Code Institute

I originally studied physics in University then dropped out, but ended up completing a degree in product design so I had touched (and I mean literally touched) coding in the past. I was aware of what it was used to do, have some friends in it but hadn't got the first notion of how to go about it - i.e. I knew nothing about how to code or script. I'm currently taking the code institute program and I think very highly of it I must say. The way it's taught is brilliant, easy to go back through and although can seem overwhelming, does begin to make sense. I am very pleased with the program and it certainly does leave one with the ability to code and understand the principles behind same. Coding is kind of like science - you can't be an expert in every facet and periphery but this is a great...

Pros:

Learning from home

Having a tutor for more difficult subjects and areas
Cheaper then uni

Tiff was really good and got things sorted as best as possible and rather quickly and handled everything professionally and was a credit to the code institute.

My new tutor was much better then the last one, (old tutor would drop appointments)

Cons:

Let downs by tutors for silly reasons on multiple occasions

Learning materials changed half way through and new material on subjects I had already covered I would have liked to have gone over again as it was abit better but had less time to do so because my time wasn’t extended so that I could cover this extra content and felt I was getting less for my money than perhaps someone else who joined 6months later.

Tutors and so...

Nothing but pros.
Not gonna go into heavy details, but this helped me BIG TIME. SUPPORTIVE environment and great people to learn from. Loved it.

Almost one year ago I decided to change something in my life from the career point of view. There was not much to choose or to like so I got into coding, right after I asked one of my firends. After spending many hours of reading, researching etc I found what I wanted. A company that was providing everything to start on a completly new path. Not long after that, I enroled on The Learning People so right now after 9 months, I found the job I was looking for. Definetely I recommend to those who wants to change their life by doing what I was doing, either with Learning People or others.

I attended the code institute Dublin during the summer of 2016. This was after deciding to make a big career change so the fullstack software development course seemed ideal rather than going back to do another 3 or 4 years in college.
It was one of the best decisions I have ever made , the course really pushed me to learn quickly and adapt to a fast paced environment, very similar to what you meet when working in tech.
I haven't had many problems getting jobs since then, I am currently working as a software support engineer and am delighted I made the initial investment in doing the course.

Code Institute is a great bootcamp on several levels.

They have very knowledgeable and friendly staff and teachers. I always felt the teachers (and teacher assistant) had a solid grasp on the course material. All questions were promptly resolved to my satisfaction. The course content covers up-to-date and relevant technologies, and it is constantly evolving. Meaning what I learned in the course would have changed by the time you sign up, for the better. That is supported by a council of industry leaders (a few bit companies) that reccommend material and changes to the curriculum by going over what they would like to see in a potential candidate's CV.

The price is affordable, considering you will up-skill or outright change your career to a higher paying salary position after you a...

While it is quite comprehensive, a lot of the resources used are not too respected within the developers community and people have laughed at the tools they use to teach us, such as Cloud9. I hope that when I finish this, which is a level 5, I can

It also uses things that have been out of date for months such as Bootstrap 3 and therefore grid rules in the exercises. Support is not that great, I had to change mentor because the one I had was extremely rude and basically didn't hear anything I said. The applications of languages such as Python and JavaScript could be more "real world" useful instead of making a version of a 90s game.
I was also told by The Learning People that the projects were a lot more community driven, that there would be encouragement for real life practice to...

What can I say it's simply amazing!
I have gotten ym skills improved and it was worth the money!
The thing I was sceptical about was how to learn but having a slack community and meeting with other students I just didn't get a job and a accredited diploma. I also got friends for live and get to know other people as well!

Material is good and up to standard the journey they take you through is also amazing and well taught.

In some ways I think that I, personally, may have benefitted from attending a classroom, especially with the more complex topics. But the mentors, student care staff, and even fellow students, mean that there is always someone available to help. Whether it’s discussing a bug in your code, or going over course material from a different perspective, or even providing support for committing to studies around personal distractions. The Code Institute community has become like family to me, and I love checking in every day to get that interaction and support.

I'm currently a student there and I'm loving it. They have a really great team that is supportive and contactable whenever you need them making you not feel alone on your learning journey. The course is really structured and well presented and provides you with all the resources required to get the course finished. The student community is also really good and this also helps with not making you feel alone whilst studying. I really cannot recommend Code Institute enough, they are brilliant.

The course material is relevant and good, albeit hard work one your own and some of the software is currently a little dated (im having to study python 2.7 which i find odd considering its quite different to the newer version 3s) But i couldn't help but get the feeling i was being sold something on the phone? I was assured id be working towards a level 5 qualification, a higher level Diploma on the EQF which is a foundation degree ( a high level qualification) and i can't help but wonder the authenticity of the qualification that is awarded when i look at reviews and they're ALL conveniently written on the exact same 2 dates? the mentor tutors i must say are committed and helpful getting through the course content, and i've learnt a lot since starting, but at times i wonder

The course covers a wide variety of technologies that are relevant to getting a job in Web development. Having an online mentor was extremely helpful. In some places however the course felt a bit incomplete (such as the django section). Overall though, very good

You have to pass a telephone interview in order to join this course. That tells you how carefully course attendees are selected. I guess they have to be - no one likes slackers in a classroom, not even if that classroom is online.

Their learning management system has undergone changes recently, moving altogether to a different platform with a different course structure, but always keeping the old system in place for those who already started on it. This also shows how important it is to keep everyone happy rather than force them to join in the middle of the course and have a bittersweet taste in the end for never completing one or the other system from end to end.

Instruction and mentoring works great. Some of us don't need the mentor part, but those who do certainly get a lot of ...

Code Institute for me is all online based. However the team are very quick to respond to any of my queries and the slack guys the most helpful people ever. The course itself can be challenging when doing solo without help but I'm able to figure it out on my own which I greatly appreciate. They also set you up with a mentor you can contact anytime to help you with any coding questions over skype. All part of the price.

Great people in person also. Cannot say enough good things about these people. They are helping me change my life and shape my future.

I am following the diploma in Software Development (Mentored Online) by Code Institute. I am happy and satisfied with this course. This online course gives me an opportunity to study with my own rhythm and mentor support always added value to understand different topics and solve coding issues. I highly recommend this course for career change!

Only recently started but so far I’m very happy with it, there is plenty of support available and no one pushing to you hurry and get work done you work at your own pace

Course has very good materials and tutorials lead by experienced tutors. It covers most of important web development frameworks, such as Angular JS and Django, examples how to use Bootstrap and Materialize, and databases MySql and Mongo. Examples shown are clearly explained and quite advanced in the same time. The staff is friendly and highly supportive, they always do they best to help, also in terms of coding - there is a room on Slack where they'll answer even the most silly questions.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the learning experience with Code Institute.

I enrolled for the full stack developer course and so far have been really pleased with the level of support from the code institute, my mentor and the rest of the students on-line. When you undertake an on-line course (this is my first) there is a quite reasonably a feeling of nervousness. My experience has been very good indeed. The materials are great. The videos and the tools from the Learning Management System to Cloud9, Github and (for me) more to come, there is so much to learn and its a real joy to be doing this. I am able to take the course at my own pace. Enrolling in the program feels like you are part of a wider team, which is really important, but most of all, the team at Code Institute which you become part of are clearly passionate about what they do. It shows and it ru...

Having been out of the coding loop for a few years I needed to refresh my skills and learn a few new ones on the way. I did a lot of research which boot camp to do and the reason I choose Code Institute was because the course was put together by an advisory council of industry players specifying what they want people to know. The course is also a higher diploma that is accredited by the Edinburgh Napier University - so not just some piece of paper. I found the initial modules very easy (especially as I had done coding a few years previously as well as having a degree in Computer Science), however don't let this put you off - if you're a beginner they won't be. Upon reaching the half way point progress continued at normal rate. Also with Code Institutes Full Stack developer course they...

Plenty of support from mentor & StudentCare. Excellent response times. Lesson material detailed and informative. Advice and guidance for securing employment was both thorough and up to date and helped me secure a role within 2 months of completing the course.
