Hey! It looks like you're using an old browser - here at Makers Academy we are always looking to use the most cutting-edge features the web offers and unfortunately your browser doesn't allow us to do this. We know you can't always switch, but we strongly recommend using the latest versions of Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome.
Join us to learn how to build elegant, craftspersonlike software, and soon you'll be starting your career as a web developer. Makers Academy is Europe's leading developer bootcamp. Over the past couple of years, we've graduated more than 1000 students into their dream jobs and over 35% of them have been women: two times higher than industry average.
Sadly, however, academic research confirms that men are likely to over-estimate their talents and apply, while women under-estimate and delay. So, if you’re reading this and wondering whether to apply, the answer is yes.
Our graduates include amazing women from all walks of life: everything from mums and students to project managers. They believed they could escape their unfulfilling careers, and now they get to apply their creative skills to work that they enjoy. They have a better work-life balance and work with amazing organisations: big business, and the third sector. You can change the world through code.
Completing the course made me feel more prepared for working in industry and I have a great understanding which has benefitted me throughout my time in my current role.
I have my dream job and I feel like I am unstoppable.

A total emotional rollercoaster with great people on the ride with me!
Makers Academy is an investment in yourself and to be honest, it’s quite cheap in the long run. It’s about you as a person and you are gaining skills that will be extremely useful for many, many years and when you look at it that way, it's actually a steal.
I went on several interviews and found a position as a Junior Developer for Government Digital Service. I'm very lucky to be in a team that is truly Agile and supports my learning through mentorship, a 20% project and more.

My time at Makers Academy was intellectually challenging, a roller coaster of joy, and one of the best decisions of my life.
I now have an interesting job that forces me to think and learn something new everyday and that’s not something I can say for the other jobs I’ve had.
Students from Makers Academy are not the same kind of species as normal developers out there and it’s your background and experiences that don’t necessarily relate to coding that will give you an edge.
Makers Academy changed my life. It gave me the confidence to know that I can achieve whatever I want in life.
Makers was probably the best experience of my life! It was life-changing and like any big change, it wasn’t always easy but I now feel that my future is very bright.
I received a job offer on the Monday after graduation.
It was the hardest thing I've ever done and the best thing I've ever done.
Makers Academy will stay with me forever!
Without Makers Academy, I don't think I would have been able to build a website myself.
Makers Academy was the twelve most intense, insanely challenging and rewarding weeks of my life!
