The Jump
The Jump offers part-time and full-time bootcamps covering Full-Stack Software Engineering, DevOps, Front-End Web Development, and JavaScript Development, which can be accessed online via Zoom from anywhere. These programmes provide in-depth technical training and career-change support, and will take students from little or no experience to a professional standard. Founded by three family members in 2018, The Jump is on a mission to help students master the awesome power of tech so that they can make the jump to where they want to be, whether that’s starting a new career as a Software or DevOps Engineer, upskilling, or bringing their ideas to life.
The bootcamps are taught by senior professionals with 15+ years of experience as software engineers, who intuitively understand the tech and can focus students on learning on the most commercially relevant and valuable technologies and practices. Students will also receive ongoing career-change support from experienced recruiters, for as long as they need it, covering everything including CV writing, interview practice, and networking strategies.
The Jump has successfully helped students from all sorts of backgrounds (including make-up artists, Zumba instructors, and zoo keepers) make the jump to software engineers at companies including Lego, Lloyds Bank, EA Games and The Guardian.
To make learning more accessible, The Jump offers an in-house instalment plan, loans from education specialist finance providers, and a study now pay later option with an Income Share Agreement.

The best investment I've made to advance my professional career. The course syllabus has provided me with a great foundation to undertake developer projects at work, unlike lots of other well-known coding boot camps, the program does not teach outdated teaching frameworks & languages that are no longer in demand.

The classes are the right size so everyone can get one to one tutoring and detailed feedback on coding homework. If anyone is deliberating whether to sign up to the course, don't worry, it will be an excellent investment in your future and equip you with skills to stay relevant in the future job market.

Highly recommended!
James is a great teacher and the course covers all you need to become a developer (I took the full stack course). The teaching style really worked for me, and the fact that it's part time allowed me to take it without taking time off work. Being able to pay in installments also helped a great deal. I would recommend it to anyone looking to change careers or to widen their skillset.

After trying out several online web courses, I found myself understanding most of the basics of Web development but still being confused when applying these to an actual project. The Jump was a great compromise for me as I wanted structured learning and hands on support but couldn't commit to a full time course. Although challenging, James always re-explained topics where necessary and would follow up with extra examples out of class. I'm in a much better position to work on personal projects...After trying out several online web courses, I found myself understanding most of the basics of Web development but still being confused when applying these to an actual project.

Professional JavaScript Course
The Jump has been life changing for me. Just one month into their JavaScript bootcamp and I was able to start interviewing for roles that I was originally planning on interviewing for in a year's time. I couldn't believe it but thanks to what I’d learned so far I got the job. I’ve never had such quick return on investment with anything.

The Jump has been life changing for me. Just one month into their JavaScript bootcamp and I was able to start interviewing for roles that I was originally planning on interviewing for in a year's time. I couldn't believe it but thanks to what I’d learned so far I got the job. I’ve never had such quick return on investment with anything. These guys have truly hit the nail on the head for the London market. So many bootcamps focus on Ruby but the demand is really for Javascript and their professional JS course is ridiculously thorough. I've tried a lot of different coding resources since starting my career and nothing quite beats face to face tuition with a professional. James, is a true master of his craft and his passion for quality code really rubs off on you!

Amazing Programme and Outstanding Support

The support at TheJump is just unbelievable; whenever I have a question or need help, I get personalised attention right away, and this continues even after graduating. I'm so proud to be part of TheJump family!
Not only did I learn everything in the curriculum, but I also had the chance to explore other topics that interested me through one-on-one support. The management at TheJump is amazing - they're transparent, honest, and so supportive. It really makes the whole bootcamp experience special. Thanks to TheJump, I landed a well-paid job, and I would 100% recommend this cost-effective program to anyone thinking about a career in software engineering. It's been a total game-changer for me, and I know it can be for you too! - Will HowardFull Stack Engineer • Graduate • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Part-Time (Live Online) • OnlineNov 29, 2023Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Very happy with The Jump
I can't thank Rob, Russell, James and Katie enough for their help in my journey to becoming a software engineer.
On my first call with Rob, he explained that he only wanted to progress with my application if he felt it was a good fit for me. This really stood out to me as I was quite hesitant about spending so much money. But clearly they aren't in this for the money.

This really stood out to me as I was quite hesitant about spending so much money. But clearly they aren't in this for the money. They care about whether or not the course is right for each student, and I felt the same care and attention throughout the rest of the course.
This is a company that really cares about each and every student.
I also want to especially commend Russell, my tutor. He's a fantastic teacher. He kept lessons light-hearted and fun while still being able to break down the complex topics to be easy to understand. And whenever I got stuck, or even if there was just a tech question I couldn't find the answer to on Google, he was always eager to hop on a zoom call and explain it to me.
I would highly recommend this course. I've even recommended it to a close friend of mine who is currently considering a career change. If you're passionate about tech, then you can't go wrong with The Jump.

The course gave me a solid grounding of JavaScript concepts before moving onto building projects with React which is clearly the most in demand framework which the majority of employers are looking for. The best part of the course is that the jump team prioritise your goals. Mine was to get a job as a developer and that’s what happened! I was also given great advice on what I should be trying to achieve with my job over the next 5 years. Both of our tutors over the course of the bootcamp were passionate about what they were teaching which made learning fun and engaging. After initially being unsure of taking the step of going on a bootcamp, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. - KCBusiness Support • Graduate • Front-End Developer Bootcamp | Full-Time (Live Online) • OnlineNov 07, 2022Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

The Jump is Great value for money. My tutor James is still supporting and answering some of my questions (obviously not asking to do my job for me). Support you get is invaluable, it is up to you to utilise the Teaching Assistants that are available along all the Lectures and home assignments.

The Jump is worth every penny and it has been the best decision I have made.
I had decided to make a career change from aviation to web development and The Jump helped make it happen so quickly and smoothly.
What put’s The Jump above other similar courses is that you’re not treated like a number. From the moment I expressed interest to the moment I got a job and even after that, everyone at The Jump truly cares about my learning and my career. This is achieved as they have small class sizes, about 10-15 per class I think at a maximum. This means your course mates and tutor can get to know you. You can ask questions during the lesson and have fun, it’s a very relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere to be in.
The owners, Rob, James and Katie, have created a truly exceptional course which goes into great depth on many subjects. By the end of the course you will have a brilliant portfolio of projects that demonstrate the knowledge you have gained.
Don’t get me wrong, software engineering may be one of the most challenging things to learn BUT the support network of other students as well as passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable tutors makes it significantly easier to do. Anyone who is truly driven to become a software developer will become one with the help of this course.
Once the course is over doesn’t mean you won’t continue to get support from everyone at The Jump. They will help you with projects, creating a CV, interview preparation and career advice.
Two weeks after finishing the last lesson I had a fantastic job offer from a large bank as a software engineer. So, in less than a year I had made a big career change and got myself on the ladder and I have The Jump to thank for that.
11/10 would recommend to anyone who is looking to become a software engineer.

I joined, made the commitment and studied hard with Russell, who is an excellent tutor, and supported me throughout.
The Course
The course was varied; beginning with HTML and CSS, it quickly gathered pace when we hit Javascript and by the time I reached React, I couldn't believe how far I'd come in a matter of months and how creative I could be with my code.
Of course, I sometimes doubted myself, but was constantly supported and never felt like I was left behind. They genuinely cared about everyone on the bootcamp, and that was refreshing.
On 'graduation', I took my time to finish my portfolio and began job hunting. Within two weeks, I had a new career as a developer.
I honestly can't believe how quick it's all been. It's been one of the best decisions I've ever made, and would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone looking for a supportive, friendly and fun learning environment.
TL;DR - The Jump genuinely care about your career; I began interviews and found myself in a new job within two weeks. If you're considering them, just go for it!
