The curriculum was meticulously structured, covering everything from the fundamentals of JavaScript to advanced topics in React development. Each module built logically upon the previous one, ensuring a smooth learning curve. Moreover, the emphasis on hands-on projects allowed me to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, reinforcing my understanding of the concepts.
The instructors were highly knowledgeable and passionate about their field. They were always available to provide guidance, answer questions, and offer support whenever needed. Their real-world experience added immense value to the learning process, as they shared invaluable insights and best practices from their own careers.
One of the highlights of the bootcamp was the opportunity to work on various projects. These projects were carefully designed to mimic industry scenarios, enabling me to develop not only technical skills but also teamwork, problem-solving, and communication skills. Collaborating with peers on projects provided a holistic learning experience and prepared me for the collaborative nature of professional software development.
The support provided by the bootcamp staff was exceptional. From technical assistance to career guidance, they were always there to assist me throughout my journey.
In conclusion, my experience with this Full Stack Development bootcamp was nothing short of exceptional. Not only did I acquire the technical skills needed to excel in the field, but I also gained confidence, built a strong professional network, and developed a passion for lifelong learning.

Brilliant Online Coding Bootcamp
The Jump was the perfect place for me to go from a coding beginner to a professional web developer.
I did the part time course, as the lessons fit perfectly around my job, and they gave out enough tasks to keep me busy in the days we had off.

For a while I wasnt so sure if a bootcamp was right for me. I had taken a Frontend development course with General Assembly, plus a couple of Udacity and Udemy courses, but was mostly self taught and worked in the tech industry in a non coding role. I wasn’t sure about next steps to become a developer, and found research online had mixed and slightly elitist views on bootcamps, particularly looking at the bigger, more well known ones.
What attracted me to The Jump was the curriculum, which focused on the most up to date and relevant tech, very reasonable course fees compared to other schools, and also that they sought to correct some of the negatives that come with larger bootcamps. From the first call with Rob, who is friendly and helpful, I knew that this was going to be a bootcamp that is focused on and cares about student development and outcomes.
The Jump don’t pretend that their courses are a magic potion that will get you a job with no effort, but being a case of what you put in you get out.
I took the part time course professional JavaScript + dev ops course, which was every Tuesday and Thursday for 24 weeks. It allowed me to keep my full time job and learn on the side. I definitely felt overwhelmed at various points, as I had to give up a lot of free time to a very challenging, but rewarding course. You definitely have to find your own rhythm of studying, attending lessons, building projects/side projects, and whatever feels right for you and your energy.
My instructor Russell has over 20 years industry experience, and knows pretty much everything about any topic or tech. He cares deeply about your development, and always had time for me if I needed help.
They also use the services of someone who helps transform developer social media profiles, helping you secure that first job. Rob himself gave lots of career support after the course, and was instrumental in me getting my first developer role, which took about 6 weeks from when I started solidly applying to getting the offer. All in all, every developer has a different journey, but The Jump is definitely key to unlocking potential. - Charlotte TennantSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Part-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInAug 13, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Fantastic course! (Part-time software engineer course)
When researching bootcamps, the thing that really struck me about The Jump was just how friendly and open the team were. From that first call with Rob, I could tell I definitely wouldn’t be just a number to them and that they really cared about my career change journey.

From that first call with Rob, I could tell I definitely wouldn’t be just a number to them and that they really cared about my career change journey. I was keen to find a course I could fit around my full-time job and The Jump offers just that (and seems to be one of a handful of bootcamps that does!). The thirty weeks really allow you to solidify everything you’re learning and the small class sizes mean you get to know the other people in your cohort. My instructor, James, was a fantastic teacher – he has decades of experience as a commercial software engineer so you know you’re getting taught by someone at the forefront of their field.
The course is made up of taught classes, twice a week, alongside code-alongs, homework, group and portfolio projects. We even did a hackathon, which was lots of fun. The curriculum at The Jump is incredibly thorough – during an interview, one hiring manager commented on how impressed they were with the breadth of topics I’d covered on the course. I will say that the course is intense, and challenging at times, but incredibly rewarding. If you put the work in, you really will see amazing results. And The Jump will support you every step of the way – they’re always on hand if you’re stuck on your homework or have a question about a lesson. By the end of the course, I had a range of projects that I’d built over the bootcamp that I could then use as a basis for my portfolio.
The career support The Jump offered following the completion of the course was also a huge plus. They’ll help you to really stand out from the crowd in a competitive job market, giving advice on your portfolio, LinkedIn, interview technique and more. I’m very happy to say I was offered a software job from a company I’m very excited about a couple of months after I finished the course. I really would recommend The Jump to anyone who is thinking of doing a coding bootcamp, particularly if you want to make a career change. - Garon RossJunior Software Developer • Graduate • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Part-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubMar 24, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

Great course with lots of support

Despite working full time and during a big life change (the birth of my first child during the course), the flexible schedule allowed me to balance work, family, and learning to code.
The small class sizes and friendly atmosphere made The Jump a great experience. Even over Zoom, we had a strong sense of community and I met some amazing people.
The Jump's comprehensive education and support made it possible for me to learn a lot and work hard. They also record sessions, so you can go back and review the material.
Though we had an instructor change due to unforeseen circumstances midway through the course, The Jump handled it well, and the handover was smooth. I was lucky to have Russell for the rest of the course, who was an amazing teacher and lovely guy, bringing laughs and making the material easy to understand.
Thanks to The Jump, I found a job at a software company after finishing the course. I highly recommend The Jump to anyone looking to break into the tech industry. Their team cares about their students and provides excellent teaching, support, and guidance every step of the way. - JessieGraduate • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubJul 08, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The course was challenging but incredibly rewarding and enjoyable. It felt like you didn’t know anything until you moved on to the next thing where you realised you did actually know the previous thing quite well. My tutor, Russell, was fantastic and always there to answer questions whether detailed or conceptual, about code or the industry. I was surprised that within a short period of time I felt I had the confidence to speak like a developer, I was surprised at the transition.
Once the course finished we had some really great advice from Rob that helped us understand what people hiring are looking for, how they think, and how to prepare and present ourselves at each stage. This process was individualised and incredibly useful for this first job and no-doubt throughout the rest of my career. Within a couple months I had a multiple job offers and am excited for my first role in the tech industry to start next week. I definitely couldn’t have got the job I ended up with without the Jump.
I would recommend anyone thinking about doing a bootcamp to arrange a call with Rob and find out about the Jump.

Full Stack Web Developer Bootcamp
During the pandemic I realised that I wanted to change careers. Having had a successful graphic design career I wanted to gain the skills in building professional websites and web apps. Rather than a short intensive course offering multiple languages, I wanted a part-time course which focused on one main programming language and one that allowed me to work part-time. This led me to finding The Jump Digital School.

Having had a successful graphic design career I wanted to gain the skills in building professional websites and web apps. Rather than a short intensive course offering multiple languages, I wanted a part-time course which focused on one main programming language and one that allowed me to work part-time. This led me to finding The Jump Digital School.
What caught my eye was that The Jump specialise in part-time first, and it seemed that the people behind course knew that both learning and career changing takes time. I had a really open and honest conversation with Robert Sherry about the specifics of why I want to change careers and how they can best facilitate this. I came away realising that I would be joining an educational community, one that had my best interests in mind at every step of the process.
My tutor for the course was Russell Wilkes, who knows the languages on an incredibly intimate level. What struck me from day one was the level of depth and detail of the course, there was never a subject or topic that was skimmed over. His enthusiasm for everything programming and technology really resonated with me, allowing me to initially start building small sites, all the way through to full-stack web apps and websites. Russell’s support goes beyond from just de-bugging your code, he asks you questions not to catch you out, but to allow you to approach your problem logically.
When graduating from the course, we were given in-depth job application support and advice from Rob. He provides you with insights into how recruiters think, what they look for and how to prepare for each stage. Constantly supporting you at every stage of the process. What separates The Jump from all other forms of education, including University is the level of support they provide you. They are always on hand to support you at every step of the course and this does not change when the course is completed.
Within just 5 weeks of applying for jobs I landed my first role as a Junior Software Developer. I personally believe this transition would never have been possible without The Jump and their on-going support. I would 100% recommend The Jump to anyone who is contemplating a career change into Web Development. They will support and provide you with everything you need to blossom into a Web Developer. - Freddie HorneSoftware Engineer • Graduate • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInJun 21, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
