Solidity Bootcamp

Yes but you almost certainly won't pass the entrance exam.

We have solidity instructors and solidity professionals sign up for this course. You'll be in good company! If you score 60% or lower on our solidity test, then we are sure the course is a good fit for you.

Not only will it benefit you, we've had a lot of companies pay the tuition of their blockchain engineers to attend this! This is a win-win for you. You will still have to go through our admissions process like everyone else however.

About 10% of our students are entrepreneurs who own their own business or a founder stake in it.

You can, but your application will have a relative disadvantage and you will need to do extremely well on the coding test and have a strong application to get in. We strongly recommend that you complete the resources listed above before you start. You also need to be ready to dedicate more than 30 hours per week.

In a large class, people get too intimidated to ask or answer questions in a group. However, answering and asking questions is an important catalyst for learning quickly. The size limit makes it easier for the instructor to develop a better relationship with the student and keep track of their progress and weaknesses.

These benefits don't happen in a large class.

We have zero venture funding, so we are under no pressure to grow quickly. This allows us to focus on quality over quantity.

Really, really hard. (Just check our testimonials!) Chances are, you won't complete it within the sixteen weeks (we make allowances for people falling behind to a certain degree). We are trying to cram almost a year of experience into a third of a year by keeping you in a constant state of learning new things and making new mental connections.

You should be ready to set aside 20 to 30 hours per week to complete this program. If you are more junior, this may end up being a full time bootcamp for you.

There is no shortcut for learning. Learning takes time. However, get in touch with us and we can try to time their learning sequence to line up with your business needs. Contact us if this applies to you.

Of course there is, but how is that working out for most people? When you join the RareSkills bootcamp, you join a curated community of determined people and get direct one-on-one time with industry leaders who will inspire you to new heights in your career and answer questions search engines cannot. There is a lot more to fulfilling your career goals than just coding. People who have actually accomplished what you are trying to do will help you the most. Also think about this in terms of the value of your time.

Let's say you charge $50 per hour ($100,000 per year salary). If we save you about 120 hours of wasted study time, you recoup the cost and get a bigger professional network. That amounts to about 7-8 hours per week of time saved.

How does time get wasted studying?

• Getting distracted more easily because you are working alone with less accountability
• Spending a lot of time looking online for information you can't find on stackoverflow or a blog somewhere
• Trying to decipher sparse documentation

The question isn't whether you can learn all of this on your own (hopefully you can!), it's how fast do you want to do it and do you want the other integrated benefits?

Spending money on a bootcamp doesn't mean you not capable of learning on your own. We have very successful entrepreneurs and programmers pay to join our program. Nobody would accuse them of being incapable of learning on their own.

As noted in the prerequisites, there is already a lot of quality free material available that will take you from zero to a solid beginner, if not a rising intermediate.

This is normal. We make allowances for this as long as we can see you are putting the effort in.

However, we do not tolerate students not taking the program seriously. We want our group of 5 to be a high quality group who will positively influence each other's outcome and form a valuable network.

If life circumstances happen that force you to delay your education, we will move you to the next cohort. However, if you are falling behind because of not taking the bootcamp seriously, we will ask you to stop the program.

Your success is our success. We want you to go off and do great things in the blockchain space. But we cannot force you to be passionate about the subject — and you must be passionate about the subject to join and stay in the program.

You must pass the coding test with a sufficient score. Then you will do a 30 minute video interview with one of our staff. If your application passes, you will be given a conditional offer of acceptance. To reserve your spot, you will need to pay at least the first month of tuition. Please not that students who pay the entire amount upfront may be given preference for admission, all else being equal.

If your employer is paying for your education, absolutely not, that would be a conflict of interest!

For everyone else, we do. We encourage you to see our outcomes and testimonials to see what kind of jobs our students get. Depending on the hiring partner, we may earn acommission from referring you to a job. If you are a freelancer, we may also refer web3 engineering work to you (and collect a commission). Our instructors are also hiring managers and we will be happy to help you fix up your resume and prepare for interviews. As engineering leaders who have conducted dozens, if not hundreds of interviews dozens and seen hundreds, if not thousands of resumes, our feedback hold far more weight than most other career services.

Please note that although our career outcomes are very good, our primary goal is build up your skills to the point where you can move the web3 space forward.

We are not here to entice you with six figure salaries like most bootcamps do. Many of our students already earn that much.

You should care about subject mastery of blockchain for its own sake, and we are here to help you achieve that as fast as possible.
