Frequently Asked Questions

What does software development mean?

Software developers are the people who design, develop (program), and maintain software systems. That includes desktop apps like Microsoft Word, websites like Amazon, mobile apps, games, hardware, and much more! Watch our popular video to find out more.

How do I know if I will be good at software development?

If you are good at problem-solving and analytical reasoning (like math), software development is a great choice for you! Creative thinking and organization are also great skills to have.

How many hours a week will I need to spend on the videos and the homework?

Live sessions will be 2 and a half hours with another hour for homework. Sessions watched solo followed by homework average around 3 hours each. You can expect to spend a total of about 10 hours per week divided by class, videos, and homework.

How long will it take to complete the program?

You set your own pace. On average, you’d be done in 10-12 months.

What happens if I get stuck or need help with the course work?

That’s what we’re here for! Our trained mentors, all graduates of CPU, are experts in the course material and are available to help students with any questions.

How is my progress tracked?

CPU Code School keeps track of each student’s progress throughout the course, including grades on assignments and skill segments. Every session of instruction is followed by a homework assignment, which is submitted and marked. Students can only proceed after successful completion of an assignment.

Do I get a degree upon completion of the course?

There is no degree upon completion of the course.

Won’t I need a degree to get a job and be a successful software developer?

There are boundless opportunities for our graduates. In order to be a successful software developer, you need quality training along with brains, determination, and hard work. At CPU, we are committed to your success. When you complete our course, you will have an impressive portfolio and resume building, as well as access to our extensive employer network.

Will CPU help me find my first job?

Job placement is a priority at CPU Code School. We have a staff member working exclusively on job placement. CPU is constantly building connections and growing our extensive employer network.

What is the average starting salary for someone completing CPU Code School?

A full-time entry-level position has an annual salary of approximately $50,000.

What is the title of a starting job in the field?

Entry-level positions include Front-End, Back-End, and Full-Stack Developer, or QA (Quality Assurance) Engineer. You may also see titles like Software Engineer, Web Developer, or Programmer.

Once I get my first job, how quickly can I advance in both salary and position?

Usually, beyond entry-level, positions and salaries increase for years of experience: 1-2 years, 3-5 years, 5-10 years, and 10+ years. However, as you gain experience as a software developer, your real value is in your quality work, commitment, teamwork, and ability to learn new skills. So how quickly you advance will depend both on your experience and value as an employee.

What Our Employers and Students Say

“Taking the CPU Code School course was the best thing I ever did for my personal and professional development. As someone who never programmed before, it taught me all the fundamental skills needed to be a successful software developer. The course was challenging, but timely help was always available and questions were answered in a helpful manner. Upon completion of the course they also helped me find a job that I really enjoy. If you are looking to break into the software industry, I highly recommend this course.”

“CPU’s graduates are prepared to enter and integrate well within a development team. CPU’s emphasis on providing strong foundations of information allow the graduates to contribute value to the team quickly.”

“Taking the software development course by CPU Code School was one of the best decisions I’ve made. Mr. Gellis taught everything beginning with the basics and working up to more advanced computer programming. I gained so much knowledge and a solid foundation to move forward in my career as a software developer at Beable Education. The skills that Mr. Gellis taught help me in my current position even when using languages unfamiliar to me. Even after the 10 months of the course were over, I was never left alone to figure things out on my own, but rather I continued to receive guidance both with programming questions and with job placement. I highly recommend this course for anyone interested in this field.”

“Community Playthings has engaged the services of CPU Code Dev on several software projects over the past 5 years. I have had the privilege of working intensively with four different CPU Code School graduates over the course of these projects. They have been consistently good communicators who produce quality code on time. As participants in an Agile team process, they have advocated for best practices, good architecture, and forward-looking technical choices. I have confidence in the long-term maintainability of software developed by CPU Code school graduates.”

“Going with the video course track allowed me to arrange the courses around my schedule, while still coming out with the same clarity of the material thanks to the mentoring program. With the help of CPU Code School's job placement efforts, I found a great job where I can put the skills I acquired during the course to use every day.”

“CPU Code School was a great experience from when I joined until I completed the course, and the skills I gained continue to help me to this day. Mr. Gellis or one of his employees always made themselves available when I needed assistance with homework, and once I graduated I had them on my team while I searched for my first job. Not only did I learn the basics of programming, I gained the necessary skills and background knowledge to learn new languages as well as how to collaborate with others on projects and additional workplace skills.”
