    Amazing people

    Going into this program, I didn't know what to expect. I had some programming experience before, but it was in an academic setting so I didn't have a reference point for a professional development program. What I ended up experiencing in this program was a model that worked. The curriculum was reverse-engineered from what employers expected their web developers to know. The approach to learning was hands-on and project-based.

    From the start to the finish line, we wer...

    A Great Bootcamp to get my Career Started

    My journey at Northwest Coding Bootcamp has been nothing short of transformative. As a Business Systems Analyst, I had the chance to dabble in development projects which I thoroughly enjoyed. Despite the gratification these projects offered, I recognized my self-taught skills had limitations. Craving a more solid foundation, I found the bootcamp to be an ideal conduit for enhancing my knowledge base.

    Cybersecurity Boot Camp

    I am a recent graduate of the cybersecurity boot camp with Northwestern University. I do not have an IT background. I am transitioning into IT from teaching. When I started this boot camp, I did not know anything about a 'terminal,' or that it even existed, beyond what movies show you. I went from absolutely zero knowledge of IT, to graduating from my cohort with an A+ grade. The cohort will be rigorous, and it will push you to your limits! You will doubt yourself many times, but if you ...

    Financial Technology

    Having the courage to enroll in Northwestern's Fintech Bootcamp was one of the best decisions that I made for a career move. I use to work in the educational system but I wanted a change in my career path. I have always been in the digital asset space, but I wanted a leg up on the market and become more competitive with the coding skills that Northwestern University has provided. Learning Solidity & Python has opened doors for me in the Financial Technology space.

    I decided to pursue a boot-camp after doing a few projects at work that involved coding.
