TechSwitch

TechSwitch helped me develop my understanding for both frontend and backend development. While 12 weeks seemed like a short amount of time, I came out the other end happy with the knowledge and support I received. Being able to work on group projects... Read More using industry standard flows and software meant that I could gain a feel for working a software developer's day. The transition from finishing the bootcamp, to interviewing for roles has been a standout for me. Navigating this on my own would have been very difficult, so having people who were actively advocating for interviews for me was something I really appreciated.

The course is well planned, well delivered and full of interesting tasks and challenges. My day at TechSwitch day started with a lecture, explanation of the tasks, and then most of the time we worked in pairs learning from each other. If we were stuck...

I also had a lot of support with writing my cv and biography as well as answering interview questions. We even had two mock interviews and feedback for each. In terms of coding, I learned JavaScript (React, Typescript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap) as well as C#/.NET as the backend technology. Throughout the quite intense course support, reassurance and feedback from TechSwitch team were excellent! I can't praise them enough!

TechSwitch has a strong emphasis on teaching you how to be software engineers rather than teaching you how to code in a particular language. We did fun exercises in JavaScript/ TypeScript/ C#/ React/ Express/ SQL/ EF... It was fairly intense but so rewarding.... Read More The support was excellent - not just in terms of the tech but also general encouragement, mock interviews etc. They're passionate about giving every one of the cohort the very best chance of success. I'd had a nearly 7 yr career break so my confidence was low. I'm now happily working in my dream job. highly recommend.
