Four Phases of Learning

PHASE 1: INTRODUCTION TO WEB DEVELOPMENT

You'll learn full stack web development fundamentals, understand front-end technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and explore the tools and methods software developers use every day.

PHASE 2: BACK-END DEVELOPMENT

Learn about code that runs on a server using Python, how to set up and use relational databases, and how to develop fully functioning web applications using the Django framework.

PHASE 3: ADVANCED FRONT-END AND BACK-END

Dig deeper into the aspects of web development that interest you the most. You can learn how to build rich interactive web applications that work as well on mobile as on the desktop with front-end technologies. Or work like a back-end web developer to dig into the cloud, and learn how to set up servers and run complicated processes.

PHASE 4: AGILE DEVELOPMENT

Tackle modern Agile development practices by building a final team project. Gain the skills you need to contribute to a development team, like participating in code reviews, using Agile planning, giving technical presentations, and pair programming.

Application Process

What do we look for in students?

Starting a new career takes a lot of work and dedication. At Momentum, we have created a supportive and rigorous environment to help people learn and gain practical job skills to start a career in tech. We look to admit students to our course who are eager to start a career in tech, have tinkered with coding enough to know a career writing code is the right fit for them, and who are ready to work alongside others through the learning process. This means we accept students who demonstrate the soft skills required to learn and work in groups.
