Advantages and Disadvantages of Boot Camps:

• Self Study: If you wish to attend any programming boot camp then you need to learn the coding via online courses available. No personal instructor is available to guide you personally.

  Yes, on one side it’s beneficial as you don’t have to pay any tuition fees while on the other hand those who can study on their own can only enrol. Also, no any kind of formal training is available and so you may face some difficulties while applying for any job interview.

  Yes, this limitation too can be overcome if you have a strong background and enough self confidence to show case and prove your programming skills.

• College Degrees: If you enrol in any reputed university then after completion of four years tenure you are likely to get a degree along with certificate. In boot camps, you won’t be awarded any such certificate or degree.

  And if we take a look in the market, people with degree certificates are actually awarded more jobs. College degrees are expensive and those who wish to start career very early for them these four years can be really a waste of time.

Advantages:

And so there will be a wide difference in the education that you get here as compared to that in university. As per an article in Wall Street Journal:

“Employers doubt whether boot camps are able to provide successful programmers or not. Some companies lack the sufficient infrastructure to train their employees and so they prefer to have programmers with college degrees who are well trained.

However, Boot camps are still useful to get expert candidates for the programming field.

Talking about Self study, more support and motivation is offered at boot camps as compared to colleges and university that boosts self confidence in students and n increased thirst to learn and succeed.

Any one enrolling in boot camp is investing a good amount of $10,000 as well as enough time of 10 weeks and so people learn programming skills enthusiastically and an important benefit is that programmers are joined with a community of coders which can serve to be fruitful.
