Edwin

"I was working for more than 10 years in the Stock insurance industry as an administrator. I realised that the scope for growth was limited. I approached my HR manager to see if they will fund my studies in coding as I have always desired to move into coding. As the company used Java, the HR manager approved me studying at a leading Java College, Code College. I attended one week in class per month with study leave and was working the rest of the month, while doing my assignments after hours. When I completed I was immediately moved to the Java team and my salary increased dramatically after that! This was a life-changing course for me!"

Jolanda

"I was working in product support of an HR software supplier for 10 + years and I was very unhappy at being under-utilised for so long. I decided to study while working and opted for the 5 days per month in the classroom and 3 weeks assignemnts after-hours. It was very tough because I was a single mom and I had limited time. I took a bit longer to complete everything (18 months) but I enjoyed every minute of it. I found a job in a leading IT company as a .NET developer after I did a small conversion course recommended by Code College - from Java to .NET"

Xolani

"I was brought up by my mother, a domestic worker who worked for a very supportive family. I was able to go to a good school and I was quite interested in Maths at school although I was not an academic- superstar - just average. I knew I could not afford any studies, so I applied for funding based upon my good Maths marks in matric. Code College sponsored me and I did the Java Bootcamp, paying it back only after I found a job. I must mention - this was my life-changing experience and I can only recommend it! I am now a top developer in one of the big 5 banks and I am earning a six plus figure salary per annum."

Neo

"I was 18 years old just after matric when I enrolled in the Java Bootcamp. I was a good student and was deligeted that my parents would send me on this course, instead of to University because we could not afford university. I worked hard and networked with my friends to get the most out of my studies. I got a job in my 11th month at Code College, as a Junior Java Developer at one of the big banks, and I have grown into my career! I can recommend this course because it is hands-on and prepares you for the employment world!"





Frequently Asked Questions

Programming refers to the process of creating instructions (code) that a computer can understand and execute.
