You Start Building

Orientation, live mentors, real projects, and a cohort of driven people on the same mission.

Cohort start date

24 weeks from zero
to job-ready. Here's how.

Every phase is designed with one goal — making you someone a hiring manager wants to call back.

🧠
Phase 1  ·  Weeks 1–18

Intensive Mentored Training

This is where the foundation gets built — and built properly. You'll work through the full AI Full Stack curriculum under direct mentor guidance. No pre-recorded videos and hope for the best. Live sessions, real feedback, and accountability every step of the way.

You'll build individual projects across every layer of the stack — frontend, backend, databases, APIs, and AI integrations — so your portfolio reflects real work, not classroom exercises.

Live mentorship Real projects AI & full stack Weekly accountability Interview prep begins Week 8
🏗️
Phase 2  ·  Weeks 19–24

Large-Scale Group Project

This is what most bootcamps skip — and it's where real developers are made. You'll collaborate with your cohort to build a production-grade application from scratch: scoping, architecture, sprints, code reviews, and deployment.

This project becomes the centrepiece of your resume. It shows employers you can work in a team, ship under pressure, and communicate technically. That's exactly what gets you hired.

Team collaboration Production-grade build Agile workflow Resume-ready portfolio
🎓
Graduation  ·  Week 24

Project Demo & Graduation

Your cohort presents the group project to an audience of employers, mentors, and industry guests. This isn't ceremonial — it's a live audition. Graduates who perform well often receive direct interest from attending companies.

You'll leave with a complete portfolio, a certificate of completion, and a reference from your mentor.

Live demo day Employer audience Certificate & mentor reference
🏢
Post-Graduation  ·  Up to 3 months

Internship Opportunity

After graduation, qualifying students receive a part-time internship placement with a real company. This is unpaid, but it's worth more than almost anything else on your resume at this stage — because it's real experience, with a real team, solving real problems.

Many students receive job offers directly from their internship host, or get hired within weeks of completing it because they now have professional experience alongside their portfolio.

Real company Part-time, flexible Goes on your resume Often leads to job offer
💼
The outcome  ·  Within 3 months of graduation

Most students get hired here.

The data is clear — the majority of our graduates receive their first job offer within 3 months of completing the course. With a strong portfolio, internship experience, interview prep, and our ongoing placement support, you go into the job market better prepared than most developers with a 3-year degree.

And if you're still searching after that — we're still working with you. No time limit.

This program has one goal: get you a job. If that's what you're after, let's talk.

Is this program right for you?

We'd rather tell you this isn't the right fit than take your money and not deliver. Read both columns carefully.

This IS for you if…
  • You're serious about getting a tech job — not just "exploring coding"
  • You're willing to put in 15-20 hours a week for 6 months
  • You want real mentorship, not another YouTube playlist
  • You're an IT student, recent graduate, or career switcher with transferable drive
  • You want to work in Australia's tech market within the next 6–12 months
  • You're ready to be held accountable and pushed beyond your comfort zone
🚫
This is NOT for you if…
  • You have no interest in staying current with programming, software and AI development — this industry moves fast and so do we
  • You expect a job offer after doing the minimum required
  • You're not ready to commit serious time each week alongside the program
  • You want a certificate to frame on a wall, not a career to build
  • You're hoping AI will replace the need to learn fundamentals
  • You're looking for a shortcut — 24 weeks is already fast; shortcuts produce gaps

Still think this is for you? Good. That's the mindset we work with.

The curriculum. Built for
what employers are hiring for today.

No filler. No outdated content. Every module maps to a real job requirement in the Australian market.

Software engineer, founder, and educator. Prem built Dented Code Academy after years of seeing talented people get passed over in Australian tech — not because they couldn't code, but because they hadn't been prepared for how hiring actually works. He's shipped real products, made real hiring decisions, and built this curriculum around what actually gets people employed.

🖥️What are the different ways I can join the program?
+
We offer four ways to learn — so you can pick what fits your schedule and lifestyle.

In-Person (Sydney) — Attend live at our Rockdale campus. Best for people who want full immersion, face-to-face mentorship, and a structured environment.

Live Online Class — Join our scheduled sessions in real time from anywhere in Australia. Same curriculum, same interaction, no commute.

Interactive Zoom Class — Structured sessions via Zoom with live Q&A, screen sharing, and direct mentor access. Flexible for those balancing work or study.

Fast Track — An accelerated format for people who can dedicate more hours per week and want to compress the timeline.

Not sure which is right for you? We'll help you figure it out on your free strategy call.
💰How much does it cost?
+
We offer different program tracks based on your experience, goals, and the level of support you need. Our Fast Track Job Ready Program starts from $3,995. Our flagship AI Full Stack Bootcamp is discussed on your call — we want to make sure you understand exactly what you're getting before you see a number. Everything is transparent: no hidden fees, no pressure. Payment plans are available for all programs.
🎓Do I need a coding background?
+
No. We take students from zero coding experience. The curriculum starts from foundations and builds up to production-ready AI full stack development. What matters more than prior knowledge is your commitment level and your motivation to get hired.
⏱️How long does the full program take?
+
The core program is 24 weeks — 16–18 weeks of intensive mentored training followed by a 6–8 week large-scale group project. After graduation, you have the option of a part-time internship for up to 3 months. Most students receive a job offer within 3 months of completing the course. And if you need more time, our ongoing support continues until you land the role.
🆚How is this different from a university degree or self-study?
+
University gives you theory. Self-study gives you tutorials. We give you a job. The difference is real mentored projects, a large-scale team build, mock interviews with genuine feedback, an internship, and placement support from people who know the Australian market. A degree takes 3–4 years. We do this in 6 months.
🛡️What if it doesn't work for me?
+
We offer a 7-day full money-back for online students and a 14-day full refund for in-person students (minus a $250 admin fee). Beyond that, our Skills Guarantee means we keep working with you until your skills meet industry standard — no extra cost. And our Job Support continues until you're hired. We don't win unless you do.

Your success is our success.

When you land the job, we've done our job. Every commitment below backs that up.
