The Jump

Before discovering The Jump, I considered teaching myself software engineering while working full-time, which seemed like a daunting and slow process. However, after speaking with Rob and the team, I made one of the best decisions of my life: I enrolled... Read More in The Jump’s part-time full stack software engineering course. And I’ve never looked back.
The curriculum is designed in such a way that it breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps, unlocking more advanced topics as you progress. It’s a much faster and more structured way to learn than I could have achieved on my own. The course focuses on JavaScript and React, two of the most versatile and in-demand technologies in the industry, which made me feel confident about my job prospects.
What made The Jump invaluable to me was the level of support. Whenever I needed extra help outside of class, the team was always available for additional Zoom calls to work through any challenges. The career support after the course was just as valuable. I even had a mock interview with James, which really helped me prepare for real interviews.
The team are clearly 100% dedicated to helping you succeed and have put a lot of work into designing a top notch syllabus to help you succeed in your new career path.

After completing The Jump course, I secured a software developer job in Canada, and I’m thrilled to be starting my new career path!

Before enrolling on The Jump’s part-time Software Engineering bootcamp, I had been considering a career change for several years. When I finally decided to make the move, after eyeing up the options, I was practically decided and had actually been offered... Read More a fully-funded place on a full-time Brainstation bootcamp but after talking to Rob - one of the co-founders - I felt that as a small family business, The Jump would care more about my learning and success than a big company where I'd just be a number. From the start, it felt like they cared about us as people rather than just another student in a huge bootcamp. Rob also recommended that I consider the part-time bootcamp, as it would allow me to get more out of the program by giving me more time to go into each topic in depth, and this was certainly the case.

I completed the 30 week course while working and it was pretty full-on. I personally could have used a break part way through, as by the time we reached the backend section of the course my brain was overflowing with new concepts but luckily all the classes are recorded so I was able to revisit anything I needed to whenever I wanted. On top of that my instructor, Russell, was an excellent teacher, as well as being very approachable and always open to a 1-on-1 call to help with anything we needed. I should also say that on Russell’s suggestion, my peers set up a WhatsApp group and a Discord where we could help each other through problems and share tips, which was another source of support.
The Jump also offers strong career support, including an industry-appropriate CV rewrite, career change advice, interview tips, and guidance on dealing with recruiters, based on Rob's recruitment experience. They also provided practice interviews and teacher support for 1-on-1s after the course, supporting me to find a job.

Even after finishing the course, The Jump remained approachable and supportive. It took me a while to get my first role due to personal reasons and a tricky market after mass layoffs. When I was made redundant from my first job after less than 6 months, I received a below market-rate offer for a new role elsewhere and Rob helped me negotiate a better offer - over a year after finishing the course!

I completed the Part-Time DevOps course. I'd spent about a year considering whether to do this course, and I'm so glad I took 'the jump'. I took this course on to extend my software engineering skillset and become a more rounded developer by having a... Read More good understanding of DevOps. The course was fast paced, exciting and great to go through. The curriculum is specifically designed and built in a way to mimic a real world environment, being presented with actual challenges to learn about and solve. Anto, the instructor was excellent and has significant experience from the field which he was able to fully bring to the course. 2 sessions a week with homework in between was stretching, and achievable.

The Jump was the perfect place for me to go from a coding beginner to a professional web developer. I did the part time course, as the lessons fit perfectly around my job, and they gave out enough tasks to keep me busy in the days we had off. When learning... Read More a new topic my instructor, James, would take us through the theoretical side first, and then provide multiple examples which we could code along with. The topics were broad and in-depth, with specific up-to-date technologies included for each one. After the course, I received great support while looking for a job, and secured a position within 6 months. I would highly recommend The Jump as they will provide excellent and relevant information, as well as great support for your learning.

I can't thank Rob, Russell, James and Katie enough for their help in my journey to becoming a software engineer. On my first call with Rob, he explained that he only wanted to progress my application if he felt it was a good fit for me. This really stood... Read More out to me as I was quite hesitant about spending so much money. But clearly they aren't just in this for the money. They care about whether or not the course is right for each student, and I felt the same care and attention throughout the rest of the course. This is a company that really cares about each and every student. I also want to especially commend Russell, my tutor. He's a fantastic teacher. He kept lessons light-hearted and fun while still being able to break down the complex topics to be easy to understand. And whenever I got stuck, or even if there was just a tech question I couldn't find the answer to on Google, he was always eager to hop on a zoom call and explain it to me. I would highly recommend this course. I've even recommended it to a close friend of mine who is currently considering a career change. If you're passionate about tech, then you can't go wrong with The Jump. 10/10

I really enjoyed my bootcamp at The Jump, and would highly recommend it to anyone passionate about coding and tech that wants to learn to a professional level. For a while I wasnt so sure if a bootcamp was right for me. I had taken a Frontend development... Read More course with General Assembly, plus a couple of Udacity and Udemy courses, but was mostly self taught and worked in the tech industry in a non coding role. I wasn’t sure about next steps to become a developer, and found research online had mixed and slightly elitist views on bootcamps, particularly looking at the bigger, more well known ones. What attracted me to The Jump was the curriculum, which focused on the most up to date and relevant tech, very reasonable course fees compared to other schools, and also that they sought to correct some of the negatives that come with larger bootcamps. From the first call with Rob, who is friendly and helpful, I knew that this was going to be a bootcamp that is focused on and cares about student development and outcomes. The Jump don’t pretend that their courses are a magic potion that will get you a job with no effort, but being a case of what you put in you get out. I took the part time course professional JavaScript + dev ops course, which was every Tuesday and Thursday for 24 weeks. It allowed me to keep my full time job and learn on the side. I definitely felt overwhelmed at various points, as I had to give up a lot of free time to a very challenging, but rewarding course. You definitely have to find your own rhythm of studying, attending lessons, building projects/side projects, and whatever feels right for you and your energy. My instructor Russell has over 20 years industry experience, and knows pretty much everything about any topic or tech. He cares deeply about your development, and always had time for me if I needed help. They also use the services of someone who helps transform developer social media profiles, helping you secure that first job. Rob himself gave lots of career support after the course, and was instrumental in me getting my first developer role, which took about 6 weeks from when I started solidly applying to getting the offer. All in all, every developer has a different journey, but The Jump is definitely key to unlocking potential.
