I recently completed TechSwitch's full-stack bootcamp, and I have to say, it was a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to retrain or get back into software development. The curriculum was hands-on and up-to-date... Read More with industry standards, covering a range of essential technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Typescript, Express, React, C#, ASP.NET... There is also an emphasis on developing language-agnostic skills, to enable students to work across different tech stacks. A lot of ground to be covered in 12 weeks and therefore, fast-paced and intense course but also incredibly rewarding. The support provided throughout was exceptional, whether it was technical, personal, or career-related. The team at TechSwitch is invested in your success, and it shows. Overall, I had an excellent experience and I give TechSwitch a big thumbs up!

I am returning to a career in IT after a long career break and with very outdated technical skills. Techswitch has been an excellent course both in terms of technical knowledge and support and mentoring. The trainers are fantastic and the projects are... Read More interesting and relevant.

While 12 weeks seemed like a short amount of time, I came out the other end happy with the knowledge and support I received. Being able to work on group projects...

The transition from finishing the bootcamp, to interviewing for roles has been a standout for me. Navigating this on my own would have been very difficult, so having people who were actively advocating for interviews for me was something I really appreciated.

I also had a lot of support with writing my cv and biography as well as answering interview questions. We even had two mock interviews and feedback for each. In terms of coding, I learned JavaScript (React, Typescript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap) as well as C#/.NET as the backend technology. Throughout the quite intense course support, reassurance and feedback from TechSwitch team were excellent! I can't praise them enough!

TechSwitch has a strong emphasis on teaching you how to be software engineers rather than teaching you how to code in a particular language. We did fun exercises in JavaScript/ TypeScript/ C#/ React/ Express/ SQL/ EF... It was fairly intense but so rewarding....
