Some do well with lectures i.e. listening, others learn by demos i.e. watching, while some learn by working on projects, i.e. kinesthetic learning styles. This bootcamp teaches you to learn in proven ways, utilizing a combination of techniques, self-study and project work.

Important Registration Information
Students cannot register for ITSX-3036 Software Development Bootcamp until they take a free computer literacy assessment. If a student is unable to pass the assessment on the first attempt they may enroll in our Software Bootcamp Prep Course. A student is permitted to enroll in the Bootcamp once they pass the entrance assessment or successfully pass the Software Bootcamp Prep Course. If you would like to take the assessment, please email the Program Coordinator.
Although it is not required, students are strongly encouraged to take ITSX-3026 Trial Class since this is a "test drive" of the Bootcamp and will provide students with hands-on labs to help them determine whether or not the ITSX-3036 Bootcamp will be a good fit for them.
