- You have HAVO/VWO/MBO-4 or equivalent working/thinking level
- You're ready to work genuinely hard: this isn't a side quest
- You don't want scattered courses, but one coherent track with a final project

Three phases, one goal
Foundation
The first months lay the technical base. Full-time, hands-on, with direct feedback from your coach. No prior knowledge needed, lots of energy needed.
Specialisation & projects
Deeper into the material with real assignments. You work on projects that become your portfolio: code-reviewed, live on GitHub, explainable in conversation.
Final project & certificate
A substantial final project of production quality, under coach supervision. At the end: an HBO-recognised certificate and a portfolio you can show in interviews.
Three routes to a new career
Each bootcamp has its own curriculum, its own final project and a crystal-clear start profile. Click through for details.
Idea → implementation in a year
Full Stack Developer
The fastest route from beginner to employable developer. Full-time, 100% remote, hands-on and 6 to 12 months at your own pace, with an HBO-recognised certificate.
Pipelines, warehouses and scale
Data Engineer
Learn to build data infrastructure that teams use every day. From ETL to real-time streaming. The role every data team is looking for.
Offensive and defensive security
Cybersecurity
Learn to simulate attacks and defend systems. The shortage of security specialists is enormous. One of the most in-demand profiles on the market.
"Bootcamp students are adults with a clock ticking. So we don't build a theory exam, we build a portfolio they fall back on from day one of their new job."
We train for work, not exams.
Our bootcamps are built around the endpoint: your first job in tech. Final project, portfolio and network matter as much as the tech itself.
Questions about bootcamps
Can I do a bootcamp alongside a job?
We advise against it. A bootcamp asks for 32+ hours per week. A 6–8 hour side job is fine, a full-time job isn't. Want to learn part-time alongside work? Choose Bit Academy Pro.
Will I get help finding a job after the bootcamp?
Yes. You finish with a final project that goes into your portfolio, and we connect you to our employer network (ING, Schiphol, Transavia, NS, Philips, Vattenfall and smaller scale-ups). No job guarantees. But active support, a coach who thinks along, and an alumni network that shares openings.
What about financing (UWV, municipality, employer)?
For career switchers there are often options: UWV (Dutch employment agency) training schemes, municipal retraining funds, or co-financing from your (former) employer. We have experience with all three and help you start the right application. Ask in your intake.
What's the difference between an HBO-recognised certificate and a Bachelor's?
An HBO-recognised certificate means you've learned at HBO Bachelor level: recognised by employers, strong in job interviews, often enough for a junior role. An HBO Bachelor is a full four-year study with Bachelor's title. Want the official degree? Look at our Bachelor Online.
