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 (TTA) is an excellent remote study Bootcamp. TTA has exceeded my expectations and I have learned so much.
The boot camp is focused on creating junior developers for the web and web applications industry which is a booming field. This is a "full stack" BootCamp which basically means the top programming languages for web development. If you watch all their recruitment videos then the course is pretty much what they say it is.

The boot camp is focused on creating junior developers for the web and web applications industry which is a booming field. This is a "full stack" BootCamp which basically means the top programming languages for web development. If you watch all their recruitment videos then the course is pretty much what they say it is.
I chose a "Full Stack" boot camp because I wanted a chance to get out of the semiconductor industry. Regardless of the focus on "Full Stack" you are still learning to
code and you can leverage that knowledge as you wish.
Honest Feedback:
- TTA is not very expensive compared to other programs when I was researching. I feel I got a great bargain.
- TTA admissions: They “know” they are offering you a real “bargain” for an excellent Software Development BootCamp. You just don’t know it yet.
- The school is legit. It is not a fake. It has a brick and mortar building for their local students.
- The remote study program is “solid,” very easy to follow, and you really do learn. I can’t imagine it being any better.
- TTA has a great start with "Computer Basics" which eases you into the program. I really loved how they start you out with a solid foundation.
- The course does increase in challenge as you go; however, it’s well-balanced and builds on prior learning. For example, after finishing a challenging project for a course,
you get a breather with the new course giving normal training for a while until the next project or drill.
- It's a fun program with an enjoyable positive environment even for me as a remote student.
- They have lots of communication such as a daily newsletter, etc.
- You do learn what they teach if you commit to study.
- The founders of the school & instructors are really smart and have a great attitude for sharing their knowledge.
- I have never submitted buggy code, or asked a question that I was not able to get a correct answer from an instructor.
- If you submit buggy code for help, the instructors will give you hints such as "umm... better check if you declared your vars as integers."
Rather than just outright answering it for you. And if you continue to have trouble, the amount of help will also increase as you work on a problem.
- You will learn how to create some professional looking websites and learn to make them public and accessible by securing domains and server access.
- Finishing a project or drill really makes you feel proud and increases your confidence.
- They teach you how to leverage the internet for learning. This is a big advantage.
- Learning and using GitHub/Version Control really makes you feel like a pro.
- The study platform (learning management system) is web based, easy to follow and it keeps track of your progress.
- Some of the projects are challenging; however, you really do get all the skills for a particular project, you just need to apply them. Instructors are really helpful if you get stuck.
- You have to submit a daily report for each day you study for any amount of time. They will send you a friendly reminder if you stop regular communication.
- You have to write lots of essays but they are fun to do and you really learn a lot.
- TTA also wants you to fill out a weekly report that is mostly feedback on the school so they can improve.
- They really like feedback and will love it if you suggest an improvement.
