From established professionals looking to pivot to young adults interested in entering the tech world, coding bootcamps could be the right move to gain new abilities.
These short-term, intensive training programs teach tech skills without having to go through a multi-year degree program. They also are often a more affordable choice, with many being free for accepted applicants or offering scholarship opportunities.
While traditional coding bootcamps had their heyday in the 2010s, many people are now also interested in gaining skills related to AI. New this year, we identify programs that specifically call out AI skill building.
In the Philadelphia region, there are a range of options to choose from, in terms of format, topics and length. Some programs are just a few months and teach you everything you need to know to pass a certification exam. Others are longer and offer wraparound services, like internships or interview practice.
This guide lists programs with Philadelphia locations or ties. Some things to consider when deciding which one is right for you: what support you’ll want beyond the course itself, and what you hope to accomplish after it’s completed.
This list builds on our 2025 bootcamp guide. Have a suggestion for a program we should add? Reach out to [email protected].
