// About this masterclass

What you'll learn in five days.

Software developers remain one of the most in-demand roles across the UK. This five-day intensive won't make you a senior developer overnight, but it will get you to the point where you can build, deploy and talk about a real application in interviews.

We focus on the stack that matters in 2026: React, Node.js, MongoDB, and modern deployment to Vercel/Netlify. Heavy on Git workflows and the practices real teams use.

You need basic HTML/CSS/JavaScript knowledge. If you've built a simple webpage or done an introductory coding course, you're ready.

Honest about who this works for.

Best for: Aspiring developers · career changers

This is for you if…

  • You know basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript
  • You've completed an intro coding course and want to go further
  • Career changers who want to become software developers
  • You want to build something real, not just follow tutorials
  • You can commit to five intensive days of hands-on coding

This is not for you if…

  • You've never written any code (start with a free intro course first)
  • You're already a working developer (try our AI for Developers course)
  • You want mobile app development specifically
  • You prefer a slower-paced learning environment

Your next chapter starts a week on Monday.

Five days is all it takes. Reserve your spot on the next cohort.
