The Technical Skills You'll Gain
CodeOp’s Full Stack Development Bootcamp equips women+ with no technical background to build full stack applications — giving you the skills to understand, create, and contribute to tech-driven solutions.
Mandatory Precourse Work
To ensure you’re fully prepared to hit the ground running, all admitted students must complete mandatory precourse work before starting the bootcamp. This self-paced preparation covers essential topics like HTML & CSS, JavaScript basics, SQL for data querying, Git, and foundational concepts crucial for your success.
You’ll receive access to the materials after admission, along with clear instructions for submission. Proof of completion is required before the bootcamp begins — this ensures that everyone enters the program with the knowledge they need to thrive.
We recommend dedicating sufficient time to these materials to build confidence in your skills and maximize your learning experience.
