Start your career as a software developer

Our online courses teach a tried-and-tested curriculum tailored to assure students graduate as well-rounded software developers. Using real-world tools, students learn from some of the country’s top instructors.

RETRAIN AROUND YOUR JOB

Transition from a beginner – with no prior coding experience – to a job-ready Software Engineer in 24 weeks on our Software Engineer programme.

We spend a lot of time asking companies what specific skills they look for and design our live, remote curriculum to include learning activities that help you master each key skill.

In this course, we will cover:

Prework

To make sure they can dedicate the required 20 hours a week to complete the course, we ask potential students to complete some prework on our platform before starting the bootcamp.

Phase 1

Students start with front end development learning about the DOM and how to make websites with HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Bootstrap, a front-end framework.

Our students also learn about UX, peripheral technologies, TDD, OOP and testing front-end applications.

Phase 2

Students learn React and how to use Redux, Express and Node.js to run code for the back end, and focus on ways of dealing with asynchronous programming.

Students also learn APIs and Databases.

Phase 3

Phase 3 is where students learn technologies outside the curriculum, such as PHP, Laravel, AWS and Azure.

Students then work together on a final project of their choosing using Agile principles to get hands on with a real, green-field team project. There’s no better way to consolidate and extend your knowledge and prove what you can do.
