Questions, Concerns or something else?
What makes App Academy's Software Engineering program different?
Our program pairs a modern AI-focused curriculum, powered by Coding Temple, with daily live sessions, career support for life and an 8-week Tech Residency after graduation where you build and ship a real product with a team. You’ll graduate with both the knowledge and the practical experience that sets you apart.
Do I need prior programming experience?
No prior experience is required. Our curriculum starts with fundamentals and progressively builds to advanced concepts. William M., one of our featured graduates, had “no previous coding experience” but now works as a successful software engineer. What matters most is motivation, commitment, and willingness to learn.
What's included in the Tech Residency?
The Tech Residency is an 8-week program after graduation. Graduates from all four programs build and ship one product together in agile sprints, with sprint planning, standups, retrospectives and code reviews. You come out with real team experience you can honestly discuss with employers.
