Jessie, from Architect to Software Engineer
I loved my experience at the Jump. I found that everyone at the Jump was incredibly supportive and had a lot of time for me.
I definitely couldn’t have got the job I ended up with without the Jump.
I would recommend anyone thinking about doing a bootcamp to arrange a call with Rob and find out about the Jump.

Kenan, from Civil Engineer to Software Engineer
The amount of stuff I learned is just outstanding. Employers are always super impressed by how much I know, and that's all thanks to the bootcamp.
Thanks to The Jump, I landed a well-paid job, and I would 100% recommend this to anyone thinking about a career in software engineering.
It's been a total game-changer for me, and I know it can be for you too!
Why choose a coding bootcamp with The Jump?
You'd be joining a family run school that's dedicated to helping you master the awesome power of tech and making the jump to where you want to be.
To make that happen:
— We keep our classes smaller than most schools, so we can give you as much 1-2-1 support as you need, rather than packing 150 onto a cohort to maximise shareholder returns.
— We make sure your instructors are senior developers with 15+ years of experience, so that we can train you in more depth, rather than using recent bootcamp graduates to keep costs down.
— We evolve our syllabuses to teach you in-demand tech, rather than churning out the same old syllabuses that teach stagnating tech, like Ruby.
— We offer lower tuition fees than most bootcamps, we offer part-time and full-time bootcamps, and you can access the programmes remotely from anywhere, so that training is easier to access.
— We provide comprehensive career-change support that looks at every step of the process as you make the jump.
FAQ's about coding bootcamps
Is a coding bootcamp worth it?
Not all coding bootcamps are equal. It's only worth it if it helps you achieve a level of technical skill that you couldn't achieve on your own, or it helps you achieve it significantly faster than you could without it. The value of a coding bootcamp with The Jump is firstly that you're going to learn the commercially relevant tech that the industry wants you to know now, to a professional standard, faster than if you go self-taught, and secondly in the career-change support.
How much is a coding bootcamp?

Will a coding bootcamp get you a job?
You can absolutely make the jump into the industry as a developer - as students at The Jump have demonstrated - but attending a coding bootcamp does not guarantee you a job. As the saying goes, there are only two guarantees in life: death and taxes.
If a bootcamp guarantees you a job, you should definitely ask:
- What their definition of a job is
- What duration you are guaranteed to be employed for
- What you'll actually be doing in the job that they are guaranteeing
- How much the job pays
- Under what circumstances that guarantee is valid or not.
How much do coders and DevOps Engineers make?

Do companies hire coding bootcamp graduates?
Yes, absolutely. Yes, absolutely, as our grads are testament to.
The UK has a shortage of tech skills. Students of The Jump who have chosen to find new developer roles have realised how closely our syllabus matches what the market is looking for.
Can you fail a coding bootcamp?
The Jump has a policy that we won’t leave you behind on any of our coding bootcamps, providing you are putting the effort in to learn. We recognise that people learn in different ways and at different speeds, so we’ll work just as hard as you to get you to where you want to be.
Are coding bootcamps for beginners?
Of the four different coding bootcamps that The Jump runs - Software Engineering, Web Development, JavaScript, and DevOps - only the JavaScript and DevOps Bootcamps requires pre-existing knowledge.
Does coding require math?
If you dreaded maths at school, then don’t worry, there is very little maths that you need to know and our coding bootcamps will go over the basics that you need. The kind of maths that you use will be percentages (e.g. what percentage of the viewport’s width do you want an element to be), comparisons (e.g. is something more than, less than or equal to something else), basic addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
How long does a coding bootcamp take?
The training for most bootcamps lasts around 12-weeks full-time but The Jump runs all of our programmes part-time and some of them full-time:
Part-Time:
Software Engineering: 30 weeks
Web Developer: 24 weeks
JavaScript: 19.5 weeks
DevOps: 20 weeks
Full-Time:
Software Engineering: 12 weeks
Web Developer: 9 weeks
Do you need a degree for a coding bootcamp?
Nope - you don’t need one to become a developer so you don’t need one to join our coding bootcamps. The only requirements we have are:
Commitment: That you’ll put in the effort to learn and practice what we’re teaching you.
English: That you can understand English to a level that allows you to understand the concepts we’re explaining
Learning difficulties and colour blindness: That you let us know in advance so we can understand your needs.
