Tech training provider Northcoders has announced details of its new Part-Time Academy for Businesses.
It has been created to help businesses wanting to onboard new developers directly into their teams or upskill existing employees in just 20 weeks.
The course is an extension of its In-House Academies offering which has been adopted by KPMG and NHS Digital.
The core aim of the Part-Time Academy is to deliver adaptable developers who have a deep understanding of programming and the ability to quickly adapt to any company’s tech stack and codebase.
“Businesses who put their staff on our part-time course will see them delivering value from day one, as the skills they learn are immediately applicable to real-world projects and aligned with their company’s practices,” said David Bartlett, head of the Part-Time Bootcamp team at Northcoders.
“The demand for tech talent continues to grow, and we are here to help businesses scale their teams quickly and affordably.”
The Manchester-based firm will deliver the training remotely so people can learn from the office or home – a strategy which they say will give firms full visibility into their progress.
Since it was established in 2016, 95% of Northcoders’ 4,000 graduates are now working as software developers at more than 450 businesses across the UK.
The average time it takes for a Northcoders graduate to find work is 40 days.
Northcoders says companies which use the Part-Time Academy to upskill employees rather than hiring externally will save on recruitment, onboarding and training costs.
Businesses will also not have to cover workloads or hire temporary staff as the trainee doesn’t leave the business.
The course includes three and half hours of taught content per week which is broken down into two hours of lectures, one hour of seminars and 30 minutes of one-to-one mentoring.
The listed group delivered a 26% increase in revenues to £4.4 million for the first six months of 2024.
