Code for All

What Code for All does

Code for All is a Portuguese technology education provider headquartered in Porto with training operations in Lisbon, founded in 2015 as Academia de Código and rebranded in 2023 to reflect an expanded portfolio. The company operates a tiered education platform spanning intensive software engineering and cybersecurity bootcamps (14-week full-time or 28-week part-time), sector-specific AI short courses (Legal, HR, Accounting, Communication, Sales, Sustainability, Teachers), an AI for Programmers specialization, and a 2025-launched agentic AI course at agentic.codeforall.com. Courses are DGERT-certified, enabling access to government subsidies through IEFP Cheque-Formação + Digital and FCT funding.

The business runs a dual go-to-market. On the consumer side, the company markets directly to career changers through content, SEO, social media, and Meetup events, offering flexible payment (€100/month subscription, €750 short courses) and Income Share Agreements via Fundação José Neves, with interest-free installment financing through Banco Montepio, Floa, and Alma. On the enterprise side, a dedicated sales team sells Corporate Training, the Talent Share Agreement (TSA) — a 12-24 month contractor placement model — and the Reboot reskilling programme, the latter anchored by a flagship partnership with MC Sonae. A wholly-owned subsidiary, Bool, operates a nearshore software house.

Since inception, the company reports 1,900+ alumni, 300+ hiring partners (Deloitte, Feedzai, Nokia, PwC, Capgemini, Bosch, BNP Paribas, KPMG), and a self-reported 98% graduate employability rate. It holds B Corp certification, has received Deloitte Fast 50 (2024), PME Heróis (2024), Course Report (2023), Switchup (2022), and B Corp Best For The World (2022) recognition, and has received undisclosed funding from Explorer Investments in 2019 and 2022. Operations remain concentrated in Portugal with no disclosed international expansion.
