Designed to help you adapt
While we teach in JavaScript, our tutors are experts in a range of languages. We teach in a way that makes learning new languages natural. Three in four Northcoders graduates code in a language other than JavaScript.

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. We’ll also work with some pretty cool third-party data sets and APIs, and help you deploy applications to the cloud!
Careers Week
Ultimately, it's about your career. During this week, we'll deliver a range of sessions to help you get ahead, including industry insight and industry preparation sessions, an in-depth CV workshop, tech interview advice and practice, personal brand development and tech test insight. This week also gives you time to develop your portfolio. Everything's focussed around helping you find a job you'll love.
Our in-house Career Development Experts have your back.
Front End
It's front end next - you'll learn all about the DOM and how to make accessible websites with semantic HTML and responsive CSS, and we'll introduce you to UX. React is the most in-demand front-end framework. We'll teach you to use it in-depth - but we don't stop there. We'll introduce you to its key peripheral technologies, and teach you all about testing front-end applications.
Project Phase
There's no better way to consolidate and extend your knowledge, and prove what you can do, than to get hands on with a real, green-field team project. With previous groups exploring Virtual Reality, Machine Learning, image recognition and blockchain (to name a few!); what you create is limited by your imagination.

Interactive lectures
Our friendly, fully-interactive lectures provide plenty of opportunity to ask questions to the tutor or your peers in real-time.
We don't usually deliver content throughout – we find points to pause, let you try out some coding, formulate questions, and then pick back up afterwards.
Getting support
We check in with everyone on the course every day and you'll have your own mentor, with weekly one-to-one check-ins.
Our collaboration platforms allow you to call and live-share with your peers, and our tutors are always on hand to help through a video link, voice call or code live-sharing sessions.
Building a portfolio
You'll work on a number of projects to help you build your knowledge and show off your skills at building best-practice, complex websites.
Online community
Our online community keeps you connected to other Northcoders, bringing the atmosphere of campus to video, calls and texts.

FAQs
What time do your courses run each day?
Our coding bootcamp runs from 8:30 to 17:00 Monday to Friday. We don’t cover any new content after 16:00, to help our students manage other commitments they might have.
How many contact hours will I have?
You'll get a whopping 480 contact hours while you're at Northcoders. That's what you will need to fully prepare you for a career in tech.
Will I get a mentor?
Yes, you will have a dedicated mentor for each part of the course.
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.
What's the student to tutor ratio?
As a minimum, for every seven students, there will be a tutor. So that's around 7:1.
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. We’ll review your application usually within 48 hours, and decide whether to offer you an Entry Challenge. If you’re successful, we’ll send you our preparation materials. They’re designed to be fun, and are suitable for people who have never coded before. We’ll be there every step of the way to support you and help you decide whether you want to enrol on the coding bootcamp. Finally, to secure your place, you’ll complete our Entry Challenge. It’s relaxed, and you’ll be able to refer to your notes or look things up online. What we’re looking for is your drive to learn to code, and your aptitude for problem-solving.
