Zoneer Academy

Learn by Shipping. Not by Sitting Through Lectures.

Zoneer Academy is a project-based engineering bootcamp — you move real tickets across a real board, the same way our own engineering team does, until you've shipped something real.

The Brief

What Zoneer Academy actually is — written up like a real ticket.

Not a syllabus PDF. The program described the way our own engineers would describe any project: a brief, and acceptance criteria.

ACAD-00 project brief

Become a working software engineer.

A project-based bootcamp run like a real engineering team: small cohorts, real tools, real code review, and a working product at the end — not a certificate for sitting through videos.

acceptance criteria
  • Shipped a real project end-to-end, not a tutorial clone
  • Worked in a small team with real code review
  • Comfortable across the stack you trained on, not just copying snippets
How It Works

A real board. A real cohort. A real stack.

The curriculum isn't a week-by-week syllabus — it's the same board a working engineering team runs on. Your tickets move left to right as you actually ship them.

Who It's For

Open This PR If —

A checklist, not a paragraph — so you can tell in ten seconds whether this is for you.

[ ] You've never shipped a real project, and you want to change that.
[ ] You learn faster by building than by watching another tutorial.
[ ] You want real code review, not just a passing grade.
[ ] You're ready to work in a small team, not go it alone.
graduate stories: coming soon

Our first cohort hasn't shipped yet — real stories go here once they do.

Questions

Before You Apply

The things people usually ask before opening a ticket.

What is Zoneer Academy, exactly?

A project-based software engineering bootcamp — small cohorts, real projects, and real code review, the same way our own engineering team works. Not a set of pre-recorded lectures.

Do I need coding experience to apply?

It depends on the cohort. The application conversation is where we figure out where you're starting from and whether it's the right fit — not a hard requirement listed on this page.

How much does it cost?

We don't publish a number here — cost depends on the cohort and format, and we'd rather walk you through it directly than have you guess from a webpage. Ask us when you apply.

How long does it run?

It's built around shipping a real project end-to-end rather than a fixed lecture calendar, so length varies by cohort. We'll walk you through the actual schedule during your application.

What happens after I apply?

A short conversation, not a binding agreement. If it's a fit, we'll walk you through the actual program details before anything is final.

Will I have a real project to show afterward?

Yes — that's the point. The program's own acceptance criteria is shipping something real, not collecting a certificate.
