Women in Tech - Coding and Software Foundations

This 6-week teacher-led intensive, starting March 10, 2026, is specifically designed to empower women by providing a professional development "workshop" environment. Rather than just studying theory, you will step directly into the 01Founders CodeLab, a pre-configured space where you will work on real-world code. Guided by expert instructors, you will learn how to navigate complex projects and contribute to a team, giving you a true taste of a developer's daily life. By the end of the journey, you will earn a College Certificate and have the technical confidence to pursue a career in software engineering.

Using the CodeLab as your primary workshop, you will master the essential toolkit of a modern developer:

• Professional Workflows: Learn to use documentation and "Start Here" guides to navigate large-scale projects.
• Full-Stack Development: Build new features and components for live applications.
• Problem Solving: Identify and fix bugs within an existing codebase to understand how software fits together.
• Version Control & Collaboration: Master Git and GitHub to manage your code and collaborate with your peers.

 Quality Assurance: Run automated tests to check for mistakes and ensure your code works perfectly before deployment.

We welcome beginners who are curious and motivated! While no formal coding qualifications are required, you must meet the following criteria:

• Skills: A basic appreciation of logic is essential for coding. You must also have conversational English skills to follow technical instructions and collaborate with your team.
• Age: You must be 19 years or older as of the course start date.
• Location: You must currently live in a London borough.

**Funding & Status: To qualify for this funded course, you must demonstrate your right to live and work in the UK and provide documentation regarding your income or benefits status if applicable.

No formal entry requirements, although an appreciation of logic is essential to coding.
