Why a Coding Bootcamp

What is the purpose of a Coding Bootcamp? - To grow employability, fast!

Syllabus Coverage

We continuosly revise our syllabus to cover the changing demands of the modern workplace. Our recruitment and consulting partner, Compuways, has over 30 years experience in the IT Recruitment and Consulting industry and helps us to stay in touch with the job market.

Practical Skills

We believe in Einstein's motto: 'Learning is experience - everything else is just information'. We ensure that everything learned is adequately applied. Applying your knowledge to the standard of employment, not only hones your skills, but also helps you to retain your knowledge better

All-Rounder Skills

To be succesful in your software development career, you must not only learn the software languages and tools, you must also be able to collaborate, share and lead. We make sure our students implement these with our methodology

Return on Investment

If compared to a University Degree, it costs about a third to a quarter of the price. The duration is also a third or a quarter less before you can start earning money. Often University graduates do not end-up in Full-Stack developer roles and earn less as a result.

Interview Preparation

We have a job prep phase during which we help our students to prepare their CV's and portfolios for employment. We also have mock-interview training to ensure you ace your interviews quickly

Testimonials

What they are saying about us

Courtney turned 18 in the year she enrolled in the Java Bootcamp. It was 2020, the year of Covid. She was a hard worker and one of the first to finish her assignments and got placed at a well-known financial institution. "We were all scared when Covid struck that we would not be able to finish our training in time. Code College seamlessly moved everything online and increased collaboration activities so that we were encouraged to keep our speed. All 4 of my teammates were also placed with me!"

“Code College conducted three levels of SQL training at SARS Academy, over a period of 6 months, training 95 learners through 3 levels of SQL. I have personally spoken to the managers to determine their level of satisfaction, and they assured me that even though it is early days, they can already see a marked improvement in the performance of the learners who attended the training.”

“As a trainer myself, I am extremely satisfied with the level of professionalism that Code College has provided. We will certainly consider using them in future and I can confidently recommend them to anyone else.”

What is a Coding Bootcamp?

A bootcamp is an intensive and immersive learning experience that typically lasts for a few weeks or months. These programs are designed to help people quickly develop new skills in a particular field. Bootcamps often involve a combination of lectures, hands-on projects, and teamwork, and they may be led by experienced professionals or educators with expertise in the subject matter. The goal of a bootcamp is to provide participants with a focused and intensive learning experience that prepares them for a specific career path or job opportunity.
