Makers

Makers Academy is a fully immersive, 12 week computer programming bootcamp. It's like Oxbridge meets the Royal Marines, but for people who want to learn to code, and designed to turn people with no knowledge of web-development into job-ready junior developers in just 12 weeks. We’re Europe’s #1 Developer Bootcamp, running selective classes of our offline course every 6 weeks, and our online Ronin course every 12 weeks. We’re based in Aldgate East, a stone's throw away from London’s Silicon Roundabout. We take a "learn by doing" approach, through self-directed, project-based work. Students are encouraged to work in pairs on coding challenges, with weekly tests, culminating in a final project. We actively support our graduates into work, helping set up job interviews with our network of hiring partners. Of the ~500 students who have graduated so far, almost everybody who has finished our course with the intention of becoming a developer has achieved this within 3 months of graduating.
