Part-time or evening

Slower pace, often alongside a job.

Web development

Building websites and applications, the most common bootcamp subject.

How people pay

Six payment routes, and what each one asks of you

01

Paying upfront

You pay before or as you start. You know the cost, with no later repayments.

02

A loan

You borrow to pay and repay with interest. Check the rate, fees and total repaid.

03

Instalments

You pay in parts. Check whether it is credit, what it costs in total, and whether the lender is authorised.

04

Deferred payment

You pay later, sometimes after finding a job. Check the conditions and the total.

Government-funded places

Skills Bootcamps in England, where available. Ask whether you qualify.

06

An apprenticeship

You earn while you learn and your employer pays for training.

Good to Know

Questions about Namoye

What is a coding bootcamp?

It is an intensive, short course that teaches programming skills for a particular kind of work, such as web development or data. Courses differ a lot in length, quality, cost and how much support they give.

Are bootcamps regulated like universities?

Mostly not. A bootcamp isn't normally a university course, and many aren't covered by the registers that apply to higher education. That makes it more important to check the provider's claims, terms and reviews yourself.

Will a bootcamp get me a job?

No course can guarantee one. The job market for new developers changes. Ask what recent graduates in your area have gone on to do, and how the provider supports your job search.

How should I judge placement and salary claims?

Ask how the provider defines a job outcome, who is counted, which period the figures cover, and whether anyone independent has checked them. Advertising rules require claims to be backed by evidence, so you can ask to see it. Be cautious of figures that leave out people who dropped out or took jobs unrelated to coding.

Are there government-funded options?

In England, government-funded Skills Bootcamps exist for some digital skills, and software development apprenticeships let you earn while you learn. Availability depends on where you live and your circumstances, so ask what applies to you before you pay for a course.

How much does a bootcamp cost?

It varies widely. Namoye doesn't set prices. Ask for the total in writing, including any fees beyond tuition, and what you would pay if you left early.

What payment options are there?

You might pay upfront, borrow, or pay in instalments. Borrowing and instalment plans can be regulated credit, so ask for the total you'd repay, the interest and any fees, and check that the lender is authorised. Read the terms of any deferred or income-linked plan carefully.

Do I need experience first?

Some courses start from scratch and others expect some experience or ask you to complete preparation work. Ask what you need and whether there is an entry test.

Is there a refund if it isn't right for me?

Policies vary. Ask what happens if you leave in the first weeks, and get it in writing. If you agree the course online or away from the provider's premises, you generally have a 14-day right to cancel.

What should I have ready?

What you want to learn, any experience so far, and your postcode. If you don't have everything, send the request anyway.

Is Namoye a bootcamp?

No. Namoye is a free matching service. It doesn't teach or guarantee jobs. Any offer or advice comes from the provider that contacts you.

Will several providers call me, and does it cost anything?

No to both. A verified professional contacts you, and Namoye is free for you.
