At GLP Training, we understand the excitement and uncertainty that come with starting your first skill bootcamp.
Whether you’re looking to up-skill, re-skill, or dive into a completely new field, a bootcamp can be a life-changing opportunity. However, to make the most of your experience, it’s important to go in with the right expectations and preparation.
Here are things you should know before signing up for your first bootcamp:
1. Understand the Commitment
Bootcamps are intensive by design. At GLP Training, skills bootcamps are usually 3 weeks long. Be prepared to dedicate significant time and energy both during sessions and outside of them. However, this can still be a great benefit in order to learn a new skill in quick time.
2. Clarify Your Goals
Are you aiming to land a new job, advance in your current role, or simply explore a new interest? Knowing your goals will help you choose the right bootcamp and keep you motivated throughout.
3. Research the Curriculum
Not all bootcamps are created equal. Look at each courses' curriculum to ensure it covers the skills you want to learn. At GLP Training, we offer hands-on, industry-aligned courses to ensure our learners are prepared for real-world applications.
4. Check the Credentials of Instructors
The quality of your learning experience heavily depends on your instructors. Find out their backgrounds, industry experience, and teaching style. A great instructor can make even complex topics approachable and engaging.
5. Assess the Bootcamp Format
Bootcamps come in various formats—online, in-person, full-time, part-time, or hybrid. Choose one that aligns with your schedule and learning preferences. If you’re working full-time, a part-time or self-paced programme might be more feasible.
6. Prepare for Hands-On Learning
Skill bootcamps focus heavily on practical, project-based learning. Be ready to roll up your sleeves and get hands-on with real-world problems, which will help you build a portfolio to showcase your skills.
7. Look Into Career Support
Does the bootcamp offer career services such as resume reviews, interview prep, or job placement assistance? At GLP Training, we go the extra mile by connecting our learners with industry professionals and potential employers.
8. Build a Support System
You’ll likely face challenges along the way, from tough assignments to time management. Surround yourself with supportive peers, instructors, and mentors who can help you stay motivated. Networking with fellow learners can also lead to long-lasting professional relationships.
9. Be Ready to Learn Beyond the Bootcamp
While a bootcamp will give you a solid foundation, continuous learning is key in any field. Take the skills and mindset you develop and apply them to further growth through additional courses, certifications, or on-the-job practise.
At GLP Training, we’re dedicated to empowering learners with the tools and confidence they need to succeed. From expert instructors to a strong focus on career outcomes, our bootcamps are designed to set you up for success.
