Cloud Engineering Bootcamp
Become a Cloud Engineer in 13 weeks at our Cloud Engineering course in Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Birmingham and remote.
Learn the skills you need to become a Cloud Engineer
Our newest bootcamp focuses on one of the most in-demand jobs in the tech sector - Cloud. What didn't exist as a separate job a few years ago is now one of the most sought-after skill sets in the industry.
Unlike our Software Engineering bootcamp where you learn a mixture of back-end and front-end with a focus on building web applications, and our Data Engineering bootcamp which deals specifically on “the back end” of software, the Cloud Engineering course focuses on cloud platform development.
The course is designed and delivered by industry experts, who will give you the skills, support and advice you need to kickstart your career as a junior cloud engineer.
The application process takes 2-3 weeks and we would advise you to apply sooner rather than later to give yourself plenty of time to work through the preparation materials.

Introduction Week
We'll begin by helping you build your confidence with JavaScript, laying the foundations for you to be able to handle data and create interactivity on websites and apps. We'll also provide you with resources to help you build your HTML and CSS skills.
Fundamentals
First things first. We’ll give you a solid understanding of the fundamentals and best practices of programming. We'll cover test-driven development, pair programming, object-oriented programming and a range of other core tools and workplace practices through the medium of JavaScript.
Back End
JavaScript is the only language that can be run both on the front and back end. Once you’ve mastered the fundamentals of coding in JavaScript, we show you how we can use use Node.js to run code for the back end, and focus on ways of dealing with asynchronous programming. We'll look at APIs and databases, and cover Express and SQL.
Cloud Fundamentals and Provisioning
It's all about the cloud next - by this point you will have experienced developing and running software on your own computer. This phase of the programme is where you will begin working with AWS to get apps deployed manually, begin working with Terraform to use Infrastructure as Code. Then you will have a week long project to create a network using Terraform wherein you will deploy a series of microservices which will emulate a smart home.
Application Deployment
Building on provisioning you’ll understand and create your own Kubernetes cluster. You’ll operate this cluster and deploy applications in the form of docker containers to your cluster. We’ll also explore automating the deployment through Continuous Integration / Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) tools. Once the applications are running, you’ll build on your understanding by developing knowledge of monitoring and observability of those applications.
Project Week
This is where we take everything we have learned to deploy a set of applications on to your cloud environment. Using all the previous skills you’ll create servers and services, build and deploy applications and set up the monitoring for when they are running.

How much experience do I need?
None. You can apply to our bootcamps with no prior experience (although you might enjoy getting started prior to application!) If you've never coded before, we will help you get started and help you discover whether it is right for you before you commit to the course, and support you every step of the way.
Do I need any qualifications to do this course?
No. We're far more interested in what you want to achieve. This course is designed for people from any and all walks of life who are interested in starting a new career in tech, regardless of what you have done before.
How do I get a place on the course?
First, you’ll need to apply. You can’t miss the big red ‘Apply Now’ button on this website! The application itself is simple. We’ll ask you to tell us a little about yourself and you’ll be able to choose which bootcamp you want to do. If you’re not sure if Northcoders is right for you yet, that’s fine! There’s no commitment to joining us at this stage, it’s completely free to apply.
You’ll then receive an email inviting you to sign up to our applicant platform Northcoders Passport. On there, you’ll see a step-by-step guide on how to get onto the bootcamp with direct links to all your learning materials.

Once you’ve completed most of the learning materials, we’ll send you a link to book your Entry Challenge.
The Entry Challenge is a short series of coding problems. You’ll have 60 minutes to solve as many as you can. You’ll then have a quick Zoom call with one of our tutors so they can ask you a few questions about your code and to give you the opportunity to explain how you approached the problems. It’s designed to test your knowledge of the preparation materials and your natural aptitude. We’re also looking to see if you share our passion for coding!
