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.
I was looking for a career change that wouldn't require a four year degree. I already knew someone who had attended Tech Academy and done really well for themselves afterwards and decided to look more into it. Everyone I talked to was a great resource and helped me with deciding if Tech Academy and coding would be a good fit for me. I ended up taking the leap and enrolling - it was the best decision!

I was looking for a career change that wouldn't require a four year degree. I already knew someone who had attended Tech Academy and done really well for themselves afterwards and decided to look more into it. Everyone I talked to was a great resource and helped me with deciding if Tech Academy and coding would be a good fit for me. I ended up taking the leap and enrolling - it was the best decision! It was unlike anything I had ever done before, but the curriculum started out with the basics so anyone could understand and built up in a way that made sense. I enjoyed the flexibility as you work at your own pace and your own schedule. Having two children, it was great to be able to adjust my days on campus for when there was a day off school or sick day. I could also work from home since all the course are available online. The instructors at Tech Academy are all very accessible and knowledgeable, they've even gone through the program themselves so they know what you are working on. They even have a job placement course that teaches you all you need to know about applying, interviewing, and technical testing to get a job. It was so different and more intense that I can experienced in my previous job searches. The job placement team is amazing at backing you up, giving advice, and just general support. They really want you to succeed!
Overall, coding boot camp from The Tech Academy is wonderful, thorough, and I am so glad I made the leap into the software development field. I just got my first job and can't wait to begin using my new education and skills to build a career!
