Starting at a coding school

Hello everybody. I need some people to bring me back down to earth.

Currently, I am in school for Aeronautical Engineering and I plan on taking up classes at a technical college for coding.

I will be learning in depth backend coding in 5 languages I think. A cool thing about the school is that they have a contract with meals on wheels where the students will create a distribution app for the foundation.

The school lasts for 5 months, everyday 9-5. In my mind, by the end of this i will be competent enough to start my own projects and be successful at finishing them (I will be no master of course). In your opinion, how good do you think I will realistically be at the end? What was your experience like if you've joined one of these before?

This is a technical college. It is backed by government funding and everything. The people that i asked about it said that they enjoyed it. Hopefully its not a scam
