What is Coding?

What is a Virtual Class?

Coding is a language that allows you to meet a computer half

way. It’s the language developers use to create everything

from applications to video games to vehicle interfaces.

A virtual class allows a student to experience the classroom

remotely and in real time. Think of it as a cross between a

Skype call, a live classroom and a live chat.

— Paul Ford, Bloomberg 2015.

“Every month, code changes the world in some interesting, wonderful or… disturbing way”

Who are Code Institute?Code Institute was founded in 2015 to address to the ever-widening

technology skills gap. Through our Mentored Online or Classroom

Bootcamps, we teach people with little or no tech background how to

code in as little as 16 weeks.

As maximising graduate employability underpins our goal, our course

is practically designed with input from our Industry Advisory Council

(Paypal, Morgan McKinley, Accenture, GSK and more) so students leave

with a professional portfolio and career-ready skills.

Code Institute holds the distinction of being the first credit-rated

bootcamp in the world, achieved through an academic partnership with

Edinburgh Napier University.

Alexander CohrsTechnical Consultant, Fenergo“Starting with no development or technical background, after a few months at Code Institute, I had the skil l-set to gain an entry-level job at a leading f inancial tech company.”

What is the Diploma in Software Development?Code Institute’s Diploma in Software Development is an

intensive coding bootcamp created and validated by tech-

industry experts and academics – delivered fulltime or

What is aVirtual Classroom?

Who is this Virtual Class Bootcamp for?

A Virtual Classroom is a cutting edge way of reaching

students: Students can log on to take part in a live coding

bootcamp remotely and online. They enjoy the benefits of

a real bootcamp experience (interactive, real-time problem

solving, collaboration), and of an online course (zero

commuting, convenient, accessible from anywhere).

Teachers are accessible and available for live interaction,

which includes collaborating and problem-solving on a

student’s own computer no matter where the student is.

Why Should I Learn to Code?

—Steve Jobs, Apple Inc Founder.

“I think everybody in this country should learn how to program a computer because it teaches you how to think.”

Learning to code can open up a career door and a salary range

you never thought possible as well as reinforcing your pre-

existing skills and abilities.

It grants you the opportunity to create ideas that change the

world, instead of using technology without context. Learning

to code gives you control over your personal and professional

development.

• Learning to code is the fastest way to switch your career.

• There will be 500,000 vacant ICT jobs in Europe by 2020.

• You can start your new career in tech within 3 months.

• Average starting salary for junior developer €30,000.

Your Career

• We’re keen to innovate education, so our learning

options are tailored to the needs of our students: Learn

part-time over a year or dive in at the deep end with our

intensive 12-week virtual coding bootcamp.

• No matter what option you choose, our unique

accelerated learning methods prepare students for the

most intense academic cycle.

• Learning to code can vastly improve your existing core

competency. If you’re a graphic designer, your work

will be bolstered by front end development. If you’re

a statistician, you can learn how to automate your

statistical analysis with the back end.

Your Education
