I really enjoyed this 30 week part time course (2 evenings a week). The ethos of the school is to build from the ground up - we spent 10 weeks working exclusively with HTML and CSS before moving onto JavaScript. I had a fair bit of programming experience before joining but very little understanding of web development, so this arrangement suited me well. Even after reaching week 11, there was a real emphasis on students being able to write proper JavaScript rather than diving straight into frameworks such as React and Express - although these were covered in some depth further down the line. The Jump are a fairly small operation, which is great because they know who all their students are and have plenty of time for them as individuals. Our instructor James was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. His response times to queries I sent him throughout the course were often incredibly fast. I was able to find a dev role part way through the course in large part thanks to a pre-existing contact (yes, lucky me). The skills I learned at The Jump have allowed me to excel in my first few months in this new role. I am a solid junior web developer thanks to the training I received.
