Code Nation レビュー 

I have recently completed a 3 week course with Code Nation to learn the basics of Python, HTML & CSS. Everybody I encountered at Code Nation was knowledgable, approachable and really friendly. I struggled at first with virtual learning via Zoom as this was not somehting I was used to doing but Jay (course teacher) was amazing throughout and always went above and beyond to ensure myself and everybody else were comfortable with the learning experience and we weren't missing any of the information. Even after the course had concluded, I had a follow up session with Zoe who helped me through creating a LinkedIn profile (I hate writing about myself) so I could network with people in the industry. I couldn't be happier with Code Nation and would reccomend them to anybody with an interest in learning to code.

Hi there I would like to give some feedback about my course I did with use.

My tutors were Keira And Jenny course dated 11th of April till 29th April.

I would like to say that I think My tutors were amazing , extremely helpful , and friendly.
The things I have learnt over taking this course were explained extremely well .



And Keira made the course fun as well as Full of learning when I struggled with anything Keira took time to help me out and help me catch up .
Also took time to speak to me about my personal life that I have been struggling with due to family issues.



I would fully recommend this course and the tutors of this course to anyone that asks about any tech courses.

Thank you for allowing me to be part of this course and I wish everyone the best in the tech journeys..

Great caches, they explain everything very well. If you dont undestand something they will take a time to give you a factual answer. From the start to the end course I felt like I got all suport I could need.

amazing course, very helpful and very easy way to start your journey in to coding

Took the 3 week coding course (virtual). Great outlet to learn code and experiment in creative ways despite the short timeframe. Helpful and patient teachers. The post-employability side seems a bit lacking in terms of job availability in the Liverpool area.

I can honestly say I have enjoyed the experience immensely the staff are amazing, they are kind, thoughtful and patient. They explain everything in the simplest of ways so that anyone can understand. I would highly recommend Code Nation to anyone.

In my opinion, Code Nation is really great in what they are doing. I have got good and excellent knowledge by studying coding and website designing.
I think that three weeks were helpful and I enjoyed the course.

A fantastic learning opportunity with professional, friendly staff and an excellent work ethic.
I would highly recommend anyone with an interest in developing their coding skills to take this course.

This course was so amazing and useful. I learnt many things about Python, HTML, CSS and more things. The tutor was so helpful and explained everything, She was WOW WOW WOW.

Completed the 3week developer course, great course fantastic tutors really positive experience for anyone looking to get into coding but not sure where to start

I was advised by my work coach about the opportunity for a government funded coding course through Codenation and from the moment of first contact I had nothing but complete positive, consummate professional experiences throughout my time with them.
The first two weeks were the teaching and implementation through team project and example of Python, a language entirely new to me and certainly not my strong point, however it was made enjoyable and constructive, by firstly Ezra, who was the admissions representative and painted an accurate glowing outline of the course.
This was followed up by our being in the hands of a fairly new, yet wholly competent, capable, friendly and personable tutor by the name of Demi. A wise head on relatively youthful shoulders, considering her expansive command of her subject matter and her innate ability to put the information across in such a way as to be inclusive of everybody, leaving no one behind, yet at the same time avoiding boredom for the more advanced students. This alone is no mean feat when you consider a zoom class of over 20 students. We were guided through the team project and assisted wherever needed, whilst being encouraged to take the initiative for ourselves. The skills attained here did not stop merely at coding, but rather included confidence building opportunities to tackle public speaking and project management. Overcoming every aspect of working as a team brought into play all transferable skills and any negative situations were expertly handled quickly, effectively and efficiently by the tutor and the team behind her.
Following on from the completion of the first fortnight, we had a final week of web development, encasing the creation, uploading, correcting and planning of an HTML site with CSS included. No matter how much of a challenge this was (and for me, it appeared unsurmountable at one point, until the tutor was able to turn around my despair and bring me to a successful conclusion by taking the time, above and beyond my expectations and further than her reasonable duty should have gone).
Supported throughout by the team of dedicated professionals, some with regards sourcing employment, some involved in CV creation etc the entire experience was manifestly rewarding and fulfilling and could not have been a better time spent for the money. I notice the exception to the rule in finding a bad review from someone clearly not capable of appreciating just what was on offer here, yet true to form the team, or rather "family" at Codenation (for that is how it feels when involved, like a well integrated happy, positive family) stayed positive and used the criticism in a constructive way, subtly and tactfully belittling the negatives, simply by responding with truth to expose the petty and inaccurate claims of one clearly bitter at life individual. I say this because I cannot find fault, as could none of my fellow students, whatever their standard with any aspect, from the masterful tuition, through curriculum, right to the conclusion, with clearly established goals and a sense of achievement upon conclusion. I have come away with an explosion of now widely varying opportunities ranging from the option of further study, to employment prospects, or simply a new found self-belief, confidence and enthusiasm from the knowledge and experience instilled in me by the previous three weeks. It was a rollercoaster of positive learning from which I was sad yet motivated upon leaving.
Encouraged as we were to keep in touch, as most often is said at the end of such occasions, this time the sentiment was enveloped in sincerity and genuine empathy, by those who have lived through the experience that all of us students were involved in and I for one, will be following up on that opportunity and have already taken steps to seek further education through Codenation. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this company and would never hesitate to recommend them to anyone with a positive attitude and desire to better themselves.

Brilliant company. They helped open the door to the coding world for me.

Everyone on the course being students and teachers were very friendly and informative. My tutor Keira Jarvis was available to help whenever I needed, so much so I felt a little guilty. Also Keiras knowledge in her field is vast and is open to sharing.

I thought the course was great really enjoyed it and met some great friendly people.

Thoroughly enjoyed the XR coding course. The tutor was very engaging and was always on hand to help with queries. I have learnt a lot in the short space of time and will be continuing my studies in my own time to build on this experience and knowledge gained. Loved it.

really enjoyed my time in both courses with code nation the staff and resources provided were top notch , well conducted and informative

The course material can be challenging for absolute beginners, but i watched multiple people who could barely even operate a computer at the start stick with the course and develop a strong understanding of all the concepts discussed, as well as make their own fairly complex text-based game using Python.

The course is aimed at beginners, but can also help people slightly familiar with code a slightly stronger foundation. I fell into the second category.

Because of the target audience of this course, the tutors naturally dwell a lot on core concepts to make sure the absolute beginners don't get overwhelmed, but this can be boring for the more experienced coders. Fortunately, they allow flexibility when it comes to individual learning styles.

They put a lot of effort into making sure all the info that is covered in class is also written down in resources accessible by anyone as the course progresses, as well as recording every session for people to look back on later. This allowed me to occasionally mute zoom to work on the research and projects independently by simply using the resources.

I was on the 3-week basic Coding course online and all I can say is it’s a waste of time. What they try and teach you is how to code Python, HTML, and a little insight into the IT jobs market world, which I've known for the past 20 years.

So during your first week they try and learn you Python, for the first 2 days it’s not so bad and you do actually pick up a few coding tricks, it’s after that the course goes downhill.

On the python course, you are told to follow the tutor and then do a few tasks, following the tutor is easy however when it comes to the tasks they really don’t explain them correctly in the time frame they give you. If you’re new to Python coding, you will get lost!

On our third day, for example, we were told to code a bank account code that you have to code money to come out of the bank account with the 'persons name' etc, we had 20 minutes to do this in groups of 3, I actually worked out the code of how to deduct the player/person amount from an account and left it to the others in the group to work out the rest on team share. However we didn’t have enough time to finish it and at the end of the task, we were told by the said tutor that, this was a bit too advance for us and we could have used a code that they didn’t yet teach us, the /n value. This after 3 days of learning confused me even more.

At the end of the 1st week, I sort of understood about 50% of the python course, by then 1 person had dropped out due to it being too complex for them, and I can understand why, 99% of the material they use to teach is from the W3schools website, (in which I used during the third week of my course to help me code HTML instead of learning via the Zoom class).

In the 2nd week we were put into groups of 4 and told to make a python game, so I found an old game online and we modified it to fit our game, which was a bit rubbish, as only 3 of us in the group worked on it and the 4th just sat there all week not doing anything and when he was confronted about what codes he had on his pc, he didn’t have any from the first 2 weeks.

So here comes along the third week and we were told to design a 3-page HTML/CSS website using only Visual Code Studios. For me, I already had some experience with HTML coding over the past 20 years and found the method they were trying to teach confusing so after an hour I switch to Notepad and started designing a 41-page wiki-style website in 2 days using it. I ended up muting the zoom class for most of the 3rd week as it was giving me a headache.

After designing the HTML website (or partly halfway for some), we were told that they had an ‘exciting’ employability session, which it wasn’t and lasted 3 hours! If you’ve been on a Jobcentre employability course before then this is basically what this is. All they talked about was how to ‘advertise’ yourself on Linkin and how good they think it is (despite them saying it’s not a social media website when it is), how to make your CV stand out, how to act during a Job Interview and finally how you should all attend an IT job fair and talk to everyone, which is basically all common sense.

The only thing that really stuck out from this session was how they choose people for work placements during their 12-week course, by having them ask to be put onto their website list for them to recommend you to employers. Given that they only informed us, that when they go to IT job fairs, employers are only seeking people who have degrees in IT, then what is the point of this course?

Overall this course was a bit pointless, you get emails before you start informing you that this is a £900 course and is graded at GSCE level, hence the 4 days/3 weeks, most of the tutors are ex secondary school teachers or stand in teachers. The 12-week course is set at A level standards and it depends on what brings you to this course, whether it’s Jobcentre+ forcing you to go on it with the chance of getting a job (which you won’t) or a college for educational reasons, you’ll find that you’ll learn faster and better (as well as for free) on the w3schools website than this course.

After finishing this course, it took about 2 weeks for my certificate to be emailed to me, and during the waiting time, I got a lot of emails informing me that they now run a cyber security course that is valued at £2000! Lol – thanks but no thanks, but if it’s as bad and basic as their 3-week coding course I’d rather learn from Symantec.
