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.

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.

Sure you can. Many of our students successfully switch careers to programming after taking our courses, 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.

Our students don't need access to the Internet everyday. Our course delivery is designed so that you can download the course 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.

From the start date of the course, you must commit to 3 criteria:

Criteria 1 involves specific achievements within the first two weeks of the program. To meet this criteria, students need to:
- Attend/Achieve a minimum of 15 hours of Guided Learning Hours (GLH) within the initial two-week period (14 calendar days).
- Successfully complete the first four assigned tasks by the end of the first 14 days.
- This criteria aligns with Milestone 1, which expects 10 GLH completion within the initial two weeks.

Criteria 2 involves showcasing your progress after completing the course. To meet this criteria, students should:
- Have attended (live) a minimum of 100 Guided Learning Hours (GLH) by the completion of the Skills Bootcamp (i.e support end date).
- Complete the mandatory tasks of your bootcamp before the end date of the core study period of the bootcamp.
- Record an Invitation to Interview: Within 4 weeks of finishing the course, or by the latest 30 March 2024 (whichever comes first).
- Students are required to document receiving an invitation to an interview. This time frame is estimated within 20 weeks from the course's commencement. This criteria corresponds to Milestone 2, which requires receiving an interview invitation within eight weeks of graduating from the program or by the latest 30 March 2024 (whichever comes first).

Meeting Criteria 2 signifies a commendable progression in the academic journey and positively influences a students eligibility for university co-certification. At 16 weeks from your start date, you should spend at least 15 hours per week on completing the core programming and technical tasks of the bootcamp itself.

Criteria 3 revolves around showcasing the progression to employment shortly after completing the Skills Bootcamp. To meet this criteria, students should:
- Record a Final Job Outcome: Within 12 weeks of graduating from the course, students are required to document achieving a final job outcome, such as securing an offer of employment, an internship, or a related opportunity.
- This criteria corresponds to Milestone 3, which requires attaining a job placement within six months of graduating from the program.

If a student successfully meets all three criteria, a valuable opportunity for university co-certification becomes available.

As such, this Skills Bootcamp is designed specifically to fill urgent tech skills gaps in the UK and you may find that if your goal is to upskill or stay in your current role for longer than 40 weeks from the start date of the Skills Bootcamp, one of our non of our Skills Bootcamps programmes may be suitable for your goals.

Our Skills Bootcamps consist of:

a) Asynchronous grading and tasks in which you will read, watch and interact with course content to submit tasks that are graded. You can do this at your own pace, subject to submission deadlines.

b) Synchronous lectures which are scheduled every 1-2 days during your bootcamp. It isn't possible for us to find a time that everyone can attend, so you'll also be able to watch recordings of these.

c) Synchronous 1 on 1 mentor calls where you'll be able to book up to 3 weekly 1:1 synchronous mentor calls each week during the 16 weeks of study time. In these, you'll be able to discuss and get unstuck on tricky technical issues in your bootcamp.

d) Synchronous Careers support where you'll be invited to a series of careers webinars to help you find a new job in tech, which may include sessions hosted by our hiring partners, career fairs, and consist of sessions diving into how to build a technical CV and improve your skills at technical interviewing.

e) Asynchronous student success support where our student success team will be available to support you via email on any issues you have during your studies, such as issues setting up software and life issues that we understand can get in the way of completion.

While our bootcamps are designed to be taken asynchronously, we have the following requirements from the DfE for synchronous teaching to ensure you are orientated and on track:

a) In the first two weeks of your bootcamp, you will also be required to attend - live - any combination of 10 hours worth of 1:1 mentor calls, live lectures, and onboarding webinars. If you are admitted, we will give you as much notice as possible of these sessions so you can schedule them accordingly.

b) In further weeks of your bootcamp, you will have more flexibility on the attendance of these sessions but will be required to attend a total of 112 hours of a combination of mentor calls, live lectures, career support sessions, and onboarding webinars in the 16 weeks - 7 hours per week.

Yes, the majority of students studying with CoGrammar on Skills Bootcamps and other bootcamps are working full-time in a non-tech role, with a goal to move into a tech role.

Please however note the time requirements of the Skills Bootcamp and attendance requirements. While we do have 1:1 mentor call slots and lectures scheduled for after UK working hours, some of these fall during working hours UK time and if you are working full-time you may need to plan your attendance. We will share schedules for synchronous sessions as early as possible so you can plan ahead.

We are pleased to have started the first cohort of Skills Bootcamps in 2022. Since then, we have passed a Department for Education audit on all elements of learning and delivery, and as a result of the quality recorded, the DfE made a decision to increase the number of Skills Bootcamp places we are able to award.

We have also compiled hundreds of anonymous feedback forms from Skills Bootcamp students who have studied with us, and as of early 2023 over 80% of these respondents rate their overall experience on our Skills Bootcamps as 'Good' or 'Excellent'.

CoGrammar has partnered with a number of Top UK Russell Group university partners, to offer a limited number of co-certified places on our DfE funded Skills Bootcamps.

This means that if you are admitted and based on the date you record an invite to an interview for a new job in tech (or new work contracts if you are self-employed), you may be awarded a co-certified certificate of completion from any one of these partners. You'll get to express your preference of available university partner during the course itself, and as a result, there is one application process for all partners.

Please note that you may not be awarded a co-certified certificate, and may just receive a CoGrammar certificate of completion. Also note that as part of the course, you'll be guided in applying for new jobs and work contracts and also introduced to our employer network, so you definitely won't be alone but in fact strongly supported in this process.

As mentioned in the question above, you will receive either a CoGrammar certificate of completion or a co-certified and co-branded CoGrammar + university co-certificate.

To be eligible for a certificate, you will be required to complete all criteria as outlined and may be required to also record other data that we are required to report to the DfE.

Yes, if you do not keep up with progression or breach our Code of Conduct (which relates to plagiarism as well as to adhering to non-abusive behaviour towards our staff or other students, which will be shared with you in full if you receive an offer) you may be disenrolled from the Bootcamp. In cases of disenrollment, we are required to report this to the DfE.

We are required by the DFE to deliver teaching for a maximum of 16 weeks. As such, our Skills Bootcamps cover less content and are shorter in duration than our other bootcamps, which you may find more suitable.

We will not be able to deliver content and teach you under Skills Bootcamp funding that is not within the Skills Bootcamp itself, though there may be opportunities for you to access further bootcamps, teaching, and university co-certification at a discount to our commercial prices. You will not be charged for any element of a Skills Bootcamp.
