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to undertake developer projects at work, unlike lots of other well-known coding boot camps, the program does not teach outdated teaching frameworks & languages that are no longer in demand.

James, the tutor, is very responsive to questions, and it was a real privilege to have a highly skilled and experienced developer to learn from throughout the course. 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!

The Fastest Path to Starting a New Career in Software Development

However, after speaking with Rob and the team, I made one of the best decisions of my life: I enrolled in The Jump’s part-time full stack software engineering course. And I’ve never looked back.The curriculum is designed in such a way that it breaks down complex concepts into manageable steps, unlocking more advanced topics as you progress. It’s a much faster and more structured way to learn than I could have achieved on my own. The course focuses on JavaScript and React, two of the most versatile and in-demand technologies in the industry, which made me feel confident about my job prospects.
What made The Jump invaluable to me was the level of support. Whenever I needed extra help outside of class, the team was always available for additional Zoom calls to work through any challenges. The career support after the course was just as valuable. I even had a mock interview with James, which really helped me prepare for real interviews.The team are clearly 100% dedicated to helping you succeed and have put a lot of work into designing a top notch syllabus to help you succeed in your new career path.
After completing The Jump course, I secured a software developer job in Canada, and I’m thrilled to be starting my new career path! - Fred PostlesUI Developer • Student • Full-Stack Developer Bootcamp | Part-Time (Live Online) • OnlineJul 29, 2024Overall ExperienceInstructorsCurriculumJob Assistance
Comprehensive Bootcamp with supportive team
Before enrolling on The Jump’s part-time Software Engineering bootcamp, I had been considering a career change for several years. When I finally decided to make the move, after eyeing up the options, I was practically decided and had actually been offered a fully-funded place on a full-time Brainstation bootcamp but after talking to Rob - one of the co-founders - I felt that as a small family business, The Jump would care more about my learning and success than a big company where I'd ju...Before enrolling on The Jump’s part-time Software Engineering bootcamp, I had been considering a career change for several years. When I finally decided to make the move, after eyeing up the options, I was practically decided and had actually been offered a fully-funded place on a full-time Brainstation bootcamp but after talking to Rob - one of the co-founders - I felt that as a small family business, The Jump would care more about my learning and success than a big company where I'd just be a number. From the start, it felt like they cared about us as people rather than just another student in a huge bootcamp. Rob also recommended that I consider the part-time bootcamp, as it would allow me to get more out of the program by giving me more time to go into each topic in depth, and this was certainly the case.
I completed the 30 week course while working and it was pretty full-on. I personally could have used a break part way through, as by the time we reached the backend section of the course my brain was overflowing with new concepts but luckily all the classes are recorded so I was able to revisit anything I needed to whenever I wanted. On top of that my instructor, Russell, was an excellent teacher, as well as being very approachable and always open to a 1-on-1 call to help with anything we needed. I should also say that on Russell’s suggestion, my peers set up a WhatsApp group and a Discord where we could help each other through problems and share tips, which was another source of support.
The Jump also offers strong career support, including an industry-appropriate CV rewrite, career change advice, interview tips, and guidance on dealing with recruiters, based on Rob's recruitment experience. They also provided practice interviews and teacher support for 1-on-1s after the course, supporting me to find a job.
Even after finishing the course, The Jump remained approachable and supportive. It took me a while to get my first role due to personal reasons and a tricky market after mass layoffs. When I was made redundant from my first job after less than 6 months, I received a below market-rate offer for a new role elsewhere and Rob helped me negotiate a better offer - over a year after finishing the course!

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.

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.

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. 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.
