A lot has changed since bootcamps launched in 2012: University Bootcamps are now competing with household bootcamp names, payment options like Income Share Agreements and Deferred Tuition have exploded in recent years, and many bootcamps are dipping into the corporate training market.However, the number of students with degrees appears to be declining slightly over time. The average bootcamper has 7 years of work experience, has at least a Bachelor's degree, and has never worked as a programmer.Coding bootcamps are predicted to graduate 25,000 students and gross $350MM in tuition revenue in 2020.

There are bootcamp campuses in over 85 cities throughout the US/Canada, although many bootcamps moved online in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.Most bootcamps help graduates find an internship or match students with an employer network – in fact, in Course Report's most recent research, 79% of bootcamp alumni report being employed in programming jobs. Students graduate from bootcamps with a portfolio, an online presence, interview skills and more.


The average bootcamp costs ~$14,000, and graduates report an average starting salary of $69,000.
