The Tech Academy is a trade school headquartered in Portland, Oregon that offers full-time and part-time bootcamps online and in-person at their Portland campus.The Tech Academy offers bootcamps in computer programming, website development, cybersecurity, game development, mobile development, data science, and front-end development. The immersive experience aims to create well-rounded technology professionals, and also gives students the option to take the course at their own pace. There are also no set starts dates or rigid scheduling. Students can enroll at any time, study from home, and choose whatever study schedule they would like.
The Tech Academy’s bootcamps cover topics including computer science fundamentals, programming basics, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, SQL, C#, Python, Bootstrap, jQuery, React.js, project management, Agile, Scrum, MVC, version control, Java, and more. Each bootcamp also includes a Live Project, where students gain real-life experience to add to their resume as well as job placement assistance.
None of The Tech Academy's bootcamps require any tech background or experience. To apply, applicants need to take an IQ test with logic-based questions (to ensure applicants can read, write and perform basic math), followed by an admissions interview.
The final part of every The Tech Academy bootcamp is the Job Placement Course which covers interviewing skills, resume writing, where to find tech jobs, and gives students access to job placement staff who assist students in landing technical positions.

The Tech Academy was the only school offering more courses at a lower cost and a student can study from a remote environment, which was the best method for me versus traditional in-classroom study.

I enrolled at The Tech Academy after researching many, many schools. The Tech Academy was the only school offering more courses at a lower cost and a student can study from a remote environment, which was the best method for me versus traditional in-classroom study. The instructors provided great feedback and were tremendous resources that didn't give you answers to problems but pushed you in the right direction to become a better problem solver. I never once felt alone even when working remotely. The school also was really supportive when I discussed what my goals were and what I wanted to do in tech that they allowed me to study courses that would help in that direction. The curriculum does give you a very base level knowledge of each language, but if you want to work in tech, you have to continue your education no matter what. There is always something new to learn and build on for the rest of your career. I had trouble in my job search only because I lived in such a saturated tech city; however, with the support of the job placement coordinators, I found opportunities with jobs looking for remote workers and snagged interviews. I now work with a company that liked me so much, they created a position for me that can build on my skills that I learned at the school and are also open to my feedback and ideas for improvements that I've never experienced before.
