Have you ever reviewed the bootcamps Trilogy offers? They partner with universities in the US mainly, but they also partnered with some unis overseas. I chose them because my university was the only one that offered a bootcamp in English in Mexico, and learning in English is actually a plus here, but no national bootcamp offered such a program here.
I've lost count of the number of people that have suggested that. I think it would take me in an entirely different direction than I want to go with my business though.
I haven't reviewed them, but you're welcome to request a review for either of those. There's a form link in this video's description where you can request it.
A lot of bootcamps in my area focus more on gender and racial diversity before any pre-requisite technical skills whatsoever meaning as long as a candidate has the right gender and skin color anything else is irrelevant - never seen a line of code before, no problem.
Are boot camps still that relevant, compared to ~5-7 years ago? From what I can tell, they were initially pretty novel, and trained some job relevant skills over a year or more. Now it seems like there's a thousand of them. They're getting shorter and going online. They are churning out so many ill-prepared people. Do people think they can go from ground zero, spend 10 weeks on basic web dev, and have greater than a .1% chance of becoming a professional? Seems like that's what's promised by these bootcamps. You know JS/HTML/CSS? So does everyone else. From all the comments I read on UA-cam and reddit, there's a whole army of people who have a gross misunderstanding of the knowledge and skills it takes to break into this space.

Thanks for this Don
You should create your own bootcamp

Well done
My bootcamp was totally free deep dive coding in Albuquerque. Although it was free many of your talking points are issues in this bootcamp
Whats the best coding bootcamp you would suggest for a person with no experience?
None it’s a scam
What is your opinion on free non profit bootcamps like PerScholas and GenetationUSA?

that may be true but hopefully these camps can help?
