For Students

The education we provide is unique, valuable, and will help you become a better programmer. There’s nothing else like it in Gainesville.

Get the training you need to score a high-paying job

Today’s job market isn’t great for most professions, but programmers are the noteworthy exception, commanding very high starting salaries in positions across the US.

We help you evolve from a coder into a great developer

There’s a difference between knowing how to code and being able to produce the types of applications that are so highly sought in today’s market. Our training is focused on helping you become a great developer, not just someone who understands the basic lingo.

We help you get job interviews with local tech companies

We help graduates from our program in getting interviews with local tech companies. We attempt to match each student with employers based on a variety of factors ranging from skill set to office culture.

Loans available to qualifying students

If you’re serious about becoming a better developer but need financial help, there’s a financing option available that helps reduce your up-front commitment. We partner with Climb Credit Corp., a premiere lender that has helped finance more than 55,000 students over the past 15 years.

For Companies

We work with companies to build programs that either complement existing internal training, or offload 100% of the training to us.

Focus on what matters

Technical training is easy to identify as a core organizational need, but difficult to implement without pulling key staff off of important projects. By putting your training in the hands of local experts, your staff can stay focused on what they do best.

Testing that matches your needs

Our experts will work with your company to understand your needs, and to ensure that the examinations we provide to your employees match the expectations your organization has of employee competence.

We work on your schedule

Whether your employees are available for rigorous full-time training or the occasional evening course, we will time our classes around the schedule that works best for your company.

Guided learning for each individual

Our educational environment teaches important best practices while also orienting programmers and engineers to become self-sufficient in honing their skills in the future. We mix classroom-style learning with one-on-one coaching, group projects, and more. When a student needs extra attention, we give it to them.

Detailed per-student assessments

At the end of each class, we provide a detailed assessment of each student’s strengths and weaknesses, ranging from creativity to work ethic to specific areas of technical competence or expertise.
