Is This For Me?

Who Is This Bootcamp For?

Our Web Programming Bootcamp is open to everyone — no prior experience required. Whether you're starting from scratch, changing careers, or adding new skills, this bootcamp is built for you.

🌱
Complete Beginners

Zero coding experience? Perfect. We start from the very basics.

🔄
Career Changers

Break into tech and web development from any industry.

💼
Professionals Upskilling

Combine coding skills with your existing industry experience.

🎓
School Leavers

Grade 12 graduates ready to start building real web development skills.

🚀
Aspiring Developers

Ready to build real projects and launch your dev career.

💡 Full-Time or Part-Time — This Bootcamp Works for Both

At 3 months full-time, this bootcamp is achievable for everyone — whether you're a career changer, a working professional, or starting fresh. It is also achievable part-time in approximately 6 months — making it one of the few intensive bootcamps that is genuinely manageable alongside employment.

⏱️ Full-Time (3 months)
  • › Career changers available full-time
  • › Professionals between jobs
  • › Those on a career break or sabbatical
  • › Anyone who can dedicate their days to learning
🔄 Part-Time (~6 months)
  • › Career changers studying while employed
  • › Professionals upskilling alongside work
  • › Anyone who needs a flexible pace
  • › Parents or people with daytime commitments

Part-time rule of thumb: Any full-time duration can be approximately doubled for part-time study. This 3-month full-time bootcamp becomes roughly 6 months when studied part-time — a manageable commitment for most working professionals.

If you want a longer, more comprehensive program, consider the Java & AI Software Engineering Bootcamp (10–12 months full-time) for a deeper, end-to-end journey into enterprise development.

🎓
Matric graduate or school-leaver?

The Java & AI Software Engineering Bootcamp is designed specifically for you — a 10–12 month programme that takes you from zero to job-ready enterprise developer. No experience required, and Compuways helps place graduates at employers like FNB, Standard Bank, Absa, and BMW.
