What's the difference between the Web Development bootcamp and the AI Software Engineering Program?
This year-long program offers a more in-depth learning experience than our shorter, intensive bootcamp. You'll have more time to absorb material, practice skills, and explore advanced topics at a manageable pace. It also integrates AI and machine learning into the web development curriculum for a comprehensive view of both fields.
Our Web Development Bootcamp, on the other hand, is designed for rapid skill acquisition in a shorter time with a more intense commitment. Both lead to similar outcomes, but if AI is your focus, this program is ideal. Need help deciding? Our admissions team is here to guide you.
Receive a call from Admissions to discuss your motivations, goals, availability, and fit for the bootcamp. It's also a chance to ask any questions.
Take an English logic test to assess your basic skills and get a feel for the concepts in your track. No preparation needed, just ensure uninterrupted time. Admissions will follow up after you pass.
Select your bootcamp funding option from our flexible payment plans. Your Admissions Manager can help if needed.
Pay your deposit to confirm your spot in the bootcamp.
Do I need my own laptop?
Nah, we got you. The 1-year program comes with a free laptop.
Will I get an official certificate after completion of the program?
Yes, Ironhack provides a private certificate that proves that the program was completed.
What are the requisites to access the bootcamp?
There are no knowledge requirements for our bootcamps. As long as you have sufficient proficiency in English, basic logical skills, enough time, and most importantly motivation, you're fit for this 1-year program. All of our programs have students from different backgrounds so if you're starting from scratch with your tech knowledge, you're not alone.
