Coding bootcamps offer job seekers the opportunity to immerse themselves in a targeted learning environment to gain specific skills suitable to the most recent industry demands
Bootcamps offer individuals with or without a college degree an alternative to get job-ready in as little as 3-6 months. Employers (who may or may not require a college degree for some of their job openings) rely on bootcamps to provide a pipeline of qualified candidates for the jobs they need to fill to keep pace with industry and market demands. If you enroll in a bootcamp instead of pursuing a college degree, you may have to start in an entry-level job role and prove yourself with your skills and hard work to move up the career ladder.
For 32 years, we've surveyed students about their college experiences. Each year, that has reinforced our core belief that there's no "best" college—only a college that's best for each unique student. The same goes for bootcamps: you need to find the offering that best fits your needs.
With employers looking to the bootcamp pipeline to find prospects with the right skills, consider whether a bootcamp is the right way for you to polish or increase your skills for in-demand job areas. With an ever-growing list of coding bootcamps to choose from, finding your best-fit bootcamp is vital.
What coding bootcamp is right for me?
To find the right bootcamp, think about what you need in four different categories, or the Four C's of bootcamp: career, curriculum, composition, and cost.
> Career - read more
Just as there are various degrees you can pursue at college, so too are there specific certificates you can complete in each bootcamp. Define your goals before selecting your bootcamp, such as to:
- change careers
- enhance your current position
- find entry-level work
While bootcamps are not accredited, they do offer you an accelerated path to launch into a career as a coder, software developer, UI designer, and more. Upon completion, you will receive a Bootcamp certificate that indicates you are prepared for entry-level work in the field you studied. You will also want to expand upon and enhance any portfolio you build during bootcamp as you apply for jobs; perhaps you build an app to solve a problem using your bootcamp skills, which will make your resumé even stronger. The Ed Tech company Multiverse, , notes "three crucial criteria: coding skills, soft skills including learning agility and the ability to cross collaborate, plus a foundational knowledge of AI theory, even if it is self-taught or acquired in online courses."
> Curriculum - read more
Find a reputable institution or program that has a proven track record of success in your field. Ask the following questions depending on your needs:
- Does the curriculum cover all the practical skills required in your field?
- Does the syllabus utilize technology, language, and projects that will provide practical work experience?
- Is the bootcamp designed for beginners or does it have pre-requisites?
- What is your access to instructors, in-person help, and tutoring resources?
- What networking opportunities are available with classmates and graduates/alumni during and after the bootcamp? (See also: Composition)
> Composition - read more
Bootcamps can offer a variety of learning formats, so choose the one that best fits your needs. If possible, take an informational session. Even better, try to find a demo class that allows you to interact with the learning environment firsthand, get a sense of the teacher's style, and have some real-world experience.
- Location—In-person, online, and hybrid. If you thrive in a hands-on, immersive learning environment, an in-person bootcamp may be the right choice. Conversely, if flexibility and convenience are needed, an online bootcamp might be the better option.
- Pacing—full-time, part-time, or self-paced. If speed is of the essence, full-time programs are the way to go; if you need flexibility, self-paced and part-time options are helpful. If you choose full-time, make sure you understand the time commitment and workload required to balance against your existing responsibilities like work or family.
- Networking Opportunities—events, online groups, or alumni connections. Does the bootcamp provide real opportunities to network, whether with employers or alumni of the program?
> Cost (Including Job Placement Rates, and Return on Investment) - read more
Bootcamp tuition and associated costs can range widely from very expensive to practically free. They can come with varying levels of instruction, interaction, and support. Ultimately, you need to decide how much a potential boost to your career prospects is worth.
- Cost—There's more to consider than just the sticker price of the bootcamp. A more expensive offering with a higher job placement rate may be worth the investment. That said, make sure to factor in associated fees and related costs, such as for textbooks, equipment, software, and even commuting costs for in-person bootcamp.
- Return on Investment (ROI)— Research the average salaries for professionals in your chosen field and consider the level of job placement support your bootcamp offers. Weigh the likelihood of that job and salary against the final cost of the course to calculate your personal ROI.
- Financial Aid—Some bootcamps have university partners and may have associated loans, scholarships, and grants. They may also have financing options such as deferred tuition, payment plans, or income share agreements.
Enrolling in any bootcamp is a significant investment in your future, so take the necessary time to explore the details upfront to find the best-fit bootcamp for you.
