LEARN FROM INSTRUCTORS LIVE AND ONLINE
Hackbright’s courses are being offered online, in real-time so you can begin learning Python basics from the comfort of your own home or workspace.
PREP
Our 5-week, evening-and-weekend Prep course is perfect for those who want a taste of what life as a coder is like before committing to the Software Engineering program. Prep teaches you the foundations of programming and prepares you for the bootcamp application process. It also offers plenty of flexibility, so you can continue working at your full-time job while attending.
Students who have completed Prep are eligible for a discount if enrolling in the Software Engineering program. The discount is based on the price paid for Prep.
What You’ll Learn
You’ll leave this course with a foundation in Python. Hackbright Prep will also fulfill the 37-hour coding requirement for the Software Engineering program.
The reasons for laying a strong foundation in coding before applying to the full-time or part-time Software Engineering program are twofold:
- It’s important to know you love to code before committing to doing it all day, every day.
- You’ll gain the skills you need to apply to the Software Engineering program and complete the coding challenge.
Students who have completed Prep are eligible for up to a $1,500 discount if enrolling in the Software Engineering program. The discount is based on the price paid for Prep.
