These four-day bootcamps (4 hours/day) are designed to get you across the finish line on your certification exam. Each session picks up where your coursework left off, focusing specifically on exam objectives that aren’t covered in class. You’ll review key concepts, work through practice questions, and get direct access to instructors who know the exam inside and out.
Bootcamps are available for:
• CompTIA Tech+
• CompTIA A+
• CompTIA Network+
• CompTIA Security+
• AWS Certified Solutions Architect
• Azure Fundamentals
• Cisco CCNA
• Python Coding – Design Pattern Project
Prerequisite coursework must be completed before attending. See the schedule table above for details.
New to IT certifications and not sure where to start? This single-session bootcamp gives you a clear overview of the certification landscape, including what the exams are, how they’re structured, and how to build a study plan that works. No prerequisites required, so anyone can attend.
This two-day coding bootcamp is for students who have completed ASD101B and are ready to put their Python skills to work. You’ll apply design patterns in a hands-on project format, building something real rather than just reviewing theory. More details on the project specifics are coming soon — check back for an updated description before registering.
As one of the newest workshops in the lineup, CIAT’s AI Productivity Workshop is open to all students — no prerequisites needed. This single-session workshop is focused on the practical side of working with AI: how to write better prompts, how to evaluate different tools, and how to actually get useful results in an academic and professional context. If you’ve been using AI tools and wondering whether you’re getting the most out of them, this session is worth your time.
This workshop introduces students to the basics of artificial intelligence in healthcare and its applications. Students learn what AI is in plain language, how it has evolved across the healthcare system, where it is being used today by providers and payers. They will learn what ethical and practical considerations shape its responsible use. The session closes with a guided case study on claims automation so students can see AI at work in a real healthcare workflow.
All bootcamps and workshops are listed on the CIAT Events Calendar.
