Who it's for

TechSwitch is for anyone from any background who wants to make the move into software development. For example, you might be… 

  • Working in another sector and seeking a change from your existing career (of at least 2 years), perhaps for a better work-life balance, a more challenging role, or a more cutting-edge industry.

or

  • On a career break, and looking to return to work in a way that fits around your life.

What we teach

Our 12 week course focuses on teaching full-stack development. We start with JavaScript and lead into further web development (React, Typescript, HTML, CSS) and then bring in C#/.NET as the backend technology as well as more advanced development.

There are two group projects during the course, one after the initial web development section and a final multi-week group project at the end of the course which incorporates everything you have learned over the 12 weeks. We don't just teach you how to code. We also introduce you to ways of working, tools, and techniques you will use in your new role as a developer.

Why TechSwitch
  • An award-winning career switch programme
  • 12-week software development bootcamp in a relaxed environment
  • Trainers who are developers themselves and bring their lived experience
  • Top-of-the-range equipment throughout your training
  • Career and placement support
  • £30,000 annual salary for the duration of your placement
  • 20 days' annual holiday entitlement
  • Wellbeing activities and support
  • An amazing alumni community

Break into tech

Break into tech

We see potential, not experience. Our applicants don’t need to have been coding for years or have studied computer science to become great software developers.

By gaining skills and experience in other industries and roles, they bring something extra to the table. As a developer, they have more dimensions than someone who went through a traditional route into coding.

How to apply

our training

We know that software development isn’t just about languages. Our training provides the foundations to make sure our learners are able to apply their skills to any languages, tools, and frameworks in the future.

Learners are also taught best-practice techniques to ensure they immediately fit right into any development team.
