The Coding for Beginners course is a beginner-friendly course designed to launch your career in software development.

Choosing to learn coding, opens doors to exciting opportunities, both professionally and personally. Here’s why pursuing coding can be one of the smartest career moves you make:

High Demand = Strong Job Security:

Every industry, from finance and healthcare to media and retail—needs skilled developers to build, maintain, and improve digital systems. Why it matters:

  • There’s a global shortage of qualified developers
  • Companies are constantly hiring for roles like Web Developer, Software Engineer, and Full-Stack Developer

Example UK average salaries:

  • Full-Stack Developer: £64.3k/year

The more skills you learn (e.g. cloud computing, React.js, Python), the more you can earn.

Flexible, Remote-Friendly Careers:

Most developer jobs offer remote work, hybrid models, or flexible hours. This makes coding ideal for:

  • Parents
  • People with mobility limitations
  • Anyone seeking better work-life balance

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
