Software Development

TechSwitch was a fantastic learning experience for me. The course covers a raft of common languages to expose you to the full  development stack. Best of all, the projects are very hands-on and practical. Time spent learning useless theory or memorisation is kept to an absolute minimum. The teachers are super helpful and supportive. Plus there's a free hoodie :)

I am returning to a career in IT after a long career break and with very outdated technical skills. Techswitch has been an excellent course both in terms of technical knowledge and support and mentoring. The trainers are fantastic and the projects are interesting and relevant.

Amazing 12 week bootcamp with great learning and support. The course content is good and takes you through the practical approach. We as a team completed two projects. It was a perfect balance to learn through exercises and projects which were challenging in a good way. We got good support throughout the project from our trainers and co-ordinator. Good support is provided with CV writing and answering interview questions. Techswitch team is really wonderful and supportive. It was truly a wonderful experience!

TechSwitch is a great opportunity for anyone looking to break into the development industry. The syllabus took me through frontend and backend development, and after completing the course I had a more in depth understanding of both. The support with interviewing for getting a placement was great, it allowed me to feel comfortable and practise how to handle the process. 

I applied for the place in a 12-week course in the middle of March. The course started at the end of April. In general, the applying process was straightforward with excellent communication and support from the manager: all my questions were answered honestly and quickly. I was given a prereading tasks in C# and JavaScript to start coding before the beginning of the course. The course is well planned, well delivered and full of interesting tasks and challenges. I can't praise enough our instructor as he is very intelligent, patient and approachable. My day at TechSwitch day started with a lecture, explanation of the tasks, and then most of the time we worked in pairs learning from each other. If we were stuck help was always available. As a team we completed two exciting projects and presented them in front of the audience. It was a great experience of software development process. I also had a lot of support with writing cv and biography as well as answering interview questions. We even had two mock interviews and feedback for each. In terms of coding, I learned GitHub, JavaScript (React, Typescript, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap) and then  C#/.NET as the backend technology.
