Treehouse offers one of the most affordable and flexible coding bootcamp experiences available online. The Treehouse Techdegree programs cost $199 per month—a fraction of traditional coding bootcamps that often charge $10,000 or more. Unlike in-person bootcamps with rigid schedules, Techdegree is 100% online and completely self-paced, allowing you to learn whenever and wherever fits your lifestyle.

Five Techdegree programs are available: Front End Web Development, Full Stack JavaScript, Python Development, Data Analysis, and UX Design. Each culminates in a proctored final exam and a certificate of completion that verifies your skills.

With Techdegree, you can work through a structured curriculum that includes video courses, workshops, interactive quizzes, code challenges, and real-world projects for your professional portfolio. Many students complete their Techdegree in 3-6 months by dedicating just a few hours per day to their studies. Whether you're balancing a full-time job, family responsibilities, or other commitments, Treehouse's flexible learning model adapts to your schedule—not the other way around.

Treehouse also offers more accessible entry points: the Courses plan at $25/month and Courses Plus at $49/month for learners who want to explore coding before committing to a full bootcamp program.
