You can succeed in this course even if you’re a complete coding beginner. Here is how we achieve a huge 97% bootcamp graduation success rate.
We encourage prospective students to try coding before you commit to study, so you know that this is really what you want to do. We recommend checking out Codeacademy or FreeCodeCamp to try your hand at JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
The first 6 weeks of study with us is called Foundations and this gives you time to grasp entry level coding concepts and get up to speed with basics before going into the 9 week intensive part of the programme.
The 14 week intensive portion of the course has very high levels of facilitator support, and we offer our Human Skills sessions and 1:1 on-going check in’s with you to ensure you’re fully supported along the way. Classes are small - around 20 so you get a lot of 1:1 support in your online learning environment.
Our facilitators are masters at gearing the curriculum to you and how you learn. A lot of our students tell us they are visual learners, and learn by doing, especially our neurodiverse students. So we gear our teaching toward this style of learning and because of our high student teacher ratios, we can adapt to you specifically.
The practical, “learning through doing” and intense nature of the course and curriculum exceeds what most people think is possible to learn so quickly. We create a highly supportive, highly challenging, and deeply holistic educational experience that makes it possible for you to make major life and career transitions in a very short period of time.
Our 17 week course fees are $12,497
Junior Software Developers can expect a starting salary of $50,000 to $80,000 depending on location, employer and experience (the average is $65,000). And once you become a mid-level developer, tech salaries grow fast, with the median salary for tech jobs being over $100,000 within 6 years. Just look at how much more developers are earning than the average NZ full time salary.
It can be hard to imagine the total benefit of a lifetime wage increase. The average NZ coder can earn over $1.35 million over ten years - so this is a million dollar decision!
