Kinds of program

The main ways bootcamps are run

The right choice depends on your time, your goals and how you like to learn.

Weeks of intensive daily study, usually leaving no room for other work.

02

Part-time or evening

Slower pace, often alongside a job.

03

Self-paced online

Study on your own schedule, with varying levels of support.

04

Web development

Building websites and applications, the most common bootcamp subject.

05

Data and analytics

Working with data, usually with different tools and skills.

06

Cybersecurity and other tracks

Specialist programs aimed at particular roles.

How people pay

Six payment routes, and what each one asks of you

01

Paying upfront

You pay tuition before or as you start. You know the cost, with no later repayments.

02

A loan

You borrow to pay tuition and repay with interest. Check the rate, fees and total repaid.

03

Deferred tuition

You pay later, sometimes after finding a job. Check the conditions and the total.

04

An income share agreement

You repay a share of your income for a set time. Check the cap, the length and what counts as income.

05

A scholarship

Some programs offer them. Ask who qualifies and what they cover.

06

Employer sponsorship

Your employer pays, often with conditions about staying. Read the terms.

Before you enroll

Six things to check before you pay for a bootcamp

01

How are outcomes measured?

What counts as a job, who is included, which years, and whether anyone independent has checked.

02

What is the total cost?

Tuition and any other fees, in writing, and what you owe if you leave early.

03

What are the payment terms?

For any loan, deferred or income share plan, the total you could repay and the conditions.

04

What will I learn?

The syllabus, the tools taught and examples of student projects.

05

What career support is included?

What it involves, for how long, and who provides it.

06

What protections apply in my state?

Some states regulate bootcamps. Ask what applies and where to complain.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What is a coding bootcamp?

It is an intensive, short program that teaches programming skills for a particular kind of work, such as web development or data. Programs differ a lot in length, quality, cost and how much support they give.

Will a bootcamp get me a job?

No program can guarantee one. The job market for new developers changes. Ask what recent graduates in your area have gone on to do, and how the program supports your job search.

How should I judge placement and salary claims?

Ask how the program defines a job outcome, who is counted, which period the figures cover, and whether they have been checked by anyone independent. Be cautious of figures that leave out people who dropped out or took jobs unrelated to coding.

How much does a bootcamp cost?

It varies widely. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for the total in writing, including any fees beyond tuition, and what you would pay if you left early.

What are deferred tuition and income share agreements?

With deferred tuition you pay later, sometimes only after you find a job. With an income share agreement you repay a share of your income for a set time. Read the terms carefully: the total you could repay, how long it lasts, and what counts as income.

Do I need experience first?

Some programs start from scratch and others expect some experience or ask you to complete preparation work. Ask what you need and whether there is an entry test.

What will I actually learn?

Ask to see the syllabus, the languages and tools taught, and examples of student projects. The content should match the work you want to do.

Is there a refund if it isn't right for me?

Policies vary. Ask what happens if you leave in the first weeks, and get it in writing. Some states regulate bootcamps, so also check what protections apply where you live.

What should I have ready?

What you want to learn, any experience so far, and your ZIP code. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a bootcamp?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't teach or guarantee jobs. Any offer or advice comes from the program that contacts you.

Will several programs call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
