Pop-up coding courses launched in Manchester to make tech skills accessible in the North West

A series of innovative pop-up coding courses have been launched in Manchester to help introduce web and app design skills to individuals of all ages.

Curated by Lovecode – a company focused on providing affordable, accessible coding education – the one, two and three-day courses offer easy-to-learn first-step training in HTML5, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. In line with national initiatives launched by the Government and the BBC to emphasise the importance of coding skills in the UK, the Lovecode courses introduce beginners to a wide range of web development techniques and helps communities establish a foundation for digital knowledge.

Ian Surry, co-founder of Lovecode, said: “Awareness of the importance of digital literacy has become a national priority. However, affordable first-step coding courses that are accessible to individuals of every age are not widely available outside of London. Lovecode’s courses allow anyone, from students to pensioners, to develop an understanding of how to code and practically apply this knowledge to every day personal and professional situations.”

The initial full-day coding courses will be held on 4-6 June at the Studio in Manchester. Students can choose from one or two day programmes covering everything from the coding basics to hands-on experience with web design. Participants completing the three-day course will further develop a strong understanding of web development and design, equipping individuals of any age and background with the knowledge to start building websites and web apps.

Surry added: “The North West has become a vibrant hub for start-ups and established tech-focused companies. It is essential that we offer affordable educational opportunities to individuals in the community that provide access to the digital skills that regional employers need to stay competitive.”
