IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU?

Learn to code at your own pace

We’ve designed AlgoCademy with people who don’t have a lot of experience with algorithms and data structures in mind. We want to teach people who are looking for the increased satisfaction and income that a programming job can provide.

Is AlgoCademy right for you? Simply put, we're for you if...

  • You’re trying to prepare for coding interviews but don’t know where to start, or how to come up with an efficient study plan
  • You’ve spent countless hours trying to solve coding questions online, but you’ve grown frustrated, feeling like you can’t build a solution from scratch
  • Even if you are able to devise an approach that solves your coding challenge, you aren’t able to write quality code which passes the coding interview
  • You’re looking to gain the speed and accuracy needed to solve a coding challenge that may get asked of you in interviews
  • You start to experience sensory overload thinking about all of the information out there about preparing for coding interviews, and you find yourself stuck for days, googling information on various topics, messing up your consistency and flow

After going through all the lessons, I gained the necessary skills to perform well at my on-sites. I crushed even the DP problems, which were my biggest fear. And thanks to that I landed offers from Microsoft and Uber. Thank you AlgoCademy!

AlgoCademy really helped me improve my problem solving skills and write incredibly clean code. I was worried it wouldn’t be done in time for my coding interviews, but the way the curriculum is structured made me progress very quickly. Thanks for your work!

A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE YOU START.

Frequently asked questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you...
Ask the AlgoCademy team ↗

Will this get me ready for my coding interviews?

Yes! The content is designed to cover everything you might encounter in coding interviews. We start with simple loops and statements and move to famous algorithms and data structures, as well as how they apply to the interview questions these companies ask. Our graduates tell us how many of our questions get asked by companies all the time!

I've never studied Computer Science. Is AlgoCademy beginner friendly?

Beginners welcome! While we do assume a very basic general understanding of how computers store variables and loops, you don’t have to worry about anything else. You’ll learn the rest here. It’s also going to be easier than you think! The original inspiration for AlgoCademy came from helping a friend who quit his job as a singer to follow his dream. We’ve always had beginners and self-taught programmers in mind (as well as CS majors) while building our content. We can meet you on your level and take you from there!

Is all of the content available straight away or is it time-released (drip fed)?

No drip-feeding here! You get access to everything inside AlgoCademy right away. Jump in and start making use of the training without having to wait for something to be released to you. We also regularly update and add new material, so your content library will continue to grow alongside your knowledge.

What languages do I need to know?

You do not need to know any specific language to benefit from our lessons. Our explanations focus mostly on core intuition and pseudocode so that every coder out there, no matter the language, will understand everything.

Why should I become a member today instead of waiting?

Every day you hold off on membership is another day you’re not working toward your dream job. It’s time for you to take action. We provide the answers to all of your questions, including the ones you don’t know you have yet, that will pave the way to a high-paying programming job. Becoming a member will help you find the support, community, and most importantly, accountability necessary to reach your goals. AlgoCademy is the place where you can find all of these things. If you are ready to make a difference in your life, the time is now. Simple as that.

Is it really worth the money?

The average base salary of a software engineer is $110,464, according to Indeed, and the average total compensation for FAANG companies is over $250k, according to levels.fyi. The better you perform in your interview, the more desirable you become, therefore giving you the power to negotiate compensation. You’ll also get to work at your dream job every day alongside top-tier software engineers. It’s hard to put a number on all of that, but we think it’s worth it.

Do you offer refunds?

We don't offer refunds under any circumstance. You can try out our free coding tutorials before deciding to subscribe.

What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?

Obviously, we’d love it if all of our members stuck around forever. We’ve worked with students long enough to know that if we’ve done our job right, our students will eventually move on to their new careers. If you decide to cancel, we make the process easy – just a couple clicks and you’re done. We'll miss you, but we hope you'll always consider coming back.
