Devmountain is a coding bootcamp that offers short, full-time in-person and online programs in Web Development, Software Quality Assurance (QA), Cybersecurity, and User Experience (UX) Design. The programs are designed to prepare students for entry-level positions in the tech industry. There is a Devmountain campus in Lehi, Utah for those who want to participate in-person. Devmountain's immersive courses require 40 hours of class per week, and 10-20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The part-time programs require 11 hours of class per week, and 10-20 hours of work outside of the classroom. The school was started in 2013 in Provo, Utah.
The Web Development track covers front-end and back-end engineering (JavaScript, HTML/CSS, AJAX, Axios, React, Bootstrap, Node.js, Express, and PostgreSQL). The User Experience course covers prototyping, visual/motion design, Figma, UX research, and wireframing. Devmountain instructors are all coding industry professionals and aim to bring real-world applications into the classroom.
Devmountain is beginner-friendly and no experience is necessary to apply. The first step to applying for Devmountain bootcamp is to check out the courses and start dates.

I love Devmountain. The staff are friendly and want you to succeed. But the responsibility is on you to get the education and put in the work (as with any coding bootcamp). They provide good resources for you to learn and the outcomes department helps with getting prepared for finding employment. I've enjoyed my time at Devmountain and would recommend it to anyone wanting to go to a bootcamp for coding.- Gio.

You get what you pay for.
I would like to preface with the end of my cohorts experience moved to online due to the covid-19 quarantine.
I already had a good amount of front-end knowledge so learning back-end and how it works using Node was a big help in understanding the whole ecosystem.

I already had a good amount of front-end knowledge so learning back-end and how it works using Node was a big help in understanding the whole ecosystem.
The beginning of the course was more of a recap of basic fundamentals of front-end programming. The basic HTML/CSS and JavaScript was a nice refresher and I felt like it really cemented things I already knew or things I had questions about.
The more advanced parts such as React/Redux were a nice addition to my tool belt and I'm glad I had instructors to walk through examples.
The main reason I came to the school was to dip my toes into back-end development. We used Node connected to a Heroku database. We also learned authentication using bcrypt and sessions. For the database, the architecture was made by us (the students) using Postgres. Critical thinking and planning was very important in this state of creating tables and cells.
Lastly we spent a day on testing modules for react and a day for job search prep and resume building.
By the last month we were asked to move from in person to remote and out of the 5 instructors/mentors that we started with, only 1 stayed the duration of my cohort.
PROs:- I had accountable for all of my work.
- The COVID-19 pandemic was handled very professionally. For each cohort there were special circumstances for partial or full refunds. Along with some refund when moving out of provided housing with a refund of a set amount.
- Planning was very important in the project. Learning how to plan pieces and layout the plan was a skill I didn't know I even needed.
- I feel as though the knowledge they were teaching was very marketable and could be used to branch out to other technologies I would be curious about using or implementing.
- They also provided housing in downtown Dallas with all things needed to cook and a comfortable living space.
CONs:- The knowledge checks and certification process needs to be more strict to make sure that students are retaining knowledge. Simple things like going line by line in random sections of exercises or projects would highlight students that need additions attention or are not ready to be certified.
- I felt as though the instructors/mentors were checkout because they had jobs lines up and were ready to leave by the time we got there.
- The main knowledge the instructors/mentors provided was mainly aligned with the curriculum or they were fresh graduates from the boot camp with no other experience.
- Final/Group Project: There was a very real chance of having partners with little to no skills to contribute to the project. It was obvious that these partners took credit even though they did not help.
- School is putting values on arbitrary milestones that had nothing to do with skill or knowledge for badge requirements, which is an extra certification step to show additional skills and readiness.

A Great Experience!
I really had a great time with DevMountain. I had studied on my own for about 3 months prior to attending the school and everything I had studied on my own we went over in the first 2 weeks. It is extremely fast paced but also very powerful. If you need structure to learn and someone to be accountable to this is the course for you. It truly helps you to learn what is important, to be able to ask questions to a live person and get the help you need.

If you need structure to learn and someone to be accountable to this is the course for you. It truly helps you to learn what is important, to be able to ask questions to a live person and get the help you need. Skill checks along the way to help you identify what you don't know, when you think you do, in order to help you focus on your own personal growth. I can't say enough good about this program and how it has helped me feel more confident, acquire the skills I need and pushed me to challenge myself to grow beyond my own expectations. - DanielioT-Project Manager • Graduate • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • PhoenixApr 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Web Development Immersive Course
Ladies and Gentlemen, with all honesty I can say that the DevMountain WebDev Bootcamp in Phoenix has been the best, but also most intense challenge I have encountered in the past years. It has been a real challenge constantly learning new content and coding for more than 10hrs each day, but I have definitively learned more in these three months than in almost two semesters at University for my Master' s Degree. DevMountain is a MUST go to school if you want to become a FullStack WebDev. ...Ladies and Gentlemen, with all honesty I can say that the DevMountain WebDev Bootcamp in Phoenix has been the best, but also most intense challenge I have encountered in the past years.

Despite the challenge it was such an incredible hell load of fun and I am so grateful to all the awesome, friendly, laughing and helpful instructors, mentors and staff. If you're not going to DevMountain you're doing something wrong. - Traci CrawfordGraduate • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • DallasApr 13, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

No regrets.
Devmountain not only provides a superb curriculum, but also amazing accommodations, a homey and welcoming atmosphere, and staff that legitimately care about the success of each student. Knowing what I know now, I will never consider going to college or university while Devmountain is an option. No regrets whatsoever. - Johnny PriceQuality Assurance Analyst • Graduate • UX Design Full-Time • LehiApr 07, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
DevMountain Review
Hugely educational, great hands-on learning experience. The pros were being in an environment of learning and support. Everyone was learning the same thing and willing to help out. It had a great energy. The instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. The cons are that I was not 100% prepared to enter the job market. Many employers cited lack of experience when turning down my application. I would have liked to have another project or two during my time at DevMountain. - Helen BrennanSoftware QA Consultant • Graduate • Software QA Testing Full-Time • LehiApr 03, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Best money I've spent in awhile
I would highly recommend completing any of the programs at Devmountain. I graduated from the QA course in September 2019 and, due to the contacts I'd made during my program, I was hired immediately as a full time QA consultant.
The skills learned are enough to give you a solid foundation to start your QA career and the post grad services they provide (job fairs, assistance with resumes, etc) are invaluable! - SteveApplication Developer at Allstate • Web Development In-Person, Full-Time • PhoenixApr 02, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

DevMountain Did Not Disappoint
I attended the web development immersive course at DevMountain at the Dallas, TX campus. The staff were all incredible. The campus was great. The lectures and projects were very helpful. The skills check tests weren't the best and I feel made a lot of us feel unnecessarily really badly about ourselves, myself included. I haven't landed a job just yet, but I feel positive I'll successfully be able to do that with the help of the Outcomes department. - Tyson EricksenGraduate • iOS Development Remote, Full-Time • LehiFeb 14, 2020Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
IOS Bootcamp
The DevMountain IOS bootcamp was a challenging experience. For the financial cost and time spent, I don't feel that this was right path for me. There are better layouts, curriculum, and instruction elsewhere for far cheaper and a better use of your time. The saving grace of this program are the mentors/instructors.

Hard, but great experience
This was such an intense program, but it was great! I feel like their teaching style of just throwing you into what you'll be doing is one of the best ways of learning. At times I felt like I had no clue what I was trying to do, but the mentors are good at giving just enough feedback to get you on your feet.

I do wish that they had given us more instruction on how to write case studies. After finishing I feel quite overwhelmed with figuring out how to write good case studies that will help in my job hunting experience. I know it's not their responsibility to build our portfolios and get us jobs, but I would have happily stayed one week longer in class to spend that time building my case studies with the help of the instructors. At least then I would know what the heck hiring managers are looking for.
But in all honesty, that is my only complaint of this program. The mentors are great, the environment is fantastic, and I am so glad I chose DevMountain to get my UX Design knowledge.
