Dev Leap was built around one goal: getting you hired as a developer. Every decision — curriculum, mentorship, projects — exists to serve that outcome.
Practical, Hands-On Learning
Every lesson is built around real code you write and projects you ship. We skip the passive lectures — you learn by doing from day one.
Real Project Experience
Build a professional-grade portfolio across your program. Every project is designed to mirror what you'd work on in a real dev team.
Industry-Aligned Curriculum
Our curriculum is reviewed by hiring managers and senior developers. You learn exactly what the job market expects — nothing more, nothing less.
Dedicated Mentorship
You're never alone. Every student has a dedicated mentor — a working developer who provides regular 1-on-1 sessions, code reviews, and career guidance.
Structured Learning Path
Our curriculum is carefully sequenced so skills build on each other. No random tutorials — a clear, proven path from beginner to junior developer.
Career Launch Support
Job prep is built into the program. Resume review, interview coaching, portfolio critique, and connections to hiring partners — we get you to the offer stage.

Your Learning Path
Four phases that take you from zero to employed
Each phase builds directly on the last. By the end you won't just know the theory — you'll have built the things that prove it.
.NET & C# Foundations
Write real code from day one — with AI tools that every professional developer uses.
- Use GitHub Copilot and AI coding assistants the way professional developers do — from day one
- Write working C# programs that solve real problems
- Model the world around you using classes, objects, and interfaces
- Use Git and GitHub exactly the way every developer on every team does
- Store and query real data in SQL Server — not dummy JSON files
Backend with ASP.NET Core
Design and ship APIs that could power a real product — not just a demo.
- Build REST APIs that any frontend or mobile app can consume
- Connect your app to a live SQL Server database with Entity Framework Core
- Secure your endpoints with JWT authentication — exactly how production systems work
- Structure your code with Dependency Injection so it stays maintainable as it grows
Frontend with React
Front to back — you build the UI, call your own APIs, and make it look professional.
- Build React UIs that consume your ASP.NET Core APIs end-to-end
- Handle real-time features — live notifications and dashboards with SignalR
- Deliver apps that work beautifully on every screen size
- Manage file uploads to Azure Blob Storage through your own .NET backend
Microsoft Cloud, AI & Career Launch
A live portfolio, AI-powered features, automated deployments, and the interview skills to compete.
- Build a real AI feature with Azure OpenAI — chat, summarisation, or semantic search — into your portfolio app
- Deploy your app to Azure with a CI/CD pipeline that ships on every push
- Containerise your .NET application with Docker — what employers expect in 2025
- Graduate with a polished GitHub portfolio and live, working demos
- Walk into technical interviews with real confidence — not just memorised answers
