Bootcamp

As a software agency working on international projects, we’ve often faced the challenge of sourcing developers with skills that meet international standards. In response, we’ve decided to create a 4-month-long intensive Bootcamp program to educate aspiring developers and equip them with the skills they need for a successful career in software development. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for them to join our team and work with us on international projects. 

So far, 90 people have already graduated from our Bootcamp program. About 85% of them are successfully employed as mid/junior-level developers, and 33 of them are part of the Redberry team.

How Does This Bootcamp Really Work?

Bootcamp

Redberry’s Bootcamp is an extensive program that focuses on both theoretical and practical aspects of learning. To help participants fully understand the technology we use, we support theoretical teachings with premium courses and prepare presentations and workshops. Throughout the process, experienced mentors and software developers guide participants at every step and provide additional resources.

Each theoretical course involves hands-on practical assignments. Participants also work on several mini-projects during the course and for the final task, they are required to independently build a complex application. To make sure they write clean and high-quality code, our mentors review each pull request and give them instructions on the ways to make the code better and more optimized.

Our program also includes daily standup meetings led by our mentors to answer any questions the participants might have and make sure they understand all the covered subjects. 

So, by the end of the program, the participants will gain the skills to work both independently as well as collaboratively in teams. And what’s most important, they will already have a reasonably enriched portfolio under their belt.

Requirements

For those interested in joining our Bootcamp, we have just a few requirements:

  • Proficiency in English (Level B2 or higher)
  • Full-time availability
  • Basic knowledge of programming languages, including HTML/CSS/Javascript.

Recruitment Stages Overview

  • Filter. We start the process by carefully screening applications, prioritizing a minimum English proficiency of B2 and full-time availability. This ensures that our candidates meet the basic requirements for a successful collaboration.
  • Technical assignment. If the candidate passes the initial screening successfully, they’ll receive an invitation for an assignment introduction call. We provide all the necessary resources and guides to support candidates in completing the project successfully. Note: The project might seem challenging at first, but there will be enough time for research.
  • Technical Interview. Candidates with top-rated assignments receive invitations to the final stage – the technical interview. This phase is conducted partly in English and has two purposes. First, to evaluate their spoken language proficiency, assess their core programming knowledge and showcase candidates’ practical skills and problem-solving abilities by engaging in a live coding session.

Wondering about the scope of our Bootcamp? We’ve included the program’s syllabus below so you can go through all the subjects and tasks covered over the four months.
