At Northcoders, we are committed to supporting women who aspire to become software engineers. Our coding bootcamp is designed to create an inclusive and empowering environment where women can thrive in tech. Here’s how we help women get into coding and succeed:

1. Free In-Person Workshops

We offer free in-person workshops that provide hands-on experience with coding. These workshops are designed to give women a taste of what coding is like, helping them to build confidence and foundational skills before committing to a full bootcamp. Our workshops cover various programming languages and tools, including JavaScript, Python, and Java, ensuring participants get a broad exposure to coding.

2. JavaScript Basics: An Accessible Learning Course

Recognising that many existing learning platforms can be intimidating, particularly for women, we built our own introductory course, JavaScript Basics. This course is designed to be more accessible and user-friendly, providing bite-sized lessons, interactive coding exercises, and real-time feedback. This approach helps women to learn at their own pace and build confidence in their coding abilities.

3. Supportive Events and Expos

We actively support and participate in events that champion women in tech. These events provide networking opportunities, inspiring talks, and workshops that empower women to pursue careers in technology. By engaging with these events, we help women connect with industry leaders, potential mentors, and like-minded peers.

4. Flexible Payment Options

We understand that financial constraints can be a significant barrier for many women looking to enter the tech industry. To address this, we offer flexible payment options, including interest-free deferred payments. This allows our students to focus on their education without the added stress of upfront costs, making our coding bootcamp more accessible to everyone.
