Can you fail a coding bootcamp?

Traditional education such as university and high school uses pass and fail metrics to rank students using exams or other grading methods.

In one way or another there will always be a benchmark set where if you score higher than a certain mark you'll pass and if you score below it then you'll fail.

When you attend a coding bootcamp or do an online course such as Flatpack Coders however, you need to take everything that you know about how traditional education works and forget it.

Coding bootcamps for the most part work on a project basis and instead of requiring you to simply remember information to write on an exam paper later, you learn the skills and then have the opportunity to build real world projects afterwards.

For example here at Flatpack, we work with tech companies to have you build real world solutions, meaning you can put real work experience in your portfolio.

At Flatpack we constantly monitor and work with every student on a 1-to-1 basis to ensure they are achieving the highest level of coding and development skill.

The only time we would recommend a student leave the course is when they have decided that they no longer want to pursue a career in tech.

Everyone that takes a coding bootcamp has diverse goals, you're no exception, and it depends what your idea of success vs failure is.

So the question is can YOU fail a coding bootcamp?

At Flatpack, you have a whole year of 1-to-1 sessions to complete all of the required work to receive the pass certificate, so if your work doesn't meet the high standards we train you for, then you know we are right behind you supporting you.

Our number one goal is to make sure you complete the course with the skills, knowledge, and portfolio to succeed as a developer in the tech industry.
