Your questions answered
What are the skills needed to become a web developer?
To become a successful Web Developer, you need a combination of soft and technical skills. All of these essential skills are taught in Chimp’s Web Development bootcamp.
On the soft skills side, adaptability is crucial for navigating the dynamic and fast-paced tech industry. Being an independent learner and possessing excellent problem-solving abilities are also important. Additionally, a genuine interest in learning new technologies and strong communication skills will help you collaborate effectively with team members and stakeholders.
On the technical side, proficiency in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript is essential, as these are the foundational languages for web development. Familiarity with Ruby, as well as a solid understanding of UX/UI principles, is also important. Furthermore, knowledge of web development frameworks, APIs, and databases will enhance your capabilities.
With these skills, a Web Developer can create responsive and visually appealing websites, maintain and update existing ones, and continuously improve their craft to remain relevant in the ever-evolving tech landscape.
Does Chimp accept deferred tuition, student loans, Income Share Agreements (ISA) or other financing plans?
Yes, certain cities offer financing options through local partners, including deferred tuition plans, student loans, and Income Share Agreements (ISA). For detailed information, visit there or reach out to a local admission manager.
I’m under 18 years old, can I apply?
You need to be 18 to enroll for the course. However, you can apply if you are 17 as long as you turn 18 before the start of the bootcamp.
Will I learn mobile app development?
You will learn the essential skills to create responsive and adaptable web applications that work well on any device, including mobile. However, our curriculum doesn’t focus specifically on iOS, Android or Windows Phone development. Instead, we focus on the fundamentals of programming and web development – key skills that serve as the backbone of software engineering and are valuable in any tech role
Through modules on Responsive Web Design, you’ll master techniques that ensure your web applications display seamlessly on mobile screens. Additionally, you’ll learn to create powerful APIs, a critical component of mobile app development. This means that if you decide to build mobile apps in the future, you’ll have a solid foundation to collaborate effectively with mobile developers, who can take the APIs you’ve built and use them to create a native mobile interface.
In short, Chimp prepares you with the versatile skills needed to succeed in web and mobile-ready development environments, empowering you to expand into mobile app development when you’re ready.
What are the tuition fees?
Tuition fees are tailored to each location, reflecting local cost of living and economic factors, ensuring accessibility across cities. For exact pricing and available payment options, visit the course page for your chosen city on our website. Here, you can explore various financing options, including deferred payment plans, student loans, and, in some locations, Income Share Agreements (ISAs), making it easier to pursue your tech education and start your new career without financial barriers.
I don’t have any technical background, can I join the course?
Here’s what you need to know about technical prerequisites for each bootcamp:
- Web Development: No technical background is required. We look for motivated, curious, and social students. If this describes you, you’re ready to apply and complete the selection process.
- Data Science & AI: Requires basic programming and math knowledge:
- Programming: Familiarity with data types, conditions, loops, functions, and data structures (arrays and dictionaries) in any language like Python, Ruby, or JavaScript.
- Mathematics: Comfort with high school-level functions, derivatives, and linear equations. We provide pre-bootcamp resources to help you brush up on linear algebra and statistics.
- Data Analytics: Beginner-friendly, with no prerequisites beyond motivation to start your tech journey.
- Data Engineering: Beneficial to have foundational skills in programming, databases, and data infrastructure. Successful data engineers often blend these technical skills with strong soft skills to solve complex data challenges. This bootcamp provides hands-on training to help you build or deepen these skills, whether you’re starting fresh or seeking advanced expertise.
What language is the bootcamp taught in?
The bootcamp is primarily taught in English in most cities. In French cities, the program is conducted in French, with morning lectures and evening live-coding sessions in French, so fluency is necessary to attend in France. In some locations like São Paulo, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Tokyo, sessions are available in local languages (Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese). You can verify the language of upcoming batches on the “Apply” page. Regardless of the teaching language, all challenge instructions and documentation are provided in English, so a minimum B2 level in written English is essential for all students.
How does AI impact web development?
AI is transforming web development by boosting efficiency and opening doors to innovative solutions. By automating repetitive tasks, speeding up testing and deployment, and enhancing security, AI enables developers to focus on complex, creative work. This accelerates the development timeline and elevates the quality of web applications, making them more responsive, secure, and user-friendly.
AI also empowers developers to push boundaries, fostering the creation of new products and startups. While AI tools can assist in design and prototyping, skilled developers are essential to bring these ideas to life. Together, AI and human expertise are driving the next wave of creativity and progress in web development.
