Our industry-aligned curriculum is full-stack, and it evolves with the needs of our massive employer network. The result?
Students in every cohort enter the job market with the most up-to-date skills, honed by hands-on project work.
Establish foundational programming skills with Java. You'll develop an application that models real-world problems by the end of this module.
You'll write conditional code that can help make decisions, use collections to organize data sets, and leverage object-oriented programming principles for code modularity.
Learn about back-end development by connecting your programs with other applications to save and retrieve data. Learn to develop applications that use SQL to communicate with databases to store data.
Then learn how to work with and build APIs to distribute your data to other applications.
Learn how to build web applications with complex layouts using HTML and CSS. Then you'll see how JavaScript enables your applications to create dynamic, interactive experiences for your users through a web browser.
Learn about agile methodologies and experience collaborating on a team to build a full-stack application that uses the lessons learned throughout the curriculum.
Each student is paired with a personal Pathway Program™ career coach, working together throughout the program on professional and job search prep.
From resumes to networking, mock interviews to employer introductions, we'll be a true partner in helping you achieve your goals.
Before you build a personal brand, our team will help you build a solid foundation through our self-discovery process. Your introduction to a career search begins with the CliftonStrengths assessment to identify your unique strengths.
Before diving in further, we'll also teach a few simple practices you can introduce into your daily routine to manage stress and imposter syndrome.
The final phase of self-discovery includes working closely with a career coach to develop your elevator pitch—a concise summary about yourself, qualifications and goals.
Develop key credentials for employers, including your resume, a sophisticated LinkedIn profile and portfolio projects. You will kickoff career strategy meetings with your coach to begin discussing career goals after Tech Elevator, what's important in your next role and what you're most interested in.
Our team will also guide you in your first meetings with recruiters, including best practices for an initial meeting.
This final phase is all about putting your best foot forward in the job search. You'll learn what to expect during both behavioral and technical interviews—and apply your learnings in mock interviews.
You’ll begin the process of applying for jobs and take part in additional networking opportunities and matchmaking events with direct connections to potential employers.
A bootcamp day is full and fast-paced. Activities change up frequently, blending coding and career. Explore the typical schedule of a full-time student below.

Potential students often want to know more.
You will start by learning the Java programming language. By the time you graduate, you will be able to create dynamic, database-backed web applications. This will give you the foundational skills to hit the ground running as a junior web application developer.
Specific technologies you will learn include:Our instructors are industry professionals with an average of 20 years working as software developers. They’re passionate about helping students start their careers in tech, and are invested in their success. Stop by an Open House to meet an instructor – either remotely or at a campus.
Most mornings consist of lectures and learning, and lots of fresh coffee. After we break for lunch, you get to test your skills with hands-on practice. This could consist of group work, headphones-on solo work, tutoring sessions or pairing programming assignments.
The best way to learn is to do, so you’ll literally be coding from day one.
Once you’ve been accepted into Tech Elevator, we’ll be reaching out to you for best ways to prepare with exercises recommended by our instructors. In the meantime, Stanford’s Computer Science 101 is a great place to start. It’s free and can be accessed here.
In addition to your instructor in the classroom, each cohort has dedicated instructors who support extra work outside of the classroom. That means you can schedule tutoring sessions as much as you need to, ensuring you’re understanding concepts and implementing coding.
Remember, your cohort lead and instructors have a pretty good pulse on how you’re keeping up and will work with you if you feel like you’re getting behind or struggling in any way.
It is highly recommended that you complete prework, as it is a proven indicator of success later in the program. If you are not able to complete your prework, be sure to connect with us to develop an action plan for your personal success!
Can you tell us why you’re looking to push your enrollment to a later start date? We can help you to do that, but we’ll need to connect you with an Admissions representative to go over details.
We ask that Students set aside 35-45 hours to complete this work in advance of their cohort start date. Be sure to get started as soon as possible!
No previous coding experience is required. Our prework is designed to step you through new concepts and ideas so that when you start the bootcamp, you are prepared.
First off, congratulations! Our prework is extensive and you have done a great job completing it. If you feel you would like to dig a little deeper into a particular area covered in the prework, you can reach out to our Prework Academic Fellow, who can give you other work to help you build your confidence even more.
If you have questions about the prework itself, you can reach out to our Academic Fellow staff through our prework Slack channel. If you post a question in the Slack channel, you will either receive an answer from them, or one of your fellow prework teammates might help out. It’s a great place to get to know some of your fellow classmates and start building the Tech Elevator community.
