Our Journey in Tech Education

CodeForge emerged from a vision to address the growing demand for skilled software developers in's expanding tech sector. Founded by industry veterans who recognized the gap between traditional education and practical programming skills, we established a training center focused on hands-on learning and real-world application.

Our approach developed from years of experience hiring and mentoring developers across various technology companies. We observed that successful programmers shared common traits: strong problem-solving abilities, continuous learning mindsets, and practical experience building functional applications. These insights shaped our curriculum design and teaching methodology.

Located in Tokyo's Minato district, our facility provides an environment that mirrors professional development settings. Students work with current industry tools, follow best practices used in production environments, and tackle challenges similar to those they'll encounter in their careers. This practical focus has helped over 850 graduates transition into fulfilling roles across's tech landscape.

We maintain relationships with technology companies throughout Tokyo, allowing us to stay current with industry needs and hiring requirements. These partnerships inform our curriculum updates and provide valuable insights into emerging technologies and methodologies. Our advisory board includes senior engineers and technical leaders who contribute their expertise to program development.

Our Core Mission

To provide accessible, high-quality programming education that prepares individuals for successful careers in software development. We believe in combining technical skill development with professional practice preparation, creating graduates who contribute meaningfully to their organizations from day one.

Our training model emphasizes depth over breadth. Rather than superficial exposure to numerous technologies, we focus on developing strong foundations in selected frameworks and languages. This allows students to understand underlying principles that transfer across different tools and platforms, supporting long-term career adaptability.

The CodeForge community extends beyond graduation. Alumni maintain connections through our professional network, sharing opportunities, insights, and support. This ongoing engagement creates value for both new professionals entering the field and established developers continuing their growth.

/* Teaching Philosophy */

Our Educational Methodology

Our methodology centers on active learning through project-based work. Students don't just watch demonstrations or complete isolated exercises. They build complete applications, experiencing the full development cycle from planning through deployment. This approach develops problem-solving skills and technical judgment that abstract lessons cannot provide.

Evidence-Based Curriculum

Our course content reflects current industry practices and employer requirements, updated regularly based on market research and partner feedback.

Structured Assessment

Regular code reviews and project evaluations provide clear feedback on progress and areas for improvement throughout each program.

Collaborative Learning

Small cohort sizes enable peer learning and knowledge sharing, reflecting professional development team dynamics.

Industry Standards

Training incorporates professional development practices including version control, testing methodologies, and documentation standards.

Instructors bring current professional experience to their teaching. They share insights from recent projects, discuss common challenges encountered in production environments, and demonstrate how theoretical concepts apply in practical contexts. This connection between classroom learning and workplace reality helps students understand not just how to code, but how to think like professional developers.

We recognize that effective learning requires appropriate challenge levels. Our programs progress from foundational concepts through increasingly complex applications, with each phase building on previous knowledge. This structured progression allows students to develop confidence while continuously expanding their capabilities.

Professional development extends beyond technical skills. Our programs include guidance on code documentation, team collaboration practices, and technical communication. These professional competencies complement programming abilities and prepare graduates for workplace success.
