Remote Coding Bootcamp
Become a software developer in 13 weeks with our remote coding bootcamp.
Learn the skills you need to become a full stack software developer
Our coding bootcamp is where people like you come to develop lifelong friends, invaluable contacts and all the skills you need to hit the ground running in your coding career.
Unlike our Data Engineering bootcamp where you focus specifically on the "back-end" of software, or our Cloud Engineering bootcamp that deals specifically with cloud platform development, our Coding Bootcamp covers a mixture of back-end and front-end with a focus on building web applications.
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.
Start date
27th November 2023

Software Engineering Bootcamp Introduction
An industry-led experience
Our course is constantly updated to match the skills employers tell us they want, and taught by our experts.
A career-first approach
Build a portfolio to impress, with seven specialist career sessions led by our Career Development experts.
Support from the day you apply
We'll help you get started with code for free with unique content to help you navigate your first few weeks. You'll also have access to our online support network with tutors on hand to answer your questions.
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.
What you’ll learn
Introduction Week
Week 1
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.
If you don’t want to continue onto the 13-week bootcamp afterwards for any reason, we’ll refund the rest of your 13-week bootcamp fee, with no quibble.

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.
If you don’t want to continue onto the 13-week bootcamp afterwards for any reason, we’ll refund the rest of your 13-week bootcamp fee, with no quibble.
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!
Front End
It's front end next - you'll learn all about the DOM (Document Object Model) 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.
