Get Started
The advice of coming to coding Bootcamp is that you must have the time to practice either before or after coming to class. Alumni Tucker mentioned that the best athletes who would constantly practice, including the best software developer, would practice gaining more skills in their field. It is like the saying goes, “practice until it becomes natural.”
Just do something that you will never regret making a change for your future career. Alumni Jenny and Emma mention that it would be worth it to try out coding. They included that even though everyone’s path is going to be different, the skills that you learn from LEARN are invaluable, and you will know which set you up for success in any career.”
It is crucial to be confident in making the change of doing something new. Most of all, enjoying learning about coding like Alumni Mike did when attending LEARN academy. Mike mentions that if you’re not having fun, it shows that coding might not be for you. Therefore, there is nothing to be nervous about learning something new to you. He does have more advice for learning about coding. There is a video for you to learn more about coding.
Everyone has their way of learning to code. During 2020, students have the benefit of having their studying environment at their home. Alumni Tsz, Andee, and Rudy express how taking classes online is beneficial while being at home. During those times, they want to let everyone know that they’re not alone and knowing everyone was going through it together. They have lists of advice for future or current students in the video. You should check it out.
When making those decisions of changing for the future, the change has to be 100%. If there are doors that open for you even though you looked into it, look at it as a new opportunity. Alumni Kyle wants to give encouraging advice to be open to opportunities for future careers. Know that everyone has their way of learning to code. There are videos to learn more advice on joining a coding boot camp.
We all have our way of recognizing the capability to make the change. Know that there will be some challenges to learn outside of the box. Alumni Kate wants to knowledge who joins coding boot camp that they are beginners to learn something new. Being a beginner and embracing the changes are normal because you accept new challenges. There is a video link for you to hear more from Kate’s experience and her way of handling the situation.
The alumni you have witnessed in those videos were once beginners willing to spread their experiences would benefit all future students. Some of them did not have any experience with coding. Others have done it but not very much. Overall, having experiences does not need to be required unless there is no motivation for the work. Just remember that everyone is at the same level when learning for the first time.

Below you will find answers to the most common questions you may have. If you are interested in receiving updates on our future cohorts please join our waitlist!
There isn’t really a typical student at LEARN academy. Most have not taken computer science classes in college, although some have. Some have not gone to college at all, but many have undergraduate degrees in something other than computer science. Past graduates have been in the entertainment industry, waitresses, massage therapists, in the military, and just about anything else you can think of.
Students who are accepted and enrolled in the 4 month bootcamp are required to attend and participate in a workshop, called Jumpstart, offered by LEARN academy prior to the first day of the program. These workshops are free for students and included in the price of the tuition for the bootcamp. LEARN academy offers multiple workshops leading up to the start of class that students can sign up for.
One of the things we look for in an application is – did we get to know you? It’s almost impossible for us to get to know a candidate if each of the essay answers is only two sentences long. It doesn’t need to be a novel, but before you submit, check to make sure your personality is coming out in your writing.
Once you have submitted your application, the team at LEARN academy will review it and be in touch within a week of your submission date. If we feel it is a good fit we will ask you in for an interview. It is an informal interview. A chance for us to get to know you and for you to ask any questions you might have about the coding course. We know that it is vital to your success to find the course that is best for you and your learning needs. We use the interview to find out if we are the best fit for you! If at that point we both agree that it is a good fit we will invite you to secure a seat in the class of your choice.
