"Novata has worked with TechSwitch for over a year and we have been consistently impressed by the quality of talent put forward. We find that the engineers coming out of the programme are particularly well-rounded and mature given their previous experience in different roles - they bring with them new perspectives and ways of working that help to drive productivity in our teams. Both the participants on the programme and those running TechSwitch have always been a pleasure to work with."
Owen Riddall
Co-founder, Chief Product & Technology Officer

"We were facing a short-term staffing problem, but wanted a long-term solution rather than hiring a contractor. TechSwitch was easy to work with throughout, with clear CVs and personal statements that made it easy to shortlist candidates based on their aspirations and preferences, rather than just meaningless lists of technologies.
Ken's had a fantastic impact on our business. His experience prior to coding has made him a more rounded developer. I know he's a safe pair of hands to complete a task, or let me know if there are any questions, rather than just head down a rabbit hole and get stuck. He's also given useful ideas around product development, more than I would expect from a recent graduate with a similar level of coding experience."

TechSwitch is an opportunity that is rare in the tech industry: an opportunity to explore a completely new discipline in a majority woman and majority WOC learning environment. It was exciting, engaging, and a fantastic foundation for a career in programming.

The bootcamp was a life-changing experience for me, it provided the opportunity to turn an interest into a career. Despite having little prior coding experience, I was fully supported throughout the course which covered multiple aspects of software development.

I was not new to coding but was returning to it after a long break. The course is intense and focuses on projects from day one, using all the latest industry processes and standards. In no time, it gave me the confidence to take a stack of technologies, put them together and create complex applications.
