About us

Code Labs Academy is an international technology education team delivering live, instructor-led bootcamps to learners in Iceland and beyond

Our courses are hands-on, structured, and fast-moving—designed for people who want to build real tech skills, ship portfolio-ready projects, and feel confident using modern tools

Whether you’re upskilling for your current role, starting a side project, or exploring a new direction, we’ll help you move from “curious” to “capable” with practical guidance, mentoring, and optional career support—without assuming you have a technical background

The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.

Our mission

We invest in the people behind the technology.

Technology changes quickly, but the ability to learn lasts. In times of uncertainty, upskilling helps people adapt, contribute, and choose their next step with confidence. At Code Labs Academy, we believe high-quality tech education should be reachable for anyone in Iceland—whether you’re learning after work, between commitments, or alongside a full-time job.

We imagine a world where more people can understand and shape the systems they rely on every day. From digital services and product design to cybersecurity and AI, technological literacy matters—especially in connected communities like Iceland where local impact and global collaboration often go hand in hand.

To make that vision practical, we design our bootcamps with a clear structure, supportive instructors, and zero entry prerequisites. We regularly host free online sessions and workshops, and we run cohorts that work well across European time zones—including Iceland time (UTC/GMT).

We also aim to make financing feel less intimidating. Many learners in Iceland explore employer learning budgets, trade union education funds (fræðslusjóðir), or public study grants depending on eligibility. If you’re applying for reimbursement, we can help by providing the documents you typically need—like invoices, course outlines, and proof of attendance.

Code Labs Academy Story

Our Story

Founded in 2021, Code Labs Academy was created to close a gap we kept seeing: motivated people wanted practical, job-relevant tech skills, but traditional learning routes often felt too slow, too theoretical, or hard to fit around life. We built a project-based approach that helps learners progress quickly while still learning the “why” behind what they build.

Today, we teach a global community while staying deeply focused on outcomes: strong fundamentals, real-world projects, and feedback that actually helps you improve. Our bootcamps include Web Development, UX/UI Design, Cyber Security, and Data Science & AI. You can study full-time in 12 weeks or part-time over 24 weeks—supported by instructor office hours, 1:1 guidance, and optional career coaching for those who want it. Wherever you’re joining from in Iceland—Reykjavík, Akureyri, or online—we’re here to help you build skills you can use right away.
