started<\/h3>\n<p>Before studying at Code College, Hassan started a three-year IT Systems Software Development degree, but found the course underwhelming due to a lack of guidance and very few real-life practicals.<\/p>\n<p>He left the degree after a year and a half, and instead enrolled in and completed an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic.<\/p>\n<p>He was still intrigued by software development, however, and knew a more practical approach towards studying was necessary if he was to continue his journey in this field.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Code College Java Bootcamp<\/h3>\n<p>Hassan took this forward by enrolling in a Code College Java Bootcamp, as the course offers students a practical learning experience that is closer to an apprenticeship than a traditional degree.<\/p>\n<p>When making his decision to enrol, he also noted that the Code College bootcamp boasts an impressive roster of success stories.<\/p>\n<p>After signing up, he was delighted to find that the bootcamp lived up to its impressive reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Each module offered during the bootcamp comprised either one or two weeks of lessons in a physical classroom \u2013 and these lessons were also attended by remote students.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan and his peers covered all of the important course content during this time and got to know each other, making it easier to work together during the follow-up practicals.<\/p>\n<p>As he was studying full time, he spent around eight hours a day studying and found the teaching style of the Code College Java Bootcamp to be extremely valuable.<\/p>\n<p>Code College also helped him to prepare for the job market, assisting him with creating his CV and providing him with interview tips.<\/p>\n<p>The organisation then sent out his CV to their in-house client base to further assist in securing a job.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Getting the job<\/h3>\n<p>He secured his job at an international German luxury car manufacturer through the open market and noted that the employer was very interested in his Code College Bootcamp experience.<\/p>\n<p>Hassan\u2019s story is proof that Code College\u2019s coding bootcamps are a great way to enter the software development industry quickly, while acquiring all of the necessary skills to perform well in the workplace.<\/p>\n<p><a
