Easy tryout for coding

A great way to try and see if coding is for you. Easy 5 day instructions by video and then a couple of challenges directly after the video. Great way of learning and a fun way to learn something totally new!

5 Day Coding Challenge

Just finished the 5 Day Coding Challenge with Code Institute... a short and sweet way to get a taste for coding with HTML and CSS, with a light sprinkling of JavaScript! It consists of 5 fun bite-sized sessions that let you discover if coding is for you... I highly recommend it!

Recommend for absolute beginners

The challenge really gives you a taste of what coding is and how fun it can be. It is explained really well in the videos, do that even absolute beginners can understand. The certificate is also really nice to have :)

Leran to Code in a fun & friendly way

Yes it was very wonderful experience here. It was interesting & and not boring at all. Even the coding subject is very dry & hectic itself. But need to add just some more basic assignments in the 5th day to become more familiar with basic java script (variable, method, statement). Thank you for such an outstanding learning environment.

It was very educative and interactive

It was very educative and interactive
But the problem was with the challenges because I was using a mobile phone so the size of the page where I was doing the coding was quit small and it could not be adjusted but the overall thing is that I gained some skill thanks alot hope I continue to learn coding with you

I really enjoyed the 5 Day Coding…

I really enjoyed the 5 Day Coding Course.
I have a small bit of coding knowledge, there was lots of help if you got stuck and of course you can research yourself.
No one bothers you, you work at your own pace, but you are encouraged to do about 45-60 mins a day. You receive a certificate to acknowledge you have completed your course.
If you don’t have any knowledge of coding, I would advise looking on YouTube to grasp the basics for yourself.
There is follow up support and seminars to help.

Course was very good

Course was very good, an easy learning pace with good instructions. I had to look for outside sources for information on a few occasions.
I completed the course in time and found it very useful.
