| | Danielle Tait | I would recommend anyone to code institute, the support is unreal, you meet amazing people and you learn so much..personally prefer to learn online. I have learned so much and gained a 2nd class honours in full stack software development. You are supported from start to finish, I have adhd and im dyslexic you get assigned s mentor that suits your need as well. You are helped with looking professional on social media such as LinkedIn. With your CV and also job applications etc. Loved my time with everyone. Highly recommended 👌 |
| | Sam Green | I completed the course in December 2020, and graduated in Feb 2021. The careers team (let's be honest it why most people read the reviews) is very supportive. There is an internal chat that posts job listings and links to webinars that are centred around finding jobs. Some will be improving your CV etc, others will have people from companies talking about job postings they've advertised. You do get other support on a one on one basis and the head of careers is always happy to answer questions too. The actual content is wide-ranging in languages (Python, JavaScript, CSS, HTML) and you'll also learn how to used frameworks like jQuery Bootstrap, Flask and Django (at least as of when I did the course). I won't lie and tell you it's easy, the content can be quite difficult towards the end of the program but this is equivalent to a Level 5 Diploma. You should go in knowing that you'll be learning quite a lot. The course is laid out so that each topic builds onto the next, you start with basic HTML and progress all the way to Django. Some content is quite jarring to people with no coding experience (like me) but in hindsight, once you've built a project these will make sense (I'm looking at you Flask). Overall I'd say is difficult but very rewarding, if you're thinking about doing it invest in a second screen! |
| | VladimirM | I was looking for some time to get my foot in the coding door and this course provided that. World of coding is a big one and this course gives you enough knowledge to get you started and even helps you with getting a job. There are different units of the course where you learn best coding practices, website design and then you have practical parts where you learn the code itself. When you finish this, you can switch to careers module where you will get help with finding a job through webinars, cv/LinkedIn/cover letter reviews. I believe careers module is available around your second milestone project, which is relatively quick. Student support with non-code related issues is the best I've seen so far but tutor support could be better. It might just be my luck, but waiting times for a tutor can be fairly long and, for me, I got my issue resolved 3 out of 8 times. There is also a Slack channel where you can ask questions, others will help you and it's a very friendly community. As a closing point, I only wish I knew about this course earlier. |
