As of January 2021, we have updated our policy to make Bootcamps exclusive to TRSM students and alumni. Unfortunately, as a result, you will not be able to register for our events. 

We recommend that you continue to periodically check our website in future semesters to see if any new opportunities arise for the community.

As per the updated Business Career Hub Sign-Up-Show-Up Policy, you must cancel your ticket 24 hours in advance via the confirmation email. All TRSM undergraduate students who sign up for any event hosted by the Business Career Hub and do not show up without cancelling their tickets 24 hours before the event starts, will receive a strike. This policy can be found on the "Sign-Up-Show-Up Policy" tab located at the top of all Bootcamp registration pages. If you have any further questions or concerns, kindly connect with trsmcareers@torontomu.ca.

If both the bootcamp tickets and waitlist spots are not available, please email us at trsmbootcamps@torontomu.ca with the name of the bootcamp and the date you would like to be added to the waitlist for. 

Please let us know by emailing trsmbootcamps@torontomu.ca and indicate which Bootcamp and date you attended.

General Badges (Marketing and User Centric Design) require you to attend all required Bootcamps to earn the Badge only. There are no work submissions as this badge reflects participation by attendance only. 

For Badge 2.0, you are required to successfully complete the Bootcamp Challenge. The badge 2.0 reflects participants' ability to solve a Bootcamp Challenge activity to demonstrate their understanding of concepts from our programming. It is strongly recommended that participants complete all levels but no longer a requirement to earn the Badge 2.0.

No, you are not required to attend all levels. Successful Challenge completion is the only requirement. 

However, we strongly encourage you to attend all levels to ensure you have an understanding on the topics connected to the Challenge.

Participants who register for a Bootcamp Challenge will receive Challenge details five (5) days prior the challenge date. Once completed, they must submit their work during the Challenge event where they will have the opportunity to see general solutions/expectations and ask questions.

You may be encouraged to re-attend specific levels through our Facilitator’s audit feedback if there were critical gaps observed. 

However, you are only required to re-sign up and successfully complete a Challenge to earn the Badge 2.0.

Yes, it is strongly recommended that participants complete all levels of the bootcamps before attending the challenge but it is no longer a requirement to earn the Badge 2.0.

You will have 5 days to complete the Challenge.

Registered accommodations students must reach out to the Bootcamp team, prior to signing up for an exam session to ensure we are able to meet all accommodation requirements. 

If you are unsuccessful and it is your first time attempting the exam, we will share any remaining exam sessions to sign up and retry the exam. Note: Please refer to our exam retake policy for additional details.
