Tech Elevator offers both full-time and part-time coding bootcamps that prepare students for a career as a software developer, starting with an Aptitude Test. Throughout the bootcamp, students learn Java, HTML, CSS, SQL, API, and JavaScript. The full-time bootcamp runs for 14 weeks, Monday through Friday, 9-4:30 pm, and the part-time bootcamp runs for 30-weeks with a mix of independent study, live lectures and small-group programming. Both programs have a low student-to-instructor ratio to ensure the best supportive environment for participants. Tech Elevator’s instruction is delivered in-person at campuses located in Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus and Pittsburgh. Tech Elevator offers students beyond its core markets, and throughout the U.S., class options through its National Live Remote program.
Tech Elevator’s career-readiness Pathway Program is responsible for high placement outcomes and includes personalized coaching sessions, interview practice, 12 months of placement support post-graduation, and alumni and mentor networking. Tech Elevator also offers its students and alumni direct connections to employers through employer showcases and interviewing events.
TL/DR: The best decision of my life. The instructors are phenomenal and you’re surrounded by talented, smart individuals that promote a fantastic learning environment. I initially wasn’t sold on it all myself, but after speaking with past graduates about their success after graduation I knew this was a solid career decision. If you’re willing to put in the time and effort and adhere to their learning curriculum you’ll be a successful student at Tech Elevator.

In-Depth Review
Short Personal Background : Again, as much as I hate clichés, Tech Elevator truly did change my life. I’ll provide you with a bit of context on my background and situation before Tech Elevator. I graduated college in 2015 with a degree in engineering and out of college the job outlook for my industry plummeted due to economic reasons that I won’t go in details about. The point is I was out of a job and I had college payments approaching quickly. For the next two years I worked odd jobs all over Ohio and Pennsylvania trying to find a position that would stick. From working in retail, to working in a steel mill, and countless application rejections, I eventually realized I had absolutely no idea what I wanted or where I was going with my career. It was a difficult truth to accept, but one I had to face. I spent the next several months reevaluating my passions and, after having a talk with my brother (a programmer), I was convinced that I should have been in the field of technology all along. He mentioned that his company had hired from Tech Elevator and I decided to attend an open house to get a feel for it all. After listening to Anthony and David passionately speak about their company I decided to take the next steps and enroll as a student.
The Course: It was by far the most intense 4 months of my academic career. From day one you’re diving straight into code and learning fundamentals. From that point on you are continually building off that foundation with daily exercises and quizzes. Lectures last about 4 hours depending on the amount of material you’ll be covering that day. After that the afternoon is yours to do as you please… but I recommend working on your exercises while the ideas are fresh in your mind. At the end of each module you have a large project, or capstone, that is a culmination of everything you’ve learned up to that point. You’ll be paired up with random classmates and have a couple days to complete the project and present your work in front of the instructor(s). This was an incredibly beneficial step in the learning process since they break down your code and offer a ton of useful feedback to write cleaner, more efficient code. I absolutely loved every day of class – Oh, I think I used another cliché. Finally, for the final two weeks of the cohort you’ll create an entire application from start to finish.
Job Assistance | Pathway Program : The Pathway program is great. At college, I didn’t have a program in place to prepare me for interviews and networking the way Tech Elevator did… and that’s huge. Tech Elevator is constantly inviting and hosting a variety of employees of reputable tech companies in the area. You’ll also have mock interviews, both behavioral and technical, all preparing you for the Match-making event. By the time the real interviews roll around you’ll be prepared… and, if you’re not prepared, the staff at Tech Elevator will always take time out of their schedule to help you practice.
Advice : I wouldn’t stress too much about picking either Java or .NET if you’re stuck on that decision. I attended the Java cohort at Tech Elevator, and upon graduation I am now working for a company in Hudson writing C#. Tech Elevator provided me with a strong understanding of core fundamentals allowing for an easy transition into a language I didn’t study directly. Once you’ve learned your first language it’s MUCH easier picking up another.
Final Thoughts : Looking back, I’m incredibly proud of myself for completing the course at Tech Elevator. On day one I didn’t even know what a Boolean was and 14 short weeks later I was creating entire web applications. That’s a powerful testament to not only myself, but to the other students who’ve attended and the ability of the instructors. The peace of mind I now have since I’ve obtained a full-time job doing work I enjoy is… I honestly can’t thank them enough. I’m excited for what my future holds, both professionally and personally – and I owe it all to Tech Elevator.
I’m proud to be part of the growing, loving family that is Tech Elevator and I look forward towards welcoming you to our family as well.
