Additionally, you will need a commitment to becoming a world-class programmer. Regardless of your level of previous experience, you are going to need to work hard to make the most of FireBootCamp. If you are dedicated and hungry to learn, you will love FireBootCamp.

Becoming a master software developer is a journey that takes years of experience and practice.

That journey has to start somewhere. FireBootCamp will accelerate your journey and teach you the right way to build enterprise .NET web applications.

Our goal is to ensure that upon graduation you are a valuable asset to any development team and that you are heading off down the right path to becoming an elite software developer.

You will learn foundational skills in .NET and Angular and finish off by building an app using the full stack of technologies.

The course runs full time, Monday to Friday from 9am – 6pm for the full 12 weeks.

In some situations we can be flexible with part-time (the course will take longer).

We do not offer delayed payment plans, and we do not have any relationships with financial institutions to assist with financing.

This course is not covered under student loans such as HECS/HELP.

Payment should be fully paid 1 week before the commencement of the course.

Step 1: Apply

Step 2: Initial interview

We’ll give you a call. Here we will be able to answer any questions you have. We will also evaluate your knowledge in key areas and determine if you are a fit for the program. At this stage we may ask for a comms test.

Step 3: Scholarship test

A week prior to the course, you will be given a small coding task. This will determine if you are eligible for the discounted course.

Step 4: Day 1

On the 1st day, you will meet the team and get straight into the course content.

We are looking for people what are ‘dedicated and hungry to learn’. That means you have a passion for learning and are prepared to work hard to learn the best ways to build enterprise web applications.

Brace yourself. You are going to be busy!

You will be going through learning materials, coding, and working with your mentor. You will be looking forward to your first lunch break! This often includes playing games with the team.

Unless you want to put in extra time to get even better, time commitment outside of normal hours is not necessary.

No. No licenses are required. Extra tools like GitHub Copilot are encouraged but not required.

You will learn how to build enterprise .NET applications the right way from a product specification.

Your learning will cover more than just code and technologies, it will cover best practices, processes and methodologies.

Yes. You need a laptop. The minimum hardware requirements are:

• Intel i5 CPU (or similar AMD)
• 32GB RAM
• 512GB SSD
• Full HD display (1080p resolution)
• Long-lasting battery life (eg: 4+ Hours)

You will learn how to build full stack .NET applications the way that they should be built. This is very different from how they are built in nearly every other course on the market. You will learn the architecture that professional developers use to write large enterprise applications. This maintainable approach is used by SSW for some of the largest websites in the country.

• You will know how to build enterprise full stack .NET applications.
• You will walk away knowing Scrum inside and out.
• You will learn development tools like GitHub
• You will learn how to do database development with EF Core and SQL Server
