Course overview
Get started in coding with JavaScript
This three-day course breaks down the core logic behind coding languages, such as sequence, decision-making, and loops that operate through JavaScript. You’ll learn to build basic programmes and grasp key ideas in both object-oriented and procedural programming. Perfect for those starting out and wanting skills that can be applied widely.
Learning objectives
- Create and test JavaScript programmes
- Understand fundamental coding structures
- Use variables, functions and expressions
- Manage arrays and control loops
- Implement logical conditions
- Apply object-oriented design
- Differentiate between procedural and OO approaches
- Understand code compilation and debugging
What you’ll learn
Through practical examples, you’ll learn how code works from the ground up using JavaScript. You’ll gain hands-on experience, moving from basic syntax to fully structured programmes, ready to apply your skills in real-world settings.
Programming foundations
Start with the basics, such as variables, data types, operators, and expressions. Understand what makes up the structure of any programme.
Control flow
Use if-else and switch-case logic to write responsive programmes that behave differently depending on the input.
Working with collections
Work with arrays and strings to store and handle sets of data effectively.
Functions and procedures
Build and reuse code using functions. Understand parameters, return types, and structured programming.
Object-oriented principles
Explore how to build applications using objects and classes, and see how this approach helps manage complexity in larger programmes.

What our customers say
“Stuart was a fantastic instructor. The contents of the course were really interesting and at no point did it feel like a chore. Pacing was in my opinion the most impressive aspect. I think it's hard to get this exactly right, especially when there is a mix of previous exposure to what is being taught. Stuart managed to move quickly enough to keep everyone engaged, but at no point was anyone left behind. The mix of direct teaching, group discussion and individual tasks was great. People were able to go off and work on their own solutions, but everyone came together again to decide the best approach afterwards.”
