Only cons are that I have to work 9 to 5 when I'd prefer to be learning. It's difficult for me to make contact during the day time how ever emailing is readily available throughout the evening.

After having great experience withe the introductory webinar, I immediately felt more confident in trying something new so I arranged for a consolation. Unfortunately all the times I was called i was unable to answer, but the team were resilient, patient... Read More and worked around my busy schedule to accommodate a call. After a great hour or so talking about what Code Institute had to offer and offer off topic things, I was ready to take the plunge and sign up.

IT as a subject was just beginning to take off when I was in my final years at school. I was lucky to have made a start within the industry, but it was a tentative experience at best. In the three decades since, I have always managed to maintain a healthy... Read More knowledge of IT, but in what others might consider to be an outside experience. In 2005, I managed to do some study for web and media design which, at the time, I thought would my way to get into the industry that I wanted to be a part of.

While I did learn quite a bit about HTML and Javascript, it was never enough for me to gain that vital entry level position. The college of that time did very little to encourage additional studies and even less to make the previous several months of work worth my while. Just knowing the methods behind the design of websites was not enough. The desire to break into the industry waned and constant barriers to progress were almost put up on purpose. That was until a chance email was received towards the end of 2016. Several chats with a representative was enough to convince me that this was an opportunity too good to turn down. So I signed up.

And what a good decision that was.

Even though coursework is currently ongoing, I am more confident than ever that this will be the chance that I have waited so long for. The support I have received in the past several weeks has been nothing short of excellent. My mentor is always on hand to explain anything that needs to be in simple and concise English. As well as that, he has been on hand at a moment's notice to assist in any other way required. Learning at my own pace in my own style is easily the best way to finally get the dream job I have always wanted. It feels like it will finally happen sooner rather than later.

I'm currently undertaking the mentored online course which I commenced May 2016. I have really enjoyed my learning experience so far, mentored online gives me the flexibility to learn at a pace suited to me whilst being able to work around day to day... Read More life. The LMS and course content is current and always being updated and finely tuned. The only con is that online learning also allows you to sometimes become lost and a little unmotivated but the student care team and your mentor are always to help you keep on track. I'd highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to enter into the coding world.
