Frequently Asked Questions about our Courses and Pre Bootcamps

What is a Full Stack?

A Full Stack is a combination of the front-end, the back-end, the database and the DevOps. The front-end is what you see when you browse the internet: the images, the buttons, the content, the structure of the web page, etc. Each full stack uses different tools, frameworks, and technologies. So when we say we teach a "full-stack", we mean we will teach you the language as well as the associated front and back-end tools you'll need to create your own application and deploy start to finish.

Why 4 stacks vs 1? What are the benefits?

We teach 4 stacks because we have found that very few companies use only one language, but also because learning to learn is an essential skill for a developer. According to a survey of over 100,000 developers by HackerRank published in 2020, 60% of full-stack developers were required to learn a completely new framework in the last year—more than any other role polled. Full-stack developers also have to learn the most languages: 45% reported that they had to pick up a new one within the last year. In addition, a survey by Stack Overflow of 65,000 developers said 75% of respondents noted that they learn new technology at least every few months or once a year. By learning 4 stacks now, you’ll feel confident learning new technologies going forward.

Is it possible to learn so many languages so fast?

We've been around since 2016. Our curriculum is designed by IITM Alumnus after deep research and various employers' feedback we designed this course. We have found that the 4 full-stack model really helps our students stand out from the pack. As long as you put in the work, our instructors and student success team will be there to help.

I don't have coding experience, can I take this course?

Yes! 70-80% of our students don't have coding experience when they enrol in the program. Lots of boot camps say they don't require coding experience, but then have all these hurdles to getting started. We don't have a coding challenge or technical assessment to enrol, because we know that we can teach you, no matter where you start. Our Programming Basics course was designed just for students that have little to no experience. This course was developed expressly to make sure that students are successful, no matter where they start.

Can I really get a job after only 7 weeks?

Absolutely. It really just depends on how motivated you are towards the job! You get what you put in.

What if I don’t get a job?

Hey, we get it, a career change is scary, and a Bootcamp is a big investment. But that's why we invest so much into our students! Here are a couple of ways we support you... Our career services start after completion of one module of your Bootcamp, not after graduation, so you're as prepared as possible for the job search. 90% of our students get a job within the first 6 months, but even if you're still looking, our career services don't expire after 6 months - in fact, they are available to you for life! So we'll be right there, no matter how long it takes. We have an alumni network of grads that you can reach out to as well.

How many people are going to be in my class? If I have a question will the instructor be able to answer it?

Class size varies, but we cap our online classes at 20 students max. Our instructors always have office hours and are only teaching 1 or 2 classes a day to make sure they can answer your questions.

I can’t pay during the program; what are my options to defer payment?

We get it as a student you may feel a little burden to pay the heavy tuition fees. But we are making it simple for you. We will be charging you only 30% tuition fees upfront. Once you get placed you can pay the remaining via EMI. Talk to us to know more about EMI options.

What happens if it’s too difficult for me and I have to drop out?

If you find yourself struggling, reach out to both your instructor and the student support team. Together, we will do our absolute best to keep you on track and feeling confident about the material.

I don’t have any experience but I really want to get into coding, how can I know for sure this is for me?

Take a look at our curriculum, and talk to our Student grievance! There are also some great youtube videos out there regarding coding Bootcamp. It's definitely a good idea to do some research to make sure you enjoy it!

What is the average salary made upon graduation?

Our grads have seen an average starting salary of 4 LPA nationwide.

What is a Coding Bootcamp?

A coding Bootcamp is a technical training program that teaches the programming skills that employers look for. Coding boot camps enable students with little coding proficiency to focus on the most important aspects of coding and immediately apply their new coding skills to solve real-world problems.

The goal of many coding Bootcamp attendees is to transition into a career in web development.

They do this by learning to build applications at a professional level – which provides the foundation they need to build production-ready applications and demonstrate they have the skills to add real value to a potential employer.

Why Coding Bootcamps Are Important?

We live in a world where technology is continuing to evolve. Technology is drastically changing how we do everything in our lives. It’s more common than ever to get around using Uber or Lyft, technology-driven transportation companies. Companies like Apple, Square and PayPal are changing how we pay for things. It seems every industry is being radically impacted by how technology is shaping the world around us.

Software is taking over the world. This shift changes how we live our lives, but also requires employees with software engineering skills capable of building the technology that we all use.

Attending a coding Bootcamp is a viable path to transition into a career in web development as an alternative (or supplement) to graduating with a 4-year degree in Computer Science to help fill the need of skilled software engineers in the industry.

How Coding Bootcamps Work?

Coding boot camps last anywhere from 6 weeks to nearly two years, but with programs typically spanning a range from 12-40 weeks. Given the condensed time frame of training, it is critical that these education programs are designed around two core pillars: speed and high-impact learning. Let’s look at why both of these are critically important.

SPEED

Most computer science students spend 4 years completing their degree. Computer Science degrees include classes on a wide range of topics relevant to computing. Most students will take classes on programming and software development. In addition, when taking a four-year degree, there are many classes on topics like networking, operating systems and computing theory that are helpful for understanding the topic in academia, but that are disconnected from the daily life of a software developer in the real world.

Coding boot camps isolate the most relevant skills from a 4-year degree and infuse them with relevant industry skills to bridge the gap between the theoretical world of academia and the real world that meets the current needs of the industry.

Despite the two programs being different, both a four-year degree in Computer Science and graduating from a quality Bootcamp can provide a viable path to starting a career as a web developer. Many people do both.

HIGH IMPACT LEARNING

Coding boot camps focus on high-impact learning and teach only the skills that will prove to be most relevant in the real world. These programs focus intensely to skill their members up with exactly what they will need to be successful coding in the professional world.

The time frame that members attend a coding Bootcamp is relatively short when compared to traditional training with a four-year degree from the university. In order to make this work, all non-essential skills are ruthlessly cut from the coding Bootcamp curriculum.

This means that coding boot camps are ideal for people who want to obtain the technical skills that will help them become employable but to also do so in a very short time frame.

Given coding boot camps focus on providing an accelerated rate of high-impact
learning, these education programs are not for everyone. Instead, these programs are designed specifically for people who want to maximize the number of skills they obtain in a short amount of time during an intensive training experience.
