We have been working on solutions to technical vocational training since 2012 and no one has a better understanding than us of key motivators for employers, when looking to hire or promote junior / apprentice developers. Everyone In software development is self taught to a certain extent and most people hiring (or influencing the hire) are unlikely to have come through formal education in computer science.

In this career we never stop learning - an appetite for learning and self teaching and a clear interest in the job are the most important things we can show. This course is designed to help you showcase these traits with real code examples and an understanding of the tools of the trade and working best practice.
