We help place graduates from this programme in top UK companies and organisations needing to employ entry-level software development staff that can hit the ground running with up-to-date skills gained from this programme.
The best part is you will not need any previous experience as fully accredited training, which includes tutor support and mentoring, provides you with the skills, practical knowledge, and qualifications for you to secure a professional job and career in coding. You will also have the reassurance of a job guarantee (£25K-£40K) upon completion.
Whether you are working full-time, part-time or are unemployed, this package has the flexibility to be completed at a pace that suits you and can be completed in a few weeks or a few months (step 1 to 4 below). Your job and career goals are completed in four simple steps.
