Frequently Asked Questions
I have no prior experience. Can I apply to Developers Institute?
Is it possible to work part-time while taking the course?
No, we do not recommend that students have any other major commitments during the course. You’ll do much better with a full focus on learning. You get out of the course what you are able to put into it. If your goal is to start a new career, you need to bunker down for the duration of the course.
Even when you give the course your full attention, you will feel overwhelmed at times. This is why it’s important to manage your commitments and try to learn as much as you can in twelve weeks. It may sound like a big commitment, but our programs will set you on an amazing trajectory if you are focused.
Can I really be a developer in 12 to 28 weeks?
Yes, you can. We want to teach you to think and solve problems like a real developer, not just how to code. By practicing, you’ll get better and better. After 12 or 28 weeks, you’ll feel ready to start working as an entry-level developer, using the basic coding skills you’ve learned to do well in your job from the start.
What’s a typical day like in the bootcamp?
Mornings are usually filled with lectures, learning, and plenty of fresh coffee. After lunch, you’ll have the chance to apply what you’ve learned through practical exercises. This might involve group projects, focused individual work, tutoring, or paired programming tasks.
We believe in learning by doing, which means you’ll start coding right from the very first day.
What financing options are available?
We know paying for the program can be tough. That’s why we’ve teamed up with top finance companies and government agencies to help our students cover tuition and living expenses. We offer different payment methods, including loans for the bootcamp, scholarships, grants, and benefits for veterans, that could work for you. Check out our tuition page for more details.
Will I be guaranteed a job after graduating?
What you achieve in this program depends on your effort, and we’re really proud of our students’ success! We offer lots of help with finding a job, both while you’re studying and after you graduate, to make sure you get a great job in tech.
