What Boot Camp Alumni
Are Saying:

  • “I had an art background and realized art is not the career path I wanted to take. I decided to attend the boot camp to make a career change, and was surprised and happy to find out that the change happened a lot sooner than I expected. I landed a job as an associate software engineer within one month after graduation, and have more than doubled my income. I am very grateful for the opportunities that this boot camp has brought me, and this [has] become one of the biggest changes in my life.”

    Dilan L.
  • “I loved the program! It was a bit of a leap, sinking that much time and money into a field that I had very little experience with, but it has absolutely been worth it. The teaching system they used was very hands-on and encouraging, and the classroom culture was extremely conducive to my success. I never felt left out, or that I didn’t have a resource to go to for help with any problem I faced, which was a huge deal to me because I was essentially new to coding. I am certain that I was selected for my current position over other candidates because of the portfolio I was able to build during the course and the skills I picked up there.”

    Thomas S.
  • “It was AMAZING! I thought I wouldn’t enjoy it as much as I did but it turns out I ended up loving it more than I thought I would. This experience has opened so many doors for me and I am so happy that I get a head start in the right direction!”

    Benjamin L.
  • “I wanted a career change and after looking through reviews online I came across the University of Utah [Professional Education] oding boot camp. After the boot camp, I have found a career in development and am very happy with [my] choice.”
