To complete the part-time course within 52 weeks, a student must spend a minimum of 15 hours per week on coursework. To complete the full-time program, the minimum requirement is 35 hours per week. In some cases, the course can require more time to ensure that a student is staying on track to complete the programme within the allotted time.
It depends on the programme you took. If you do get a job while on the program, you should contact your Berater at the local employment agency to discuss.
One of Code Institute’s main goals is to assist its students in finding a career in software development. To do this, we have put in place a fantastic support structure that will help you through the learning material and help you find employment. Our career support is as follows.
