"Northcoders is a supportive learning environment that I looked forward to everyday."
My whole experience of Northcoders was really enjoyable and I learned so much in a short space of time. The tutors were friendly and patient, so that I always felt ok asking for help. In class a lot of ideas were explained through live coding, which I... Read More
Initially I wasn't sure whether I should self-learn instead, because I had done a lot of coding before for data science. I'm now really glad I didn't do that. It would have taken a lot longer to make the career change and I wouldn't have had the experience of pair coding, support, and friendship that I got in NC.

"Good Content Taught at a Good Pace"
The content was good and useful for the job market, taught at a challenging yet not overwhelming pace with the option of resitting block at no further cost. The tutors were knowledgeable with strong familiarity of the content and offered both one-to-one... Read More

"Exactly as described on the Northcoders website."
As an older student with an interesting work history, it took me a little longer to find a job. I still started work only three months after graduation. Everything else, you can see on the website. It really is the real deal - the staff are all helpful... Read More

"Gives you the confidence to grapple with all sorts of things"
NorthCoders hand-hold you to the point where you make a fully-working application with a web-based front-end. When I was there, they taught you the fundamentals of JavaScript before you delved into databases and building a RESTful API for an Express router.... Read More

"A very supportive and useful course"
Northcoders provides an incredible supportive environment, I learned so much during the 12 weeks and couldn't have done it without all their support! The career support was also great and helped me to find a job very quickly after. It's hard work, but... Read More

"Life changing"
Before I started Northcoders, I was apprehensive i.e. I was not sure it was even the `real deal`. However, I was so desperately passionate about coding that I simply had to muster the courage and go for it. The pre-entrance assessment was a little scary.... Read More

JOB SUPPORT
For me personally the hiring process went very well; NorthCoders set me up with several interviews resulting in me accepting an offer of employment around a month after graduating. They also provide some assistance with CV writing / interview technique etc. In my opinion one part of the process that could be improved is communicating feedback from hiring partners. I do also know I have been fortunate throughout the hiring process in finding work relatively quickly; the number of jobs on the board would ideally be higher considering the amount of graduates.
Overall I would wholeheartedly recommend NorthCoders to those looking to get into software development. It provided everything I had hoped for and I had an excellent time whilst studying there too!

"Great experience and highly recommend if you're looking for a career change"
Pros -
Many pros but mainly the fantastic tutors that help you every step of the way and help develop your skills (including 1-1 mentor sessions).
The environment is great and helps you prepare for a real tech job.
The students I studied with have become... Read More
Cons -
Due to the numbers of graduates (roughly between 8 and 12 people every 3 weeks) the market is slightly saturated in Manchester so less jobs available than a year ago

"Highly recommended for anybody wanting to change careers."
I graduated in July 2019. The course was very intense and hard work, but I learned so much. The support throughout the course and after was fantastic. I had interviews lined up before I even graduated, and had accepted a job offer with one of their hiring... Read More

"Life-changing experience"
I never even thought I'd pass the entry test. And yet, here I am, just under six months after starting the Northcoders boot camp, with an amazing job as a front-end developer.
That Northcoders can teach you so much in just twelve weeks is astonishing,... Read More
You might think that twelve weeks wouldn't be enough to get you ready for a career in software development, but there's a clear focus on best practices and in-demand skills, and Northcoders has an excellent careers support service that can help you get to where you need to be as quickly as possible.
If you truly want to kickstart your career as a software developer, I can't recommend Northcoders highly enough.
Hi Christopher, we're really glad that you were able to learn so much and that you found this experience so valuable! It's intense, but it's a lot of fun. We're sorry you struggled with React. We teach HTML and CSS at the end of the Precourse, but we... Read More
