TESTIMONIALS
Don't just take our word for it
Take a look at what past students have said about our teaching.
Will
Python Masterclass
Completing the part-time Python course gave me the skills I needed to accelerate my career.
I particularly enjoyed the challenges that you set us, I always felt like even though they were hard, I was able to apply what I'd learned.
Almira
Software Engineering | Immersive
George was great at providing notes, following up, checking in on us, and even allocating one-on-one time to understand the course. George was phenomenal at keeping us engaged and even going above and beyond the duties of an instructor.
​
I am thankful for all the help he provided and is probably the biggest reason why I got all the concepts the way I did.
Nadia
Software Engineering | Immersive
George is a brilliant, caring instructor and I would always opt to have him teach me concepts related to the MERN Stack, Javascript and Python. He kept checking in and would manage our frustrations, particularly on group work really well. He paced his work and speed to match ours and would not move on without us fully understanding concepts.
Salman
Software Engineering | Immersive
The Instructors encourage us to think and try to solve problems ourselves. If you have a problem, they get you to code it yourself. If you have an error, they help you understand what this error is. Amazing! I think the thing I enjoyed the most about the course is the that it's project based rather than just putting theory in students heads without real experience.

CURRICULUM
Learn-by-doing with instructor-led live classes

Unit 2
Front-End Frameworks: React.js In this module we will learn all about React.js and create a fully functional SPA using modern techniques.
Unit 3
Python API Development You will create a fully functional public API using Python. We will also take a look at AI fundamentals, and Data Processing.
Unit 4
Engineering for the Cloud Here we will look at what a developer needs to know about cloud engineering. Whilst it's important to know how to write code, knowing how to deploy it and leverage cloud technologies will undoubtably give you an edge when interviewing.
Unit 5

FAQs
Got a question about our Bootcamps?
Chances are at this stage you have a couple of questions.
I have absolutely no coding experience, can I join? The bootcamp is designed for absolute beginners to coding, however we do recommend that you do some self learning beforehand. Aditionally we have a pre-work course that is self paced and lays down the fundamental knowledge that you need before the course starts. The bootcamp requires a high level of focus to be successful and therefore we have a thorough interview process to ensure that you are able to learn at the speed of the upcoming course.
How much time do I need to dedicate to the course? To be honest, the more the better. For the part time course you will attend two evening sessions per week live online. You should then dedicate at least two further evenings a week to homework completion, and at least half a day of your weekend to further study. For the full time course, we recommend spending every evening and one day of your weekend dedicated to homework completion and further study. The commitment required is high, but the rewards are huge.
How does your syllabus compare to other bootcamps? We would like to think that our syllabus is the best available. We teach the most in demand languages and technologies, this ensures that you are already versed in the tech that is required by the most jobs. For example we do not teach you Ruby, as even though it’s much easier to teach, there are far fewer Ruby jobs than JavaScript or Python jobs. Unlike many bootcamps we have rigorous quality assurance for our curriculum. Some other bootcamps provide their instructors with guidelines and then allow the instructors to teach how and what they want, with mixed results. We have heard students mention that at some bootcamps ‘it depends on the instructor that you get’. Here at Flatpack we have one vetted curriculum and we evolve it to meet the demands of today’s employers.
What does your admissions process look like? Our admissions process is the same as a common interview process used at the majority of tech companies. First we start with a quick call so that we can find out a bit about you and so that you can ask us any questions about the course. Next we set you a short technical task. Don’t worry it’s not a difficult one, it’s just to prove that you have the ability to learn at the cadence that the course requires. Next we will book in another call with you to go over the technical task. You have the time here to ask any further questions and you will get feedback on your work. We recommend booking in an initial call even if you’re undecided as it’s an opportunity for you to ask us any questions.
