Code Schools

What Are Code Schools?

Code schools are accelerated learning programs that will prepare you for a career in software development. Each school listed below ranges in length, vary in tuition costs, and in programming languages. Desirable from an employer's standpoint, code schools are founded by software developers who saw a need for more programmers and aspired to teach the next generation. We encourage you to check out the schools below, do your research, and ask fellow techies in our Slack Community.

What are MOOCs?

Massive, Open, Online Courses (or MOOCs) are course study programs made available over the internet! Typically there are start and end dates, but the work itself is done at your own pace. MOOCs are usually free, but there are certain benefits to paying for premium aspects of MOOCs.

What is VET TEC?

This innovative new pilot program pairs eligible Veterans with market-leading Training Providers offering the high-tech training and skills development sought by employers. You will have your classes and training paid for by VA and will receive a monthly housing stipend during your training. When you're accepted into the program, you'll train in one of the five areas (computer software, information science, computer programming, media application, or data processing) of high-tech training.

Please note that we update our database periodically according to the Opens in new windowofficial list of VET TEC Providers, but we may display incorrect information in regards to VET TEC-approved programs.
