Softwire Coding Bootcamp

Our intensive 12-week training Bootcamp will help you expand your horizons, learn new skills, and feel supported entering a new industry even if you’ve never written a line of code!

By the end of the course, you’ll be ready to apply for junior software developer roles, and we’ll also provide help updating your CV and interview skills to get you ready for your first job in tech.

Syllabus

The bootcamp is broken into two sections – we start first with web development (using JavaScript, React, Typescript, HTML and CSS). We then move on to server-side development (C#, SQL and Docker). There are two group projects during the course which are a chance for you to practice and solidify what you have learnt, and find the links between all the different technologies.

Benefits

• Training hours are 10 am-4 pm Monday to Friday, giving you time to do, if need be, the school run and conduct independent studying when it works for you
• Individual access to really lovely trainers who are all software developers themselves
• A community of other learners who are going through the programme with you

“I think the amount of different technologies covered at a quick pace during the bootcamp was really good – it helped me to gain confidence in switching between different languages and frameworks”. Since completing the bootcamp, Emily has been working as a Data Analyst at a fintech company, mainly using python and SQL.”

Who it’s for
