Coding Bootcamp or Tech Training

Coding bootcamps and tech training programs teach programming languages, web development, data science, cybersecurity, or other technical skills through intensive courses ranging from weeks to months.

Delivery models include in-person intensive bootcamps, evening part-time courses, or online programs.

Success requires technical expertise, curriculum development abilities, teaching skills, and connections to tech employers for job placement assistance.

Pricing varies widely - full-time bootcamps charge $8,000-20,000 for 10-16 week programs, part-time evening courses $3,000-8,000, workshops $200-1,000.

Revenue model depends on format - bootcamps need 15-20 students per cohort generating $120,000-300,000 per program.

Startup costs include curriculum development, space rental for in-person, platform for online delivery, marketing, and instructor costs totaling $20,000-100,000 depending on model.

Building student pipeline involves partnerships with career services, marketing to career changers, employer partnerships for hiring graduates, content marketing demonstrating outcomes, and potentially income share agreements (students pay percentage of salary after employment).

Operating costs include space, instructors, curriculum updates, job placement support, and marketing.

Challenges include keeping curriculum current with technology changes, job placement pressure, students' varying technical backgrounds, and competition from free online resources and established bootcamps.

Success requires practical curriculum teaching employer-needed skills, career support helping graduates get jobs, measuring and marketing outcomes (job placement rates, salary increases), and instruction focused on hands-on projects not just theory.
