Cloud Engineering Bootcamp

Cost: £8,500
Duration: 13 weeks
Locations: Online, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham
In-person Available Online
Course Description:

Our newest bootcamp focuses on one of the most in-demand jobs in the tech sector - Cloud. What didn't exist as a separate job a few years ago is now one of the most sought-after skill sets in the industry. Our Cloud Engineering course focuses on cloud platform development. Here is a breakdown of the course:

Week 1: Introduction Week
We'll begin by helping you build your confidence with JavaScript, laying the
foundations for you to be able to handle data and create interactivity on websites and apps. We'll also provide you with resources to help you build your HTML and CSS skills.
Weeks 2-4: Fundamentals
First things first. We’ll give you a solid understanding of the fundamentals and best practices of programming. We'll cover test-driven development, pair programming, object-oriented programming and a range of other core tools and workplace practices through the medium of JavaScript.
Weeks 5-6: Back End
JavaScript is the only language that can be run both on the front and back end. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of coding in JavaScript, we show you how we can use use Node.js to run code for the back end, and focus on ways of dealing with asynchronous programming. We'll look at APIs and databases, and cover Express and SQL.
Weeks 7-8: Journey to the cloud
It's all about the cloud next - by this point you will have experienced developing and running software on your own computer. This phase of the programme will now turn your attention to taking those computing concepts and how they translate, to servers and cloud providers. We’ll work with you to cover cloud service awareness, interaction choices and key concepts.
Weeks 9-10: Provisioning
Using infrastructure as code tooling, we’ll look to start creating servers and infrastructure on cloud environments. Essentially, you’ll be writing code to create servers and services on cloud environments. Wrapped up within this we’ll also cover considerations for designing for the cloud such as regions, availability zones and designing for failure. Giving you the knowledge on both the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of infrastructure you will create.
Weeks 11-12: Application deployment
Building on provisioning you’ll understand and create your own Kubernetes cluster. You’ll operate this cluster and deploy applications in the form of docker containers to your cluster. We’ll also explore automating the deployment through Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools. Once the applications are running, you’ll build on your understanding by developing knowledge of monitoring and observability of those applications.
Weeks 13: Project week
This is where we take everything we have learned to deploy a set of applications on to your cloud environment. Using all the previous skills you’ll create servers and services, build and deploy applications and set up the monitoring for when they are running.

Data Engineering Bootcamp

Cost: £8,500
Duration: 13 weeks

Course Description:

This 13 week bootcamp focuses specifically on “the back end” of software. Here is a breakdown of the course:

Week 1: Introduction Week
We’ll begin by helping you build your confidence with JavaScript, laying the foundations for you to be able to handle data and functions.
Weeks 2-4: Fundamentals
First things first. We’ll give you a solid understanding of the fundamentals and best practices of programming. We'll cover test-driven development, pair programming, object-oriented programming and a range of other core tools and workplace practices through the medium of JavaScript.
Weeks 5-6: Back End

We'll look at APIs and databases, and cover Express and SQL.
Week 7: Python Fundamentals
Python is a popular a programming language used in machine learning, artificial intelligence, web development and data analysis. Fortunately it is relatively easy to learn when compared to pretty much any other programming language, due to its simple and easy-to-use syntax. After getting to grips with the basics, we’ll learn how to use Python's extensive suite of data libraries to automate complex management tasks.
Week 8: Data Fundamentals
Looking at advanced SQL syntax including windowing, common table expressions and conditional statements, we will learn how to turn raw data into easy-to-consume data sets. Data Models ensure consistency in naming conventions, default values, semantics, and security, as well as optimising performance and data quality.
Weeks 9-10: Cloud Operations and Integration
Introduction to the AWS command line API and deploying a simple Lambda function as well as an introduction to shell scripting. We'll also look at infrastructure as Code, using Terraform Introduction to CI/CD with GitHub Actions, additionally we'll look at monitoring and alerting with Cloudwatch. The final section will be looking at AWS artefacts with moto and AWS password manager.
Weeks 11-12: Project Phase
You’ll work in teams of 4-6 to develop an original team project. During the first week, you will learn best practices for working in technology teams, such as utilising Kanban, being introduced to Agile methodologies, writing user stories, conducting effective stand-up meetings, and collaborating on Git.
Weeks 13: Review and Wrap-up
Review of project phase, discussion of code quality, techniques used and possible avenues for enhancement. Short introductions to advanced Data Engineering topics and technologies.

Software Development Bootcamp

Cost: £8,500
Duration: 13 weeks
Locations: Online, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham
In-person Available Online
Course Description:

Across 13 weeks we cover a mixture of back-end and front-end with a focus on building web applications. Here is a breakdown of the course:

Week 1: Introduction Week
We'll begin by helping you build your confidence with JavaScript, laying the
foundations for you to be able to handle data and create interactivity on websites and apps. We'll also provide you with resources to help you build your HTML and CSS skills.

We'll look at APIs and databases, and cover Express and SQL. We’ll also work with some pretty cool third-party data sets and APIs, and help you deploy applications to the cloud!
Weeks 8-10: Front End
It's front end next - you'll learn all about the DOM (Document Object Model) and how to make accessible websites with semantic HTML and responsive CSS, and we'll introduce you to UX. React is the most in-demand front-end framework. We'll teach you the latest concepts and some key peripheral technologies so you can create entire complex front-ends for your websites.
Weeks 11-13: Project Phase
There's no better way to consolidate and extend your knowledge, and prove what you can do, than to get hands on with a real, green-field team project. With previous groups exploring Virtual Reality, Machine Learning, image recognition and blockchain (to name a few!); what you create is limited by your imagination. Curious as to what our previous graduates have created?
