How the Derry Method works β†’

You are what you do β€” not what you feel about it

It’s tempting to buy a course and feel like β€œa developer now”. Feeling it changes nothing; doing the work changes everything. So we measure you by what you produce β€” cards cleared, quizzes passed, a capstone shipped β€” not by how motivated you say you are. Identity follows action, never the reverse.

The principle: an image you maintain is not a skill you have. We build the skill; the identity takes care of itself.

Nine tracks. Six-figure trajectories.

Career tracks selected by one criterion: earning power

We only teach the roles at the top of the market β€” ranked by entry-level salary, median salary and maximum earning potential. Every track: 40+ weeks, 50 live classes, priced at 5–10% of the junior salary it leads to.

Software built for one purpose: getting you hired

An engine that learns how you learn

Our proprietary, custom-built adaptive platform adjusts every module to your individual pace and weak points. Integrated spaced-repetition scheduling means week-3 fundamentals are still sharp in your final-phase interviews. No off-the-shelf LMS does this, because no off-the-shelf LMS was built by the people teaching you.

Independent. No venture capital.

Derry Training has taken no VC funding β€” ever. We answer to students, not investors, so profits go back into the platform, the mentors and the hiring funnel instead of into quarterly targets. That independence is why our standards don't bend when growth would be easier.

Every enrolment is still covered by our 7-day money-back guarantee (less deposit) and the 6-month job guarantee β€” full terms at enrolment.
