• 18 Week Coding Bootcamps

  Become a Software Developer

  Learn high demand skills that will make you a competitive developer in a rapidly expanding industry. This program is offered through Central Washington University Continuing Education in collaboration with Promineo Tech. Promineo Tech partners with colleges to prepare participants for high-growth careers in software development.

  Promineo Tech is a group of IT professionals and leaders who believe that quality education should be offered at an affordable price.

  Most bootcamps run a Full Stack Software Developer program, but we found that it's better to specialize in either Front End or Back End. Because of this, we offer two separate, full-length programs - one for each stack. This way, students spend more time mastering their selected track and becoming strong candidates for a role in development.

• Agribusiness Certificates

  This fall, Central Washington University will roll out two new continuing education certificates geared toward the needs of Washington's growing food and agriculture industry.
