Northcoders, the north west coding bootcamp, has launched a new course after seeing a rise in the number of firms enrolling on its DevAccelerator programme.
The Manchester and Leeds-based coding school said it is launching a new version of its Language DevAccelerator Programme, which has been curated to upskill software developers for the post-Covid economy.
The programme, combining instructor-led workshops, e-learning, mentoring and practical project-based learning, will see developers dive into one of three specific language tracks via dedicated masterclasses for the first time, where participants will be able to focus on GO, Typescript or C#.
Amy Wild, commercial director at Northcoders, said: “Despite the turmoil the world has faced this year, tech has remained one of the most buoyant sectors and its relevance and importance is only set to grow.
“It’s therefore essential that all industries invest in their tech capabilities and their employees’ skills.
“Especially as we know that when firms invest in their developers the commercial and cultural value they get in return is far higher.”
The newly-launched programme is a 13-month industry-led professional training programme, paid for with apprenticeship levy funding, co-investment or levy-transfer.
The bootcamp said, if employers don’t have a levy, they can share the cost with the government, which means the company pays 5 per cent and the government will pay the rest.

Ms Wild added: “We have worked incredibly hard to create a new version of this training programme so it’s exciting that it’s now being launched.
“Our aim is simple: we want to combine our experience in designing and delivering corporate training with an apprenticeship standard that provides a better way for businesses to fast-track their developers to mid and senior level.
“The core benefit is that they will be able to build even better tech.”
The first cohorts are due to start in mid-December.
