Course overview
Coding Foundations is the gentle on-ramp. Over four weeks you go from never having written a line of code to building small, real programs of your own — and, just as importantly, you find out whether you actually enjoy it before committing time and money to a full bootcamp.
We teach in JavaScript, the language that runs the web, using fun, hands-on projects rather than dry theory. You learn the core ideas every programmer uses — variables, logic, loops, functions — by building things, with an instructor and a small group around you so you are never stuck alone.
It is deliberately low-risk and high-clarity. Plenty of our bootcamp graduates started right here, used Foundations to confirm coding was for them, and rolled the course fee into their bootcamp tuition. If it turns out coding is not your thing, you have spent four weeks and a small fee to find that out — far better than discovering it three months in.
