Digital Enlightenment

It was wonderful. I learnt more in a day than I have since the day I learnt to ride a bike. Think of what that lets you do. This is the digital equivalent. Genius. Never made us feel like fools - instead, they took us gently by the hand and led us into wonderland.

Paul Kitcatt Chief Creative Officer Kitcatt Nohr Digitas

Decoded reinvents the training format whilst giving genuine context to language of the web. Charming trainers and imaginative setting combine to persuasive effect. The workshop excels both as a refresher course and first contact with code. Highly recommended.

Adam Powers Head of User Experience BBH

Coding is now not the preserve of techies with 10,000 hours of experience and expertise. For me, it was akin to the first time I went scuba diving: the sense of wonder as you dip below the waves for the first time and the true landscape of the sea bed is revealed.

Alliott Cole Ventures Team Octopus Ventures

The Code in a Day course exceeded my (high) expectations by far. I knew nothing about coding. I expected the day to educate me to the point where I could make a start. In fact by the end of the day I'd already made a start, and then some, in coding.

Danny Callaghan Business Manager Legal and General

Great day to get a basic understanding of coding. Friendly and enthusiastic teachers that show you have the world of code at your fingertips! Definitely inspired me to pursue my interest further. If I can learn the basics, anyone can!

Kat Bednarczyk Business Marketing Manager Spotify

It has demystified the whole area of coding...Will you be able to code in a day - yes. We all use technology in our daily lives so isn't it time to find out how it works?

Richard Eccles Head of Custom Web Solutions Thomson Reuters

So very useful to get an overview of an area that most never get a chance to understand. Broken down into easy to digest parts that were fun! Well worth doing.

Ross Mahon Google Apps Education Evangelist Google

A great way to spend a day de-mystifying the web and its ways. I have worked in online media sales side for years and didn't take the time or make the opportunity to learn. Decoded lifted the veil in a day. Magical!

Jamie Noble Vertical Partnership Manager Microsoft

Decoded was an absolutely fantastic course pitched at just the right level ... [It] has made me feel much more at home in a technology company! Oh, and the food was amazing too.

Rosa Birch Policy Team Facebook

Attending Decoded was like being let into the magic circle. Before the world of code and digital design was a complete mystery to me. I now know how they cut the lady in half.

Paul Bainsfair Director General IPA

The Code in a Day workshop was inspiring and insightful.

Sara Montgomery Head of Guardian Books The Guardian

Decoded team have put together a unique course that really makes the potentially arcane world of coding relate to the real world of great apps that make our life better.

Steven Bonner Digital Marketing Manager The FA

Decoded was the best training I have ever done, it was insightful and challenging, taking us all beyond our expectations in what we were capable in a really fun and dynamic way. Will recommended to anyone.

Katie Hyson Think Big Internal Manager Telefonica UK

A brilliant day, hugely informative and most importantly fun. I'd recommend it to everyone and I probably will.

David Mahoney Director of Content Policy Ofcom

Don’t think about it. Don’t worry about what it is exactly. Simply go do it. I had no idea what to expect, but Decoded delivered more than I’d hoped for. Digital Enlightenment is a very good summation.

Decoded, it's taken me 22 years to find you and we only spent 1 day together :(... A fantastic course, professionally led, innovative co-creative learning, uber funky learning space and loads of fun.
