, Jim York, is a great guy. He cares a lot about the students, picks out his instructors carefully, and provides the materials for the class as part of your tuition. This school is totally worth checking out!read more

The Web Development program was unbelievably affordable... compared to other schools. One of the best decisions that I've ever made. The four months went by very quickly. Highly skilled and talented instructors. Small class sizes (my questions were answered immediately). Palm Beach Code School reignited my passion for coding and all things technology. Two thumbs up!read more

PBCS has created a unique experience for beginners that are... interested in learning computer programming. I started with very little knowledge and graduated with valuable technical skills that will benefit me for life. The program is short enough that its not such a commitment like other higher learning institutions. But it was long enough to be introduced to the world of web development and instill a desire to learn more. The instructors are really friendly and throughout the course I made connections that will surely help me in my future career. Thanks for everything ☺❤read more
