FAQs

I don’t have any background in coding, IT, or computer science. Can I still apply for these online coding bootcamps?

Sure you can. Many of our students successfully switch careers to programming after taking our bootcamps, even if they were absolutely new to programming when starting out. If your aim is to change careers, bootcamps are designed to help you achieve that from scratch.

To enrol with us, you don’t need to have a degree or prior technical background - all you need is discipline, persistence, and a willingness to work hard and learn to code.

I don’t have regular access to the Internet. Is this a problem, as all of your bootcamps are online?

Our bootcamp participants don't need access to the Internet every day. Our bootcamp delivery is designed so that you can download the material and work on your tasks offline. Once you are connected to the internet, all the work in your folder automatically gets synchronised with your mentor. Your mentor will be notified immediately and will provide timely feedback.

How do I know which coding bootcamp is right for me?

Software Engineering enables you to build dynamic, database-driven applications and sites. Deep-dive into Python: the #1 programming language in the world right now.

Web Development teaches JavaScript, HTML, CSS, React and more. These skills allow you to manage the front-end of any website. From building to styling. Creatives often choose Web Development as do aspiring web entrepreneurs.

Data Science prepares you for the exciting world of algorithms, data analytics and data visualisation. You’ll learn Python and get your start in Machine Learning and AI. Perfect for those seeking analytical roles.

Will I receive a certificate after I complete the bootcamp?

Yes. You will be issued a certificate of completion from HyperionDev in partnership with The University of Edinburgh once you complete your bootcamp.

How much time do I need to commit to complete one of your bootcamps?

We recommend devoting an average of 10-20 hours per week to ensure you’re able to meet key milestones and keep up with the rest of the cohort. Bootcamps are by design brief, challenging, and aim to support you in direct routes to a new career in tech.

The final month of the bootcamp will also see the introduction of Career Services support. We’ll polish your CV, you can start lining up your first tech interview, and we help get you truly job-ready.
