Skipping a bootcamp

In extremely rare instances, WARG will grant permission for a bootcamper to skip completion of a subteam bootcamp. If you feel that you have completed a project requiring higher skill level than the bootcamp and would like to be exempt from the bootcamp, you can contact a subteam lead to explain and show them the project you have done. It will be up to the subteam lead’s discretion whether you qualify to be exempt from the bootcamp. If the subteam lead feels that you should still complete the bootcamp, it is because they think you can learn and gain skills from its completion. They may also ask you to complete a portion of the bootcamp instead of the entire bootcamp.
