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.

    Great in-depth course and a fantastic experience

    I joined The Jump after doing a lot of research (and self-learning). When I say a lot, I mean a lot! I spoke with several 'big name' bootcamps, and was really surprised that in one case, they were unable to show me recent student projects, and in another that they didn't teach Javascript.
    After finding the Jump and speaking to the team, it was really clear that after 30 weeks studying on the part-time curriculum, I could graduate with an in-depth knowledge of web...

    Full stack web developer bootcamp

    I was first taught by James at General Assembly, and when I heard that he had opened his own school, it was enough of a push to make me sign up and actually commit to something I’d been um-ing and ah-ing over for ages. 

    The Jump is very much a family affair - its run by a group of people who happen to be an actual family, but once you’re in, you’re basically part of the family too. Not only do they take you on this mammoth rollercoaster ride of programming but they also look after...

    In depth software engineering training

    I joined the Jump with a little knowledge of web technologies and an eagerness to learn. After looking at different schools & programs, I decided upon The Jump because of the syllabus which was relevant and up to date with industry standards, which I checked with friends already working in the web development sphere.  In an industry where the technology evolves faster than any potential curriculum could keep up, it is important to have a tutor who follows the la...

    Going from SEO to Developer

    I joined the jump with the goal of learning the skills required to build my own apps, as I have experience marketing websites. Since graduating not only have I built what I wanted to, but I'm now building tools, chrome extensions and more. I'm so pleased with the curriculum, format and team and would recommend the full stack course for both beginners and people who have done a few online courses but are looking to bring it all together.

    An up-to-date in-depth course with great alumni support

    I joined The Jump knowing no code at all, and the Full Stack Web Development course gave me a strong foundation to be able to undertake various development projects and further progress on my own. I was looking for thorough tuition developing a proper understanding of all the aspects of the code and the development process, and I got so much more than that.

    Graduate

    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.

    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.

    An in depth course at half the cost with the best aftercare!

    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...

    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. 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 pro...

    No complaints at all. Overall a really great experience from start to finish. I genuinely loved the classes, the structure, and the way everything was handled. It’s honestly a bit sad that they closed down, because it was one of the better experiences I’ve had. Hopefully they reopen soon. I’d highly, highly, highly recommend this to anyone considering it.

    The Fastest Path to Starting a New Career in Software Development

    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...

    I'm so grateful for the amazing experience I had with TheJump Digital School's part-time Full Stack Software Engineering Bootcamp. The amount of stuff I learned is just outstanding, thanks to incredible instructors like Russell Wilkes, who's an extremely knowledgeable and experienced software engineer.

    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. They care about whether or not the course is right for each student, and I felt the same care and attention throu...

    I really enjoyed my course with The Jump and the things that I learnt meant I managed to get a job a few months after graduation! Compared to other bootcamps, The Jump seemed to have quite small classes (mine was 8) meaning if you needed any support it was readily available. James and Russell always had time for me if needed and seemed genuinely investesting in making sure I got the best out of my time with them.The course was challenging, I worked full time from 9 ...

    After shopping around for different boot camps, I came across The Jump which looked like a the most beneficial and affordable option which could fit around my job at the time. 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.

    5* Course with amazing post-course support

    I looked at several online Bootcamp courses and I chose The Jump, not only because of the course content but also because of the post-course support they offered. This included help with your CV, portfolio and prep for your interviews.

    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. Don't get me wrong - you still need to be motivated and do the work. But if you are someone who is ready to tackle some complicated problems - this is for you!

    Background
    As a full-time working mum, it was difficult to find a course that would provide security where I could learn and work at the same time. I found The Jump and spoke to Robert who from the beginning seemed to cut through all the other bullsh*t you can get from other bootcamps and seemed to genuinely care about my reasoning behind making a career move.
