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 moved to Portland four years ago with the intention of moving into the Tech Industry. I have always been interested in Computer Networking and Mobile Technology so I took a job with Sprint Wireless which I did enjoy.

I moved to Portland four years ago with the intention of moving into the Tech Industry. I have always been interested in Computer Networking and Mobile Technology so I took a job with Sprint Wireless which I did enjoy. After working in the Mobile industry for a couple of years I wanted to move more into the engineering side of things so I started looking into schooling and Networking Certification. That’s when I came across the Tech Academy Website and submitted for more information. Software development had always intrigued me but I thought it was only for computer science majors.
I had a few email communications with the Academy and set an appointment to meet Erik and tour the facility. On the day I came in I was still thinking networking would be my career of choice. When I met Erik his passion for software came across right away and I was impressed. I then toured the facility and got a really good feeling for The Tech Academy’s vision and goals for their students. Having an understanding of where jobs of the future are going and not wanting to spend two more years in college the Tech Academy became a top consideration.
With the decision made to come to the Academy after another good meeting with Erik and passing the prerequisites I began my basic training for software development. Not having previous coding experience made the experience a little daunting at the beginning but with a great course curriculum and great instructors I was able to get myself rolling through the program. I enjoyed coming to the downtown campus daily and found the Instructors and entire staff very helpful and accommodating.
After a few months on the program I was given the opportunity to become an instructor with the Academy which I accepted happily. I know the best way to learn something is to teach it and I really enjoy being around other students so It was great to become part of the Tech Academy team. This is also a great way to give back for the opportunities I am thankful for. Learning to be a software developer is not easy and does take a lot of work but if you stay focused and work hard you will be successful. The Tech Academy genuinely cares and wants to have successful graduates and is a great place to learn coding. I want to thank everyone at the Academy for the passion and guidance that has got me through the program. You are all awesome!
