part-time coding bootcamp student testimonial - Charlotte | The Jump

Charlotte, from Publishing Editor to Full-Stack Software Engineer

My instructor was a fantastic teacher – he has decades of experience... During an interview, one hiring manager commented on how impressed they were with the breadth of topics I’d covered on the course.

The career support... was also a huge plus. I’m very happy to say I was offered a software job... I really would recommend The Jump to anyone

Learning Part-Time vs Full-Time

The syllabus is exactly the same for part time and full time

Part-time allows you to train without quitting your job, and gives you more time to absorb the material

Full-time immerses you in the content but puts you under more pressure to learn at the speed the cohort progresses

Part Time

  • Time: 18:30 - 21:30 UK time

  • Days: 2 per week (Mon & Wed or Tue & Thur)

  • Homework and projects: approx 9 hours per week with feedback provided

  • 1-2-1 support: Available throughout

  • Duration: 30 weeks

Full Time

  • Time: 09:00 - 17:30 UK time

  • Days: Monday to Friday

  • Tasks and Challenges: Set at 14:00 after context setting and instruction

  • 1-2-1 support: Available throughout

  • Duration: 12 weeks (Plus pre-work)

From teacher to full-Stack Software Engineer - Grazell | The Jump

Grazell, from Teacher to Full-Stack Software Engineer

I’ll start by saying that I would 100% recommend The Jump to anyone who wants to get into web development...

Within 2 weeks of firing out applications, I landed my first role as a Junior Full-Stack Engineer...

...if you want to get into coding, join The Jump! it’s worth every penny.

How is this different from our Web Development Bootcamp?

Our Web Development Bootcamp is shorter (9 weeks full-time or 24 weeks part-time) as it only covers the front end portion of this Software Engineering bootcamp. What it doesn't cover are servers, databases, 3rd party API's, Authorisation and Authentication, or DevOps.

How are we different from other schools or software engineering courses?

Small software engineering course cohorts for personalised support

Small cohorts

Some schools 150+ students onto their cohorts. We cap ours at 30 so that we can give you personalised support.

commercially relevant

Commercially valuable

Many Schools teach Ruby. We don’t. We teach you the tech that’s in demand now. For every Ruby developer role, there’s ~10 JavaScript developer roles.

Focus your learn in more depth

Focused training

Many schools teach two programming languages. We don’t. It’s better to be really good at one language than average at two.

Highly experienced instructors

Experienced Instructors

Many schools use their recent grads as instructors. We don’t. All our instructors have 15+ years of software engineering experience. They intuitively know the tech and have a wealth of wisdom.

Making learning as accessible as possible

As accessible as possible

We make our training as accessible as possible. You can train either part time or full time; we run our training at a discount to the market; it's online so you can learn from anywhere; we record every session so you can rewatch it; we give you whatever support you need.

Krish, from Designer to Software Engineer

What struck me from day one was the level of depth and detail of the course...

What separates The Jump from all other forms of education, including University is the level of support they provide you.

Within just 5 weeks of applying for jobs I landed my first role as a Junior Software Developer. I would 100% recommend The Jump to anyone
