While making progress in our free courses is the best way to strengthen your application to our Online and In-Person Software Engineering Bootcamps, finishing the full Coding Bootcamp Prep course is not required to apply. This free course is meant to help you determine whether you want to pursue a lifelong programming career and whether you can successfully learn to code through our teaching techniques and technology.

Our admissions team primarily wants to see consistency in how you’re preparing. As soon as you feel ready to commit your time and energy to an immersive program, you’re encouraged to apply to our Online or In-Person Software Engineering Bootcamps available in NYC, Washington D.C., London, Houston, Atlanta, Denver, Seattle, and Chicago. (Note: It’s important to understand that your initial application and interview is a way for us to get to know you and for you to get to know us, and includes no technical questions.)
