Yes! A coding boot camp is designed to empower you to gain a new skill set that you can immediately apply to your current role or help you to switch careers entirely — and on your own schedule. By choosing a coding boot camp over a traditional web development degree program, you can prioritize flexibility and affordability while achieving your unique career goals.

While coding does involve some basic math skills, you don’t have to be an expert at math to learn to code. In addition, while some background in coding is helpful, no experience is needed for our coding boot camp as long as you are dedicated and eager to learn. Our pre-course tutorials will help you prepare for our program. You will also have access to a variety of academic support throughout the program.

Web developers can leverage a variety of coding languages in their role, or focus on just one. Our coding boot camp covers languages that include HTML, CSS, Javascript, SQL, and Node.js to name a few. For professionals interested in furthering their studies beyond our coding boot camp, we offer supplemental online learning materials for C#, Java, and AWS.

While the path to employment for web developers can vary depending on prior experience, educational background, and location, our coding boot camps are designed to increase your hireability through a range of career and professional resources. These resources include resume, portfolio and LinkedIn support, interview coaching, and access to a network of employers who are looking to hire.

• In Class Prep – Embedded throughout the curriculum are multiple activities designed to uplevel your interview skills. This includes practice solving commonly used algorithms in technical interviews, coding screencasts, and algorithm assessments designed to gauge your progress. This experience culminates in a mock interview mini-project designed to emulate a technical interview used by industry-leading employers.
