FAQs

Sure you can. Many of our students successfully switch careers to programming after taking our courses, even if they were absolutely new to programming when starting out.

If your aim is to change careers, our 6-month, part-time bootcamps are designed to help you achieve that.

We offer the following specialized bootcamps, which help you transition from beginner to job ready:

  1. The Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp enables you to build dynamic, database-driven sites.
  2. The Software Engineer bootcamp goes beyond coding and teaches you how to construct software in various programming languages to solve specific business problems.
  3. The Data Scientist bootcamp empowers you to master the tools, techniques and knowledge required to work with data and become a qualified data scientist.
  4. The Cyber Security bootcamp introduces you to the broad range of skills required to become a Cyber Security professional, beginning with expertise in Python, an influential and widely-used programming language, and including cryptography, penetration testing and ethical hacking for vulnerability testing.

To enrol with us, you don’t need to have a degree or prior technical background - all you need is discipline, persistence, and a willingness to work hard and learn to code :)

Our students don't need access to the Internet everyday. Our course delivery is designed so that you can download the course material and work on your tasks offline. Once you are connected to the internet, all the work in your folder automatically gets synchronised with your mentor, who will be notified immediately and will provide feedback right away.

Yes, you will be issued a certificate of completion once you have met all the requirements for your bootcamp completion and you do not have any outstanding work. This is a digital copy which will be accessible from your student dashboard to view and download.

We recommend devoting an average of 8 hours per week to complete a bootcamp within 3 to 6 months. However, our courses are designed to be flexible to your learning needs and goals. If you find yourself running out of time, you can extend your course time by purchasing additional months of mentor support and access to the training material. This means you can take as long as you need to complete the course and gain the certificate, as well as the confidence to become a developer.
