Why is SheCodes the right choice to learn to code?
SheCodes and Udemy both offer
courses on front-end development with
video lessons that are great for beginners with flexible schedules. SheCodes stands out because
we help our students every step of the way with our dedicated support team. Students can ask for both customer and technical support whenever they have a question. Our online community of fellow coders from around the world are welcoming and it's easy to connect with others.
You never feel like youβre coding alone when you learn to code with SheCodes. π π©βπ»Β
Structure & consistency for comprehensive front-end knowledgeΒ
Udemy has a lot of courses, in fact, a search for βcodingβ brings up 10,000 results. This amount of choice can be confusing, especially when
some courses are lower quality than others. Learners have to do independent research to find the right course for them. A few instructors have classes that are great for beginners while others require some prior knowledge. Some instructors may occasionally answer student questions while others wonβt.
Receiving answers to any technical questions is never guaranteed. With Udemy, students may finish one course, but want to learn more. It can be tricky to know if another course will teach the same concepts or something new. Since you pay by course, you may have to pay for several courses to learn all of the concepts you are interested in.
With SheCodes, you donβt have to click through thousands of results and research individual instructors. All of our classes are
taught by Matt, with a clear and structured curriculum to teach front-end development.Β
Homework and deadlines to keep you on track
SheCodes has an overall completion rate of 92%, much higher than the industry average. π Udemy and similar online video courses only have completion rates of 10-30% for the average course.
Although our coding classes can be watched on your time, we still have
challenges, homework, and final projects to keep our students on track. Busy students are always able to ask for extensions.
This mixture of flexibility and commitment has been a successful combination for our students.
Most students who begin their coding classes with us go on to graduate. Our alumni go on to do great things,

Technical feedback & customized projects
The best way to learn to code is actually coding! We have challenges after every mini-lesson with weekly homework and final projects. The homework is checked weekly by our tech support, who will let you know if any parts of the code need to change.
Students share their completely customized final projects, which look great in any portfolio.
In courses like Udemy, final projects are often recreating webpages, resulting in final projects that are all the same and wonβt impress recruiters. The courses are completely video-based and some focus solely on theory without hands-on practice, which wonβt be very useful for beginner coders.Β
Already started coding with another platform?
If youβve already taken a class or two at Udemy but still want to learn more, youβre not alone. Many of our awesome grads already finished courses elsewhere before finding SheCodes. They discover that the hands-on coding and projects offered alongside the bite-sized lessons fill in any gaps left behind by other platforms.
What else should you know?
At SheCodes, we are passionate about helping women around the world learn to code and closing the gender gap in the tech industry. We are proud to contribute 10% of every workshop purchase to the
SheCodes Foundation, which gives women in developing countries free coding classes.
Tens of thousands of women have already learned to code with SheCodes, with an
overall rating of 4.9/5 stars, we canβt wait to welcome you as a student! πΒ
