Nology

 The 12-week software development course by _nology is an amazing course that offers exposure to a plethora of programming knowledge and skills by introducing new concepts in the morning and working on projects in the afternoon. It is mainly frontend-oriented, but you do get exposure to backend programming towards the end of the course as well.

It has a great balance of learning and applying your knowledge in fun projects. I am really grateful for participating in this course, and I would recommend it to folks who want to change their careers and come from a different background, but also to computer science graduates that are looking to get more practical experience.

It as an intensive and challenging course, but it is definitely worth it! You will get exposure to a real-life client project, you'll have an amazing support system with coaches and mentors that care about your learning as well as your well-being. On top of everything, _nology provides access to employers which is something that not many bootcamps offer. Their support and networking continues even after the course, where you will be contacted with job opportunities.

You'll find yourself challenged and perhaps stressed, but you'll always have the amazing people and your team to lift you up and keep you going. You will learn to work in an agile environment and get tips on how to thrive in interviews and tech tests and impress employers. 

The course opened a door for me that I thought was long gone. When I heard I could learn to become a software developer in 12 weeks , I was doubtful, but now after graduating from the course I’ve gain a solid foundation to build off and launch my career in tech!

The course is well structured and the instructors really take their time to ensure you understand what you are learning , the learning environment is very welcoming and relaxed ,  it never felt rushed and I felt the instructors generally care about you as a person and your learning progression. 

The course gave me many valuable experiences but perhaps the most valuable one is working  on a project for a  real-life client. This experience has really reinforced many of my learnings and allowed me to experience working in a professional environment similar to those in the industry. 

They even go above and beyond by hosting talks with mentors who have experience in the industry, help you improve your soft-skills, prepare you for  your tech tests and holding end of week retrospective to take in any input you have.

The staffs really take care of you , often holding 1-to-1 to check up on how you are doing , and I just felt like I was really being looked after.

Overall, I am so glad I took this course and would highly recommended it to those who are serious about changing their career!

Doing the 12-week Software Developer course was honestly one of the best decisions of my life. 

Not only is the course itself great, the instructors are also super knowledgeable & supportive, you work on a real life client project (best part of the course), you receive employability training & interview prep, the course content is tailored to the industry so that you know you are learning relevant skills, by the end of the 12 weeks you've got yourself a finished portfolio with several different projects to showcase to employers and you get help with finding a job.

From my initial application all the way to the end of the course every interaction I had with Nology was super positive, they were really encouraging and supportive, and just 2 days after the course had finished I was offered a job as part of Nology's Consultancy programme.

I would definitely recommend this course to anyone trying to get into tech!

The _nology course porvided more than I could have ever imagined. I have just completed my course and am being offered a job through _nology. I have previous experience in coding and have still learned an enormous amount. Their dedication to helping you become a fully fledged developer is second to none. I am confident in my abilities as a developer and knowing I will still have the constant support from _nology is extremely important. There is an extremely high level of training which prepares you for the working world and the client project is really what sets it apart. The client project prepares one of the agile environment which is the most common team format in todays technological teams and is an experience one would not get at a university or formal education insituation. I would highly reccommend _nology to anyone who wants to find their way in tech.

I found Nology through this website and choose it because of its good reviews, reasonable price, the ability to study online and the connections to jobs and resources. I am very glad to say that I have made the right choice. Not only am I leaving this course with my first developer role but I feel that I am leaving with skills and techniques to continue to learn on my own. I could not recommend this course enough to those who are looking for a career change or those who are interested in a career in tech. Thanks again to Calum, Roisin and Nology Australia!!!

Really enjoyed the experience at Nology. 
The coaches are very helpful and always happy to go over course material that is not very clear or guide you on your personal projects.
If you are considering joining Nology I recommend doing as much prep work as possible. Go beyond the pre-course required and look in advance into the topics covered in the curriculum. It will help immensely as the pace is fast.
Job support is good and you will be put forward to positions by the Careers team but you have to do your own job hunt as well. I managed to secure a position in less than 2 months after graduating.  

I have always been interest in a career in tech, but since I didn't do that good at school as a teenager I kind of gave up to that idea. When covid arrived I finally had time to explore some options and I started to code on my own with the help of some free online resources.
As soon as I understood I really enjoyed coding and wanted to take my coding skills further I started to look for a boot camp online,  and when I came across _nology  I felt like it was the one.
After calling them and talking to Jenna who clarified any doubt that I had, I decide to join.
After a few weeks on the course I was certain to have taken the best decision of my life, the coaches, Matt and Charlie, teaching methods and explanations were extremely clear and satisfactory, and they were very supportive, willing to guide me through every difficulties.
During the second month of the course we worked on a real client project and just few days after the course finished I was offered a job in that very same project!
If you are very passionate about coding I definitely suggest you to make that first step and contact _nology.

I don't even know where to start with this review, as there is honestly so much to say about this course. 
I had never considered coding, I didn't know what it even meant quite frankly until around April this year. I saw the ad for the taster session, decided I would give it a go, and surprisingly really enjoyed it and decided to take the plunge. I had graduated from university a year prior, and had worked the odd job without knowing what I wanted to do with my career. After the taster session, I knew. 

The course was incredible. I had never coded before (apart from the pre-coursework) and thought it would be to my disadvantage, that I might struggle amongst other students that already knew the basics. But no, what a silly thought, I did great and learned as quickly as everyone else. This course has given me so much confidence, pride and positivity for my future. The learning was great, the coaches were great and I miss them, and the people I met along the way were great! The support system that grew amongst my cohort was incredible, struggling together and succeeding together really does bring you close. The client project went really well and gave us a good sense of how it is like to work in a developer team, sticking to deadline, teamwork. I ended up with a very strong portfolio, which I am proud of, and got lots of projects into it ready to show employers. 

I got a full-stack developer role shortly after the course, 1 month and a half later, which I am thrilled about. My role uses technology that we have learned on the course, but also lots of new languages that I have never used. This said, nology has given me the tools to thrive in my job, once you have learned a language/ framework it is waaay easier to get stuck in with a new one. My experience in job searching is different than previous cohorts, in the sense that mine was right in the middle of the pandemic (May-Aug), and so my experience with my job search is different to the incoming intakes, as the job market is opening up and more exciting opportunities are emerging! 

If you are a little unsure about whether to pursue a career in tech, just do it! Don't let it scare you, you will be fine and do great! The course is intense, and I would urge future students to keep that in mind. I say this because although not required, focussing on making projects for your portfolio in your spare time, or strengthening your learning in an area is really really going to benefit you. It's straightforward : the more time you put into the course, the more you will get out of it. But you can do it! And trust me, it will feel so rewarding to see your learning applied to all sorts of projects. There will be good and bad times, topics you understand more than others, but if you put your mind to it, you will thrive! I remember checking out the reviews on here before applying to the course, thinking that people were hyping it up. Writing mine today and sharing my honest opinion makes me smile.

Good luck! (you won't need it)

Prior to joining _nology I went to a number of open days with other bootcamps, but the thing that most set _nology apart was that I felt like they genuinely cared about my development - and I can 100% testify to that having completed the course. From day 1 you're encouraged to find your own voice as a junior developer and the focus is always on teaching you to learn, rather than specific content. Having finished the course today, my main feeling is of excitement about what I can go out and learn myself, and I feel confident that they will be backing me in the job market in the meantime. One of the best things about _nology is you can start from scratch, so if you're thinking you fancy a change and haven't had any experience coding, reach out to them or go along to an open day - you'll be surprised at how quickly you can pick things up.
