Who is Code Institute?

Want to learn to code? Brian O'Grady, Programme Director at Code Institute tells us about what our Diploma in Software Development is all about.

Software Developers are in huge demand everywhere.

A career in software development is one of the most rewarding roles there is. It’s innovative, inventive, proactive and fast-paced. It’s also a way of life that offers excellent salaries and working conditions.

The best way to get that career is through education.

Code Institute actively works with some of the biggest tech companies around the globe. Their message to us is that there is a massive shortage of high-quality software developers to work with their products and realise their goals. These highly innovative organisations choose our graduates to meet their needs.

Code Institute’s Diploma in Software Development is the most widely validated coding boot camp in the world. We are university credit-rated, recognised in the US for University credit hours, and approved in Canada, UK, Ireland, Sweden and Singapore Ministries of Education.

Our experts design our Full Stack Software Development program with input from our Industry Advisory Council. This council is made up of global tech companies like PayPal, GSK, Accenture, RedHat, CPL, and more.

The council provides validation and guidance around the education and certification programs created by Code Institute. Its input means that our students are learning the skills, languages and tools needed for industry. Students finish our program, career-focused and industry-ready.

Our program syllabus is based on a module path that will take you on a journey from absolute novice, to a confident world-class junior developer. This journey begins with our coding fundamentals series and then moves on to user-centric and interactive front end development, where you will learn how to build beautiful interactive interfaces. From there, you’ll dive into practical and data-centric python programming. When you reach full stack frameworks with Django, you will have arrived with a set of practical skills, ready to take on industry-standard full stack project work.

As you go through our program, you’ll learn the skills and tools for software development, and you’ll start to think like a software developer. Your problem-solving skills will come to the fore as you begin to create and nurture your projects.

All of this is achieved through a series of mini and milestone projects. These projects are what your program is graded on. They act as your portfolio and are the proof of your abilities to potential employers and collaborators.

We believe in social learning. As part of our educational environment, our program is delivered on our customised Learning Platform, which was created as a joint venture between MIT and Harvard. This platform forms the core of an ecosystem of tools, services and supports that you, and students from all over the world, will interact with on a daily basis.

When you finish the Code Institute program, you will be in an ideal position to be hired. You will hold a globally recognised university credit-rated diploma. You will be career-focused and industry-ready, and you’ll be equipped with a confidence and a portfolio that will take you wherever you need to go next.
