boot camps

Grueling orientation programs

Boot camps are intensive, short-term training programs designed to build skills quickly through rigorous instruction.

The term comes from military basic training facilities, where recruits undergo physical and mental conditioning.

Now it extends to civilian programs: coding boot camps, fitness boot camps, weight-loss boot camps.

The approach emphasizes immersion and discipline over gradual learning.
