QuickPass: The Fast Lane to Software Engineering Success

Are you a Veteran, Servicemember, or military spouse ready to transition to tech? Do you prefer hands-on learning experiences with immediate results? Look no further than QuickPass: an accelerated route to joining Code Platoon. 

QuickPass isn’t just another application process; it’s a dynamic enrollment method tailored for prospective students ready to hit the ground running. Completing QuickPass guarantees acceptance for Code Platoon, ensuring a seamless transition for aspiring coders. The classes—occurring three evenings per week over a period of three weeks—blend lectures and hands-on practice with a dedicated instructor, equipping participants with the foundation to thrive in intensive coding bootcamps.

“My biggest motivator for enrolling in QuickPass was to learn programming fundamentals quickly and with a live class,” said Neka Blair, a military spouse who completed QuickPass to Whiskey Platoon. 

“Having an instructor specifically for our session helped me and my classmates cement the coding concepts. When someone had a question or needed something explained, the instructor was right there to guide us. We would get immediate feedback on our practice work.”

Beyond mastering the fundamentals, QuickPass provides comprehensive support throughout the enrollment process for Coding Bootcamp. Participants work closely with our enrollment team, coordinating VA benefits and scholarships, completing SkillBridge requirements, and enrolling in the upcoming program of their choice.

“I enjoyed QuickPass. It was intense, but the class pace was doable,” said Neka. “Having live instruction, practicing coding daily, and tackling the coding challenges during QuickPass were all invaluable. I went from barely any coding experience to nine hours per week of QuickPass sessions to now 40 hours per week in the Immersive Bootcamp. It was a great way to ramp up to the program.”

In our initial trial, nine QuickPass participants transitioned to the Full-stack Software Engineering: Immersive program, solidifying QuickPass as a pathway to success.

“I won’t lie, QuickPass required a lot of us, but we grew from the experience,” said Neka. “QuickPass showed me how much I can learn and that I’m capable of great things. It definitely prepared me for Code Platoon.”

Whether you’re starting with minimal coding experience or looking to enhance your skills, QuickPass empowers you for your transition to tech. Enroll in our next QuickPass session and take the first step toward accelerating your coding journey.
