Low quality compare to what you pay

The videos recorded in 5 years ago with low quality.
If you ask anything about your project from your mentor , your mentor will say google it.
honestly I'm regret to paid £7000.00 for this course.
my advise to you is just learn everything from Youtube and google. doesn't worth to do it.

Dear Foad,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry to hear that your experience hasn't met your expectations. While some of our videos were recorded several years ago, they are regularly audited to ensure relevance in today's fast-paced environment.

Additionally, our support network is robust, including Student Care, tutors, mentors, and a vibrant Slack community where learners can connect and receive support.

It's important to note that researching queries on Google is a fundamental skill that our program encourages, helping learners develop problem-solving capabilities. We recognize that some students may have different expectations, and our onboarding aims to address this by clarifying what our course offers.

Your feedback is invaluable, and we are continually striving to enhance our offerings. Please feel free to reach out directly if you'd like to discuss this further.

Really enjoyed it

Really enjoyed it. It's a bit frustrating that you have to submit your details every time you want to look at any course content or receive a download as this seems to generate a new enquiry every time and leads to duplication.

Did most of what it said on the tin.

The course was free and accredited, exactly as advertised, and I have recieved a certificate (pdf) that has an official accreditation ref number. It offered a good introduction into coding, with fairly simple step by step guides. I personally found that to fully understand some of the lessons, I needed to attempt to repeat and modify the code in Visual Studio so I could see the effects. Also, in some instances, I needed to find alternative explanations for some of what we had done, or why some code wasn't working, as the videos by themselves were not enough (ChatGPT can be a useful tool for code debugging). Overall, I would recommend taking the course, as it is a solid introduction to HTML and CSS. JavaScript, not so much.

Best way to start with Coding

Super easy to manage and had a chat support not just for doubts but sharing our experience. Since it was my first time learning the subject, the challenge help me understand the main components of coding. Super recommended.

Challenging and fun

I recently completed a 5-day coding challenge focused on learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for designing webpages, and it was a great experience!

The challenge was well-paced, with each day covering different aspects of web design, starting from the basics and gradually progressing to more advanced topics. I appreciated how each day’s content built on the previous one, helping me to understand both the structure and style of webpages, as well as how to add interactivity with JavaScript.

The practical exercises were the highlight of the challenge, allowing me to apply what I learned by creating real projects. It was rewarding to see my progress from simple designs to more polished, interactive pages. The instructions were clear, and there was plenty of support throughout the process.

Overall, this 5-day challenge is a great way to get started with web design and development. It’s perfect for anyone looking to build a solid foundation in coding and start creating their own webpages.

"Perfect introduction to Coding for Beginners"

I recently completed the Five Days Coding Challenge, and it was a great experience! Despite having no prior coding experience, everything explained clearly, making it easy to follow along and stay motivated. The challenge was structured in a way that allowed me to see real progress each day and gave me a solid introduction to what working in this field might feel like.
This challenge has truly shown me whether i would enjoy a career in coding, and i'm now even more excited to explore this path further. Highly recommend it to anyone curious about coding, no matter their background!

Its a good way of trying out a course…

Its a good way of trying out a course before buying. It gives you an insight of what to expect and to see whether it’s for you or not. The staff are really helpful too, they helped me with any problems I came accross and were very responsive.

It was well organised and easy to understand. It also had videos for those who find watching more effective and had practical work for those who found that more effective overall good experience.

The course was great, but lack of support

The course was great as you can do it in your own time and it covers the main principles of software development. I did contact the necessary people on slack for help to further explain Java, but no one responded. I will not be moving forward with this company due to the lack of help which concerns me if I signed up to a course.

Good course providing a brief overview of web development and coding.

Good course with a brief overview of web coding. I enjoyed it and would like to learn more. Provides insight into web development and career applications.

I would've liked to finished the course with a better understanding of Java and its applications - with more examples and challenges perhaps.

But overall, very engaging and informative!
