About CodeCore

CodeCore Developer Bootcamp is an intensive in-person training program in professional web development which runs for 8 weeks at a time, 5 times a year, out of Vancouver, B.C. Canada. They are known as “Bootcamps” due to their high intensity and fast pace which is designed to get students up to speed with the skills required and into jobs as fast as possible. CodeCore itself is lean and agile and able to adapt it’s curriculum quickly based on the input of employers.

CodeCore works with some of the biggest names in the industry. Great companies such as Samsung, Amazon, Hootsuite, Sage, and BMC have formed partnerships with CodeCore, and organizations such as Simon Fraser University, and Canadian Women in Communications have also built relationships with us.

In addition to working closely with industry partners for Grad placement opportunities and sponsorships, CodeCore also works with Government agencies to train those that are unemployed due to skills gaps and fill jobs through Service Canada and WorkBC.

Students attending CodeCore hail from all over the world. Nearly 35% of student applications come from those residing outside Canada and are attracted by not only CodeCore’s career boosting potential, great value, and student perks like discounts on Apple Hardware, but also the beautiful city itself that we call home.

CodeCore’s Instructors are carefully selected from some of the best our city has to offer. Sourced not just for their knowledge and experience in their field but more importantly for their teaching ability. Our Instructors and their curriculum are overseen by our Senior Educational Administrator who holds a Masters degree in Education as well as the Private Career Training Institutions Agency of British Columbia. Guest speakers from great local tech companies such as Payfirma, Fundrazr, Ethical Deal, and Lemonstand are frequently invited to speak with students, and Mentors are sourced from our city’s pool of talented developers.

CodeCore Developer Bootcamp is a program of TamTon Training Inc. which is recognized by the B.C. Ministry of Advanced Education as a PCTIA Registered, Certificate granting, fully insured, Institution.

In true startup fashion…

For the first 10 months of the business Jay worked long hours 6-7 days a week, wearing many hats while getting CodeCore off the ground.

It was not uncommon to find him assembling new office furniture in the evening when teaching the next day, or running out to pick up new printed marketing materials in between meetings with industry partners.

Below are just some of the things that Jay was primarily responsible for at CodeCore.
