    Intense, skill-based course.

    Taking DevelopMe's coding fellowship course was a very, very good decision.

    I'm 46 and for over twenty years I've had a very different career from web-development. I'd reached a point in my life where I wanted to train to do something different. The time and cost of a university course really didn't appeal to me. I wanted an intense, compressed, skills-based programme that would prepare me to become a junior web-developer.

    Fast-tracking a new career.

    When I heard about what Develop Me were trying to do with the Coding Fellowship I was already excited for them. I was living in Brighton at the time and had no immediate ambitions of leaving. However, the more I learnt about the curriculum and the experts they were getting in, to teach specific modules on the course, the more I realised I couldn’t miss out or delay my decision. We’re now 8 weeks into a 12 week course and I couldn’t be happier with my decision to sign up....

    Best Three Months Ever

    I would recommend the DevelopMe bootcamp to anyone who is committed to becoming a web developer, and willing to put in a lot of hard work, keep asking questions and really make the most of all the support available here. The course is very intense, even if you have been through all or most of the preparation materials, but it is a brilliant, well-structured way of learning vital skills, and ultimately getting started in the industry.

    The syllabus is regularly updated with new techn...

    Great course with Inspiring Instructors

    I had no prior knowledge of coding and I now feel confident enough to start building my own sites. Thanks to the Coding Fellowship I’m really excited to kick start my career as a developer.

    The instructors are all respected Bristol developers in their own rights and this really helps with motivation through 12 tough weeks of full time learning.

    All the projects throughout the course felt applicable to the real world whilst giving good structure and direc...

    Great course in a great location

    Attending Develop Me’s Coding Fellowship was a great decision.

    The instructors are excellent and have a deep knowledge of each of the topics they are teaching. Being able to talk through your coding with someone that is so experienced really is invaluable.

    A lot of the course content is based on real- world projects which was extremely useful as pretty much everything that was taught was of real value.

    Oli and Pete, the course directors, are very helpful and s...

    Great introduction to coding

    Attending the DevelopMe Coding Fellowship was a great experience. 

    I joined the first cohort in the last months of my pregnancy with the hope to gain new skills just before the start of my maternity leave. The training was high-paced, but we were receiving a great amount of support from our tutors. Over 12 weeks we had a chance to practice different technologies. The tutors were very helpful and flexible enough to accommodate me doing the last few weeks online ...

    Rewarding and fulfilling experience

    I have recently completed the DevelopMe course in December 2016 and will be starting my placement in January. I have found the whole experience very rewarding, it has provided me with the knowledge that I will need to start my career within web development. The 12 week course can be challenging at times but a lot of support is provided, either through assigned mentors or the instructors themselves.

    There is a lot of variation on the course, a...

    Intense but well worth it!

    The Coding Fellowship has so far been an intense journey immersing me in a breadth of core technical concepts as well the vibrant tech scene here in Bristol. There's a huge amount to take in but the supportive atmosphere, knowledgeable instructors and daily table tennis battles make for an excellent learning environment and have helped me to progress a huge amount in just a few weeks.  The course directors, Oli and Pete, really encourage feedback on every aspect of DevelopMe al...

    Go for it, you will not look back!

    I can’t believe how far I have come thanks to DevelopMe_. I had no prior experience whatsoever but now I am coding every day!

    The course provides you with a solid base of full-stack knowledge, giving you the confidence to build on new skills and concepts in your own time. It also opens your eyes to what can be achieved. At times you will feel overwhelmed, frustrated and disheartened but keep the faith, you will not regret it.

    Excellent web development bootcamp

    I chose DevelopMe because their curriculum offered a broad introduction to full stack web development.  Their programme delivery was excellent in terms of teaching content and quality of instructors.  Instructors was highly knowledgeable and supportive but students were never spoon fed learning.  The three month bootcamp was always challenging and very rewarding. 

    DevelopMe organised a number of internship interviews for me on completion of my course, one of which led to full tim...

    Entry into web development

    Having dropped out of uni, not liking my degree, I thought a coding course would be the best option, partly out of interest and partly to find a career direction. Even if you don't have any experience, by the end of the course everyone felt they were confident when it came to programming/coding. I couldn't of wished for a better cohort of teachers and students. This is an intensive course, so be prepared to work, but the results are rewarding. I would definitly recommend developMe to anyon...
