Engineering Bootcamp

More about the Bootcamp

Our Bootcamp is aimed at unlocking unique growth opportunities for the next generation of tech leaders. Last year we had 7 Bootcampers join our fully funded programme, all of which became full-time software engineers at Beamery.

Who is the Beamery Bootcamp for?

We are passionate about closing the diversity gap in the tech industry. In light of this, we wanted to ensure that this program is accessible for people from all backgrounds, not just those with a computer science background. We're creating a safe and inclusive working environment for everyone to have the opportunity to work in tech.

If you love to code and have a dream to pursue a career in Software Development, then this could be a great opportunity for you to get the skills you need to kick off your career as an engineer. We're not looking for professional experience, but will need to have written lines of code in any language to be eligible. (Don’t worry, as we’ll provide some helpful guidance to get you started). Most importantly we are looking for people who have soft skills, the right attitude and potential to grow with us.

In a recent survey we found that 50% of our engineers started from unconventional backgrounds into tech from either self teaching, bootcamps, or learning on the job. This proves that anyone who has enough desire, passion and determination can become an amazing engineer. And it doesn’t hurt to also have an amazing team of engineers who have been your shoes supporting you along the way

If you think this could be the right path for you, we hope that you take the time register your interest below.

The Curriculum

Curriculum Overview

In this programme you’ll gain solid foundational knowledge of key areas such as semantic, accessible HTML, CSS and Javascript, while building on these using modern software development tools and frameworks such as NodeJS, Typescript, React, NestJS, CSS pre-processors and MongoDB. You'll also collaborate using agile processes, using paired and ensemble programming and develop skills of automated testing, containerisation, deployment and cloud infrastructure.
