Radu's story
Radu
Software Developer at Visformatics
How did you find your time on the bootcamp?
I will remember the time spent at Northcoders for the rest of my life. It is not only about coding, but is also about the friends you make, everyone there is like you, everyone is excited about coding, about learning new technologies. The actual learning process is built in a way that really helps you to get where you dream you'll be at one point, is it very intense although I am sure anybody can be part of it. For me it was an amazing experience.

What were you doing before the bootcamp and what made you apply?
Before starting the Northcoders coding bootcamp, I was working at Next Warehouse, packing clothes haha, and everyday thinking that I can do much more! Also in my spare time I've used to enjoy trying to learn coding on platforms like Codeacademy, freeCodeCamp, and Udemy. That's my short story.
What was the support like on the course?
For all the period during my time at the Northcoders, I felt I was in good hands, and this starts with the tutors who are very experienced and ready to help you at any moment until the phase when you getting close to the graduate, and there will be someone to help you with the CV, with the interview preparation, and yes even negotiating with your future employer. Thanks for everything!
How much support did you receive from Northcoders with your job search after the course?
They have closely took good care about every detail, from helping my write my CV to how to interact with a possible employer in the interview. I would say that Northcoders offer a full start-to-end solution for us the people who want to get into the tech industry.
What advice would you give to anyone thinking about applying?
If you want to get into tech, if you've already tried to learn coding and feel you are not going anywhere, if you want to build a network of connections, if you want to speed up the process of getting out there, enrol into the Northcoders bootcamp.
Anything else you would like to add?
1 billion thanks for all the support you offered me, I miss you all, and also I look forward for what life will bring, and be sure I will remember everyone.
