EVENING AND WEEKEND PROGRAM
Same curriculum, different hours.
SERVING ALL SCHEDULES
Our goal is to get as many veterans, active duty, and military spouses as possible into high-paying, fulfilling jobs as software developers. But family commitments, current jobs or studies, and other considerations can prevent some potential students from attending a full-time immersive coding bootcamp.
That’s why WE NOW OFFER AN EVENING AND WEEKEND VERSION OF OUR FULL-TIME IMMERSIVE CODING BOOTCAMP.
You’ll get the same curriculum and instruction as our other live programs, and it may be still covered by GI Bill, VET TEC and scholarships. But now you’ll only be required to attend a few nights a week and a full day on the weekend.
All veterans, active duty, and military spouses are eligible to apply. As we will only offer one cohort in the first year, expect to slots fill up quickly. APPLY NOW!
THE DETAILS
Three evenings during the week, one day on the weekend
Our tentative student schedule is Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays from 6:00 PM to 9:30 PM CST, and Saturdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM CST. Students must be available during these periods weekly for the duration of the program.
28-week long program
While the Evening and Weekend cohort lasts longer than the Full-time program you’ll complete the same number of hours of instruction as students in our immersive 14-week program. The next Evening and Weekend class, Bravo Platoon, will be conducted April 5 – October 15, 2021. Applications for this class are due January 10, 2021.
Funding options available
Based on eligibility, GI Bill® and VET TEC may be used as an option to pay for tuition. General scholarships are also available.
Full-stack developer training
Our evening and weekend students are trained in the same industry-leading curriculum as our full-time students. By teaching Python and Javascript, you will have the skills to successfully work as a junior full-stack developer starting Day 1 of your new coding job to effectively work as a junior full-stack developer.

Job preparation provided
It’s not enough to know the technical side of the job; we also train our students in optimizing their LinkedIn and resume, and how to interview for a coding job. Our Beyond Tech classes even walk through whiteboarding, where an applicant is asked to work through a coding challenge without the help of technology.
Internship and Career Services offered
Our careers services team works with each of our graduates to find full-time employment within six months of graduation. Chicago based students may have the opportunity to interview for paid internships with our employer partners. As a Code Platoon student and alumni, you will have access to our deep national network of companies who are looking for tech talent and committed to hiring from the military community.
Veterans and Military Spouses only
We don’t just specialize in offering training to military veterans and their spouses; we literally won’t train anyone else.
You’ll be learning in an environment you can be comfortable in, surrounded by people with shared military experiences and the same objective as you.
EVENING AND WEEKEND PROGRAM
Join remotely during set classroom hours from wherever you can work.
Have a regular job or other commitment keeping you attending a full-time program and learning to code during business hours? Train for a few hours on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings, and all day on Saturdays. Our Evening and Weekend Program runs one cohort per year that lasts 28 weeks. The Evening and Weekend Program is the best chance for someone who’s willing to grind it out with both the coding boot camp and everything else before they start their new coding career.
