Short answer: Yes.

We interviewed one of the first graduates from http://www.makersacademy.com/ and we were blown away at how much potential he showed after only 12 weeks of training.

We made him an offer however he ended up taking a role with a company that required less of a geographical upheaval.

From what I recall, he had three offers from three different companies, all above £30k and he was worth every penny.

*Edit: I just realised that my effusiveness for Makers sounds like I am promoting the company. I am not affiliated to Makers in any shape or form. Purely a fan of their work.
