Forget Barry’s Bootcamp, cult favourite of all fitness fans. The latest trend in training is devoted to coding and programming.
IT bootcamps are currently the fastest and coolest way to get into the industry and can provide those with no prior experience a sought-after qualification that could jumpstart your new career.
You’ll learn how to master programming languages such as Python and HTML as well as learning about project management.
If you’re thinking about a career in programming or software engineering, taking part in a coding bootcamp could be the best holiday you take this year.
It’s helping females get into the sector
With the number of females in the IT sector having fallen, coding bootcamps are now giving women from all backgrounds the chance to enter the industry through software engineering.
Rather than trying to attract school leavers, these companies are recruiting adult women who are already working and want to make a jump to IT.
One company in the US has already helped more than 700 women land jobs at Facebook, Reddit and Amazon.
You can take part anytime, anywhere
As well as full-time bootcamps, you can opt in to part-time courses, meaning you don’t have to quit your current job in order to give it a go.
This way if you’re supporting a family or have other commitments, you can learn to code alongside your day job. And don’t worry if you live out in the middle of nowhere – that’s why online coding bootcamps exist.
They’re fast
The thought of undergoing another three or four-year degree is off-putting as well as costly for most people.
Coding bootcamps are usually self-paced and can even take just three months to complete.
Rather than snoozing through lectures, you’ll find yourself doing more practical work to help you quickly become efficient in programming languages.
You gain valuable skills
If you’re interested in becoming a software engineer, a coding bootcamp can provide you with many of the skills needed.
You’ll learn programming languages so you can write code within the job, as well as gaining knowledge about web development frameworks and databases.
All of the skills you learn are exactly what the industry is looking for.
Coding bootcamps can be pricey but with many IT jobs offering large starting salaries, it will be worth it in the long run.
