The course represents one unit of a Level 5 qualification. It's open to any Londoner aged 18+ without an existing Level 4 (post-A Level) qualification. It is match-funded by European Social Funding managed by City Hall and the Mayor of London.

In addition to earning new skills, Introduction to Web Development participants will also receive career coaching and specialist support, helping them to:

• Identify the ideal pathway to continue development, learning, or progress careers once the course completes
• Receive one-to-one guidance on course content when they need it most
• Complete the course on time and achieve goals.

At the end of the course, participants will earn an accredited certificate of completion.

Hannah Barnes, Senior Project Manager of ASPIRE London, says:

“This opportunity is opening the doors to programming for Londoners, helping them to achieve promotions, career changes, or graduate into further study for a full Level 4 Qualification. We hope that through this programme, more people are able to access the benefits of the digital and tech industries with skills that are future-proof.

We’re particularly interested in increasing equality of opportunity through the programme. As this course is accessible 24/7 over the next four months, participants can learn around existing lifestyles and commitments."

Lee Lindsay, Academic Partnerships of Code Institute, says:

“We’re delighted to collaborate with London South Bank University on this initiative. We are providing this Unit for several reasons. Firstly, the learning curve is ideal for anyone with no prior experience; because it sits at Level 5, we have baked in everything learners need to be successful on the programme – from support to career guidance.

Learners will graduate with a solid foundation in software development and will be in a position to pursue further study, find employment, or even build their first website or web app as a pet project. We’re immensely looking forward to welcoming learners aboard.”
