Building Tomorrow's JavaScript Developers

We started Forward Climb because we saw too many talented people struggling to break into tech. Our mission is simple: make JavaScript programming accessible, practical, and genuinely useful for building real careers.

Why We're Different

Most coding bootcamps focus on cramming as much information as possible into a few weeks. We think that's backwards. Real programming skills develop through practice, mentorship, and working on projects that actually matter.

Our programs run longer – typically 8-12 months – because we want students to really understand what they're building. You'll work with the same instructor throughout your journey, not get passed between different teachers every few weeks.

We also believe in honest expectations. Programming isn't magic, and it's not for everyone. But if you're willing to put in consistent effort and ask good questions, we can help you build something meaningful.

Lead JavaScript Instructor

Kjetil spent eight years building web applications for Finnish startups before moving to Bangkok in 2021. He's that rare developer who genuinely enjoys explaining complex concepts in simple terms. His specialty is helping students understand the "why" behind JavaScript patterns, not just the "how."

Siriporn keeps everything running smoothly and makes sure no student falls through the cracks. She has a background in educational psychology and speaks four languages fluently. If you're struggling with any part of the program, she's usually the first person who notices and reaches out to help.

Our Teaching Philosophy

What We Actually Believe

Programming is a craft that improves with practice and feedback. We focus on building projects you'll actually want to show people, not completing assignments for grades. Every student works at their own pace, but everyone gets the support they need to reach their goals.
