The Jump is a family-run school that offers part-time coding bootcamps including a 30-week full-stack web development bootcamp, a 24-week front-end web development bootcamp, and a 17.5-week JavaScript developer bootcamp. The school is based in London, England, and all the training is taught live by experienced professional developers, via Zoom.
Throughout the bootcamps, students will gain a full understanding of the client-server model and learn programming languages (and associated frameworks) such as HTML, CSS (Materialize, Zurb Foundation, SCSS, Bootstrap), JavaScript (React, Express, Node.js), SQL/NoSQL, and Bash (Server & Database usage in full-stack course only). The bootcamps are designed to help students with little or no coding skills to become professional web developers with advanced coding skills. They will be taught methodologies and best-practices such that by the end they will be able to comfortably create their own web-based applications to industry standard. Students are taught by experienced instructors who are also current industry professionals, who can guide and support students through up-to-date and commercially relevant material. The Jump was founded by two brothers who each have more than 10 years of experience in web development and recruitment. Their mission is to help more people make the jump and learn to code by: removing the need to quit your job to train; providing close learning support throughout the bootcamp; ensuring they are using current industry professionals to teach up-to-date and commercially relevant content.
The part-time schedule of the bootcamps allows students to continue their full-time jobs, in addition to maintaining their lives while learning advanced coding skills. By allowing students to maintain their earning capacity, The Jump aims to remove the financial pressure to compress the bootcamp into a shorter time-frame.
The Jump gets its students ready for the job market by focusing on the most relevant technologies, languages, and frameworks; rewriting their CV's; providing interview practice; helping them build and curate their portfolio of projects and helping them understand how to source roles. Once students graduate, they will have access to the alumni network benefits. These benefits include access to opportunities and a referral program that allows graduates to earn back course fees and more.

Great course with lots of support
I'm a former administrator who wanted to make a career change into coding, and The Jump's part-time course was the perfect way for me to do it. I found them online and was impressed by Rob's passion for helping people break into the coding industry from our very first call.

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
Full-time full-stack developer course
I loved my experience at the Jump. I found that everyone at the Jump was incredibly supportive and had a lot of time for me. It felt that they were passionate about what they do, they enjoy it and want to help people find the same thing. My cohort was small (5 people) and full-time.

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

Part-time Full-Stack Software Engineering course
I’ll start by saying that I would 100% recommend The Jump to anyone who wants to get into web development. Regardless of your tech knowledge, or the lack thereof, as long as you’re willing to put the work in and is enthusiastic to learn, then The Jump has your back for everything else.
As someone who is changing career from a non-tech background, you can imagine how scary it is to take the leap and make that big decision.

Regardless of your tech knowledge, or the lack thereof, as long as you’re willing to put the work in and is enthusiastic to learn, then The Jump has your back for everything else.
As someone who is changing career from a non-tech background, you can imagine how scary it is to take the leap and make that big decision. From the get-go, Rob and James made it feel so accessible and you immediately get the essence that you are joining a family. One main element that I’m sure resonates with everyone whose been through The Jump is that we are treated as individuals rather than just a statistic.
In addition to that, the content of the course is top-notch! They really took the time to create in-depth lesson materials that contains best practices and up-to-date information on technologies that are in-demand today. The tutor, Russell, was very dedicated and treated us not only as eager learners but also as professionals. His deep knowledge and contagious enthusiasm for everything techy makes the lessons engaging and really prompts you to want to know more.
Importantly, it was just really fun. I always looked forward to my Tuesday and Thursday nights to agonise over new information from Russell. Don’t get me wrong, it’s definitely not easy and it highly requires your efforts; but as long as you’re willing to learn, the difficult parts of it becomes a welcomed challenge. There is always someone available to give guidance when you need it.
So, what happens after? Thankfully, your relationship with The Jump doesn’t end when the lessons end. That’s probably one of the most important aspects of this course too. They are dedicated to help you through the application process for you to get that very important first job! I definitely needed lots of help in that area and talking to Rob, James, Katie and Russell eased my worries. From CVs, to job hunting process, to interview preps, to just general motivational push, they were very supportive through it all.
Within 2 weeks of firing out applications, I landed my first role as a Junior Full-Stack Engineer. It took less than a year for me to completely change career and I honestly can’t imagine being able to do that successfully, within that timeframe, without The Jump.
And as a bonus, their Socials are a great way to meet the people that you mainly see in squares on zoom and others that are in the same position as you! Plus, you MIGHT get to see Russell’s small phone in person! (You’ll have to join to know😉).
So if you want to get into coding, join The Jump! it’s worth every penny.

What a great school!
I initially found The Jump through a recommendation and had scheduled my first call with Rob. Rob was great to talk to, he told me about the course, all the different options and what to expect. I could tell he was really passionate and truly wanted to help those who looking to make a move into the coding industry. Compared to other schools, I really liked how small the classes were and that they taught Javascript; which is a lot more useful in terms of finding a job.

I opted for the Full-stack developer full-time course. As this was a full-time course, it was quite intensive in how much we learnt each day but the material and our teacher Russell made it easy to keep up. I always felt that if I didn't quite understand something, there was plenty of support from our teacher.
After completing my course, there was a lot of support from the team in applying for jobs and providing plenty of advice. This was really beneficial as it didn't feel like you were left behind once the course was over. I have just managed to secure a job after a few weeks after the course has ended.
Overall, I would definitely recommend The Jump! Everyone in the team, Rob, James, Katie & Russell, are really passionate in helping you become the best you can be and are just such nice people. They will guide you along the way and do their upmost best to help you on this journey. - Beth CliffordGraduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Part-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubMar 29, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A
Passionate people and an in-depth course!
The Jump really offers a next level, in-depth course, which I just couldn't seem to find anywhere else.
The teaching by Russell was fantastic. Everything was explained so clearly and there was never a question he wasn't able to answer and he was always able to explain the reasoning behind something. He was also always available throughout the week for help with any difficulties that had cropped up from the homework or whilst reviewing a lesson.

What's so great about The Jump is that you can tell that literally everyone involved is really passionate about creating a really high quality course. I always felt like I mattered as an individual and not just as a number or statistic to brag about.
I've come away from the course feeling like I'm ready to get a job as a developer (which I have!), which I'm not sure a lot of courses can offer.
Also, the fact I could study alongside my full time job was great and meant I didn't have to lose out on income whilst learning.
Would 100% recommend for anyone wanting to really get into coding seriously. - Faith TejadaJunior Software Engineer • Graduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubJan 12, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The Jump are top tier quality, teaching you what is in demand in the job market and doing so with unparalleled support and humanity, which at the end of the day (especially during a pandemic), makes all the difference. Even though this school is continuing to flourish and expand, as a student you will not feel like a number. Not only are class sizes moderately small, but these guys are kind, down to earth, brilliant (of course) and genuinely care about how you do if you are willing to put the effort in. They provide the space and resources for you to learn at your own pace, while regularly checking in with you through the programme and job search and seeing how they can help.
There were many times where I was struggling during the course, and I cannot emphasise enough how that support was always there. I am incredibly grateful for my instructor, Russell, for his patience and always putting in the extra 1to1’s in the calendar to help get me there. Apart from being a wiz in his technical craft, he is an excellent instructor that puts the effort into reframing concepts and making them more digestible, all the while adding in humour and the much needed hope at times.
After about of month of applying to jobs I have already accepted an offer. Once again, The Jump was there to help during that time (from interview prep to debriefs and encouragement) and offer advice where needed. No doubt is this family run company, a special group of individuals. I would wholeheartedly recommend The Jump to anyone. - Joshua CampdenGraduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 17, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very in depth course with amazing staff! (Full stack course)
The single most important thing that puts The Jump above other coding bootcamps is the fact that the owners, Rob and James, care so much about each individual student. It's clear from day one that it's their mission for you to succeed in whatever it is you choose to do after completing The Jump.

It's clear from day one that it's their mission for you to succeed in whatever it is you choose to do after completing The Jump.
Secondly, the caliber of teaching provided by The Jump is astounding. I was taught by Russell who is not only a brilliant guy but also one of the most knowledgeable and experienced developers I've ever met. He's extremely dedicated to teaching and his passion really comes across during lessons.
As for the course itself, the tech stack taught is exactly what the technology market is looking for, with myself being taught React.js for handling the front end and Express.js for the back. Both techniques are hugely popular at the moment with more and more web applications transitioning to them every day.
All in I'd have to say if you want to upskill or totally make the change to the tech industry (you don't need any prior coding experience for The Jump) then go for it! I have secured a job in the tech industry within a month of applying for positions, so the skills they teach are clearly in demand! - Andy BeableJunior Frontend Developer • OnlineVerified by GitHubNov 12, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

From the very first call I had with Rob and James, I had knew I had made the right decision to choose them as it was obvious there was a genuine passion to help and determination to see you succeed which remained throughout.
In terms of the course itself, as to be expected, the learning curve is steep. However James provided fantastic support and was on hand if needed. The content covered is up to date and focuses on frameworks that are current and highly sought after in the industry, which was a huge bonus.
Perhaps most impressive about the course however is the level of support that is available on completion. From my own experience, despite graduating over a year ago, I was able to ask advice in preparation for an interview. Both Rob and James were on hand at short notice and continue to provide support if needed. From the research I did in to other bootcamps, it is this attitude which stood out to me the most. By joining The Jump you don't simply become a number, but the staff take the time to get to know you and are genuinely invested in your future.
I've no doubt that the skills/knowledge I gained during the course were instrumental in securing a role as a Developer and I can't thank the team enough for that. - Tobias CaseyFront End Web Developer • Graduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by LinkedInOct 27, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

While all aspects of the Jumps program are top tier, the human aspect and level of support will succeed any other boot camp out there. Beyond teaching up-to-date, in-demand skills with strong day-to-day support, the guys are approachable, hard-working, and put every effort in to get you to succeed in your goals. - Cath LevettDesigner and developer • Graduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineVerified by GitHubMay 08, 2021Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Great in-depth course and a fantastic experience
I joined The Jump after doing a lot of research (and self-learning). When I say a lot, I mean a lot! I spoke with several 'big name' bootcamps, and was really surprised that in one case, they were unable to show me recent student projects, and in another that they didn't teach Javascript.

When I say a lot, I mean a lot! I spoke with several 'big name' bootcamps, and was really surprised that in one case, they were unable to show me recent student projects, and in another that they didn't teach Javascript.
After finding the Jump and speaking to the team, it was really clear that after 30 weeks studying on the part-time curriculum, I could graduate with an in-depth knowledge of web development and a wide-ranging portfolio of showcase projects. Not one big final project, or four smaller pieces, I counted 16 on my site as we wrapped up. All built during the course. I would never have produced these projects, either the quality or volume had I continued self learning for a few hours here and there.
It was also clear that this is a people focused family business. It genuinely feels like your success, learning and development is the priority for the team.
The part time aspect was a total win for me. It meant I didn't have to leave a job I really enjoy (but was looking to expand on), and the best part, by having two instructor led sessions a week, plus homework and projects, there was the time and the repetition for all the knowledge we were soaking up to really embed before moving on to other concepts and aspects of development.
The curriculum is up to date with industry standards, and is incredibly in depth – you will learn A LOT. The lessons are well structured and documented. As other students have mentioned, James is a deeply knowledgeable instructor who brings years of experience as a commercial developer and teacher to the classroom.
TLDR – If you are curious, driven and want to build projects to kick-off or change-up your career, I'd recommend The Jump without hesitation. You will learn the 'why' as well as the 'how'. You will get out what you put in. For 30 weeks, I put everything I had into this process and I could not be happier with the outcome.
