Code Institute

The course seems to be more extensive than most other full stack bootcamps as you also learn the Django framework in order to deliver a website using full front and back end technologies. Although there is a lot covered in a short time, it is a useful... Read More course to learn a base level of all aspects of programming and you will also realise where you may need to improve your knowledge once it is over. Overall, I would recommend the course for anyone who has the appetite to learn, even if they are a complete beginner as ample support is available.

Pros: Quality content given the topic size and depth, they manage to get what you need to know in a small package that you can absorb The careers team are a huge benefit to your CV, knowledge of industry and care about you The course leaders and team... Read More respond extremely well to feedback on the content (So don't be afraid to say something might be wrong, out of date or too difficult) Cons/Little niggles: The 9-5. When you're learning from home, the bootcamp can feel a little restrictive due to mandatory stand up and stand downs, but otherwise you're left to your own devices. Qualification. You won't receive a university accredited qualification for passing the bootcamp. For that you must take the paid year long course. Hackathons. As they aren't marked and are all group work, you can encounter some students that haven't adapted to the pace of the course and struggle. Resulting in the final product being less than ideal (It happens!), but it's difficult when you want to potentially use that as projects to add to a professional CV. Overall, this bootcamp was amazing for the entry fee of nothing. I would highly recommend learning some other industry standard content like React, C# etc that are not covered as the course content won't guarantee you getting to interview ready, but rather that you're able to learn fast, know good code practice and have dabbled in some core coding languages so that you can go onto learning what recruiters/businesses need far easier than starting out by yourself.

I had a fantastic experience with Code Institute. The organisation handled everything with a degree of professionalism, and the course progressed smoothly. Issues were well handled, and successes were due to the quality of the curriculum. Pros Fantastic... Read More support resources and services for students. Flexible approach to learning with fully online service. Cons Content delivery quality varies between sections, some are better paced and more developed while others are poorly condensed.

Pros: The Learning Management System is a great resource The facilitator, coding coaches, and other Code Institute teams we were involved with were really on point with their help and advice. Slack community is great and really helpful. Other students... Read More were a lovely bunch of people from a wide variety of backgrounds. Cons: I wish the course could have been longer, not so long that Stockholm Syndrome kicks in, but another couple of weeks here and there wouldn't have hurt. Try the 5-Day Challenge and get an idea if coding is for you, then wade in!!

I signed up to Code Institute to get some practical experience of working on real applications (my studies up to that point involved basic projects) and to update my skill set with the latest technology. The course tasked me with completing five projects... Read More that reflected real world commercial applications. I was assessed in a number of areas including source control and coding style which were a huge help to me as it gave me the discipline required to enter the professional environment. My tutor was with me every step of the way and as well as introducing me to the latest technologies, I was given great advice on upcoming technologies that would be useful in my portfolio. Code Institute have a very community driven approach which encourages students to collaborate and build confidence. It was this community approach that helped me land my dream job.

As a graduate of Code Institute's Full Stack Developer Programme with specialisation in Machine Learning, I can't help but express my profound gratitude and admiration for the incredible experience I've had over the past year. From the meticulously organised... Read More curriculum to the vibrant community that has become an integral part of my journey, Code Institute has truly exceeded all expectations. First and foremost, I must commend Code Institute for their exceptional course structure. Throughout the program, every aspect was carefully crafted to ensure a comprehensive understanding of full-stack development. The modules were not only informative but also highly engaging, making learning both enjoyable and effective. With a perfect blend of theory and hands-on practice, I felt well-equipped to tackle real-world challenges upon graduation, and the great part is that you can complete the course at your own peace, online. However, what truly sets Code Institute apart is the sense of belonging fostered within its community. Even a year after completing the course, I find myself actively participating in the Monthly Hackathons—a testament to the lasting impact of the friendships and connections formed during my time at Code Institute. Winning first place in several of these Hackathons was undoubtedly a highlight, but the real prize lies in the opportunity to give back. Being approached by fellow community members to join the Hackteam was an honour beyond words. Today, I am deeply involved in organising and facilitating these events, as well as serving as a judge for the remarkable projects that emerge. Being part of such an amazing community has been nothing short of life-changing for me. The support, camaraderie, and continuous learning opportunities have not only enriched my professional journey but also enriched my personal growth in ways I never imagined. It's more than just a boot camp; it's a family—one that I'm immensely proud to be a part of. To anyone considering Code Institute, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the leap. The skills you'll acquire and the connections you'll make are invaluable. Trust me, you won't regret it. Thank you, Code Institute, for everything. - Vasi
