The South African coding courses can net you a starting salary of up to R300,000

Jobseekers who complete one of the courses on offer from South African coding schools and bootcamps can expect to earn an annual salary as high as R300,000.

With the country's dire shortage of tech and digital skills, the value of skilled professionals in the local market is evident.

As high as, is that high?

 

[username and 23 others]

Nah!

Rather get a job at the SABC people. Less stress. Less work. More pay! (R791 000.00)

BS. Unless coupled with a degree...

Any training company making those kinds of claims is talking absolute nonsense. You'll be very lucky if you're earning 15K p/m as a junior fresh out of any college, let alone university. If you're entering into a coding academy the assumption is that you don't really know anything about coding going in.

Trust me, you'll know barely much more after coming out. You'll have TONS to learn. Maybe you'll better understand some fundamentals which will help set you up for the future, but no chance are you going to be an effective developer if you've never done it before without at least 2 years of prior experience.

If you want to code, and want to learn coding, and you have access to a PC and the Internet, then just learn to do it yourself, don't go to these coding bootcamps, they won't teach you anything you can't teach yourself with a bit of initiative and effort, and the more you teach and push yourself the more you'll learn. The vast majority of highly effective engineers I've met in my career were self taught prior to ever doing any studies.

This course is fine if it’s all one can do... and perhaps if it’s free. A degree would take someone much further on average.

This reads more like an advert instead of an article... Maybe it is missing the "Partner Content" label.

Every single article in MyBB that mention a salary number has been absolute B. S. Rather stick to tech news even if salary articles are nice and clickbaity.

This is also not the first time this has happened. I've called it out before but nothing changes. I don't think anyone here has an issue with partner content but it should be labeled as such.

I'm no developer, but from my view your links and time (experience) in industry mean more than whatever you may have studied.

 

[Slootvreter]

Bloody hell, what sort of article is this?

 

[MirageF1]

w3schools and programiz for most of the major popular languages to get you started on Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, html5, Django, etc etc etc

Both free and you can start at the click of a button.

Save yourself time and money paying for a course, plus go at your own pace and experience allows...unless your company is doing so for you.

Not generally true. Reason being that what you study will likely determine what you do and where you work in industry. So it determines the type/quality of experience. For concepts that you can pick up as you go or just watch a tutorial for, you are correct. (And much of the bootcamp material falls into this category)

Pretry much what I said.

Yes, a qualification helps.

Still, if you grew up with DOS or Linux then you are already way ahead of the curve as a start.

There once was a thread here many moons ago about CTI, they made something similar. Also go learn at a proper university / technical college. I don't understand how you can fit a 3 year course into a year. But then I would rather know the car works, and understand it, how the engine works, how it's all connected, Rather than just knowing how to drive it, by turning the steering wheel, and pressing the accelerator.
