Take a Look Inside Our Curriculum:

Recruitment Process

Every candidate must undergo an intensive and strict screening process designed to find the most talented and driven individuals. Our in-house psychologists and talent acquisition specialists lead this phase to guarantee that only the most promising, curious, willing to learn, and strongly committed candidates enroll in our program.

Online Tutorial

If accepted into the program, you must complete a pre-work module before the first day of class to get you up to speed on basic technical concepts.

Foundations

The first six weeks will introduce web programming and OutSystems development fundamentals.
Our program gives significant relevance to the theory of software development, not focusing solely on teaching you to code. Thus, ensuring that you develop critical thinking and sound logical reasoning skills, are both so crucial toward becoming successful software developers in any language or professional setting. You will learn the foundations of web development: HTML and CSS, Relational Databases, and Programming and algorithms basics.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to apply the learned web development concepts in a simple first OutSystems project. At this point, you will be able to fully grasp the particularities of programming on the OutSystems Platform.
Our instructors will guide you in learning to develop an application end-to-end: from the UI to client and server logic and data modeling and everything else in between.

Consolidation

In this phase, you will implement a two-week project carefully designed to consolidate and practice the previously-learned concepts. The project follows an Agile Methodology with daily scrum meetings and weekly demos. You will also attend master classes covering other competencies like Architecture, development best practices, and OutSystems Management tools.

Mastering

Now is the time to wrap up everything you've learned. You will get to apply all the skills accumulated throughout the program in a real-world project working in small teams with the instructor as the Project's Tech Lead.
The methodology followed will once again be the Agile approach, with daily scrum meetings and weekly demonstrations of the implemented solution.
By the end of the project, you will be capable of building a complete simple project in OutSystems, working in an enterprise environment, and presenting the developed solution to the stakeholders.
As a final catch-up, there will be one last class to thoroughly review all the assimilated concepts of web development.

Agile Methodology

OutSystems has developed its own flavor of Agile Methodology designed to address the specific needs of development teams working with low-code to maximize the platform's benefits. Throughout the program, you will learn how to work on projects following the OutSystems approach, but you can later quickly adapt to whichever methodology is being used in the projects you will work on.

Human Skills

As essential as learning all the tech skills to become a software developer is ensuring that you also know how to communicate and interact in an enterprise setting. Throughout the 12 weeks of our program, you will regularly have sessions with our coaches to help you develop your human skills. We will work on skills like:

  • Communication
  • Professionalism
  • Presentation
  • Being a Team Player
  • Problem Solving
  • Attention to Detail
  • Time Management

Post-Training

By now, you have successfully completed the program and the OutSystems Reactive Developer Certification.
You have been through our immersive, intensive, and market-relevant curriculum and are job-ready and eager to be placed in real-world projects.
The next step is to set you up for interviews with organizations that match your profile and vice-versa. When you succeed, you will be placed there for a trial period of 6, 9, or 12 months with great chances to be fully integrated after that.
Additionally, during this trial period, our coaches will support you with any technical challenges you might face.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I get first contact with OutSystems, to see if I like it?

We recommend enrolling in our free workshop, "Build an OutSystems App in 1 Hour", led by one of our instructors. This lets you quickly understand how the platform works and its capabilities.

What prerequisites must I fulfill to apply to Turn Up Boot Camp?

The Turn Up Boot Camp is an introductory OutSystems programming boot camp, so there are no prerequisites. However, it is recommended that candidates have an intermediate level of English and good logical and mathematical reasoning skills.

Do I need any previous experience or knowledge in the IT area?

No. However, it is recommended that candidates have an intermediate level of English and good logical and mathematical reasoning skills.

I already have a background in computer science. Is it worth doing the boot camp?

Yes. Although the training content is the same for everyone, our boot camp is suitable for trainees with different levels of knowledge and at various learning paces. Trainees with above-average results may complete the boot camp earlier if they pass the final technical and human skills interviews.

Do I need to know English?

Yes, English language skills are essential for both training and subsequent integration into the labor market. Our candidates should have at least an intermediate level of English.

How does the admission process work?

To be admitted to Turn Up Boot Camp, candidates must go through a 4-stage admission process:

  1. Online logical and mathematical reasoning assessment
  2. Development of a simple web application in OutSystems, following the steps of an official OutSystems tutorial
  3. Group challenge
  4. Individual face-to-face interview (partly in English)

Additionally, before moving on to the 2nd phase of the process, attending an Info Session about the Turn Up Boot Camp is mandatory.

What is the first exercise of the admission process?

The first step of the recruitment process is a 45-minute online test to assess logical and mathematical reasoning skills.

What does the app development exercise consists of?

The second step of our admission process is developing a very simple web platform in OutSystems following the step-by-step of an official OutSystems tutorial. The goal is for candidates to have first contact with the platform, to understand how it works and it's potential.

What is assessed in the group challenge?

The third step of our process is a group challenge. In small groups, with our team present, the candidates are given a problem to solve together. At this stage, the goal is to evaluate group interaction.

What is the final individual interview of the admission process?

The last step of the Turn Up Boot Camp recruitment process is an individual interview. The goal of this interview is for our team to get to know the candidate better by assessing their motivation, goals, professional and academic background, and level of English. At this stage, the candidate will also have the opportunity to ask questions about the Boot Camp.

Can I apply again later if I am not selected for the Boot Camp?

Yes. If an applicant is excluded from the recruitment process for any Turn Up Boot Camp class, they can always reapply in a future edition. There is no maximum number of applications that can be submitted. However, candidates can only apply once in each edition.

How can I clarify questions I have before or during the recruitment process?

Our admissions team is always available to answer questions from our candidates. You can get in touch via email at talent@itup.io

Is the Boot Camp on-site?

Yes, to enhance learning. The on-site format is the most appropriate since the spirit of sharing and mutual help among trainees is much greater.

Where does the Boot Camp take place?

Turn Up Boot Camp takes place at ITUp’s office in Linda-a-Velha.

Are the classes in English?

The classes are in Portuguese.

How many weeks is the Boot Camp?

Turn Up Boot Camp lasts 12 weeks. However, if you excel and we have job opportunities available, you may finish earlier.

What is the class schedule?

Classes are held Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 6 pm (with many extra commitment hours).

What is the class size?

Class size varies depending on the Turn Up Boot Camp edition, but we try to have a maximum of 12 trainees per class to ensure a good follow-up from the instructor.

Who are the instructors?

ITUp is lucky to have onboard exceptional members of the OutSystems community. Our team of instructors comprises 6 OutSystems MVPs (Most Valuable Professionals) and 2 OutSystems Champions Instructors.

What is Ready Up, and how many hours must I dedicate to this introductory module?

Ready Up is an introductory module consisting of 35 hours of online work before the classroom training begins, mandatory for all candidates admitted to the Turn Up Boot Camp. This module aims to familiarize you with some basic concepts of programming and OutSystems so that you can start the training and get the best out of it.

Is it possible to conciliate the Boot Camp with other obligations (work/study)?

Although we can’t say it’s impossible, due to the very intensive and demanding work and learning pace of this Boot Camp, it is pretty challenging to conciliate it with other parallel activities.

Can I quit the training contract at any time?

If a trainee withdraws from the training contract, they will have to reimburse ITUp for the total cost of the course, for an amount of 7000€ for residents in Portugal.

What professional title will I have at the end of the Boot Camp?

At the end of the Boot Camp, our trainees can adopt the professional title of OutSystems Junior Developer.

Will ITUp help me find a job at the end of the boot camp?

Yes, at the end of the boot camp, ITUp will look for a job for you from our network of hiring partners. Our employability rate is currently at 93%.

Upon completion of the academy, do I have to work for a company chosen by ITUp?

The investment in the training of our candidates is made with the expectation that upon successful completion of the boot camp, the trainee will be able to reciprocate this investment. ITUp does everything in its power to support the trainee in this process and find the best job offer, which will be subject to a work contract with a contractual clause that obliges the trainee to stay with the company for one year. If a trainee accepts a job offer that ITUp does not provide, they will have to reimburse us for the cost of training.

Can ITUp guarantee me a job?

Although we do our best to integrate our graduates into the labor market through our network of hiring partners, ITUp cannot guarantee employment. Even so, the Turn Up Boot Camp currently has an employability rate of 93%.

Is it possible to work remotely after the Boot Camp?

Not all ITUp partner companies have remote or hybrid work policies, which may vary within the company according to the project to which the trainee is assigned. ITUp can only guarantee placements in the Greater Lisbon area. The candidates must be available to work on-site if that is the company’s policy or the project they are allocated to.

Does ITUp help me get a visa?

Turn Up Boot Camp is aimed at candidates who are in Portugal, either national or foreign, as long as they have a residence visa. This is a mandatory requirement for signing the work contract at the end of the training. However, ITUp cannot provide any visa for work or study. You can find more information about the visas required to stay in Portugal here.
