About Pellam Institute

Teaching what we do, since 2014

We started with one evening class on SQL in a borrowed room in Clerkenwell. Today 38 instructors teach nine programmes, and every one of them still works in the field.

How it works

Live classes in the evening, a real project by the end

Classes run from 18:30 to 21:00, twice a week, online or on campus. Between sessions you work on a project from your own job, with feedback from your instructor.

  • Two live evenings a week, all recorded
  • A instructor who works in the field, not a script
  • A final project reviewed by the teaching team
