“Code Institute’s Software Development
course works really well for us. It’s a longer-
term approach that delivers Python-trained
engineers”
Damien Meere, Technical Training Lead, BT.
The Need:
BT has identified the critical people skills required to meet the future demands of
their business. They focus on reskilling valuable non-technical staff into technical
roles, and upskilling engineers with the latest technical skills so that the BT
product stays ahead of its competition.
The Solution:
Stage 1: Working in cohorts of 6/8 students, both technical and non-technical
teams commence the part-time Software Developer Accelerator
Programme - enabling them to work and study at the same time.
Stage 2: Individual timetables, weekly check-ins, and 1:1 tuition and mentorship
is provided to each student.
Stage 3: Students submit work-applicable projects for grading. In turn, these are
presented internally within BT.
Stage 4: Project Submission.
Stage 5: Graduation.

“When I look at Code Institute students
what interests me about them is really that
combination of background that they have
from a different job, with their coding skills and
their new skills that they learned in the Code
Institute”
Michael Scherbaum, Snr Manager Solution Engineering, Salesforce.
The Need:
Upskilling technical sales teams to deliver more meaningful conversations with
their clients.
The Solution:
Stage 1: Operating a bursary model, Salesforce staff apply directly to Code
Institute.
Stage 2: Applicants meet agreed criteria and receive a Salesforce bursary once
project milestones are complete.
Stage 3: Personalised timetable and supports are developed helping students to
manage work and life commitments.
Stage 4: Once graduated, students are in a position to apply to roles such as
Solution Engineer, Account Executive, or Tech Analyst.

“Code Institute takes you from the very
beginning. It starts from there and then builds
up to a complete environment. A complete
application. Front end, back end, everything in
between, and I like that”

The Need:
During a corporate restructuring project, the client offered staff reskilling
opportunities as part of their exit package.

have the aptitude to be reskilled into a technical role.
Stage 2: Code Institute ran an intensive, 14-week online programme where
students studied together at the same location in Amsterdam.

tutoring and mentoring.
Stage 4: Within three months of completing the course, all students had gained
employment in technical roles.
