COURSE STRUCTURE
Foundations
Remote | 6 weeks full time
Foundations is an accelerated, challenging experience. You will study remotely, taking on weekly challenges, and having weekly check-ins with tutors. It is vital you have reliable access to the internet throughout Foundations.
Bootcamp
Auckland, Wellington, or Online Campus
9 weeks, 60 hours per week
The 9 week Bootcamp is a completely immersive experience. Expect to be busy and focused. Most students commit about 60 hours per week to lectures, assignments, challenges, and side projects.
You will be guided by teachers who are passionate about helping students master the principles of software development, and you will learn by solving coding challenges in pairs, solo and in group projects.
We know the time commitment is intense so we offer mindfulness and long lunches to combat fatigue, and we are committed to supporting your emotional and physical wellbeing.
Human Skills
Weekly deep dives and check-ins
While we train you to be a junior developer, we equally emphasise teaching collaboration and interpersonal skills. Most web development is done in teams and requires effective communication with designers, project managers, and clients.
Careers
2 weeks, after Bootcamp - 50 hours
Our careers sessions will help you develop the skills to land your first dev job and grow your career. Topics include effectively job hunting, CV preparation, and skills for interviewing. Careers sessions are recorded so graduates can review them when preparing for a big job interview. Graduates can also work 1-on-1 with an industry recruiter to help with their job seeking efforts.
Our graduates say it best
Don't just take our word for it. Dev Academy students and graduates share their stories
about the programme, getting jobs and having meaningful careers.

Course fees are $12,497
Junior Software Developers can expect a starting salary of $50,000 to $80,000 depending on location, employer and experience (the average is around $65,000). Tech salaries grow fast, with the median salary for tech jobs being over $100,000 within 6 years.
Student Loans & Allowances
All fees can be covered by student loans for both Full-time and Part-time study, and living costs via allowances on our Full-time course. This means you could start as soon as you’d like without the financial burden of up front costs*.
*Student loan and allowance criteria apply.
Fees Free
If you are a first-time tertiary learner, or your first tertiary education was covered by the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund, you may be able to get your fees covered as part of the government's fee free scheme.
The changes that come into effect in 2025 are that when you enrol you will need to organise payment of your fees with us, via a student loan. Then when you complete your qualification you make a claim through the IRD website and your fees are refunded back to you. This portal will be available from 2026 onwards.Find out if you're eligible here.
Paying in installments
If you are paying for the course yourself, because we're a small institution we can be more flexible.
One option is to pay in instalments. The first instalment of $$3280.59 for the Foundations phase and then second of $9216.41 covers the remainder of the course fee and can be paid one month before the Bootcamp phase start date.
Or we could also discuss bespoke payment plans. Get in touch with us for a chat about more details.
