For full information on all the courses available at Ironhack Miami, first head over to their website, where you will be able to access full curriculum details for each bootcamp. Once you have decided on the program that’s best for you, simply complete the online application form to start the admissions process.
There are no prerequisites to attend any of the Ironhack bootcamps beyond a passion for the subject matter being taught. Webinars are available for those who are unsure whether a bootcamp is suitable for them, and can be useful in making an informed choice.
Once the admissions team receives your application, you will be contacted in order to schedule an interview, so that staff can get a better idea of any prior knowledge you have, and your aims and career goals. This is also an ideal opportunity to ask any questions you might have on, for example, the curriculum of your chosen program, or the teaching methods employed. The interview usually lasts for about 30 minutes and is conducted either via video call or in-person and its fundamental aim is to ensure that an Ironhack bootcamp is the right choice for you.
Finally, there will be a technical test, to ensure that the intensive nature of the bootcamp is suited to you. This timed test is completed online, and takes about an hour; it’s designed to test potential students’ logic and analytical capabilities, and a score is awarded upon completion. No preparation or pre-work is required for this test.
If a prospective learner’s score is acceptable, and they have passed the interview stage of the process also, then they will be sent an acceptance letter and a student agreement form to sign, and they will be able at this point to reserve a place on their chosen boot camp, and pay the necessary deposit.
If you are successful in your application, there is a mandatory course of pre-work that needs to be completed before the commencement of the selected Bootcamp. This pre-work is made up of about 100 hours of study and should be completed the week before the main program begins; it’s designed to ensure that all learners come to the course with a similar level of base knowledge. Details of the pre-work package that applies to each course can be found on the Ironhack website.
New learners are encouraged to apply for a boot camp at least a month before the start of the program in order to have time to complete the admission process and any mandatory paperwork.
All students will need access to their own computer that ideally has at least 8GB of RAM and is no older than 5 years.
