This special course happens only once a year, in Sydney, Australia.
FireBootCamp is an intensive, full-time, 9-week .NET training course run by SSW, one of Australia’s oldest and best software development companies.
At the BootCamp, participants learn, work, and code together for 10-12 hours per day, 5 days a week. Apart from exercise and food breaks, the students in the program are hands on learning and coding all day, every day.
At the end of the 9 weeks, the students will have built a real-world Enterprise Application with a real Product Owner using Scrum.
FireBootCamp is made for all developers
- Experienced .NET developers seeking to upskill
- New .NET developers – close the gap between university and the real world
- The development manager – forge your development team into first class heroes
We interview each student before the course commences and, if necessary, will prescribe some online short courses to ensure each student has the prerequisite knowledge required to get the most out of the course.
Why is our course so good?
- Courses are run by professional developers with decades of real world experience
- Guest speakers include some of Australia’s top .NET experts
- As Australia’s top .NET development companies, the developers who run the course have a deep understanding of the skills necessary to succeed in this field
- Hands-on learning – the best way to learn is by building something real

Why employer-sponsored training?
- Studies show that employer sponsored training of mid-career employees creates higher post-training retention rates[1].
- It improves business performance, profit, and staff morale
- It demonstrates to your workforce that you value them enough to invest in them, improving loyalty and staff retention
- By upskilling, your employees are prepared to do new and different tasks, which keeps them motivated and fresh
- You get to choose what new skills your workforce gains, targeting skills to meet the needs of your operation for now and in the future
