    Professional Data Analysis

    I was a data analysis student at Codeclan from July-October 2021 as part of a virtual cohort.  Prior to the course my background was in IT project management but I was keen to move into a more technical role.  And I loved spreadsheets so thought the data course was probably a good bet :)

    I had high expectations going into the course because I'd been thinking about it for quite a while - the cost of the course being the main reason for delaying.  These expectations were definitely ...

    The journey begins

    Prior to CodeClan, my professional experience had primarily been limited to rigid, motonous roles. My last job was working in customer sevice for an online retailer of luxury fashion brands. At the time I was living in Germany and enjoying where I was, but not what I was doing. Chasing up missing pairs of Gucci socks with courier companies had run its course for me...

    I’d gotten interested in coding and had started learning online, but it was all very muddled and I wasn’t learnin...

    An excellent induction to Software Development

    This course is an excellent opportunity to enter into the world of software development.  This was an area I was not able to access before due to grades, however thanks to CodeClan I could learn the skills necessary and receive any support to move into a software development role. 

    The curriculum covers a lot in the 16 weeks. With the support of enthusiastic instructors though this is very much attainable. It does require a good level of commitment to spending time outside the sch...

    CodeClan Data Analysis Course

    Prior to CodeClan I had done a MChem with Biochemistry and worked as a Molecular Scientist for 2 years. I joined CodeClan having never coded before and did extensive research before joining about job prospects after the course from talking to people who had done the course and a senior tech recruiter in Edinburgh. I just knew the space around data science was moving at an huge pace and I wanted to be involved. I have now done loads of courses since leaving and CodeClans format and cultur...

    CodeScam

    CodeClan is very expensive. The education given can be found online if you do some research, but this is not what attracted me about CodeClan. It attracted me that I could learn so that later I could use that knowledge to be able to find a job, through them obviously, as they will always remind you that "99.9% of our students find a job right after CodeClan with our partners”, if you ask, 99.9%?, they will smile at you, correct themselves and say “well, maybe 97%”.

    Professional Software Development

    I've worked in hospitality for about 15 years, all positions up to the very top in three different continents and after having 3 kids and not much time spent with them I felt that this the right time of changing my career path. With some research online CodeClan was the one that seemed promising and now 2 months after I've graduated I couldn't be happier that I made that choice. As you will read from other students the course is not easy, you really need to know what you want and be inve...

    reality check!

     

    First of all, the instructors in terms of friendliness, the environment are all very good. But if you don't come with some prior knowledge in the IT field, the course goes very fast and there is no room/time/system in place for after class recaps for those that didn't understand the lesson that day. 

    This will last the whole course. And I wasn't the only one who felt that way. Quite a few told me they would leave if they could get all or at least so...

    Best Thing I have ever Done, CodeClan Thank you, I am eternally grateful

    On the 1st of October, I moved to Glasgow from London to start the CodeClan course.
    When I started the course, Code was just colours and jibrish for me, and now I am a fully qualified Software Developer, who can read and write code, and think of an idea and make it a reality.

    Let me start with Steve the legend, our instructor that taught us how to code from week one, Git and Ruby, until week sixteen, final full-stack project Java & React.
    Steve took very complicated...

    CodeClan was great for me.

    I was working in the bar trade before coming to Codeclan,  I had no real experience in coding.  I had dabbled here and there with the odd Unity course and made a few 'advanced' spreadsheets for business use.

    When I decided to leave the bar trade and look at my career options i found Codeclan,  I went along to an open night, thought it sounded right up my street and signed up.

    In short: I really enjoyed my time at CodeClan,  the course is inte...

    Student Review Cohort 4

    Little bit of background on me - I previously worked in Steel Sales in Aberdeen and was made redundant around December 2015. I had very little experience of coding prior to attending CodeClan and only had the most fundamental understanding of using a computer (i.e Microsoft office/browsing reddit etc.).  I heard about the course from my brother who had seen it on the BBC news and though sceptical of the cost (£4,500), look back on it as well worth the investment.

    I joined the co...

    A Kick-start To My Career

    I took a leap of faith with code clan and signed up for their first cohort (the name of the class groups).

    My previous experience with code was non existent and my background was too many years in retail.

    We covered Ruby, ruby on rails, sql, javascript, css and html.  The course isn't designed to make you a master programmer in 16 weeks. It's purpose is simply to equip you with the the foundation principles of software development and a basis to allow you to learn other...

    My dream journey started from CodeClan!

    I joined CodeClan with huge passion for coding and with nearly zero experience. And that was one of my best decission ever.

    The environment was amazing, each and everyone involved with CodeClan was very friendly and approachable. The main instructor was a genius, and it was a fun to be at his class!

    The curriculam was diverse, the main language they taught us was Ruby and ROR; along the path you would also learn SQL, NoSQL, TDD, CSS, JS etc. You have to give a ridiculou...
