Bootcamp Prep is an 8-week part-time course designed to help you achieve three goals:
1) Learn the fundamentals of coding in JavaScript, HTML, & CSS.
2) Find out for sure if you truly enjoy coding and show promise as a developer.
3) Get admitted to a top bootcamp to build on your skills & become a software engineer!
This course is divided up into a series of three modules. Core Training has a strict meeting schedule & pace, but other modules allow for some flexibility.
CORE TRAINING: 4 WEEKS (IN-PERSON or ONLINE)
• Meet two evenings per week in a classroom with a 6:1 ratio of students to teachers.
• Work through challenges isolating specific learning objectives in JavaScript, HTML, & CSS.
• Get live support from instructors during class & office hours.
FRONT END WEB DEVELOPMENT: 3 WEEKS (ONLINE)
• Learn to develop like a professional using VS Code
• Master debugging in Chrome Dev Tools
• Delve deeper into intermediate topics with an additional guest lecture
• Build an interactive front-end for an API-driven web application in a final capstone project - with opportunities to add your own creative features
MOCK INTERVIEWS & ADVISING: 1 WEEK (ONLINE)
• Complete a mock bootcamp interview with an instructor and receive your official Bootcamp Readiness Score
• Get advising and recommendations on next steps in your coding journey

This course is designed for complete beginners to coding. You'll be able to call yourself "code literate" and comfortable with the fundamentals of JavaScript, HTML, & CSS.
This is a highly tuned, fast-paced program. At the end of just four weeks, you'll be able to:
• Learn the fundamentals of coding in JavaScript, HTML, & CSS
• Gain an intimate understanding of how applications interface with APIs and handle data
• Think algorithmically and problem solve like a programmer.
• Communicate more effectively with your technical co-workers.
• Start automating some of your repetitive tasks at work.
You will be immersed in a hands-on approach to learning, and you'll be writing code with us from day one. Rather than lecturing you, we'll show you brief demos and then give you opportunities to apply new concepts through progressive challenges.
Note: If you're looking for a slightly longer course with time dedicated to coding bootcamp preparation, you might consider our 8-week Bootcamp Prep course.
