Our seasoned and industry-knowledgeable instructors are tracking each student’s progress daily, adapting classroom teaching to needs. Instructors and tutors are always available for additional help.
Because every student learns differently, our curriculum includes tutorials, videos, exercises, extra reading, individual and group projects.
With the depth and breadth of our curriculum, you’ll graduate ready and able to step into your new job role as a high-value professional. With every class cohort, curriculum is updated and fine-tuned.
Establish foundational programming skills with Java or C#. 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.
You will learn either the Java or C# language, depending on your bootcamp selection. 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:
Java/C# (.NET)
HTML
CSS
JavaScript
SQL

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.
We founded Tech Elevator as a demand-driven program designed to get you into a great career in programming. Java and C# are both widely used in software development, with a consistently large number of job openings in a variety of industries worldwide.
These two languages are excellent foundations which can act as a springboard to other languages you learn as you continue to build your career.
Both are great languages to know, but depending on your job focus, certain industries tend to use one language more than the other. As a good starting point, research types of jobs you’re interested in and check out the requirements listed in the job description. If there are certain companies you’re targeting, they may prefer one technology over the other and some basic research will give you the answer. We’re happy to talk through this more if you have questions.
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.
Yes, you can. Our goal is to teach you how to be a developer, not just how to write code. That means you’re solving problems and thinking through solutions like a developer as you continue to practice and grow in your career. After 14 or 30 weeks, you’ll have confidence to start your career as a junior developer with the foundational code skills that will have you making an impact from your first day on the job.
Beyond the hard skills you’ll also become a well-rounded job candidate after taking advantage of our Pathway Program™, focusing on career development skills to help land your next job.
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.
Our proprietary learning management system, BootcampOS, is developed by tech experts, for tech students. Our instructors have classroom and industry expertise that translates into an extraordinary learning experience.
