The immersive courses include Web Development, Java Software Engineering, Python Software Engineering, Data Analytics, Software Quality Assurance (QA), iOS App Development, and User Experience (UX) Design. The Web track covers front-end and back-end JavaScript (HTML/CSS, jQuery, AngularJS, Node.js, Express, data sources like SQL, Mongo, Firebase). The iOS track covers mobile development in Swift. The UI/UX course covers prototyping, visual/motion design, sketch, adobe suite, UX research, wireframing, and analytical tools. Devmountain instructors are all coding industry professionals and aim to bring real-world applications into the classroom. The immersive courses require 40 to 60 hours of pre-course work, 40 hours of class per week, and 10 to 20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The part-time programs require 30 to 40 hours of pre-course work, 11 hours of class per week, and 10 to 20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The school was started in 2013 in Provo, Utah.
The first step to applying for Devmountain bootcamp is to check out the courses and start dates. Once the student has picked a course, they must submit an online application. Next, students speak with a member of the admissions team by phone to further discuss the program. After the phone call, students must complete a challenge to test their knowledge of the course subject matter. Finally, the admissions team will notify students if they qualify for acceptance. Devmountain recommends that students have some exposure to coding before applying.

Best School Ever
DevMountain was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. I had almost no coding experience yet they happily worked with me whenever I needed help, from admissions all the way to graduation, they were more than happy to help me.

Their outcomes team is also very dedicated to help you land a job, from working on my resume, job search platforms, as well as sites such as LinkedIn they help in anyway possible. 10/10 recommend DevMountain. - Elisha MalvidoGraduate • Web Development Full-Time • LehiDec 08, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Better than I expected!
Overall I'd say I had a great experience at Devmountain. The help I received from alumni was completely unexpected. Be prepared to create projects and start thinking about creating things you are passionate about. I only have 2 things I wish were a little different; first I wish they gave more feedback with the students (even those who are passing or doing well) and sharing more about what they see their skills are, secondly is that I wish they had more resources to help with job placeme...Overall I'd say I had a great experience at Devmountain.

If your looking for a career change, You need to enroll in DevMountain!
I’m going to make this pretty short. In a summary, I was looking for a career change in this Trying time of COVID-19. When the world is changing so rapidly, your priorities change with it. Before DevMountain, I had very minimal experience with coding at all. I’m a pretty Blue collar, old school raised kinda guy.

Working 60+ hours a week at an aluminum manufacturing plant for the last 6 years, my body and health we’re definitely starting to see a toll. Looking for a career change without going to college for years, I applied to DevMountain. Let me tell you, it’s probably the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life, but the overall experience was more than I could’ve hoped for! The staff at DevMountain are completely devoted to making sure you succeed. From the directors, instructors, mentors and everyone they truly take remote learning seriously. I now feel confident with the skills to find a full time web development job, and hopefully change my life for the better! If you’re considering changing your life and learning new skills, or just needing a change of pace for learning new code, I can’t suggest DevMountain enough!

Wonderful experience even in a remote setting
My big fear was attending a school in a remote setting going into this. While Devmountain was always primarily in person they've done a great job producing a top tier remote learning environment.
Everyone was super easy to get ahold of when needed whether it was for questions or just for venting. Never once did I feel awkward about asking any questions whether it was in class or during study time.

Everyone was super easy to get ahold of when needed whether it was for questions or just for venting. Never once did I feel awkward about asking any questions whether it was in class or during study time.
Every single person from the students to the staff were fantastic. I came away with new friends and a community that I get to be apart of forever. That to me is one of the biggest advantages Devmountain graduates have over someone who was self taught.
Going into this I essentially had 0 coding experience. I've basic tutorials but the program revealed I wasn't even scratching the surface on my own.
Devmountain blasted the door open for me and taught me how and what to learn for my studying after graduation.
I cannot enough as someone who was skeptical going in this is a way better option than doing self taught. I wouldn't have even known what to learn without the program.
Special shout out to the director of my cohort Joseph and my amazing teachers Eric, Matt, Aaron, and Scott.
Eric was my team lead for my group within my cohort and really helped make a totally online course feel human.
As far as pricing goes - Devmountain is BY FAR one of the more affordable programs. Not once did I feel like there was anything significantly lacking. If you're looking at one of those 13 week programs that cost 20k or more take a close look at Devmountain. You'll save money and learn the same stuff.

Good Bootcamp for a Great Price
Disclaimer: I attended DevMountain in 2020 during the pandemic so everything was remote and I never went to a campus once. I actually live a few states away so all communications were done through Discord, Slack, GoToMeeting, Zoom, etc.
Going into the experience, I had a lot of fears. I was afraid that I wouldn't learn enough considering that this was a completely new field for me. I was worried that I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking up in the remote environment.

I actually live a few states away so all communications were done through Discord, Slack, GoToMeeting, Zoom, etc.
Going into the experience, I had a lot of fears. I was afraid that I wouldn't learn enough considering that this was a completely new field for me. I was worried that I wouldn't feel comfortable speaking up in the remote environment. I was worried that there would be endless homework and that it wouldn't benefit my growth in the end. I'm happy to say with confidence that I learned more than I thought I ever could in a short time period, the environment was a safe space where I felt comfortable speaking up, and the work directly related to what needed to be learned. I'm glad that I finally took the leap and pursued UX.
Pros:
- The UX instructors are invested in the success of the students and show that they care deeply.
- The cost is lower than that of competing bootcamps.
- Gain access to (and become part of) the DevMountain network.
Cons:
- Communication was poor prior to the first day of class.
- Events would occasionally be scheduled at the same time - staff still adjusting to the remote environment.
- Outcomes (the team that assists with job acquisition post graduation) means well but the advice is fairly generic, seems more geared toward developers, and is usually location specific; they don't have much information for those living different areas of the country.

IF you really want to change your life and career, then Devmountain can't be beat. They are constantly looking to improve. I did the online remote course. Pro's... the daily lectures are recorded and available to download or viewing later if you need to review anything. There are daily surveys about ways they can improve. I can attest that they do look at those and evaluate what needs to be changed and improved upon. I know this as I watched how they changed the pre-course work to be even more effective and allow for a better experience once started into the normal curriculum.
Being a recent graduate. I can't believe the level of support they offer alumni. Instructor and other alumni or even Guest Instructors will take the time to help you on your app, answer questions, review code, do mock interviews, etc.. Alumni still have access to all their material if needed to go back and review anything you feel you need a review of. Job placement has a whole department dedicated to help find jobs to apply for, foster employment opportunities for employers seeking employees to review and interview graduates. You have periodic checkins to review your resume, LinkedIn and anything else that will help you land a job. However, don't think that once you graduate you are going to have companies lining up to offer you a job. The amount and type of jobs will only become available through the effort you put into find that dream job.
I can't say enough good about this program. Its really more than the curriculum. Its the whole experience.
As far as financing goes. I really hate this mentality of getting something for nothing. There are schools which offer "Free" until you get a job. Most aren't worth the words pixels their words are displayed on. Something of value is of value, because you paid for it. Most bootcamps can't get accredited so, federal financial aide isn't available. But there are other alternatives. I partially personally financed mine, and borrowed the rest from a recommended lender from Devmountain. The lender was https://skills.fund. They have been amazing to work with. I do have to payback regardless of the type of job I get post graduation, but I have invested in MY future, and if I am not working a job that I went to school in, then that is my fault for not putting in the effort to get one. I will gladly find intern - temp work to pay bills and my loan back as I pursue my dream. I am the only one who stands in the way of my dreams coming to fruition or not. - Tatum McDanielStudent • Software QA Testing Full-Time • OnlineOct 19, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Real Growth
I truly loved my time at Devmountain. My skill set grew measuareably over the course of the bootcamp at a ridiculous rate. More than that however, I have changed as a student. I feel empowered to continue learning on my own-- no longer limited to what courses I can afford or fit in to my schedule. My cohort was entirely remote due to COVID-19, but the enthusiasm of the faculty and staff at Devmountain still shone through. I love Devmountain! - J.

Beyond my expectations
I placed a big bet on Devmountain considering I, as the sole breadwinner in my family of four, stopped working for thirteen weeks to become a developer. Although I had heard about Devmountain for years I still researched multiple other schools and camps. There are so many choices available right now (a great problem to have) but as I reached out to people I actually knew who were working in software and web development, most of them had gone through Devmountain so I pulled the trigger (k...I placed a big bet on Devmountain considering I, as the sole breadwinner in my family of four, stopped working for thirteen weeks to become a developer. Although I had heard about Devmountain for years I still researched multiple other schools and camps. There are so many choices available right now (a great problem to have) but as I reached out to people I actually knew who were working in software and web development, most of them had gone through Devmountain so I pulled the trigger (keep in mind, I lived and and worked in the Lehi/Provo, Utah area at the time which is where Devmountain started and could explain why so many people in my network had gone through it).
Since I was looking to enroll a few months after COVID really became a global concern the tuition was heavily discounted and what used to be an in-person program was being offered in a remote context. I couldn't ignore the value and accessibility Devmountain was offering so decided it was time to make the plunge--and I'm so glad I did.
From the beginning I got a sense that Devmountain, which had been around for a while at that point, was pushing to innovate and improve their program. Their student experience and outcomes departments especially were two services I hadn't fully considered when shopping for bootcamps and they delivered beyond my expectations. The outcomes department has been revamped within the past year and provides a huge network of past grads, recruiter networking, mentoring opportunities, career prep resources, as well as job search and interview training. The student experience department reached out consistently throughout my thirteen weeks, just checking in to make sure I was doing well and to be a third party I could talk to beyond the instructional/mentor staff. My student experience manager even responded to some messages I sent her while she was out of office traveling to a family wedding and a I was having a particularly overwhelming day.
The Devmountain staff pushed us as a group yet allowed for us to learn as individuals at our own pace while making themselves available as resources at every point.
I can't express enough how much I felt like they more than delivered on the their promises. I couldn't have made this change at this point in my life without my experience at Devmountain (or at least made this change as confidently).
There were a few things that could have been better. I had fairly consistent problems accessing lecture recordings for review. That mostly had to do with the platform we were using (GoToMeeting) and the growing pains of switching an in-person learning experience to a remote one. For the most part I was able to work around those hiccups though and access recordings of the same content from other cohorts who were behind and ahead of me.
Devmountain has been a game changer in my life and career. I'm so excited for what I've learned there and I feel like I have the tools to push myself and keep progressing on my own. I can't recommend Devmountain enough.
Something to consider: The Devmountain instructional experience is heavily dependent on the instructor. I got to try a few "samples" of different instructors by checking out past lecture recordings and on days where another cohort's instructor subbed for our instructor. Luckily the curriculum was uniform but I definitely found that, at least for me, the instructor was the biggest factor on the quality of my learning beyond just my own practice and self-guided study. I never had an experience with a bad instructor during my time, but definitely felt like having a bad or less competent instructor could have easily ruined my experience. Again, from what I can tell, Devmountain is aware of this and seems to provide the best instructors they can find. No complaints, just something to consider when making your choice. - Payton CheneyGraphic Designer • Graduate • OnlineSep 11, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
UX Design After Hours
I loved this class! It was perfectly paced, so I felt like I was learning a lot but wasn't overwhelmed. The instructors did a great job of lecturing and making sure I understood. I had a great experience, and had a lot of fun! I learned that I enjoy this kind of work. Communicating with instructors was fast and simple. Everything was very organized and overall a fantastic course! I would recommend this course to anyone who is interested in UX Design.
