    You don't need any coding experience to apply to codeX, but it helps us to know whether you have.

    We require all our applicants to complete two free Javascript and HTML & CSS courses in order to proceed to the Bootcamp.

    We will email the details of the courses when you submit your application form.

    For beginners this is to see if coding is something they really enjoy, and for more experienced coders this helps make sure that everyone has a common baseline to start with.

    If you've done programming at school, university, or in your own time, tell us about your projects.
