Coding Bootcamp FAQ

We revise our curriculum constantly to stay current with the hiring market. Through our relationships with hiring managers across the country, market research , and our instructors’ own knowledge of the programming world, we keep our finger on the pulse.

A Full Stack is made up of the front-end, the back-end, and the database. The front-end is what you see when you go onto the internet: the colors, the buttons, the content, etc. Each full stack uses different tools, frameworks, and technologies. So when we say we teach a “full-stack”, we mean we will teach you the language as well as the associated front and back-end tools you’ll need to create your own application start to finish. Having full stack capabilities helps you stand out to employers too!

Since our curriculum’s inception in 2012, we’ve learned a lot about what a programmer needs to know to be able to contribute to a company from day one. A core skill of an effective web developer is the ability to pick up a programming language quickly and to build something with it, even if they have not used that language before. By learning multiple languages up front, you’ll gain confidence with the learning process itself, so you’re ready for whatever your career throws at you.Between languages, you will be able to clearly see different syntaxes and data handling, but you will also see that most web programming languages are remarkably similar. Having a strong understanding of concepts like OOP, MVC, and Database Scaling is the best way to prepare for picking up new skills quickly. You’ll avoid getting stuck in one language, and you’ll become a more versatile and skilled web developer.

We can tell you that, at the start, almost all of our students doubt what they can accomplish by the end of the program – that’s a natural feeling when you are learning something new. In fact, 70-80% of our students have no coding experience at all before starting. However, as the curriculum progresses, we see our students quickly gain confidence as they see themselves solving real problems, building advanced web applications, and thinking like true software developers. By the end of the coding bootcamp, they (and we) have been consistently amazed at what they can build in such a short period of time.

The number of projects and assignments you’ll complete varies by program. Regardless, you will graduate with an impressive portfolio to show prospective employers!

For all programs, the first step is to submit your application! For our Full-Time Software Development progress, you will then schedule and complete a short behavioral interview. After your application (and interview if needed), you should expect a decision within 2-3 business days. If you are accepted, you’ll then work with an admissions advisor to finalize your financing or payment structure. Once you pay your deposit*, you’ll be enrolled in the course and will be connected to your onboarding specialist. Your onboarding specialist will help you get set up in our systems, walk you through your prework, and answer any questions you might have.

Absolutely! Learning to code is fun (to us, anyway!) and can be helpful for almost any career. Maybe you have an idea of an application you’d like to build yourself, or maybe you just love problem solving. No matter what your goals are, you’ll fit right in.

No! In fact, 70-80% of our students don’t have prior experience before starting their course. For some courses, we offer a free two-week intro course called Programming Basics. This course is covered in the cost of tuition for the full-time programs, and is there to help beginners feel comfortable and confident on day one of bootcamp. Pro tip: make sure to complete the pre-course work for your program! Students who don’t complete the pre-work might feel behind, and we want all students to be set up for success.

Traditionally, yes. However due to COVID-19 we are not currently able to provide visa sponsorship. For Onsite learning, international students are limited to our Tunis campus. We do not have the resources to help with visa arrangements or travel plans, but you can speak to admissions to learn more about the process. Enrolling for our online courses is also a great option for students overseas. Please note that some financing options may not be available for international student.
