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.
This was definitely one of the most interesting times of my life. The application process for the school was pretty seamless and easy to get started.

This was definitely one of the most interesting times of my life. The application process for the school was pretty seamless and easy to get started. However, I do feel as though I was pushed to sign up faster for the "discounted tuition". It was available every month subsequent. I did not enjoy that pressure. When the course work began for me, I was informed that they would be making changes and updating information as I went along. Going through the program and the courses I set a weekly study minimum and a deadline to finish the program. While completing projects, it was a little difficult to get an immediate response to a problem unless I called in ahead and said that I would be emailing the instructors about my issue. They were extremely helpful when they responded though. They were reassuring and also honest on whether they could help or not. The school definitely instills the need to research before asking any questions. The learning portion has been fantastic for me, honestly. An issue I did have was the student daily newsletters. Whenever a student completed a course, other students were notified. I was never included in any of the emails for completing courses. Upon completion of the live project, the job placement course, is next. I do not agree with how this is set up. As someone who had to borrow money to attend the school, I had a deadline and I need to submit proof of completion. Unfortunately due to having to apply to numerous jobs OR landing a job first, I still have yet to officially graduate. Luckily, I landed a job that I am excited to start. Frustrating none the less. I feel as though the help of finding jobs and tips should still be available(and it is) even if the student doesn't apply to the required number of jobs. Some students just attend to learn and move on to other things and so it sets a feeling of entrapment. This is my personal opinion. The staff is still friendly and helpful! Thats where I give the most props and kudos to the school. EVERYONE wants to help! And if they can't they will find you someone who can!
