Upcoming Class Dates
Ready to take the next step with Fullstack's Bootcamp Prep?
Our next class starts February 29th, register by February 27th.
Success starts with preparation
Bootcamp Prep takes candidates who already have experience with code to the next level of programming. It covers the specific coding and JavaScript concepts you'll need to know to pass the official Fullstack and Grace Hopper assessment and go on to succeed in bootcamp.
To make sure you're ready to succeed in Bootcamp Prep, take the practice test below. A score of 6 or higher means you're ready to sign up, while 5 or lower means you need a handle on the basics first.
Students who complete a Bootcamp Prep

What you'll learn
The curriculum for Bootcamp Prep includes lectures, workshops, pair programming, coding challenges, and a culminating project--many of the same elements you’ll find in our immersive programs, which is why Bootcamp Prep is great practice for ultimately enrolling in a coding bootcamp.
All of our Bootcamp Prep courses (especially Prep In a Week) are demanding and intense. They are not for true beginners (anyone who has never written any code before) and we recommend them only for those who are actually considering attending a coding bootcamp like Fullstack Academy or Grace Hopper Program.

Bootcamp Prep Online is
taught by Fullstack’s founders
How many bootcamp founders do you know who still teach regularly?
When you take Bootcamp Prep Online, you’ll be taught by Fullstack Academy co-founders David and Nimit, who each have more than 17 years’ worth of programming experience.
They worked together at Yahoo, built an educational games company with millions of players, co-founded and sold tech start-ups—and are now on your screen, teaching you to code... and sneaking in a dad joke or two.
Student Reviews
Instructors are amazing and very helpful! I would recommend this course to all my friends.
Sandy Mak
The Bootcamp Prep program was exactly what I needed in order to pass the Fullstack entrance exam. It was not only informative but enjoyable.
Michael Romani
Getting to do pair programming with other beginners gave me tons of confidence even though I was definitely one of the most beginner beginners in the class. AND, not to mention, I was able to get into Grace Hopper about three weeks after the course was over, something I was not sure I was ready for at all prior to taking the course!
Annalee Switek
The deeper sense of understanding JavaScript that I received from the Bootcamp Prep course allowed me to approach my application and interview process with confidence.

Pre-work for Prep in a Week and Prep in a Month
Once you've taken the practice test, confirmed Bootcamp Prep is right for you, and enrolled, you'll get access to some pre-work. It takes about 10 hours to complete.
It includes 5 lecture videos and several coding challenges, plus solution videos to help you understand the answer to each challenge.
All students are asked to complete this pre-work before the first day of class. It will prepare you to succeed in class--or reveal that you aren't at the right level for Bootcamp Prep and need to request a refund before class actually begins.
