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

I was working in aviation and rail as a maintenance technician, the work was interesting at first but lacks any creative thinking.

What was the support like on the course?

There was always support and guidance on hand. It wasn't a case of just being told how to do it.

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

After finishing the course we were guidance on what to expect in interviews and how to tackle them, there is also a job board which is constantly updated with a large variety of new roles in some brilliant companies.

What advice would you give to anyone thinking about applying?

Learning to code in your own time is tough and sometimes you struggle to know what to learn. With Northcoders they teach you the latest versions of the latest tech, all of which are in high demand.
