What are the professional backgrounds of coding bootcamp students?

SEI students come from all walks of life but share one common mission: They are passionate about launching a career in tech by gaining an in-demand, technical skill set. We see career-changers from diverse professional backgrounds, including sales, marketing, project management, finance, and many more. Most are aiming to secure jobs as software engineers or web developers, while others may be looking to combine past experience with a new skill set to enter more specialised roles.

Are there any prerequisites for this coding bootcamp?

This is a beginner-friendly programme with no prerequisites, although many students have engaged in self-learning previously or have worked at tech startups or in tech-adjacent roles. Whether you’re new to the field or you’re looking to formalise your practice, our curriculum helps you gain fluency in the languages, frameworks, and libraries that modern employers demand and put them to work.

Our Admissions team can discuss your background and learning goals to advise if SEI is a good fit for you.

The course also requires:

  • A good level of English proficiency (for non-native speakers, a CEFR level of B2 or a TOEFL score of 90 is recommended). Check this self-assessment grid. A placement test will be required if your native language is not English.

  • Your own laptop (Mac only*). It must be no more than four years old and able to run the most recent operating system.

  • If remote, a webcam, headphones, and good access to the internet are required.

* Windows is not supported in this course at this time. In general, we only recommend students set up a Linux or a dual-boot system (Ubuntu) if they are already competent and experienced to run those operating systems (Expert level). Because the configurations of these systems can vary widely and curriculum will only be taught through a Mac OS, our instructors cannot guarantee or will be expected to resolve technical issues for a non-Mac OS.

What does my tuition cover for this coding bootcamp?

Here are just some of the benefits you can expect as a GA student:

  • Expert-led instruction in the skills you need to successfully transition into a software engineering career. If remote, you'll be given free access to Zoom, the videoconferencing application for this instructor-led course.

  • Access to self-paced pre-work to explore software engineering fundamentals and prepare to hit the ground running on day one of class.

  • Robust coursework, including expert-vetted lesson decks, project toolkits, and more. Refresh and refine your knowledge throughout your professional journey as needed.

  • A professional-grade portfolio of projects taken from concept to completion — each mirroring real problems that engineers face — that allows you to showcase the breadth of your technical skills to employers.

  • Individual feedback and guidance from instructors and TAs during office hours. Stay motivated and make the most of your experience with the help of GA’s dedicated team.

  • Access to the collaborative chat tool Slack to communicate with your instructors, peers, and alumni throughout the course.

  • Dedicated career services to help you navigate your personal job search experience, from technical challenges, to salary negotiation, and more. 

  • Technical interview prep, including resume reviews, mock interviews, and whiteboarding practice.

  • Exclusive access to alumni discounts, networking events, and career workshops.

  • A GA course certificate to showcase your new skill set on LinkedIn.

  • Connections with a professional network of instructors and peers that lasts well beyond the course. The global GA community can help you navigate and succeed in the field.

What projects will I work on during this coding bootcamp?

For your capstone project, you’ll mimic a team-client interaction, collaborating to build and deploy a full-stack application that fulfills provided specs. The final result will integrate functionality from a third-party API.

Throughout this Immersive, you’ll also compile a portfolio of solo and group projects designed to reinforce what you’ve learned in each unit. Gain hands-on experience building and deploying front-end and full-stack applications with a variety of languages and frameworks.

How does this coding bootcamp relate to GA’s other tech courses?

Software Engineering Immersive is for learners who are committed to making a career change.
Front-End Web Development offers a popular “starter” option for those who are curious about careers in tech or want to work more effectively with technical stakeholders. JavaScript Development offers a further deep dive into the world’s most popular programming language.

Which format should I take this coding bootcamp in – on campus or online?

It’s up to you! Our remote courses offer a learning experience that mirrors GA’s on-campus offerings but allow you to learn from the comfort of home. If you don’t live near a GA campus, have a busy travel schedule, or just want to save yourself the commute, a remote course could be a good option for you, if available in your market. You’ll still get access to the expert instruction, learning resources, and support network that GA is known for.

If you prefer to learn alongside your peers and can make it to campus, our in-person courses allow you to take advantage of our beautiful classrooms and workspaces.

Our Admissions team can advise you on the best format for your personal circumstances and learning style.

What is the remote experience at GA?

Engage in live, online, project-based learning that’s designed to transform your career — from anywhere. Powered by Zoom, the major video conferencing tool, and the collaborative messaging platform Slack, our interactive classroom mirrors what you’ll encounter as part of the modern workforce.

You’ll be able to not only share your screen and present your work to classmates but also collaborate in small groups via breakout rooms. Additionally, you can revisit recordings of class sessions in the future.

Beyond class hours, get guidance, feedback, technical assistance, and more during frequent one-on-one check-ins and office hours.

What do career services look like for remote students?

The same as our on-campus experience! We approach our remote Outcomes programming with the same philosophy, promise to, and expectations of our students. Get an insider’s look at the tech industry through virtual sessions like day-in-the-life talks, hiring panel discussions, guest speakers, and more. You’ll work individually with your career coach to understand your local job market, find opportunities, and connect with the local tech community. Our Admissions team can provide more details on the dedicated support you’ll receive on the path to landing a software engineering role.

In what language is this coding bootcamp taught?

Our courses will be delivered in two ways:

  • Fully in English 

  • In French, with English materials 

Please check with the Admissions team to confirm which is true of your course of interest and what is relevant for your situation. In both cases, if you are not native speaker, a CEFR level of B2 or a TOEFL score of 90 is recommended. (Review this self-assessment grid in English.) A placement test will be required if your native language is not English.

What are my financing options for this coding bootcamp?

We offer a variety of different financing options, including instalment plans, income share agreements, and tuition discounts so you can focus on what counts — your education. Speak with our Admissions team to learn more and find the best fit for you and your finances.

Our programme is currently not eligible for governmental funds in France such as CPF, however, we are working to become eligible in the future. 

The “Compte personnel de formation” (i.e., “personal training account’”) was created in order to provide training opportunities throughout an employee’s professional life in France, encouraging everyone to undertake training or study throughout their working life until retirement age.

The CPF is made available to employees working in the private sector, as well as job-seekers and youth who are entering the world of work (at 15- or 16-years-old) exclusively in France.

However, do not hesitate to contact your company to find out if it can utilise its personal funds to help you finance training, or contact your National Job Centre (Pôle Emploi) advisor if you are a job-seeker. Indeed, many structures in France such as your region, Pôle Emploi, or AGEFIPH can help you finance your training. Your job-seeker advisor at Pôle Emploi will be able to direct you toward these different systems or offer you Individual Training Assistance (AIF).
