So delighted my course has resumed with some of the same #CodeClan instructors but under the auspices of #CodeBase now. What a turbulent few weeks but our remote course is back up and running at full pace. Phew; ⏩

☀️ Good morning Edinburgh. We’re halfway through the festivals. Here’s Monday’s Edinburgh Minute.

Surprising and disappointing news from #Edinburgh today. Is the job market really that though? For tech workers? #CodeClan seemed to be a success. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-business-66407025.amp

I see CodeClan have gone bust. I'm surprised it lasted so long after Govt support ended. The whole boot camp idea is very dubious and Govt funds would have been better spent on e-learning resources.

I'm sorry for the current students who will lose money - this cannot have been a surprise to the management.

Poor decision making from management to carry on onboarding new students, knowing full well they weren’t going to be able to complete.

A lot of people are going to be out of pocket now 🤦‍♂️

Just heard the news about #codeclan

I have nothing but fond memories from my time there with cohort 6.

Hope all the staff and students are able to land on their feet 🙏

The company running my bootcamp data analysis course has just gone into liquidation and I was only 1/3 of the way through. Im very sorry for all the #CodeClan staff who were brilliant. I now have a beginner training in R but was looking forward to learning visualisation and machine learning. Any suggestions for self-directed remote courses welcome. Also open to job offers.💰

I'm just not having much luck this year. The company running my bootcamp Data Analysis course has just gone into liquidation and I was only 1/3 through the course. Ugh. Feel very sorry for all the #CodeClan staff who have been amazingly supportive to students. Wish the staff well🤞 🙏 Back to square one.
