At UCF Coding Boot Camp, we not only want to cover the most in-demand web development skills — we also want to equip you for continual success even after the program ends.

That’s why our curriculum starts with computer science fundamentals, dives into the front-end and back-end, and most importantly, teaches you how to learn so you can keep growing your programming skills in the years to come.

And we know that prospective employers care about what you can do, not just what you say you can do, so hands-on training is at the center of our program. In 12 or 24 weeks, you’ll gain a wide set of coding skills, put them into action, and graduate with an impressive portfolio of projects.
