I'm not sure what level of overall accreditation this course provides, but I needed to retrain as a programmer.
I am a developer who started my professional career in the 90s, with languages like ASM and C, and I developed many projects in working environments like Visual Studio and with Waterfall methodologies. Today it is essential to work with rapid prototyping languages, in cloud-oriented projects, and in much more flexible development environments.

This course has provided me with the level of information and skills to tackle new projects with current tools and methodologies.
Because of my availability and the complexity of the projects that CI requires, it was not easy for me to graduate, but I do not regret taking this course.

Excellent Learning Curve
When I started at Code Institute I had absolutely zero coding knowledge. The course material that they offer at Code Institute is absolutely fantastic, it takes and excellent curve in terms of difficulty, however it is also extremely understandable and digestible.
I could not recommend this course enough! - Monika MakStudent • Diploma in Full Stack Software Development & Specializations • OnlineVerified by LinkedInOct 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Feel like I'm not on my own
I have done a lot of self studying before and it felt lonely at times.
Joining Code Institute made me feel so much part of a team with extreme support on each step of a journey. I have attended 2 Hackathons and each was an incredible speed up of my learnings along with presentable soft skills that are so much in demand. (eg. Teamwork, collaboration). Employees love theses skills and knowing there is so much opportunity to showcase them with Code Institute is a huge bonus.

Full Stack Web Development
I completed Full Stack Web Development Diploma with specialisation in e-commerce. It takes 52 intense weeks, a lot of discipline and self learning but you learn plenty. At times it felt course structure could to be adjusted slightly and content updated (something they are doing slowly) but overall they managed to fit in a lot of knowledge in fairly short time. Support is great from peers, tutors and your own mentor too.

Great learning experience
Going into this bootcamp with almost 0 coding experience, this course has been very challenging, but also rewarding. The course material was very well structured, but could use some updates for outdated content. My experience with the instructors and mentors was fantastic. My assigned mentor was extremely helpful, from start to finish. I really recommend using the mentor support. - Soroush GholamrezaGraduate • Diploma in Full Stack Software Development & Specializations • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 05, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

My experience on Code Institute
I recently completed my bootcamp last month and overall, I found the curriculum to be quite comprehensive. The classes were highly interactive, which kept things engaging, but there were moments where the theoretical aspects felt a bit tedious. My specialization was in data analysis, and in this area, I felt that there wasn't enough support from the student care team, which is something they could improve upon.However, regarding the rest of the full stack course, I believe it ...I recently completed my bootcamp last month and overall, I found the curriculum to be quite comprehensive.

My specialization was in data analysis, and in this area, I felt that there wasn't enough support from the student care team, which is something they could improve upon.However, regarding the rest of the full stack course, I believe it covers a wide range of topics effectively. One suggestion I have is that upon completing the course, they could offer graduates the opportunity to pursue an additional specialization, even if it means paying an additional fee.Overall, the bootcamp provided a solid foundation and valuable skills, but there are areas where enhancements could make the experience even better for future students. - Andreas SandbergGraduate • Diploma in Full Stack Software Development & Specializations • OnlineVerified by GitHubSep 02, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Challenging, engaging and rewarding.
I've always had an interest in programming, though I was quite inexperienced before the diploma. Being a creative individual, I always tried to imagine what you could build using computers. My decision to finally take the plunge, was made thanks to the five day coding challenge. Enrolling in the course, I assumed it would be challenging, but for students with little or no experience in programming, the learning curve might appear steep and the material overwhealming at times.

Enrolling in the course, I assumed it would be challenging, but for students with little or no experience in programming, the learning curve might appear steep and the material overwhealming at times. However, I never felt that I was alone on this journey, thanks to our wonderful slack community, frequent tutor support and the mentoring sessions provided by Code Institute. At times I experienced the course material to be a bit outdated and I had to work with earlier dependencies to make my projects work. However, employing a solution-focused mindset is somehing that I believe is important if you want to be a developer. Anyone looking for a serious challenge and who is willing to be teachable, will reap the rewards of being familiar with several programming languages and having built five portfolio projects at the end of the course. - Joshua RonanStudent • DublinVerified by GitHubAug 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance

But it was not easy… From having a full time job, being a full time dad, 1 hour commutes each way to and from work, waking up at 6 and getting home at 6… and only later on in the evening could I learn and code. But I made it, I made my 10 year old self proud, I achieved something that has always eluded me… And I do thank you Code Institute, I will never forget this experience. - Sakibur ChowdhuryGraduate • DublinVerified by LinkedInAug 27, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob AssistanceN/A

An Outstanding Journey with Code Institute’s Full Stack Web Developer Course
I enjoy this course, especially its practical focus and well-structured, concise theory explanations. The mentor support has been invaluable in helping me understand and develop a global logic for my projects. A tip for future students: having some prior knowledge of JavaScript and Python is helpful, as the course becomes more challenging after HTML and CSS. - Mihaly Gergely LovrencsicsOperations Supervisor • Graduate • DublinVerified by LinkedInAug 21, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
