Code Labs Academy is remote-first by design, not as an afterthought. You’ll learn through live classes, guided labs, office hours, and collaborative projects with your cohort, so you get the structure and community of an in-person experience without needing to commute.
All of our programmes are available online: Web Development, UX/UI Design, Cybersecurity, and Data Science & AI.
To get the most from live learning, you’ll need a reliable internet connection and a laptop or desktop computer that can handle your course tools and assignments.
Our live sessions are scheduled to work well for Portugal (Lisbon time). Learners can join from other regions too, as long as the timetable fits their day-to-day commitments.
Frequently asked questions
What is the admissions process like?
You can apply using the Apply button at the top of the page.
You’ll answer a short question about what you want to learn and why, then our team will email you with the next steps and invite you to book a short call (scheduled in Lisbon time).
On the call, a learning specialist will review your application, talk through the programme structure, and help you choose the right pace (full-time or part-time). You can also ask questions about pricing, payment plans, and any funding routes you may want to explore.
If you decide to enrol, we’ll send your onboarding documents and confirm your place. After that, you’ll get access to our learning platform, pre-work to help you start strong, and your cohort community space so you can connect with other learners.
Can I join from anywhere, even if I’m not in Portugal?
Yes, our programmes are fully online, so you can join from anywhere. Our live teaching schedule is designed to work well for Portugal (Lisbon time). If you’re in a very different time zone, it may be harder to attend live sessions consistently, so we recommend checking the timetable with our team before enrolling.
What are my options for funding?
We aim to make learning as accessible as possible through a mix of payment flexibility and guidance on funding routes.
Depending on availability, this can include instalment plans, limited-time discounts, and employer-sponsored training budgets.
For learners in Portugal, there may also be public upskilling support options (subject to official eligibility criteria and open application periods), such as IEFP measures like Cheque-Formação and Cheque-Formação + Digital. In some cases, broader national or EU-backed initiatives may also support digital training. If you’re unsure what applies, book a call, we’ll help you understand where to start and which official resources to consult.
