For me, the future... Read More looks so much brighter and that's all thanks to Founders and Coders.

I can safely say that the Founders & Coders Boot camp, has been a thoroughly enjoyable, challenging and rewarding experience. Coming from a back ground in sales, whilst pursuing various online routes to learning how to build websites I became dis-enfranchised... Read More with being the lone ranger sitting at home. After attending the Monday evening meet-up sessions I began to take on the pre-requisites for the Boot camp after getting a feel for the environment I knew it was something that I wanted to be a part of. The course itself consisted of weekly tasked based learning in the form collaborative projects. Whilst the course is taught free of tuition there was no compromise on the quality provided. Throughout Founders & Coders we were encouraged to participate in pair programming and help one another to overcome every task. We had speakers from a broad spectrum of renowned organisations and potential employers such as , The Guardian, Twitter and The BBC.

Whilst the curriculum is vast and the pace fast it certainly lives up to the 'Boot camp' label. Even if you come away with 50% of the knowledge that is provided to you it's a worthwhile experience. Fantastic way to spend 4 months highly worth it !!!
