Your education is our priority

Why Skill Distillery?

A content-rich Java-stack curriculum, shaped by decades of technical training and designed around the skills application development teams use.

2–3×more job opportunities than other bootcamps, from the award-winning “Java-Stack” curriculum — built on the 40,000+ developers parent company Batky-Howell has trained.

Built differently

Start with the work, then design the learning.

Choosing a bootcamp can be confusing. Skill Distillery worked backward from the skills employers hire for, creating a curriculum that joins enterprise back-end development with the modern browser stack.

The result is demanding by design. If you are looking only for the shortest or easiest route, it may not be the right fit. It is built for students ready to develop a broad, durable foundation.

“This course is challenging and very worth the effort. If you're the kind of person that picks your education for the challenge and quality of the curriculum, Skill Distillery is the right choice.”

Two languages, distinct strengths

Java and JavaScript are not the same thing.

They sound alike but solve different problems—more like “car” and “carpet.” The combination gives students experience across server-side applications and interactive browser experiences.

J

Java depth

A widely used language with a long track record in enterprise application development.

JS

JavaScript fluency

The core programming language of the browser and modern front-end frameworks.

+

Connected systems

REST, databases, and framework skills that connect interfaces to application logic.

The learning environment

Intensive training with human support.

01

Live instruction

Learn in real time and ask questions when the material gets difficult.

02

Small classes

Work in an environment designed for access to instructors and peers.

03

Practical repetition

Move from explanation to drills, labs, reviews, and projects.

04

Career preparation

Build the habits and professional tools needed for an active job search.

Who the program is for

New to programming. Serious about the work.

The program is designed for students with little to no programming experience who have done the research and want a Java foundation for their first job and continued growth.
