Coding bootcamps are intensive, accelerated, technical training programs that teach students from all backgrounds and experience levels how to develop websites, apps, software, data science models, IoT devices, and digital media products with the biggest impact and relevance to current market needs. Coding bootcamps are designed for speed and high-impact in a project based learning environment. Students graduate from coding bootcamps with a portfolio, an online presence, and the confidence and skills necessary for a new tech career.
We offer a variety of fulltime and part time technology bootcamps. Each bootcamp teaches different skills, but they’re all focused on teaching you in-demand skills when it comes to software development. We’ll help you prepare for a job as a developer and work with our extensive network in Albuquerque or wherever you may want to launch your coding career. Being associated with Central New Mexico Community College allows us to offer resources to our students, such as professional development and coaching, that may not be offered by other coding bootcamps. Plus, Deep Dive is a much better value than the national average cost of $13,584 for coding bootcamps.
Your desire to become a programmer; your hard work and enthusiasm; and your eagerness to learn in pairs and as part of a team. You will need a laptop with an up-to-date operating system and some basic skills. Reliable internet access is also required. Beyond that, you’ll need to be ready to be immersed in the science and art of technology.
After successful completion of a bootcamp, you will receive a certificate of completion from CNM Ingenuity. As a non-credit program, your certificate of completion is not a degree. However, it is documentation you can show employers to let them know that you have successfully completed the bootcamp and have the skills to do the job. You’ll also receive a digital credential, issued using blockchain technology. Deep Dive Coding is one of the first training programs in the country, and the first in New Mexico, to offer these digital credentials. More importantly, you’ll leave with a portfolio of your work to show to a potential employer.
No, this is a non-credit program. However, certificates are awarded for successful completion and with your certificate you can receive credit for prior learning from CNM’s School of Business and Information Technology. Learn more here about non-credit to credit options.
New trends and technologies are always changing, and we want to make sure that you’re always learning the latest, most relevant information. We do our best to always upgrade to the latest, stable versions of technology tools. All of our bootcamps are improved from one cohort to the next, and updated at least on a quarterly basis.
Your hard work and coding skills gained through the bootcamps will best determine the jobs you’re offered once you graduate; of course, coders are in high demand here in Albuquerque and elsewhere, so your prospects will be great and we’ll do everything we can to promote you. As a graduate, you’ll be ultimately responsible for finding the job that’s right for you, whether as an employee or as a contractor if you decide to start your own software development company as many of our graduates have done. During your program we’ll actively promote you to our partner employers and through our extensive networks, to make sure lots of people know about you and your hacktastic skills. We are in constant touch with companies who are eager, sometimes even rather desperate to hire programmers. Since ultimately you will be the one persuading employers to hire you, you’ll also need to develop your professional, personal and digital brands, and we’ll help you there as well. Learn more about outcomes you can expect after bootcamp.
Software development, web development, IoT, data science, and digital media jobs are projected to grow over the coming decade, at a rate that is much faster than overall job growth. Through our ongoing conversations, we find many of Albuquerque’s top companies are planning to hire more programmers, including entry-level coders, for the foreseeable future. Other cities are equally short of programmers to fill available jobs. learn more about getting a job after bootcamp.
In the end it’s up to you to sell yourself to an employer, but we’ll help and prepare you as much as we can. We bring in guest speakers who give our students great advice and will share their experience about how they got started in the industry. We also host an employer demo day during the last week of the bootcamp, where we invite employers to come meet our students and to see a demo of the capstone projects. We are often informed about job opportunities, which we share with current and past students. We also provide career coaching, and work with you to plan your career goals. Finally, we encourage entrepreneurship in all CNM Ingenuity programs, and we can connect you with resources to start your own business if you’ve got an interest in doing so.
There is no age limit for our bootcamps, however we’re preparing individuals for the workforce and the bootcamp schedules don’t work with typical school summer breaks, so a high school diploma or equivalent is recommended. The average age of our graduates is 33, and we’ve had students ages 17-67. We meet everyone from recent high school graduates, to career changers, to seasoned tech veterans who want to update their skills. As long as you love technology, are proficient with a computer, have the passion to commit to becoming a developer, and plan to get a tech job, (or make some other great use of your new skills), you’ll fit right in at Deep Dive.

Local resources for children for learning how to code:
Every December during Computer Science Education Week, Deep Dive Coding in partnernship with the CNM College of Business and Information Technology host Hour of Code events at many different CNM locations. This is a great introduction to coding for children. Check out the Deep Dive Coding website in November for more information.
Since the STEMulus Center is quite small and classes are in session M-F from 8am-5pm we are unable to conduct tours/field trips for large groups. Instead we encourage you to check out Demo Day rehearsal presentations. These occur 1 week before our students complete the course and its an opportunity to see the projects that students have been working on for the previous 10-12 weeks. Space is limited so please contact us for more information.
