This is a unique part-time Introduction to Coding program designed to teach you coding fundamentals and get you into a top immersive bootcamp, if that's your goal. Thanks to our partnerships with 8+ bootcamps, this program is in some cases completely free!

Our program is also great for anyone working in tech in a non-coding role, as code literacy can be incredibly valuable for improving communication with technical co-workers.

In just 4 weeks, you will be able to problem-solve and think like a programmer, build a simple front-end for a dynamic web app, and pass coding challenges at the most selective bootcamps. Our graduates have been admitted to App Academy, Hack Reactor, Rithm School, Galvanize, Berkeley's extension program, Flatiron School, Fullstack Academy, General Assembly, and more great programs.

Classes are in-person or online and capped at just 16 students with a 6:1 or better ratio of students to teachers. Hands-on pair programming exercises make up the bulk of class time. All classes are taught by professional software engineers.

So how is it "free"? FSC's tuition ranges from $1,500 - $2,500 (payment plans are available), depending on which program you take. If you decide you love coding and continue on to one of our 8+ partner bootcamps, you will receive a tuition credit of up to $1,500, effectively negating at least the majority of First Step Coding's tuition. ...
