New flexi-course launch

 

New, part-time coding bootcamp to drive tech career accessibility

 

Northcoders (AIM:CODE), a market leader in technology training in the UK, is
launching a brand new part-time B2C software development bootcamp that aims to
make careers in tech even more accessible and to increase the number of people
from different backgrounds taking its courses.

 

The virtual course will launch on 15 July 2024, and has been created in
response to demand for alternative structures, carefully tailored for those
who are unable to study full-time due to their professional and personal
commitments.

 

The part-time bootcamp, with the same award-winning and industry-recognised
approach as Northcoders' full-time equivalent, is designed to equip aspiring
developers with the full stack software development skills needed to launch
successful coding careers. The curriculum covers both front-end and back-end
coding and has a special emphasis on web application development.

 

Spanning 30 weeks, the programme requires a minimum of 3.5 hours of contact
time and eight hours of self-study each week. Live lectures and seminars are
scheduled twice a week, with lectures being recorded for those who cannot
attend in real-time.

 

This flexible learning schedule ensures it is feasible to learn to code around
family or employment commitments, particularly accessible for those who are
not able to terminate existing contracts before training for their new career
of choice. This reflects Northcoders' dedication to fostering a supportive and
inclusive learning environment.

 

A significant emphasis is also on collaborative learning. Through study
groups, students will benefit from one-on-one mentoring sessions as well as
specific debugging support to help them navigate coding challenges. This
approach will ensure that students not only learn coding but also develop
problem-solving skills that are essential in the tech industry.

 

Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders, said: "We are acutely aware of the constraints
that employment, childcare, and caregiving responsibilities can place on our
students, so we have deliberately structured our part-time bootcamp to be as
accommodating as possible.

 

"Not only is this in line with the Group's strategy to address the nation's
widening digital skills, but it embodies our commitment to inclusivity and
flexibility, ensuring that anyone who is interested in the opportunity to work
in the ever-growing UK technology market can pursue their ambitions,
regardless of their schedule or background."
