Course Overview

Coding Bootcamp is our flagship 4-month full-time or 8-month part-time career conversion course. Our full-time course runs from Monday to Friday, and our part-time course takes place on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Rocket Academy's coding bootcamp curriculum focuses on coding concepts, not languages. Throughout the program, we cover key topics in software engineering that are highly relevant to today's industry, subject to minor alterations to match the changing demands from tech talents and industry needs.

This software engineering immersive course has been highly recognised by top publications like Forbes, CNA, South China Morning Post, and Tech in Asia, and we take pride in the success stories of our many graduates.

No software engineering skills? No problem.

Coding bootcamps offer a learning experience that equips you with practical skills and real-world education at a fraction of the cost and time commitment of a traditional postgraduate program.

Whether you're making a career switch as a software developer or diving into JavaScript programming for the first time, we're here to provide comprehensive support every step of the way.

Liz
"Rocket's bootcamp was what I needed to kickstart my career as a software engineer. In addition to the technical training, what makes the course even more valuable is its focus on developing soft skills, such as working in teams, and presenting our work to people with varying technical backgrounds. A welcome surprise was the amount of guidance we received in our job hunts, even after graduation. I'm especially grateful for the mentorship and friendship of my instructors, peers and seniors, which made the journey all the more worth while."

Grace
"After working through online courses independently, I realized that having a structured support environment was critical to building technical skills. Rocket was a great place to start - providing mentorship and guidance and also extending support with the daunting job search process. Most importantly, working through a demanding learning process with peers and supportive mentors was extremely encouraging. This gave me the confidence to do a career switch into a full-fledged software engineer - a role which I've found to be challenging but massively rewarding."

Jeremy Lim
"Having graduated from bootcamp and taking up a job as a software engineer, I have full confidence in Rocket's ability to help career switchers (like myself) make the transition. The syllabus remains focused on helping bootcampers gain employment as SWEs— from the rigorous algorithms practice (a crucial part of the SWE interview process) to having a comprehensive set of portfolio projects to show employers by the time bootcamp ends. I'm super impressed by the increasing quality and complexity of the projects that bootcampers are producing, it’s truly getting more impressive with each batch!"

Jeremy Lim

Software Engineer

Kimmi Lee
"Like everyone else, I had initial doubts and worries about a ‘career-switch’, but I developed confidence through bootcamp's curriculum and advice from instructors with industry experience. I built a strong foundation and improved on learning new things fast. Building projects from ideation to deployment, both individually and as a group, was also very valuable. I have taken away much more than I expected - not only technical skills, but career advice and meaningful connections. I will definitely recommend Rocket's bootcamp to anyone who is keen in becoming a software engineer."

"Rocket Academy gave me a supportive and vibrant community of peers, staff, alumni who are really passionate about coding and invested in our collective success. Rocket’s curriculum is not only comprehensive but taught me the important skill of how to unblock myself which is fundamental for every software engineer. "

Ian Yip
"I thoroughly enjoyed the curriculum. It was a great balance of challenge and fun, and my batch mates and I were always supported throughout the learning journey. Not only did I gain relevant technical knowledge and skills, the experience also taught me how to be independent and creative in learning and problem solving."

"Rocket was a really challenging but extremely rewarding learning experience. We were immersed in the frontend, backend, and cloud technologies that gave us a solid foundation for dreaming and building a range of projects that I'm still proud of up till today. The student community is very diverse and hardworking. It's always interesting to see the projects they come up with. The Rocket staff are very committed to giving us good exposure to the industry through frequent talks and Q&A sessions. They are good teachers and gave much needed support in job preparation and job hunting."

Dominique Yeo
"Rocket's community was one of the main reasons for me to take the leap of faith to make a career switch with them instead of other bootcamp providers. The camaraderie and energy levels of my coursemates and students of the other batches really value-added to my learning and always gave me motivation to achieve more with each project, which ultimately helped me land my current job."

Edward Porter
"A great bootcamp with very intelligent software engineers as teachers! The curriculum was well paced, making learning really fun and giving enough time for concepts to sink in. At the end of it, it provided me with the confidence and necessary skills to transition into a career as a developer, and more importantly, I left with the skills to teach myself new languages and the classical CS concepts."

Dewi
"Joining Rocket's Bootcamp is one of the best learning experiences I've had. Although the journey was intense, the camaraderie of my fellow batchmates, instructors and alumni were amazing. The projects and assignments were challenging and I love that we could all do them in different levels. The Rocket network and support was really instrumental in my job search, from resume reviews (most comprehensive one I've ever had!), leetcode practice, job scrums and referrals. If you're thinking of making a career switch, definitely give Rocket's Bootcamp a shot! Life is too short to be stuck in a job you don't like."

Frequently Asked Questions

Is your Coding Bootcamp difficult, and will I definitely be able to graduate?

Our Coding Bootcamp is rigorous and can be challenging at times and thus is not for everyone. That is why, as part of our pre-requisite, we require all applicants to complete and graduate from our Coding Fundamentals course. For all eligible applicants, we also conduct a coding interview and test to ensure high-calibre students and a conducive learning environment.

I have submitted my application for Bootcamp but have not heard back, why, help!

Unfortunately, we have no plans to start new cohorts for any of our courses.

When is the latest date I can apply to Bootcamp?

Depending on the course cohort which you would like to enroll in, we advise you to submit your application at least 2 weeks BEFORE the course starts to allow us to properly process your application and address any of your enrollment questions as well.

I am looking to join a Bootcamp later in the year but I don’t see any available course dates for that period yet?

Unfortunately, we have no plans to start new cohorts for any of our courses.

Are there guaranteed job placements or company attachment after Bootcamp?

We do not offer job guarantees upon graduation. Instead, all our Bootcamp graduates will be put into an interview prep and job support program led by our founder Kai. Together with other alumni, you will work on resumes, referrals, reviewing JDs and job offers.

Be Wary of Overpromises on Outcomes: Many coding bootcamps and courses might overpromise the results they can deliver. This can include assurances of high-paying jobs immediately after completion, guaranteed employment, or an unrealistic level of expertise in a very short time. It's important for prospective students to approach these promises with caution. Researching a bootcamp's track record, reading alumni reviews, and understanding the current macro-economic conditions and employment statistics of past students can provide a clearer picture of what to expect.

How soon can I expect to find a job after Bootcamp?

More than 90% of our Coding Bootcamp graduates find a job as a junior software engineer within 6 months of graduating. How fast you find a job will largely depend on how actively you are applying, your own expectations as well as macroeconomic factors.

It’s important to see Software Development as a Continuous Learning Process. While our online coding bootcamp lays a strong foundation, mastering software development is a long-term, ongoing process. The field of technology is constantly evolving, with new languages, tools, and best practices emerging regularly. Thus, even after completing online coding bootcamps, individuals should be prepared for continuous learning and skill development in order to secure a job. This might involve self-study, contributing to open-source projects and building personal projects.
