Prime’s 20-week immersive experience prepares students to join the industry as entry-level software engineers. Using modern technologies like HTML 5, CSS 3, JavaScript, jQuery, React and Node.js to provide foundational concepts, techniques and design patterns essential in all coding environments. Beyond theory, Prime is engineered to quickly build real-world skills through hands-on experiential learning and a focus on toolsets, authentic workplace context and behavioral skills. Hundreds of employers have been wowed by the graduates they’ve hired straight out of Prime and we continually update our curriculum with each new cohort based on insights and feedback from our hiring partners. The curriculum is broken into three main sections or tiers, click here to learn more.

Apply now for our on-campus class starting September 23rd - the application deadline for this class is August 25th!

Online or Virtual Information
The program has three tiers - Tier 1 is the first 5 weeks of the program. It is a structured online experience with 2 required weekly classes and homework. Students come to Prime from different backgrounds with varying levels of technical experience. Tier 1 is our way of ensuring everyone shows up to the first day of in-class instruction ready to speak the same language and successfully learn together. You’ll ramp up for your classroom experience over 5 weeks, learning on your schedule through online training and coding assignments. You’ll also be checking in weekly via video chat with your instructors and fellow students. Plan on spending 13 - 20 hrs/week over the first five weeks on this first tier.

How to Participate

The world’s very best software engineers all have one thing in common: they all started with zero experience. Here’s what we're looking for in Prime applicants:

  • Resiliency to learn from failure and keep experimenting
  • Curiosity, with a voracious appetite for new ideas
  • Intense personal drive, pragmatism, and resourcefulness
  • Commitment to empathy and inclusivity
  • Enough experience to know coding is for you

Prime's admission process starts with an online application. You'll answer short essay questions, logic puzzles and you'll be presented with a challenge where you'll show you're comfortable picking up technical skills. The process is designed to be fun–there's no timer and you can complete your application over as many sessions as you'd like. Once submitted, if your application looks good, you'll be contacted by Prime to schedule an interview where you'll have the chance to sit down with someone from our admissions team to confirm that the program feels like a mutual fit. Generally speaking, you'll know whether you're offered admission within 2 weeks of completing your application. Start your application process here.
