	Anonymous	The course was ok. They went over three modules; Ruby, JS and Java. The Ruby module is treated as an introduction to coding and its principles, however it should be noted that Ruby is useless and no longer used (by majority companies or programmers ). The React/JavaScript they taught was based on previous releases, instructors taught the class about class components instead of react hooks and functional components. (class components are harder, less efficient and often require duplication of code). The Java module is ok. The teaching staff are great, energetic and keen to help. The facilities are clean and up to date. Unfortunately the school provides no more than a basic programming introduction which enables you to create inventory management apps in the three programming languages named above - this could also be taught following a youtube tutorial. Students are advised that they will be equiped with tech skills to get a tech role - this is a well constructed lie. The average codeclan graduate is only qualified for basic entry level "junior" role which anybody of the street could get, as often no programming background is required for this. Most students leave professional jobs to undertake a course at codeclan do not realise the average graduating salary is £21,000 - 23,000. Most students also do not realise that a masters degree is only £300 more expensive than what codeclan charge. Students that get "good jobs" often have a background within tech prior to joining codeclan. The careers service/support is nothing more than a scam. Jobs are posted in online job boards, these posting are then forwarded to students suggesting the school has a unique relationship to leverage and if interested please email me your cv. This is because the school operates a recruitment business where they charge a finders fee. Post graduation theres is next to no contact, and the little contact there is, is for "gimmicky"/low hanging fruit esk tactics e.g. come hear a talk about fair pay in the workplace, how to start a union, how to improve your mental health (basic talks such as you should breath, you should exercise). Also CodeClan DOES NOT grade ANY work, everyone that starts the course gets a certificate. Employer obviously love this. I feel like i have been scammed.
