As big believers in self-directed learning, students finish the course as a confident and independent software engineer ready to hit the ground running.
There's a focus on life-long learning skills, while the course includes technical tests, working on open-source code or even working with the Makers engineering team on live, real-world, production code.
We have an incredibly popular emotional intelligence curriculum as well, with virtual yoga and meditation support, because world-class software developers are great communicators and collaborators as well as great coders.

"Great foundational learning experience"

"Well structured, good support, solid career partnerships"
I found the course to be a great way to learn the foundations of Software Engineering. I think it's important to note that a lot of success depends on your own motivation and ability to seek help from peers/coaches if you need it, as a lot of the learning... Read More

"Very good course"
This course teaches you more than just syntax and this is exactly what a beginner needs to feel prepared for a job in IT. You start off with Ruby (currently) and you finish by learning the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express, React and Node) and this is one... Read More
