Front-end developers create the look and feel of a website or application — manipulating colours, fonts, text fields, images, buttons and banners. They program these interfaces to create responsive, user-friendly, and interactive user experiences.
Back-end developers configure the servers and databases that power a website or application, working with other developers and designers to power the front-end of the website. Think of it as being the architect behind a beautifully-designed website or app.
Full-stack developers can build both the front and back ends of a website or app. Our web development program will give you all the skills you need to become a full-stack developer and sets you to be a lifelong effective, adaptive, and curious learner throughout your career.
If you want to launch your new career as a web developer as quickly as possible — opt for the Web Development Bootcamp. If you’re looking to balance your studies along with work, health and wellness, or caregiver duties — then Web Development Flex is the program for you.
But remember: the curriculum, the job outcomes, the objectives are all the same no matter which option you choose.
Every week, Web Development Bootcamp students attend five weekday lectures while dedicating an extra 50 hours to work on projects, assignments and course collaborations.
In contrast, those enrolled in the Web Development Flex Program are only required to attend two lectures a week. Students has the flexibility to attend daytime lectures or evening and weekend lectures. Students are also recommended to set aside an additional 25 hours every week to work on projects, assignments and course collaborations.
No previous coding education or experience is required to attend Lighthouse Labs.
JavaScript is the universal programming language of the web. You'll gain firsthand experience with Javascript and Node ecosystems, as well as modern tooling and libraries such as Babel and webpack.
Testing code manually can be tedious. Capable developers are expected to include automated tests along with the code that they write. We’ll teach you methodologies and best practices like test-driven development (TDD) and how to leverage tools like Mocha, Chai, Selenium and RSpec.
This dynamic duo of language & framework is one of the most widely used and polished modern technologies for web development. You will gain familiarity with Rails core concepts, like the MVC design pattern, and how to communicate with databases to persist data.
Relational and document databases are two of the prevailing paradigms used today. We’ll teach you to be comfortable with SQL, object-stores, and how to leverage ORMs like ActiveRecord for data persistence.
HTML and CSS are the building blocks of the modern web. You'll learn to create gorgeous responsive UIs for web apps, not only with HTML5 and CSS3 but also modern front-end tools like Babel and Webpack.
React JS has quickly become one of the most used JavaScript frameworks. While building a single-page application, you’ll discover a new way to think about structuring user interfaces by using components, one-way data flow and the Virtual DOM.
Understanding how software components should be organized is an essential skill for career growth as a developer. You'll learn software architecture by studying programming practices, from good database modeling to abstraction and well-encapsulated code, as well as modular design.
Computer science concepts like data transformation and algorithms help developers understand the theory of how computers and programs work. You’ll establish a solid foundation, giving you a stronger advantage in technical interviews and across your career.

Quels sont les taux d'emploi de vos diplômé(e)s?
Lighthouse Labs is committed to helping you build technical skills, grow your non-technical abilities, and land a job in tech—whether in cybersecurity, web development, data science, or data analytics. The demand for tech talent remains strong, with 300,000 new tech jobs created in Canada over the past six years and nearly 1.5 million tech workers today. While the job market has shifted, we continue to see our alumni launch incredible careers.

Est-ce que je recevrai un diplôme à la fin de mes études chez Lighthouse Labs?
While our philosophy isn’t based around credentials and instead seeks to set you up with the tools you need to be a lifelong effective, adaptive, and curious learner throughout your career — we do award Bootcamp and Flex Program digital diplomas upon graduation.
Quelle est votre politique de remboursement?
Lighthouse Labs est un établissement d'enseignement privé enregistré dans quatre provinces canadiennes. Afin de respecter les réglementations respectives de chaque province, nous avons quatre politiques de remboursement distinctes:
Politique de remboursement de bootcamp - Alberta
Politique de remboursement de bootcamp - Colombie-Britannique
Politique de remboursement de bootcamp - Ontario
Politique de remboursement des bootcamps - Québec
Politique de remboursement des cours à temps partiel
Quelle est la différence entre un Bootcamp et un programme Flex ?
Les bootcamps et les programmes flexibles couvrent le même matériel. Les étudiants des deux programmes se familiarisent avec les concepts et techniques de base du programme qu'ils ont choisi. La principale différence entre ces deux types de cours est leur structure. Un programme Flex est moins intense et se déroule sur une plus longue période. Ces deux programmes existent pour s'adapter à une plus grande variété de styles de vie, de priorités et de rythmes d'apprentissage préférés des étudiants, afin que ceux-ci puissent trouver un équilibre qui leur convienne sans compromettre la qualité.
What type of job can I expect to get after graduating from the Web Development Program?
The Web Development Program 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.
Will I get a job after the Web Development Program even if I have no prior background in coding or computer science?
Yes! You don’t need any experience in coding or computer science to succeed in our Web Development Program and be connected to employment afterwards. This program will provide you with everything you need to work as a professional web developer.
Can I enroll in the Web Development Program as an international student?
Yes! International students outside of Canada can apply. If you are already in Canada, you must obtain a study permit to enroll.
We require proof of English proficiency, which can be demonstrated through one of the following:
IELTS (minimum score of 6.0)
TOEFL (minimum score of 80)
Other equivalent recognized tests
Please note that Career Services is only available to students with a valid work visa allowing full-time employment in Canada for at least one year after graduation. Lighthouse Labs cannot provide or assist with visa applications.
Can I use provincial student aid towards programs at Lighthouse Labs?
Depending on your province and the program you are applying for, Provincial Student Aid may be available to you.
Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP):
• Web Development Immersive Bootcamp and Flex Program
• Data Science Immersive Bootcamp
• Cybersecurity Immersive Bootcamp
Student Aid Alberta:

Un programme Flex est-il plus facile qu'un Bootcamp ?
Ces programmes sont équivalents en termes de contenu. Pour certains, le programme plus intensif d'un Bootcamp peut être plus stimulant, mais pour d'autres, la période plus longue d'un programme Flex peut être plus difficile.
What’s the difference between Web Development Program and the Intro to Web Development part-time course?
The part-time course is an introductory overview of the components that comprise a full-stack web application. This course is great for individuals who are interested in increasing their knowledge about web development, or who work in roles adjacent to tech. The Web Development Program is a more in-depth look at web development, and will provide students with everything they need to kick-start a career as a professional developer.
Which of your programs and courses are eligible for Career Services?
Only Bootcamp and Flex Program students are eligible for Career Services.
Should I take the Bootcamp or the Flex Program?
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 Flex Program. This is also a great option if you’re a parent or caregiver with substantial childcare duties. If you want to get started with your new career as soon as possible, and don’t want to wait 30 weeks, the 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.
I'm not sure which program to take. How can I decide?
Your next career move should take your existing skills, interests, goals, and experiences into consideration. You already possess specific skills like problem-solving, creativity, or leadership that can be leveraged into your ideal tech career. All that's missing are the right tech skills: this is where Lighthouse Labs comes in, equipping you with the necessary tools to succeed. We put together the Tech Skills Quiz that aligns your abilities with the best tech career choice and which program to take to get there. Take the quiz today and discover your perfect tech career match.
