SPILLIN' THE TEA ON THE

+MASTERS

The Code First Girls +Masters is a four-week intensive course that will provide learners with additional skills and knowledge across DevOps & Cloud, Mobile App Development, Data Analyst or Cyber Security.  

CFGDEGREE +MASTERS

The +Masters is intended as an extension for recent grads of our CFGdegree, to help prepare candidates for more specialised job roles with our partner companies.

INTERNAL UPSKILLING OR CANDIDATE ATTRACTION

The +Masters is also an option for companies wanting to upskill internally or attract women and non-binaries in tech to more bespoke roles inside their businesses.

+MASTERS CERTIFICATION

Candidates who successfully pass the +Masters will receive a certification recognising their learning achievement and specialisation. 

+MASTERS COURSE

TIMINGS & STRUCTURE

The +Masters courses will be timed to commence approximately one week after each CFGdegree cohort finishes. This will usually be in June, September, and November. 

COURSE LENGTH

Each course runs for four weeks and, like our CFGdegree, it will run four nights per week (Monday – Thursday) between 6.30pm and 8.30pm.

VIRTUAL OR IN-PERSON?

Currently, all of our courses are virtual, however, we do like to celebrate with a little (optional) graduation ceremony at the end for our CFGdegree and +Masters grads!

WHAT IS THE COURSE STRUCTURE?

Aside from the lessons and virtual learning over the four weeks, learners will also need to pass a final assessment to receive their certification.
