Learn the skills you need to become a full stack JavaScript Web Developer

Our Software Development in JavaScript is designed for those eager to embark on a career in tech, offering a comprehensive full stack web development curriculum. This programme is not just about learning to build websites; it's about forming lifelong friendships, invaluable contacts, and all the web developer skills you need to thrive in a dynamic job market.

Unlike our Data Engineering in Python - Skills Bootcamp which deals specifically with processing large datasets, or our Software Development in Java - Skills Bootcamp that includes a special focus on the Java language and Android app development, our Software Development in JavaScript covers a mixture of both backend and front end web development. You'll gain hands-on experience in creating responsive and functional web applications.


Free places on the Skills Bootcamp are limited and we would advise you to apply sooner rather than later to give yourself plenty of time to work through the preparation materials.

  • 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 Learn 2 Code. 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. They’re designed to be fun and are suitable for people who have never coded before. We’ll be there throughout the process to support you and help you decide whether you want to join our bootcamp. 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!
