There are already loads of great reasons to study with Makers: we’re proud to be Europe’s leading software engineering training course and our intensive four-month program (including a month-long PreCourse) sets you up to become a high quality professional software engineer.
Our Careers team is absolutely dedicated to finding you a job after the end of the course. Our hiring network includes more than 250 of London’s top technology companies (including but not limited to Deliveroo, British Gas, Starling Bank, Financial Times, Compare The Market.com, and Tesco).
Our course has been designed by a team of inspirational software engineers with strong backgrounds in educational psychology, enabling you to master any technology in today’s marketplace.
We’re big believers in self-directed learning, which builds your confidence generally — as recent Maker Marcus explores in his analysis here.
We only accept carefully chosen applicants as this is a rigorous program.While we’re highly selective, what we focus on is your passion for becoming a developer: there’s no better way to do this than by gauging how much you’ve learnt to code on your own already.
Once you’ve joined Makers, we unapologetically have a huge emphasis on holistic learning. Yoga and meditation and developing your own emotional intelligence and awareness are a crucial part of the Makers experience.
During your time at Makers, you’re likely to make some wonderful friends for life — recent Maker Dania shares her own tribute to her Makers mates here.
On top of all the above, we’re committed to building a more inclusive tech industry, through offering discounts for women and running a Fellowship program to make the course more accessible.
If you’re serious about changing careers then we’d love you to help you on your journey. We’ve successfully done this over 1,000 times now.
When you study with Makers, we guarantee a job offer being in place for you within 6 months of graduation as long as you have successfully completed your job hunting activities.
You’ll get a full refund if you finish the course, follow our job hunting guidelines and don’t get an offer of full-time employment as a software dev within six months. The T&Cs will be more detailed, but this is the general gist.
The job offer guarantee only applies to paying students and not to Fellows. If you don’t want to take up the job guarantee, that’s totally fine with us.
If you are offered a job as a software developer, you’re successful. If you don’t like it later, we’ll try to help you as much as we can but unfortunately we won’t be able to refund you.
Of course, like anything else, we’re willing to chat it out so do feel free to bring up any concerns during your application process.
