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. Once the student has picked a course, they must submit an online application. Next, students speak with a member of the admissions team by phone to further discuss the program. After the phone call, students must complete a challenge to ensure the program is a good fit. Finally, the admissions team will notify students if they qualify for acceptance.

    Great Experience!

    I wanted to jumpstart a new career in programming, had started with self-study, etc, but wanted the direction and structure that DevMountain promised to provide. It turned out to be exactly what I needed and expected. 

    I had previous programming experience, but nothing recent or relevant to what I wanted to do. I found the curriculum at the time to be just challenging enough, well-paced and useful. I also appreciated the fact that as I watched DevMountain over the next year I saw...

    From zero to hero

    DevMountain proved to be a very illuminating and insightful experience. Prior to taking their WebDevelopment course I'd only designed very rudimentary web pages, using only HTML and a limited amount of CSS and Javascript. I'd tried teaching myself all the basics but without direction, It had proved to be very difficult. DevMountain was the perfect solution. They don't utilize the old fashion teaching method of throwing words at you until your brain shuts down, they teach for a small portio...

    You get out what you put in!

    DevMountain provides an environment with the solid resources and accessible tools you can use to become a developer.  I'm currently a full-time junior working on enterprise architecture for some huge global brands.  Before that I made puppets for the animation industry.  You can make a career switch, trust me. 

    Is it is easy? NO!  A resounding no.  It will probably be the hardest thing you've ever done in your life, from making the decision to attend, to actually going through t...

    Need to know how to program

    This is by no means a beginners boot camp.  The pace is very fast and if you don't catch onto one of the many concepts you will fall behind and never catch up.  I would recommend 2 years programming experience before you attend this boot camp.

    Hi,

    I'm sorry the bootcamp seemed a bit too fast paced. We've spent a lot of time refining and iterating on the curriculum, it's gone through a lot and is pretty polished at the moment.

    I'm going to have to disagree with your 2 years programming recommendation. We have at least 75–80% of incoming immersive students who have little-to-no experience programming prior to pre-course work, and with our current placement numbers hovering around 85%, I'd say we're doing a pretty good job of delivering on our mission to make an impactful, accessible experience.

    Finally, something that many students don't realize, is that we offer multiple opportunities to "catch up," if you're struggling, including repeating portions of the curriculum or taking the entire course a second time, completely free of charge. 

    If this is what you're looking for, please let me know and we'll get you into some weeks that you need to repeat that maybe went by a bit too fast.

    Please let me know, and best of luck to you. cahlan@devmtn.com

    Mind blowing awesomeness

    DevMountain was such an incredible experience for me. I, like many of you reading this, was not sure whether DevMountain was for me. I wasn't sure if I could handle the pressure, if I would still love coding in such an intense environment, and if it would even help me find a job. Luckily none of those fears became a reality for me. But they did prompt me to put in a ton of effort before even starting the course and I would highly recommend doing as much study as possible before starting th...

    Enjoyed my time!

    DevMountain is exactly what I needed to get my butt in gear!  I had been working on self-pace programming for several years, and finally decided to take the plunge.  My two cents; don't treat this as a 9 to 5 job, spend the time to learn and realize that you will be busy the entire time!  It is called an immersive cohort for a reason!  I really enjoyed my experience and would recommend to anyone who is interested!

    Worth every penny

    I'm a graduate of DevMountain from the cohort DM-9. My situation that led me to this school is similar to most. I wanted a change in my life and to make programming a full time career. I was in a situation in my life that I had a family, and Universities and Community Colleges were getting way too expensive. I couldn't afford to go to school anymore, but had a deep passion to learn how to code. DevMountain provided me all the necessary knowledge and experience I needed to jump start my car...

    A Great Choice

    I had an early midlife crisis of sorts when I realized I hated working in marketing. I became interested in learning to code, but I remembered how the entry-level computer science class I took in college beat me to a pulp, so I was hesitant at first. But since DevMountain was very close to where I lived, I figured it was worth a shot. After all, this sort of training is worth much more than a communications degree.

    I enjoyed my time at DevMountain. I learned so much, and learned ...

    Waste of money and time

    I had the same experience as the other bad reviews. The course was disorganized and the mentors that we worked with were former graduates with zero job experience and didn't know the answer to questions. Half of the class was spent working on projects with no guidance from the instructors. So you are paying for 6 weeks of poor instruction. The person you meet with to discuss concerns told me to use code lab or code academy if I wanted to learn. Recruiters won't talk to you once they hear you ...

    Hi Anonymous,

    I'm sorry you had an underwhelming experience. We're very happy with our mentors and the support that they give to students. It's proven to be an effective model time and time again as our students continue to get gainful employment upon graduation. If you are not one of these who's been able to get a job, please reach out to me directly and we'll get you on the path to employment as soon as possible. (cahlan@devmounta.in)

    Working on projects is a critical part of your development. We always have a team of mentors to help you work through problems in your projects, but it is absolutely essential that you get hands-on experience and a portfolio. Employers need to see evidence of what you can do and build, and during projects is when we see the most dramatic improvements in students' understanding and skill.

    I'm surprised with your assessments of recruiters being turned off by your affiliation with DevMountain, especially when our most recent hiring event in Provo two weeks ago (at the time of this writing) had the most employers (nearly 100) of any of our hiring events ever, with a handful of students receiving offers at the time of the event or within hours of the event being over.

    Again, I'm sorry you didn't have a great experience. Please reach out to me so we can make it right. (cahlan@devmounta.in)

    Well I have a great job now so...

    I first went to DevMountain a year ago and after going throught the course I was selected to be a mentor. I mentored for a class and a half and then worked for DevMountain Labs for a little while. I feel like DevMountain is a great place to learn for thoes that are willing to do all they can. Prepair for the course before by doing all the pre-course work and then some. When you go be willing to truly spend all your time working while at the bootcamp. If you do you will be rewarded with the...

    Best decision!

    I did a lot of research before applying to DevMountain. I'm from the Bay Area California where you can literally walk into a coffee shop and pitch your idea to some person you find sitting on a couch coding. With that being said, I had a lot of people to talk to in regards to Coding Bootcamps. I got mixed reviews with the usual outcome being, College grads (Engineers) with mixed feelings and self taught (Engineers) saying yes to Bootcamps. Prior to DevMountain I had taken college programmi...

    Not perfect, but pretty close

    First of all, I think DevMountain is worth every penny. I've been lucky enough to go from making about $10/hr before the course to over $60k/year after. If you do the math, that means the course paid for itself in about 3 months (it was a tiny bit cheaper when I went). That alone speaks volumes about the value you're getting from DevMountain. But for me, it wasn't just about the money. I wanted a career that I could stay in for the rest of my working life, and DevMountain gave me the skill...
