Alex's Story.

“The course seemed like a great place to start my journey to become a junior developer. I Learned the programming language Python. The first steps were challenging but my course tutors were always on hand to answer any questions and make me feel more comfortable. My skills had grown loads in just 2 weeks and felt like working in a development team on the project assignment. Going from not being able to code to creating and building a game that functioned and worked in python was amazing.

I’ve taken those skills to the next level and I’m now an apprentice software developer.”
