About OpenBootcamp

We started because the good part had gone
missing

After Covid, bootcamps went remote and stayed expensive. A lot of what people paid for turned out to be recorded video, but solitary. The collaboration, the feedback, the person looking over your shoulder and telling you why the thing you built is fragile: that quietly disappeared, and it was the part that worked.

So OpenBootcamp was built around a simpler idea. Learn by doing real work, with guidance from people who have done it themselves. Self-paced where self-paced makes sense, live where it doesn’t, at roughly one percent of what a traditional bootcamp charges.

How we teach

Four things we don’t compromise on.

  1. 01

    Learn by building

    Knowledge becomes valuable when it is applied. Projects, exercises and real problems sit at the centre of every program, with the learning designed to support the work rather than replace it.

  2. 02

    Learn at your pace

    The material is designed to move with you. Some learners progress in weeks alongside full-time work, while others take several months. Both paths are equally valid.

  3. 03

    Learn with people

    Live sessions, code reviews, critiques and guidance from mentors who continue to practise their craft. Learning is stronger when experience, perspective and feedback are part of the process.

  4. 04

    Keep learning accessible

    Cost should not determine who gets to build a new career. Our programs are priced at a fraction of a traditional bootcamp, some are entirely free, and access is free for learners aged 22 and under.

Mentors

Learn from people who do the work.

Designers, engineers and product leads who mentor alongside the jobs they already have.

Questions

Reasonable things to ask.

OpenBootcamp is an education company behind online immersive learning programs in web development, UX/UI design, AI and data science, and product management. Each is built as a practical, hands-on learning environment shaped around doing the work, not simply watching it.

Yes. We provide free access to help you experience the learning before making a commitment. Having paid for bootcamps ourselves, we believe you should be able to understand whether a program is right for you first.

Both. The curriculum begins with strong foundations for those entering the field and progresses with enough depth and pace to remain valuable for people already working in technology.

You move through the material at your own pace and meet mentors live for sessions, reviews and considered feedback on the work you are building. Our mentors are practitioners who continue to design, build and ship professionally.

We do not make guarantees we cannot control. Our focus is on developing credible skills and helping you create work that deserves a place in your portfolio. The applications, conversations and interviews remain yours to own.

Yes. We design and deliver tailored technology training for organisations, shaped around their teams, systems and priorities. You can learn more on the Enterprise page.
