Before joining the Code Institute course I didn't know how to code at all. Today I can build an e-commerce website from scratch! I switched career recently (employed 3 months after being graduated). In my opinion, Code Institute gave me all the necessary support I needed. The course is structured in modules that we can easily be accessed through their platform. Along the course, 4 Milestone Projects should be completed (2 frontend and 2 backend) which for me was a great learning curve and the Tutor Support always helped me to get through the most difficult pieces of code. When they were too busy at times they always came back to me explaining why was taking a little bit more time to sort it out leaving my mind at peace. The Career support was an essential piece to help me get through the door. I followed their channel on slack which is very helpful where you can find content to help you build your cv, cover letter and LinkedIn with great additional tips and also watched their webinar about careers and partner hiring companies. I recommend this course as it really made an impact for me, it gives a really good flavour of what you have to learn but never forgets that a developer's life is about internet research and that is a constant learning path, you won't leave Code Institute knowing all but you will definitely learn the essential basics to get you through. Also the online leraning gave me a great opportunity to learn how to work remotly! |
