Become an iOS Developer in 15 Weeks

This program starts on September 2, 2024 and completes on November 12, 2024 with live sessions twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, 7:30pm – 8:30pm ET.

No. These programs are cohort-based, meaning everyone starts and finishes on the same schedule, so all students must start the bootcamp on the planned start date. If the schedule doesn't work for you, consider our On-Demand Certificate Programs.

Students should allocate 20-25 hours per week to bootcamp activities, including attending live-sessions, studying content, completing assignments and working on the Capstone App. Content is introduced in the first live-session of the week and should be learned before the second live-session of the week. Homework assignments are given during the second live-session of the week and should be completed over the weekend.

While some exposure to coding could be beneficial, it isn't necessary — this bootcamp is for complete beginners.

You'll need a fairly modern Mac computer that is capable of running macOS Sonoma (or later) and Xcode 15.

You'll also need an internet connection capable of  joining video meetings and streaming or downloading video content. If you'll be traveling during the bootcamp, please consider internet connection issues.

Interview or job preparation is not a part of this bootcamp curriculum. However, students can ask their mentors, who have been through hiring processes many times, for interview and job-hunting advice. Many of our mentors have even been in the position of hiring new employees before, so they are well-suited to help you navigate and stand out in the challenging world of technical interviews.

Each week of the bootcamp, you'll be given two assignments: 

1. A Content Assignment, which assigns you modules or courses (or parts of them) that you need to read and watch to learn that week’s topic. 
2. A Homework Assignment, which gives you a challenge that will let you apply your learnings and demonstrate mastery of them.
3. A Capstone Project or checkpoints towards it to check your progress.

Assignments have a rubric to guide you so you know what you need to build for a passing grade. You should expect to spend between 5 and 10 hours each week on your homework.

Our live bootcamps are structured for a uniform pace rather than individual study times like exclusive weekends or weeknights. This is to ensure a collaborative learning environment where students progress and engage with the material and each other simultaneously.

Letting students work ahead often leads to confusion and anxiety among the peers who are not working ahead. The current schedule is a strategic balance aimed at maximizing collective success.

If the assignment release schedule doesn’t work for you,  consider joining our iOS Ready On-Demand Certificate Program instead.

No, our mentors do not provide on-call video chat support. However, we provide training on how to effectively troubleshoot and get your questions answered asynchronously via text in our bootcamp chat channel. This skill will be valuable throughout your developer career.

If you you fall behind and feel you need additional assistance, you can discuss options with the bootcamp coordinator.

The live-session time is in Eastern Time (ET) and will be affected by Daylight Savings.

EST is 5 hours behind UTC from November to March, while EDT is 4 hours behind UTC from March to November.

If Daylight Savings occurs during your bootcamp, the mentors and Bootcamp Coordinator will remind students beforehand.

To earn a Certificate of Graduation, students must:

⦁ Attend at least 50% of live-sessions during the first 12 weeks.
⦁ Submit and receive at least a passing grade on all but one homework assignment.

   - We grade on a pass/fail system. Our assignment rubrics clearly designate what needs to be done to earn a passing grade.
   - Students can resubmit the first week's assignment if needed, and can resubmit one other assignment for regrading later in the bootcamp.

⦁ Submit and receive a passing grade on the final Capstone App submission.
⦁ Create and submit a short (1-2 minute) video to demo your Capstone App (the video itself is not graded).
⦁ Complete a final Student Exit Survey.

If you're not interested in a Certificate, or you realize partway through the bootcamp that you won't meet the requirements for graduation, that's okay! You're welcome to stay in the bootcamp to soak up all the feedback and guidance your mentors will offer.

If you have to withdraw from the bootcamp before it begins, you may request a refund by emailing support@kodeco.com before the course start date.

After the bootcamp begins, the bootcamp price is non-refundable. We may be able to offer partial refunds for extenuating circumstances, or move you to a future program. Please discuss your particular situation with your mentors and we’ll see what we can do.
