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.
Before Tech Elevator, I was an R&D engineer at a top automobile company. Benefits and pay were outstanding, but I was slowly dying of boredom. I had some experiences in the past of writing code and those were the days that flew by for me.

Before Tech Elevator, I was an R&D engineer at a top automobile company. Benefits and pay were outstanding, but I was slowly dying of boredom. I had some experiences in the past of writing code and those were the days that flew by for me.
I knew I wanted to get into software development, but going back to major in computer science felt like overkill and would not necessarily secure me a job in the field.
After some light research, I was happy to find that Tech Elevator existed, and was in Columbus OH (a 20 minute drive for me). Once I understood the Pathways program and did the on-site open house, I knew it was the right choice. After applying and getting accepted, I was counting down the days for the cohort to start.
The first module (1 of 4) was largely review for me. Instead of just blazing through exercises, I was encouraged to help other students as we learned the ins and outs of object oriented programming. This actually proved to be very educational for me - you really only fully understand something when you can explain it to someone else.
When we hit module 2, I started to feel the stress of learning new material! At this point, I started getting help from other students and going to professors after hours.
By the time we got through the rest of the modules, I felt extremely confident in my abilities to program. I remember doing an exercise in CSS at home and my wife walked by and saw my screen and asked "Oooh, what are you ordering for Audrey?" (my daughter). I had created a styled web-site that represented a kid's toy store and it was good enough to fool her.
The culmination of the entire experience was interviewing with companies for a junior software developer role. I think a lot of people expect the hardest part of the cohort to be learning to code, but really for me it was the job search. I over-prepared my interviewing skills with extra mock interviews and lots of guided practice.
The biggest advice I can give to you: it's all about confidence. If you study hard, take all the events seriously, overprepare, educate fellow students, ask tons of questions to your professor, understand every piece of your pair projects, then your confidence will be through the roof and you will be overprepared for a junior developer role. Going into an interview with 8 people at a desk watching me whiteboard the architecture of an MVC project? No sweat! I had overflowing levels of confidence and still do, can't you tell? I knew going out of that interview I would have an offer. I got it the next day and it was my number one choice!
In summary, I am thankful to Tech Elevator for bridging my gap to be a software developer. Extra kudos to John Fulton - the best professor I have ever had.
