About Canada Coding School
Transforming Careers Through Auto-Paced Software Development Education
Founded in 2016 in the heart of Toronto's tech corridor, Canada Coding School emerged from a simple observation: the traditional education system wasn't keeping pace with the rapidly evolving software development industry.
Our founders—former senior engineers from Google, Amazon, and Shopify—set out to create a different kind of coding school. One that combines rigorous technical curriculum with real-world project experience and genuine career support.
Today, we're proud to have helped over 2,500 Canadians transition into fulfilling tech careers. Our graduates work at leading companies across Canada and beyond, from startups to Fortune 500 enterprises. Our 94% job placement rate isn't just a statistic—it represents thousands of lives transformed.
