Launch Academy trains software developers and launches careers through our 18-week course. \n\nOur students, who we lovingly call â??Launchersâ??, gain job-ready skills through our approach to education. We give them the tools to dig deeper in any area of the stack after graduation. \n\nBefore the program starts, Launchers complete 150-180 hours of interactive pre-learning where they learn the fundamentals of programming. Once on campus, we teach our students what they need to become professional, full-stack software developers. Over the last 7 years, we have refined a structured learning path that enables Launchers to learn with a challenge-based approach where Launchers collaborate via pair programming and small group work.\n\nOur instructional philosophy, emphasizing Test Driven Development (TDD), pair programming and Agile Methodologies, aims to recreate the environment of a software development team and has successfully trained 750+ aspiring developers into effective contributors that can code from day one.
