How did you find your time on the bootcamp?

Such a rewarding time. You learn so much and have a great time whilst learning; the whole thing is fun!

I wish I'd taken the course a lot sooner. My advice would be to go for it, the sooner the better!

May 2018

What were you doing before the bootcamp and what made you apply?

I was doing a job that no longer challenged or stimulated me, I was sleepwalking through it. I had been learning to code in my spare time and it was time to start coding full time.

What was the support like on the course?

The support I got was brilliant, any question you asked they took the time to help you and make sure you understood.

How much support did you receive from Northcoders with your job search after the course?

Brilliant, I got to choose from a range of potential employers and I got my first pick! I was given help with my CV and personal help and support when it came to interviews.

What advice would you give to anyone thinking about applying?

I spent a lot of time learning on my own and trying to figure out what to learn and where to learn it, I wish I'd taken the course a lot sooner. My advice would be to go for it, the sooner the better!
