Are web design bootcamps worth it?

Form and function work hand in hand to create excellent websites. That’s why web design is a growing and lucrative career in the tech industry. Today, the demand for qualified web designers outstrips supply, and it’s no longer necessary to have a college degree to work in the field. The tech industry recognized these trends and responded by creating coding bootcamps.

Coding bootcamps are a new form of career education for adults. These programs focus on job readiness and practical skills.

UX and UI design bootcamps—sometimes known as web design bootcamps—are a proven path to a top tech career. These design courses are available online and in-person with full-time, part-time, and flexible schedule options. Flexible design bootcamps allow for those with busy schedules or important responsibilities to still get an education.

How do you find the best web design bootcamps? Today, there are numerous options to choose from, and when deciding which UI or UX design course to attend, it’s essential to do some research. Bootcamps now have a decade of history and plenty of alumni reviews, which can help you during the research process. In addition, many bootcamps offer job placement services alongside their practical web design training, with career coaches and mentorship to help students find a job even after graduation.

The best web design courses offer a carefully-designed combination of up-to-date curriculum, career coaching, and portfolio projects. The same principles apply to online bootcamps, as online courses should provide the same level of education for learning web design.

15 Best Web Design Bootcamps

Q&A

Answers to commonly asked questions

Can a bootcamp help me get a web design job?

Is web design a good career?

Yes, web design is a good career. Web designers work on a wide range of projects and enjoy high salaries.

Yes, web design bootcamps come with a wide range of scheduling options. Students can select in-person, online, full-time, and part-time courses.

Are there any web design bootcamps for beginners?

Absolutely, most web design bootcamps don’t require much (if any) previous coding experience to apply, as they’ll teach you how to code during the course.
