Coding and software development courses in Illinois
66 coding and software programs with results and funding that can make them free
37 schools offer these software development programs, and Illinois has approved every one for workforce funding. Each shows how past students did; Illinois files no usable prices.
Computer programmers write, change and test the code that makes software and apps work. Most have a bachelor's degree, but some employers hire people with other training or experience in specific programming languages, and programmers can get certified in a language.1
In Illinois, 11 of the 66 programs take students without a high school diploma, 11 ask for a diploma or equivalent and 44 ask for earlier courses first.
By kind, the 66 programs here are software or app development certificate (20 programs), programming or software development (associate degree, 19 programs), programming language or developer tool course (13 programs), coding bootcamp (5 programs), and 9 more of 3 other kinds.

Where the Illinois software development program numbers come from
Which Illinois software development programs are on this list?
These are the software development programs Illinois approved for WIOA funding (public workforce funding under the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act), as reported to the US Department of Labor for program year 2024 (July 2024 to June 2025). Each state keeps its approved programs on an eligible training provider list (ETPL).9 The list here covers programs approved as of June 30, 2025. Schools that never applied for approval are missing, so this is a part of what Illinois offers.
How the prices and results of Illinois software development programs are measured
Prices are tuition and required fees for someone paying without workforce funding, as the school reported them; check the current price with the school. Results describe students who left each program in recent years, so they are no guarantee, and the yearly earnings are the reported quarter times four, an estimate. A program without a "Trained with WIOA funding" line may still take WIOA students. Where a field was left empty or withheld, the page says "Not reported", and "Left out" where a figure was filed but failed one of our checks; nothing is estimated to fill a gap. Where the numbers come from explains each figure in full.
How reliable are the Illinois figures?
The US Department of Labor's own results site lists Illinois among the states with "known data quality concerns".10 We leave out the share who finished for Illinois: only a few programs report it, and those at a typical 11%. We leave out prices for Illinois: the state files a code in place of each price, so no price can be shown.
