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 began this boot camp because I felt that I needed a change in career, the current job I was in was good but it wasn't really getting me where I needed to go financially, I really wanted something that gave opportunity to excel in a field where I could really grow my professional career into something great. Going to school for many years to get a degree seemed like somewhat of an impossibilty with the logistics involved in having 3 daughters in combination with school, so the fact that the Tech Academy would be an opportunity to fast track to a specialized career path was ideal.
I was a little hesitant at first going into it because it was essentialy something very different then anything I had done before and a financial risk. After discussing the program with the School, I liked what I heard about what it entailed and how it was run. On the onset of going through the courses nearer to the start I was feeling unsure if I had made the right decision, maybe I didn't have enough passion for this or maybe I just wouldn't be able to figure it out well enough to apply it within a job. As I have progressed I've begun to feel more and more confident in my abilites and have become interested in the subject of what can be done in coding and how one goes about it. What's amazing is that this school has actually blown away my worries about if I can code or not, I know I can and I'm not even finished, (halfway through or so.)
Some things that really make it a great experience:
This is a great place for anyone who wants to jump into a career in programming!
