Coding bootcamp Northcoders has launched a new campus in Leeds city centre.

First established in Manchester in 2015, Northcoders has since trained nearly 300 people via 23 cohorts, and in the past year 96% of students have secured software developer job offers within 15 days of graduating.

The new site is located at Bruntwood‘s Platform, the city’s newest tech community, from where a dedicated team of teaching and support staff will work across both the Leeds campus and the existing Manchester base in Federation House.

The main course being offered in Leeds is Northcoders’ 12-week, full-time flagship Coding Bootcamp programme which has been devised for career changers. It starts on Monday 25th February.

Northcoders is also staging its two-evening Introduction to Programming course, which will start on January 22nd.

Chris Hill, founder of Northcoders, said: “As a business, we have wanted to open a base in Leeds for a while but the timing and location had to be right. Leeds and the wider Yorkshire region has a dynamic and exciting tech community so we wanted to add to that mix by offering a first class coding bootcamp that taught the skills employers actually need.

“A lot has been said about the Northern Powerhouse but for us it’s really just about creating better collaboration across the Pennines. We are so excited about opening in Leeds and our focus in now on delivering a calendar of world class courses that will deliver the coding stars of the future.”
