Cirr.org.
Have you done any coding though?
Unfortunately some bootcamps sell this field as great for anyone to get into and make tons of money.
But it is very much not for everyone. I’d make sure you use some free resources to ensure you actually like it.

\+1 to making sure you have some basic coding skills before going to a bootcamp, even if they will accept you regardless.
I comment all the time about CIRR, because Codesmith people adamantly defend CIRR as the "mic drop" answer and I strongly believe anyone should look at many factors, INCLUDING CIRR.
Getting the highest salary out of a bootcamp is not necessarily better for your career. Getting a lower paying $100K apprenticeship at a top tier company is much better than a $125K job at an agency for example.

are there any apprenticeships that you would recommend? or keywords to search for them?

Basically the ones at top tier companies that pay fairly competitively and have a high chance of converting to a full role: Dropbox Ignite, Asana UP, Twitter, Twilio, Airbnb, Twitch, Microsoft Leap.

SwitchUp is a pro-bootcamp company that bootcamps pay to sponsor themselves on so it's not close to independent.
