What Educators say
about CodeGym for Higher Ed

We use CodeGym to help push the more able students. Your course is excellent and the materials are sound, generally speaking.

Thanks again for the opportunity to use the service. I like the idea to make Java programming fun!

My students are excited about the platform and have made good progress without needing much help from me, which is great to see. I have high hopes for them including Oracle certs, internships, and of course good scores on the AP exam. I completely agree with your theory that the most important part of improving with Java is....practice!

CodeGym is a massive valuable tool that students use daily. The teacher provides the theory about Java in the morning, and the students practice at CodeGym in the afternoon. [...] Overall, the students are really happy with the platform, and they are gaining a solid level of Java in the short term!
