CORE Code School

What CORE Code School does

CORE Code School is a private, founder-owned coding bootcamp founded in 2020 and headquartered in Madrid, Spain, with a secondary office in Ibiza. The company delivers intensive programming education through live remote sessions (Zoom/Google Meet) plus in-person options in Madrid, targeting career changers and university students who need current, production-ready software skills. Its core product portfolio comprises five bootcamps: Fullstack Web Development (JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, MongoDB, Docker, AWS), Data Engineering and Machine Learning (Python, SQL, Pandas, TensorFlow, Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow), Kubernetes & DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, AWS, Google Cloud, Terraform, Prometheus, Grafana), Advanced React, and a 5-month UX/UI Design course priced at EUR 4,500. Cohorts are intentionally small (10-12 students), and the school's "Cloud First" methodology teaches production deployment from day one, leveraging its sister platform Faable Cloud for infrastructure.

The business operates a sales-led go-to-market: prospective students complete an application that includes an admission test, personal interview, and technical evaluation, followed by enrollment through direct outreach from the admissions team. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees (one-time or financed) for bootcamp seats, with career services and employer connections provided post-graduation. Marketing relies on content (a tutorial blog covering SQL, Python, JavaScript, Git, React, TensorFlow, FastAPI, etc.), SEO, a Discord community for students and alumni, and third-party validation via Switchup.org reviews. The company reports 100+ alumni across at least 8 nationalities (Spain, USA, Germany, Costa Rica) since 2020, and an average 90% employment rate within approximately three months of graduation.

A B2B offering ("Para Empresas") extends the curriculum to corporate engineering teams, training them in Cloud First methodology, Agile practices, and Continuous Delivery. The founder, Marc Pomar, is also the founder and CTO of Faable Cloud (a Kubernetes-as-a-Service platform), which provides both technical infrastructure for the bootcamp and a real-world deployment environment for students. No institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures are disclosed in the available source material.

Emerging players

• freeCodeCamp: Free, open-source learning platform with self-paced web development, data, and machine learning curricula plus certifications; not a direct competitor but a structural substitute that pressures paid bootcamp value proposition and pricing.

Broad incumbents

• General Assembly: Established global provider of bootcamps and corporate training in software engineering, data, and digital skills; comparable offering but with vastly greater scale, broader portfolio, and strong enterprise L&D channel that CORE is just beginning to pursue.

Regional players

• NexusTalent / Conquer Blocks: Spanish-language (Spain/LatAm) tech bootcamp focused on fullstack and emerging skills; comparable in Spanish-language positioning and remote delivery but primarily serves LatAm audience.
