A guide to Delaware coding bootcamps — for any specialty

Across all three counties, there are upskilling opportunities in fields ranging from IT hardware to cybersecurity.

If you’re looking to break into a tech career or update your skills, a coding bootcamp is still a good way to get a certification (relatively) quickly.

Coding bootcamps first arrived in Delaware a decade ago, with the 2015 launch of Zip Code Wilmington. Today, there are more than a dozen tech workforce programs with access to residents in all three counties.

In addition to traditional coding bootcamps — which are immersive and highly competitive — there are also plenty of intensive tech workforce development cohorts that don’t fit the mold. 

Interested in IT hardware? Life sciences? Data science? Cybersecurity? There are programs in Delaware that will get you certified in weeks or months, sometimes tuition-free.

This searchable update to the Delaware bootcamp guide is as varied as it has been in the past. It includes options for people who need to continue working during the course, established technologists looking to reskill and people with no coding experience looking to jumpstart a more lucrative career.

That means that some on the list are not technically “bootcamps.” But, in the interest of compiling a list that is both accessible to a cross-section of Delawareans and inclusive of the many organizations in the state working to fill its tech pipelines, we’re counting a variety of short-term certification programs that can lead directly into a job, internship or externship.

This list is an update of our 2024 bootcamp guide. Have a suggestion we should add? Reach out to delaware@technical.ly
