This isn’t just a coding course, it’s a new career

You’ll learn to code from day one, but you’ll also gain the confidence, mindset and support to break into tech and stay there.

Our 13-week Software Development Bootcamp in JavaScript gives you everything you need to become a full-stack developer, no experience required.

We cover both front-end and back-end development, teaching you to build real, responsive web applications using industry-standard tools and workflows.

But we go beyond code. You’ll also build:

  • Career connections that last a lifetime

  • Job-ready confidence through projects and pair programming

  • Problem-solving skills that employers look for

Whether you’re switching from retail, teaching, hospitality or something else, we’ll guide you every step of the way. From your first line of code to your first job offer.

What you’ll learn

Here’s what you’ll learn, step by step – from your first line of code to full-stack apps.

  • 400+ hiring partners
  • 9+ years of experience training software developers
  • Code

    Week 1

    Introduction Week

    Week 5-6

    Back-end

    In back-end development, you’ll design and build robust, real-world APIs. 

    You’ll follow popular REST standards and MVC architecture, creating powerful back-end systems that drive modern applications. 

  • Week 7

    Integration

    Connect the dots between back-end and front-end. You’ll serve static files, fetch real data from your API, and build dynamic web interfaces with accessibility in mind.

  • Project Meeting

    Week 10-12

    Project Phase

    Work in teams to build an innovative project. Past groups have tackled VR, ML, image recognition, and blockchain (see their projects here). This block also covers AI tools transforming learning and development, like GitHub Copilot for code completion and notebookLM for summarising white papers.

  • Week 13

    Careers and Consolidation

    In the final week of the coding bootcamp, students focus on careers support, including finalising CVs, tailoring applications, and preparing for interviews using AI tools like ChatGPT. You will explore job searching, networking, freelancing, and local industry insights, while also addressing imposter syndrome and planning their next steps post-graduation.

Job ready from day one

We teach what employers actually use, from HTML and CSS to JavaScript and real world tools like Git and APIs. Our expert led curriculum mirrors what you’ll see in the workplace, so you’ll graduate ready to hit the ground running.

Built around your career goals

Create a portfolio that stands out, with hands on projects and pair programming. Our Career Development team will help you craft CVs, prep for interviews, and connect with hiring partners. Everything you need to land your first role in tech.

Support from the moment you apply

Get started with free “Learn to Code” content even before the course begins. Once you're in, you’ll have access to live support from tutors, mentors and a community that’s with you every step of the way.

Learn JavaScript and grow beyond it

We teach JavaScript because it’s versatile, in demand, and beginner friendly. But that’s just the start. Many of our grads go on to work in Python, C#, Java, and more, thanks to the solid foundations we build together.
