How curriculum is structured
Phases + components
Pre-bootcamp prep (2-4 weeks)
Foundation building before bootcamp begins. Programming fundamentals (Python or JavaScript depending on program). Self-paced + free. Required for admission.
Phase 1 — Foundations (weeks 1-4)
Core technical fundamentals. Daily live instruction + lab + project work. Weekly assessments. ~40 hours/week (intensive) or ~25 hours/week (part-time).
Phase 2 — Core curriculum (weeks 5-10)
Subject-specific deep-dive. Real-world tools + workflows. Group projects + individual exercises. Increasing complexity.
Phase 3 — Capstone + portfolio (weeks 11-14)
Final capstone project. Portfolio building. Industry mentor reviews. Mock interviews. Career services intensive.
Career services (ongoing)
Career services run throughout + after bootcamp. Resume + portfolio + LinkedIn. Mock interviews. Salary negotiation. Employer connections.
Lifetime career support
Career services don’t end after bootcamp. Re-applying for jobs years later? Career pivots? Salary negotiations? We help. Real lifetime commitment.
