A lot of young people wanting to get into the IT industry or those looking for a career change are asking the question of “are coding bootcamps worth it?” And the answers// speaks for themselves.

Digital whizz kids trained by Europe’s leading software engineering bootcamp have greater earning power after just 12 weeks compared to university graduates.

London-based Makers, which has been rolling out highly-skilled digital engineers for more than five years, has revealed the astonishing income power of its bright stars, who are earning an average of £32,000 a year.

According to the latest High Fliers report, The Graduate Market in 2018, the average starting salary for UK graduates this year was £30,000. However, graduate-jobs.com estimates the average starting salary for graduates is £19,000 – £22,000 – significantly lower than someone boasting digital skills from coding bootcamps like Makers.

The findings were unveiled after Makers surveyed 500 of its former students, some of whom are now working for the UK’s leading blue chip organisations including the BBC, HSBC, Deloitte, The Financial Times and the Telegraph Group.
