About Lighthouse Labs

 

Holmesglen has partnered with Lighthouse Labs to offer a program aimed at those serious about a career in web development.  Lighthouse Labs is a Canadian tech-education company, gone down under.  Lighthouse Labs was created in 2013 by a team of software developers with a passion for code, mentorship, and education. Lighthouse Labs’ mission is to continuously find the best ways to train the next generation of developers and transform the way tech education is delivered. Lighthouse Labs has introduced over 20,000 Canadians to the practice of coding and launched 1,000+ graduates into careers as professional developers.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

No formal education is required to be admitted to Lighthouse Labs! While having some coding knowledge always helps, your background does not matter as much as a genuine interest in code or data science and a raw determination to succeed in this challenging environment.

If you’re interested in our bootcamp but brand new to code or data, our intro courses are a perfect way to figure out if you're ready for a career as a developer or data analyst.
The bootcamp educational model is built very differently from the ones you experienced in high school and/or university. Holmesglen’s partner, Lighthouse Labs, practices a flipped, immersive model of education that puts the emphasis on the development of practical skills through building real-world applications using an incremental and cumulative collection of tools and best practices.
 
Lectures take up a maximum of two and a half hours in any given day, with another eight to ten hours being spent each day working in a lab setting. You can expect to introduce yourself to new concepts through readings and exercises, getting your knowledge bolstered and backfilled with lectures throughout the week.

It is our core belief that 80% of the learning should be done on the job and we’ve tailored every part of our program around it. Our curriculum is constantly interrupted by a community of passionate developers based off feedback from employers, students, alumni and industry trends. We won’t teach you everything about software development (that takes years of practice), but we will give you the foundation so you can continue learning in your new career as a developer as quickly as possible.
 
Web Flex will prepare you to work in a role as a professional developer. Some roles you might occupy include web developer, front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer.
You don’t need any experience in coding or computer science to succeed in Web Development and be connected to employment afterwards. This program will provide you with everything you need to work as a professional web developer at an entry level position.
The first step to becoming a developer is laying your basic foundation with our Prep Course. The 70 hours you’ll spend on completing preparatory work will introduce the basic technologies you’ll use throughout bootcamp.
We have had many-a-grads build games using web-based game engines for their final projects!
LHL’s curriculum trains you to be a full stack developer which includes these skills:
Client-server separation (via APIs, etc)
Object-Oriented Programming
Algorithm complexity analysis
CS topics such as recursion trees
Data persistence and databases (server-side but also often client-side)
TCP and real-time client-server networking (actually learned by coding a multiplayer snake game!)
Lighthouse Labs has a handful of grads go on to work as game devs after taking our program, because you learn to be a software developer, albeit focused on the web.  As most games involve the internet, it also helps them be more well rounded when thinking about the server-side of games (apis, networking, databases, etc).

Both these programs exist so as to accommodate students’ lifestyles and priorities. If you’re currently working in a position that you want to continue while training, we recommend you enroll in the less concentrated Web Flex. This is also a great option if you’re a parent or caregiver with substantial childcare duties.

If you want to get started with a new career as a web developer as soon as possible, and don’t want to wait for six months, Web Bootcamp is the better option for you. This is also a good fit if you have priorities to attend to half a year down the road.

Web development bootcamp will prepare you to work in a role as a professional full stack developer. Some roles you might occupy include web applications developer, front-end developer, back-end developer, and full-stack developer. You may get entry level positions that will allow you to learn more about the company’s technology and be mentored by more senior people, and you will certainly be able to contribute to the technical side of the business.

Yes! If you enrol in the Bootcamp with Career Boost program, you can get job support from Lighthouse Labs' Career Services team after you arrive in Canada and prove your legal working rights.
