Build Real Financial Technology Skills

Eight months that actually prepare you for modern fintech development work

Our programme runs from October 2025 through May 2026. You'll work with payment systems, regulatory compliance frameworks, and security protocols that banks and fintech companies actually use. No shortcuts—just practical experience with tools like Stripe integration, PSD2 compliance, and encrypted transaction handling.

What You'll Actually Learn

Four phases that build on each other. Each one takes about eight weeks, and you need to finish one before moving to the next.

Foundation Phase

Weeks 1–8

Start with the basics that matter in financial software. We focus on secure data handling and the regulatory landscape before touching any frameworks.

  • Financial data structures and validation
  • FCA guidelines and compliance basics
  • Security protocols and encryption fundamentals
  • Version control for sensitive codebases

Integration Phase

Weeks 9–16

Connect payment gateways and handle real transaction flows. You'll deal with webhooks, API authentication, and error handling that keeps customer data safe.

  • Stripe and PayPal integration patterns
  • OAuth2 and secure API connections
  • Handling failed transactions properly
  • Testing payment flows without live money

Compliance Phase

Weeks 17–24

The part most programmes skip. Learn how to implement KYC checks, handle GDPR requests, and build audit trails that regulators expect to see.

  • KYC verification workflows
  • GDPR data handling requirements
  • Building transaction audit systems
  • Anti-money laundering detection basics

Portfolio Phase

Weeks 25–32

Build something that demonstrates what you've learned. Past students have created personal finance trackers, invoice systems, and micro-lending platforms.

  • Project planning and scope definition
  • Architecture for financial applications
  • Code review and quality standards
  • Documentation that employers value

Work With People Who've Done This

Our instructors have spent years building actual fintech products. They've dealt with regulatory audits, scaled payment systems, and fixed security vulnerabilities at 3am.

How We Actually Teach This

Theory matters, but only when it connects to real scenarios you'll face at work. We mix lectures with hands-on problem-solving.

Weekly Code Reviews

Submit your work every Thursday. Get detailed feedback by Monday. We look at security issues, code organisation, and whether your solution actually solves the problem properly.

Live Debugging Sessions

Tuesday evenings, we tackle real bugs submitted by students. Watch instructors work through problems, explain their thinking, and demonstrate how to use debugging tools effectively.

Industry Case Studies

Learn from actual incidents—payment gateway failures, data breaches, regulatory penalties. Understanding what went wrong helps you avoid those mistakes in your own work.

Flexible Schedule

Two live sessions per week, plus recorded content you can watch anytime. Most students spend 12–15 hours weekly. Some take longer when juggling full-time jobs.

The programme didn't promise me a job, but it gave me the skills to actually apply for fintech developer roles with confidence. The compliance section was especially valuable—most bootcamps skip that entirely.
