Coding doesn’t come easy to most, and we strongly recommend you try some free coding assessments or watch videos on coding before you decide to embark on a career.
However, our students all embrace the challenge of learning to code, with the aim of becoming a junior developer at the end of the course and the earning potential of £30,000.
Coders can work across a multitude of industries, in large development teams or on a freelance basis. Whatever your personality and working style, there’s a coding role for you. Because technology is always changing, if you crave learning new things and love the satisfying feeling when you’ve ticked a task off your list, then this is the role for you.
