LEARN academy’s full-time course is Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm. Students spend the first 12 weeks working in the online classroom and the final 4 weeks in their remote programming internship.

LEARN academy’s 4 month bootcamp is Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm.

We have had students hold part-time jobs while attending the coding bootcamps at LEARN academy. They tell us that it’s not too bad if your work is on the weekend, but working more than one night per week is really tough. It is tough but possible.

We offer students an online classroom experience where they can interact with the instructor and fellow classmates in real time. Lectures are also live and students are expected to be participating in the class from 9am-5pm (we of course provide breaks and a lunch period).

Students enrolled at LEARN academy receive a loaned MacBook Air for the duration of the 4-month program. Students are required to sign a loan agreement and we will ship laptops to students. It is a requirement to use the provided laptop to ensure that all students have the same environment setup to avoid conflicts. This also greatly simplifies the process for instructors troubleshooting work environments. After completing the 4-month program, students are required to return the loaned MacBook Air.

We keep a student/teacher ratio of less that 10/1 , so 1 teacher for 10 students, 2 for 11-20, 3 for 21-24. We cap our coding classes at 24 students max.

If a student requires additional attention or assistance of any kind, LEARN academy has several resources available to ensure that every student is in clear understanding of the topic or lesson. This includes dedicated one on one time with our instructor after classroom hours.

We use pair programming in our everyday instruction. This means you will be working along side another student, sharing a screen and working through the exercises together. We do this for two reasons. First, pair programming is very common in the work place and it’s important that you, as a junior developer, know how to work in that environment. Second, it is a wonderful tool to help you retain information. While you pair, you are talking through the code you spend your day both learning and teaching which helps you understand the material better with your pair programming partner.

At LEARN we start the process early. Throughout the course we help you craft your resume, refine your interview techniques, assemble your portfolio, and build your network. We know that your network is one of your biggest assets, so we help you from the very beginning. We invite people from the community into the virtual classroom to speak regularly, we host meetups virtually & promote workshops and meetups that might be of interest. We regularly post spotlights on our company partners who take on interns (and have been known to hire them!). All of this is in preparation for the job hunt that will start once you’ve finished the course. That being said we continue to assist with all of these things after you’ve finished the course. We also keep you up to date with job postings and continue to help you build your network. Our Career Services Manager will work with you until you find a job – and will continue to be available to you for your entire career!

As a Junior Developer, the starting salary can roughly be around $45,000 to $65,000. This is a wide range that can depend on the position, where the job is located, as well as the applicant’s experience and background. Typically after 2-3 years in the industry and role, the salary can get closer to $75,000 to $95,000.

There is no cost to submit an application! If you have been accepted into the program, you will be required to pay a deposit of $500 to guarantee your seat. This deposit payment will be applied to your remaining tuition due.

Enrolled students are required to pay the tuition by the first day of class. We offer a handful of Financing Options that allow for you to pay the tuition off by means of a loan in the instance that you are unable to pay it all at once. You can read more about financing options for students here.

There are a few different ways to fund your coding bootcamp experience. We offer multiple scholarships and discounts, work with a number of financing partners, and accept up-front payments. You can read more about financing options for students here https://learnacademy.org/financing/
