Sunsetting of the JetBrains Teacher Pack for Bootcamps

Summary

JetBrains is sunsetting the Teacher Pack for Bootcamps, citing the expansion of separate education programs for teachers, students, classrooms, and independent learners. Bootcamps can submit one final application by September 30, 2026, at 11:59 pm CET; applications will no longer be accepted from October 1. Approved applications submitted by the deadline receive one final set of student coupons valid for up to six months, while previously issued coupons and instructor IDE access remain active until their expiration dates, with no additional coupons or free instructor access after October 1. The program will be fully retired on April 1, 2027, when all bootcamp-provided coupons will have expired and the graduation discount will end; alternatives include Teacher Packs for accredited institutions, the Course Creators Program, the Student Pack, and free or non-commercial IDE options.

Context

JetBrains says expanded education offerings now support different teaching and learning scenarios, making a separate bootcamp program unnecessary.

Approach / What changed

The program will close through a staged timeline: final applications are accepted through September 30, 2026, existing access continues until expiration, and the program retires on April 1, 2027. JetBrains directs educators, course creators, students, and others to alternative education programs or free IDE options.

Takeaways

• September 30, 2026, at 11:59 pm CET is the final application deadline; no new applications will be accepted from October 1, 2026.
• Approved bootcamps receive one final set of student coupons valid for up to six months. Existing coupons remain valid until expiration, but no additional coupons will be issued after October 1.
• Alternative access includes Teacher Packs for accredited institutions, the Course Creators Program, the Student Pack, and free or non-commercial use of selected JetBrains IDEs.
